#1 Guns N' Roses » So I'm reading Steven's book... » 639 weeks ago

and I'm calling bullshit on a couple of items. 
First, is talking about being upset that he did not know anything about playing on the American Music Awards.  Steven makes a remark about keeping  Patience an acoustic number and did not need a drummer.  Did Steven forget that he played drums on Patience during the 88 tour???

Second, he claims that he had no idea that they were going to play Civil War and Down On The Farm at Farm Aid.  I went back and watched the show again, there is a moment where Steven does look like he does not know what is going on right before Civil War.  I can't even believe that on a big show like this with time schedules and live tv that they would never discuss what they were going to play.  he also said that he had no idea how Down on The Farm went, but yet it seems to me he knew where the fills and  breaks were  pretty well.

Just my 2 cents worth.  What do you think???

I don't know about the other 2 books yet (finished Duff's today, started Steven's now, and Slash's is after that!!) but one of the things i keep remembering is that everybody was high, drunk, stoned, or both back in the day.  It's hard to figure out who is telling the truth (and then you add in managers, record label people, etc) and we may never know.  Take everything with a grain of salt.

I think the RNRHOF is going to turn out to be a big mess...but that is another topic for another thread.

wow!  This is a great conversation (IMO).  Thank you for posting the letter!!  So does Axl own alll demos that he might be in his hands?  Things recorded with old lineup??

WOW..i am so behind on all things GNR.  I am only 60% done with the book (according to my ereader).  Never even thought that Axl would redo the contract over the years.  Makes sense.  I always thought it was a power play by Axl to own the name GNR, but after reading how screwed up Duff, Steven, and Slash were...i now think it was more of a save the band name and myself.  I know Axl is no angel...but he might have been the only one not blitzed out of his mind.

Just looked up Chinese Democracy and it was released on Geffen records.  For some reason I thought it was another label.  That would make 6 then.
