Always dug that performance. I dont' know if I'd call it the best I've seen.
Yes, not the best but will go down in history because of who it's with.

Awesome, +1 rep right back at ya!
This news clip is probably the very reason MTV had that court footage as stock footage.

Hollywood Rose,Slash first solo Cd & Duffs. What Im saying
is how can you guaranty it will sell enough to cover the cost?How many millions have been spent now?
Another thing I did not finger point any one out.What Im getting at is if Axl wanted to put out a feeler
to just get an idea of what could or could not happen. Angel Down
was a good one. I have lost count of the post I have read not necessarily
here but On Guns n Rose forums that say I only wanted the songs Axl sang on.
But IM not going to pay for it?I do agree that Axl is probably paying attention to Angel Down's sales and also to what is being said on the boards about buying it or the album. I would be.
On the flip side, be it a negative for Baz and Axl [to a degree] when some GNR fans have only downloaded the songs with Axl but a positive for Axl as far as the songs went over amazingly well with GNR fans who expressed how much they really, really liked the songs that Axl sang on but again a harsh reality of the times.
As I am one who bought Angel Down, I can understand how some GNR fans would rather have CD on the shelves available for them to buy, rather then buy a cd with 3 songs that Axl sang on, on a cd they wouldn't have bought anyway. The next best thing for them is to download those songs with Axl and enjoy them or not. I am not saying it's right or wrong, it's the way it is now.

Granted this is a GNR board and I would expect everyone on here to buy this but you never know who just might say no. Which yes, agreed with Pasnow the question would be what are you doing here. I have seen some posts on all boards when it comes to GNR and granted I understand the frustration but the same question comes to mind so I started this thread to see what kind of answers we'd get.

Since the whole issue of downloading is being talked about with recent comments from Baz and the recent layoffs from Geffen and since I started an exact same thread for Angel Down, I wanted to get a feel from this board who will support Chinese Demo. or who won't when it's finally released.
I am definitely supporting.

DoubleTalkingJive wrote:Yeah but Neemo, you have no idea how he approached him and how he said it, if he was really drunk it could have been really fast or wild, or maybe it was more then just a pat.
He doesn't have security against his opening acts, he just has security back there with him and in this day and age, why not have security back there. I am sure he isn't the only artist to do that. After what happened to Dimebag, I certainly see it as not a bad idea.
but when dime was killed it was in a bar, not an arena, its fucked up he hangs with like his security guards more than his band though, seriously, its like darth vader walking around with storm troopers all the time
Axl always had Earl with him in the 90's it's what he does. I don't believe he hangs with his security guards more then his band now on tour, I think that he doesn't arrive with them and he doesn't leave with them but he does party with them. We'll have to agree to disagree

And people wonder Why Axl dose not want to put out a CD?
How many so called Axl fans Down loaded the 3 songs from Sebastian's CD
instead of buying it? As for the Record sales it is 14,000 sold in the US & even
,more internationally. As for the guy who brought up Bring em Bach Alive
there was ZERO promotion for it Sebastian put it out did a short tour & then
went on to Star in a very successful Broadway play known as Jekyll n Hyde.If I where Axl I would "NEVER" put out the new CD.. Are you really a fan or do you just want the music at no cost?
good point ace. I can't believe people are excusing illegal downloading just because of the fact that its 2007. its stealing and its fucked up no matter what. And its even more fucked up that Baz funded this album out of his own pocket. So I don't blame him for being pissed about it.
Sure he can be pissed, lots of artists are pissed but NOTHING gets done about it, how can the industry stop it from leaking, where is it leaking from before it hits the shelves, who on the inside is obtaining tracks or what promotions people that get the album before it's released leak it, it's such a mess to track down it's not even funny, which is why it's getting worse.
I buy albums of those that I support. One can look at downloading in 2 ways, if you have already purchased an album years ago and decided to download it or some of the songs now, I really don't see the harm as long as it's not excessive considering you already forked over for it the first time. New projects on artists that I support, I'd never download from. Maybe that's a weird way of looking at it buts thats how I see it.
With that said, to say he's never going to put an album out again, is a bit harsh when I am sure he's fully aware of the downloading that goes on. An artist nowadays HAS to be prepared for this. Until something gets done it's not gonna stop.
This whole Axl thing, I am gonna start a new thread in the gnr section. Lets get a feel of the people on this board and their stance on buying or downloading CD.

As I stated in my post earlier, he definitely has his quirks for sure and his way of doing things but what this band is claiming is definitely embelished and far from the truth about how they don't hang with Axl. As far as the security guard issue, I am sure he did push him up against the wall but that is what you get when you do a foolish thing like that, knowing how Axl is as far as security goes. No artist would deal with a drunken mess coming up to them and putting their hands on them.
Do you remember that girl who hanged with them sometime during the Aussie tour? She said they had two afterparty rooms: one for Axl, Baz and the 'close friends', and another for the band and 'the rest'.
Maybe they do have two rooms at times or at that particular time but I am sure they mingle in each room. Like I said, I know 3 people that have went to after parties and they hung out with all of them, Axl was in the same room as the band. I am only going by what my friends have told me.
