We've went from not giving Axl enough credit to giving Slash too much credit, and now apparently Tobias was the mastermind of GNR.
LOL yeah

Cant say money because he's already rich. Cant say art because he obviously isn't interested in musical output.

He's just bat shit crazy.
i diagree with you there
not that he's crazy
but you're reasoning for him doing these things not for art
not all artists make their art for money
they sell their art for money, more specifically
musical output and money , which you have as two reasons, are the same reason in this case IMO
maybe he just wanted to play around with the money he already has lots of and create his art
for himself
he's far less motivated to actually sell it and fine tune and appease the label and the world, etc. etc.
Or maybe Axl was contractually obligated to put out a Guns N' Roses album?
"Do ya think I'm doin' this all for my health?"
he was....................

Yep. Somewhere along the line, Axl regained interest in rebooting GN'R and putting out an album. I think he signed the papers, got involved, then regretted it, but at that point, he was committed.
I've thought for a while that's why everything was so half ass from top-to-bottom.
.............but the contract is old and he was only motivated to return to the top back when he was still young and looking to get back at slash. it was after the dust settled with the old band that you could see that comeback becoming less and less important to him. and in '08 we saw how little the album release meant to him.

So Axl told Marco Beltrami every single note to play in TiL? Axl wrote the harp solos, etc?
no, but they did what he told them to do and these people are not hired guns.
they are contracted musicians. they do not, then, get songwriting credits.
good question though

#1006 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who REALLY wrote Chinese Democracy » 865 weeks ago
good point but whoever wrote the riff he chooses should get a writing credit
#1007 Re: Guns N' Roses » Who REALLY wrote Chinese Democracy » 865 weeks ago
I gotta say i agree with -D- here also
In the booklets they are giving credit to fewer people than in the ascap
booklet = anyone that wrote the inital base for the song or idea of the song first
ascap = anyone that contributed by writing any additional pieces like drums and solos
Axl doesn't play guitar or base and is in a hard rock band
he's not gonna write and record every note in every song by himself
This isn't a slam on him and i'm surprised that it is a surprise to anyone
another thing to consider is that lyrics with a melody and a couple chords on an acoustic guitar or piano is considered a written song. lyrics, alone, have been tantamount to proving ownership of a song in many court cases. any musician, on the other hand, can claim ownership of thier own creation even if it is within a song that they didn't solely write.
ascap has to legally consider every one that wrote a note.

as far as singing along with the leaks..........
i don't think axl has a problem with '"downloading motherfuckers" either
but
also consider the possibility that, unless you were singing along at the first concert to unveil that particular leak, he may have just though you heard them played live at another show
and that is the only thing that stopped him from jumping into the crowd and beating the piss out of you
