You didn't get that from Steven Adler on some street corner, did you?

I didn't read anything bad or less promising. It's the same ole side steppin answers about CD.
It's real hard to believe he didn't sign a confidentiality agreement, but I'm not going to call the
guy a liar.
#11633 Re: Guns N' Roses » New Bumblefoot interview in Classic Rock » 952 weeks ago
I think its pretty stupid someone is giving him death threats. For what?
It doesn't really surprise me he doesn't know jack. The guys doesn't even know what tracks he's
going to play on. He made a whole bunch of solos and riffs and has no idea if any will be used.
Does it really shock you guys that these were his answers? He was actually more open than he
had to be... Especially for someone who signed a bullshit confidentiality agreement to be in a band.

Yeah, next thing you know James will be trying to tell us there's no such thing as Santa Clause
and that it was our dads eating the cookies and leaving presents all those years.
Yeah....

I might be wrong, but don't artists have to pay back all the money the record label shells out
to make an album?
This could be a big sticking point that they're tying to work out.
A 13 million dollar sticking point.

Go read the encyclopedia sized meaning of the song he wrote while promoting it for End of Days and saying how great it was.
Then after doing that, go check his excuse after the world hated it.
Why the hell would they need a "test the waters" track
I'm amazed you would even ask that after enduring the 96-08 period.
I remember the statement he released, I remember him saying it was basically about child
abuse and shit, but I don't remember him saying it was a great song. I agree the fact it wasn't
well received could and probably was the reason he said it wasn't finished and was released
without his permission, but Axl has always had deep meanings about his songs. Most of his
interviews showed he loved discussing them, too. So really, that statement wasn't that out of
the ordinary, considering it was the first non original line-up track released by GNR.
If this is a "test the waters" situation then its a pretty dumb and useless move.

Plus, this is being treated completely different than Oh My God.
What do prior leaks have to do with Shackler itself? Nothing. Its one song being used to promote a product. Thats what Oh My God was, and thats what this is.
The only way its being treated differently is Axl is giving zero info about the track, and I don't consider that much of a good thing. Hard to promote a song when the composer of it doesn't give two shits and the singer isn't interested in talking either.
Why the hell would they need a "test the waters" track, especially since almost all mainstreams rock mags and critics have reviewed the leaks already? They've already tested the waters. Shit, some of the songs have already charted on radio. That makes no sense to have a "test the waters" track when they already know what the reaction to the new GNR sound is going to be. I don't see smart people like Axl's management team blowing their load on a NEW GNR song, never heard before, knowing what the reaction to that would be, just to test the waters.
And wasn't Oh My God released without his permission?

No, leak all you want. We won't tell nobody shit. 
#11640 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR, Rock Band, the VMAs and 4 albums » 953 weeks ago
Good point. Fucking whoreders!
C'mon Russ. Shackler's Revenge kind of strikes me like GNR's version of a Zeppelin tune. Kind
of like Atlas Shrugged sounds like it could be off any LZ album.
And its definitely a title that will make people stop and go, "Huh?" Like Axl's hair in WTTJ.
