If Axl hit the road playing nothing but CD and announced that was what he would be doing, it would be the shortest and least successful tour in music history.  500 outspoken internet people want to hear new music, millions of other people want to hear AFD and UYI.  That's the reality of the situation.

I agree and to my mind there's nothing wrong with that. People who go see Ac/Dc will enjoy Black Ice, but everyone wants them to play "Back in Black" or some of the other old favourites at some point in the set. Likewise if you go see motley you want a bit of "Dr Feelgood", mixed in with "saints of La" Metallica no doubt get endless calls for 'Enter Sandman' and 'Master of Puppets' - along with the death magnetic tracks.

UYI and AFD are the records that made GNR famous....so it's only natural for bulk of the audience to want to hear the songs they know and love. If axl refused to ever play jungle again, the audiences would be sad, they love the song.

There are hardcores like some of us here who adore the new album, and would love for a new setlist to be very heavy in tracks from it, but realisticly most of the audience will expect a sizable portion of the classics to go with it.

I'd like a bit of both myself, some of the old favourites, and some of the new tracks that i've grown to love and that showcase the new band well.

Yeah I think that's Axl's house. You see it in the Estranged video and well it looks like that.

Interesting. The only thing is, didn't Axl confirm that "Seven" & "Thyme" were fake titles.

"If" was probably a shortened title for "If The World". The glaring omission there, is having Sorry as a closer, when Prostitute is a MUCH better closer.

Who says Prostitute was finished/written then?

Prostitute has at least been finished in a demo form, for years, probably dating back to 2001 at least. The song was being worked on that far back, and Axl was doing Prostitute's piano as an instrumental intro to November Rain on the 2002 shows.

It didn't take him 6 years to finish it. It's been in the can for a long time. It's just another one that he's tweaked to death.

The only tie in to that artwork you showed, is either A) He wasn't happy on the final mix then, B) the artwork lends credibility to the theory of multiple albums and the tracklist was never set, Axl simply pooled together a bunch of different songs at any given time that'd be the "1st album", or C) the artwork is fake.
