Actually I think there's a very good chance the band will have contributing backup vocals on the final tracks.
Tommy & Dizzy are right there behind Axl on CD. And Tommy himself has a great voice, i'd love to hear a GN'R track with just him on vocals. He kind of sounds like a cross between Izzy & Duff.

W. Axl Rose = Trent Reznor
You do the math. These guys are hired Guns, bottom line. I was blown away with how open Chris Pittman & Brain have been in recent interviews, but even with Pittman, he was being led into the answers of question. Nothing earth shattering was revealed, and he also (like Bumble) didn't know what finally made the album.
It's a damn shame. TONS of people hear Eddie's show, nationwide, this would be the perfect time to talk CD and let the nation know - "i'm GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Bumblefoot"... but instead it was the same old same old.
And I don't blame Bumble. I truely believe he has no clue what's going on.
Only Axl does, and like always REFUSES to do press. I really hope that 23-page liner book will really be the "tell all" we're hoping for.

No Neemo is right. If I remember 2006 correctly, Canadian dates started popping up, then that Nashville date popped up, and then suddenly the announcement of all dates came out with the Florida dates first.
And of course that Nashville date got cancelled, Jacksonville pushed up and San Juan pushed back, eventually...

I think Axl himself said that only American fans seems to have a huge hangup on the old band.
Honestly I think alot of that does tend to run in line with the fact Axl was god to the rest of the world in GNR's heyday. He was their Mick Jagger. So as long as he's there, they don't care.
And I tend to agree, but the majority of Americans wouldn't.

HUH?
Those are some odd ass dates/venues.
If I remember correctly they played Hunington in 2006 (great setlist), but there was only like 3,000 people there in a 7-8,000 seat venue.
I figured if GN'R tour, they'll do shows in major U.S. cities, then move on the South America.

I was wondering why 98 Rock were being so anti-GN'R.
Their program director doesn't believe people want it. Hmm...
Best part of the interview...

They're playing CD right now... fuck yeah!
This is just so surreal.
DJ says CD was #2 behind AC/DC's "Rock and Roll Train" for the week I believe (on their station).
#16968 Re: Guns N' Roses » Radio Reacts To Guns N' Roses Single » 941 weeks ago
Safe to say CD will go #1.
As for Maddy-Rio III, that Buckethead solo does not 'make the performance'. The band has to be firing on all cylinders imo to make a good performance. Axl's voice was shit, making the whole thing die. I can remember quite a few performances of Estranged where Axl's voice was great, and Slash fucked up the solos, and it took away.
Doesn't mean I call it a great performance 'cause Axl was "on".
There are just better performances of that song imo, Madagascar that is. Where Bucket & Axl both were kicking ass.

Negotiations, good ones are an art.
When Geffen started handing Axl advances with no penalties for non-delivery, they let him know they were HIS bitch.
From that point on, Axl knew and/or knows he calls all the shots and all negotiations. All he's got to do is threaten to walk, and they'll give him ANYTHING he wants.
The time for Geffen to have played hardball would've been from the very beginning. They should've never given him anymore than the absolute basic amount of budget that he needed to finish the album. If he didn't finish it, then take it to court. But "buying loyalty" will get you nothing but a higher price the next time you have to buy it, which is the exact game Axl played with them.
#16970 Re: Guns N' Roses » Radio Reacts To Guns N' Roses Single » 941 weeks ago
Agreed DCK.
I've let everyone kind of say their own thing, but I have yet to hear the 'wowness' of Madagascar at Rio III.
Seems to me the only reason people cream over it is because Axl played guitar. Even though these are the 'higher' quality boots, i'd take Albany 2002, Columbus 2002, MSG 2002, Boston 2002, Pittsburgh 2002, and Inland Invasion 2006 over Rio III any day of the week.
