Maybe his editor doesn't like repetitive ideas? Dunno.

I personally think - more like Shackler.
What I mean is, I think alot of our 'rockers' are gonna be just like Shackler, Oh My God, Riyadh, CD... industrial-tinged rockers, some of which are heavier on the industrial end. Our ballads will be more like classic-GN'R. Songs like If The World, TWAT, The Blues, and even Madagascar (minus the hip hop drums) sounds like straight off Illusion II.
Only Better, Catcher, Song #2 seems to all be stand-alone songs with their own thing, Better being a modern rocker, Song #2 seemingly Moby-influenced, and Catcher beng Queen-influenced.
Of the rockers IRS seems the only throwback GN'R rocker, that doesn't have that NIN thing going on, and seems to be more in the family with Breakdown & Locomotive.
But after I heard Shackler, I don't think a finished Oh My God or Silkworms are dead AT ALL. I think finished versions are sitting in a studio just waiting to be dusted off for a future album or some kind of special release.
I think the music, ALL of the studio work (3-4 albums worth) will probably be 40% industrial rockers, 40% November Rain/Estranged-like ballads, 20% 'other'.

That's really nice. The dude seems like a cool guy, a fan, just anxiously awaiting like everyone.
He also knows his shit too (minus the VMA thing). Nice.

I agree. I just wish Axl understood that was what he was dealing with. If that were the case, we'd got the album by 1999/2000.

Of course Slash likes Obama... he's black.

Shackler is in my Top-5 new GN'R stuff. Love it.
hmmm

How can you know a song sucks 30 seconds into it?

I wouldn't be surprised if there are no Robin parts or at the very least no Robin solos on CD if it ever comes out. Same with BH - I wouldn't be surprised at all if all his solos are gone and possibly all of his work on songs he didn't have a part in writing.
Now see I doubt that on the Bucket part. The difference is Bucket and Robin aren't even comparable in ability, style, and writing. Bucket is FAR FAR more talented, so is Ron, and Axl knows that. They begged Bucket to return to the band in 2006, and his demand was 'release the album', which of course was not ready on Axl's end. Quite possibly the only guy that I know of, Slash included, that had the GN'R camp asking for his return. That right there shows you Bucket had a BIG hand in the writing and direction of the CD material. The first two tracks introduced to the public still have Bucket material on it.
Robin is a touring guitarist, like Richard Fortus, and although the jury is not out, I think their contributions to CD will be very minimal.
Robin's stuff gone = not surprised at all, and would be surprised if it was there in the first place
Bucket's stuff gone = shocked
It's been confirmed by Axl himself that Bucket is still on the album. I'm getting a feeling that Ron re-recorded more of Robin's stuff in the studio, than Bucket. But we'll see.
But to say that anywhere but GN'R-Evo would result in a ban.

They're both directly related to Axl being the craziest, laziest, most vindictive bitch in the world. I'm surprised he didn't find some no name super model & pay Victoria's Secret to make her famous as Stefanie Seemore.
If Axl would've left all of Bucket's music on the album, and had Ron not re-record anything or add anything to CD.... there would be an entire group of people going off and slagging Axl, because "why does he have a guitarist in the band that has nothing to do with CD?" "He didn't even record on the album" blah blah blah
Same for Frank.
Axl just can't win with some of you guys. You'll make it negative no matter what.
Somehow I doubt that. I think people are more worried about the album being released than making sure 2 people who had nothing to do with the writing of the album are on the album. I can't speak for anyone else, but I really couldn't care less about who is on the album at this point.
Believe it. These are the same fans that sit back and complain that 'Blues 2006' needs more guitar and go back to 'Blues 2002'... yet I can remember completely in 2002 people complaining The Blues would be oh so much better if it had more piano like November Rain.
There are certain fans that are unwinnable. Because they are negative nancy's. Hell if a fuckin' reunion of Axl, Slash & Duff were announced, they'd complain that Izzy & Steven weren't there.
#17369 Re: The Garden » Palin flunks mock debates » 945 weeks ago
So much for bi-partisan efforts eh? When a Republican crosses the line, it's proof that Obama appeals to all people and serves as evidence that the Republican party is broken. But when a Democrat crosses the line, he must be a turncoat mother fucker who must be out for some devious reason.
Spot on post, and totally true.
They disowned Zel Miller & Liberman when they become pro-Iraq and pro-Bush.
#17370 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Was Never Meant To Be Heard » 945 weeks ago
If we get something concrete and it's possible for me, I may just perform a stake out before release.
At least take a guitar and perform acoustic versions of If The World... maybe people will throw you a couple bucks now and then.
