The bigger problem is that they felt (probably in the last minute) that they needed some intro and didn't create one, but used a 'ready' loop.That was my thought months ago when this first emerged, but this guy Ulrich is a bit of an electronic whizz, could be he created them from scratch because his versions are part of a much larger melody.
Yeah, I meant that probably Ulrich created it, but since he's not that known, part of his song got used as a loop in a database people can buy. It's possible that the people who created the database simply stole his music and he didn't know about it - but Pitman bought it, used it and possibly secured right for using that sample. But Ulruch only knows about the song, or GN'R is easier to milk than a small pirate company. Or Ulrich sold it as a loop, but GN'R forgot to do the legal work and Ulrich sees it as a good opportunity to get money. Or Pitman really simply stole it. Or something else.

I think they (or Pitman) didn't necesserly 'stole' it. Some unknown, but good enough synth parts appear in various 'loops and samples' databases. I hope I worded it right.
The bigger problem is that they felt (probably in the last minute) that they needed some intro and didn't create one, but used a 'ready' loop. This is one of my main problems with the album. Axl wanted to be very contemporary, relevant and artistic, but sat on the material for decades without completing it, then in the big hurry stolen parts, old weak vocals, unfinished songs, Ooohs & NaNaNas and amateurish cut and paste job appeared on the final product. Not to mention how relevant it was when finally got released. Good ol' Axl, you tried so hard to be artistic, that I smell the sweat all over the record.

I didn't hate Bucket cause he was talented. GN'R worthy player. (Or to be correct: Nu-GN'R wasn't BH worthy.) I don't hate BBF: he can play (although he isn't unique) and very fan-friendly. I don't hate Robin, although I think he's not a GN'R-caliber guitarist. I don't hate Fortus - but hey, the "I don't understand any need to hate their replacemtns, all of who are equally talented and bringing something of value to the band" is not true at all. Fortus is 40-something and I can't recall a song he wrote or a song where he added anything worthy. He plays other people's stuff with huge jumps. That's not enough to say he's in the same league with Slash. He's in the same band (to be correct: he's in the band that shares the same name). That's it. Just because Axl Rose hired his 492378th player, I don't need be a fan of the guy. To tell the truth I'm not a fan of any guy in the current line-up (except Axl). They mean nothing to me. (Before anyone asks: I'm no fan of Dave Kushner or Matt Sorum either.)

Oh, another one of these versus discussions...
LONG TIME NO SEE! Or not.
No way I'd participate in a 'Fortus vs. Slash dicsussion'. C'mon, it'd be insane. A nobody vs. a legend. What's next, a Hookers N' Blow backup-singer against Axl Rose?

Fortus was actually one of the best performers I've ever seen and I mean EVER,he really rocked out and pissed all over Slash's "standing still with fag and hat" schtick...:cool:
I'm afraid you have never seen Slash live. Not even a single video on youtube. BTW as I heard Usain Bolt runs faster than Fortus, so Axl really should sign him as the 457th guitarist.

Yes, he mentioned it even when Libertad came out.

Suicide Girls was the opening band for Nu-GN'R in 2006. It's much worse than a one-off guest appearance on a song or two. So stop bitching about (only) Slash and please forget the 'mysterious Axl' bluff.

You tried to be sarcastic, but unfortunately this band is a clusterfuck, so your post is absolutely correct.

I tend to believe that CD is BB's best selling product, since it was a BB exclusive and a long-awaited album by a huge brand. My only problem is that they don't list the numbers, just the rankings.
