I agree that TWAT is their last chance, which is the best song on the album. Although it'd be interesting to read Axl saying "yeah, those two guys, BH and Finck did great solos an the song, so it proves that GN'R can function without Slash"
Interviewer who is not Del James: "Yeah, those two guys... can't wait to see them live"
Axl: "You can wait, but they are out. By their own decisions. But it helps us improving the band even better. Imagine if we replaced Slash so easily in 12 years than how magnificent GN'R will be with the BH and Finck replacements."
I: "can't wait to hear the next album, man"
A: "Alright, later. We are focusing on the Better video right now. I think we can cut 5 minutes of 2006 live footage in...well, if everything is going well, then people will see new video this year"

I don't think that having two drummers would be that awful. Nick Cve & The Bad Seeds had 2 drummers on their last tour (in fact they had three, since multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey played drums on a few songs). Jim Sclavunos played the heavier songs and Thomas Wylder played the other stuff. Sometimes both of them were on stage. They worked pretty good.
Bad Seeds even had the two drummers for their double album, Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus - Jim played on the first, Thomas on the second disc.
To tell the truth I always thought that Brain played the new and Frank the old stuff better. So it's not a bad idea, although they'll have like 20 people in the 'GN'R family'.

I think that Robin got bored of the waiting game, had enough and since he didn't get a 100% promise for the 2008 release of the album, he joined NIN. That's it.
Anyway, as much as I'm critical to Axl, no need to call him King Dick etc.

Yeah, and it only proves that it took years for them to write and record the songs. I know that some of the tinkering was quite unnecessary, but most of the material took years to get finished, cause it wasn't ready. Hiring BH was a quality step, I agree, although even he wasn't enough to convince Axl that the album is ready. As I see it, even the 'finished' material wasn't ready: somewhere overworked and overpoduced, somewhere unfinished that the added layers tried to hide. Anyway, I think we both agree that a talented line-up can write and record a great album in a year and tinkering nad cut-and-paste kills even the good ideas.

Most of the songs were written before BH came in: CD, CITR, SOD, Prostitute, TWAT, IRS. This I Love in even older. These originate in the 1992-1999 time frame. In the 2000-2004 era they wrote Shackler, Sorry, Scraped, maybe Madagascar and If The World. I don't know when Finck came up with the Better idea or Tommy with Rhiad. Anyway, it's not like this album took only one year and all the other years went by Axl's thinking of Slash.
