I'm really starting to believe that the big guns (if they really exist) were saved for whatever comes next. It's a risky move though. Fans won't give you a second chance unless you bring it, so all the killer songs with killer hooks are going to have to come into play on whatever happens next.
The way CD was released, it was done to get it out of the way. I said that when it came out, I still believe it. The question is still, get it out of the way for what? Reunion? Probably not anytime soon (though you NEVER know in the world of GnR). More realistically, the album Axl really envisioned as his masterpiece.
I disagree. Maybe I'm wrong, but what I got from Axl's words was that CD was the album, these were the songs the record company agreed to release. I think the rest is less of a Street of Dreams/TWAT/Catcher-type ballad songs, but more likely some more experimental stuff, like Scraped or Silkworms. Even the Pitman comments make me think it.

Yes exactly. While I don't believe any of them, I have to admit Axl is sitting on the best prof that he is right. His rethorics are very good and when he says he can prove it, I'll take his word for it.
It's a well-known fact that those who have mental illness seem to be honest and sincere, 'cause they're so crazy that really believe everything that exists in their fantasy. They are honest when they are telling their stories, even a lie-detector (that's how it is called?) cannot show it's not the truth they're saying. Cause in their mind it is - but in the reality, well, not necessarily.

Very political answer. So, in one word, no.
#2294 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose/Dexter forum chat discussion thread » 934 weeks ago
I had problems understanding what he was saying, although the last sentence is the clearest for me. Slash wrote the core of Fall To Pieces when he was in GN'R (even Slash said it in one interview), but according to Axl, when he showed interest in that song, Slash lost his. Sounds bullshit to me.

I'm curious if anyone has info about who'll write the lyrics for Slash's solo album? The singers for each song? Some 'industry guys' like Desmond Child? Perla? 
We all know that Slash has written like 1 lyrics (Be The Ball) in his whole career, and co-written some, mostly on the first Snakepit disc, but I think his solo album is targeting a wider audience than the pinball players
So does anyone know somethin about this?

What's this - Duff no creative input? That guy is much a big part of the original GN'R as Axl, Slash and Izzy were.
Check out his solo album Beautiful Disease, or Loaded. That boy's got talent!
Duff's bass playing gave the backbone of GN'R's music. Nuff said.
Slash and Axl claim they only wanted to keep the band alive and all their intentions, all they done was for this. Bullshit. They were fighting with each other on how to lead the band. Izzy bailed when shit came. Only Duff wanted to keep Guns N' Roses alive, trying to calm down the parties, find a solution to make both happy and make music together. He didn't choose a side till Slash left and the band was still going nowhere.

I think he didn't want to because of all the legal crap that was going on through the years. Seems that he's gotten a vast majority of it cleaned up at this point.
As to believing one over the other, I think the truth is somewhere in the middle although I tend to side with the clean guy over the guys who were wasted out of their minds at the time (Slash/Duff). I don't believe Axl 100% but I'm much closer to believing his side of things than the other guys. Call me biased, but I have a tough time taking drug addicts and alcoholics more seriously than someone who's clean. I say this as a person who's never done a drug in my life and has only gotten drunk a handful of times my whole life.
I don't wanna be flamed as a 'hater', but it's hard to choose between addicts and a clean guy who had and has serious mental problems.

I think snakepit 1 is superior to VR. But it's all taste I guess.
Snakepit I is superior to everything else GN'R-realated since 1991. 
#2300 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose/Dexter forum chat discussion thread » 934 weeks ago
cuz in the discography section i put OMG in the list of songs that didnt appear on the album...that list is a complete list of songs we've heard or had been rumored over the years to have been recorded with the new band
wow almost half the songs listed are fake..not surprising...cool deal about the Izzy track
I think he didn't say that half of it was fake, just named some to be considered for future work. It doesn't mean the others (or some of them) didn't exist, just got canned...
