i see it as the exact contrary. he wore those jerseys and the braids, because he felt like it. the same goes for the music... and the question why he kept the gnr name is not that easy to answer if you ask me. of course you can argue he did it for the cash, but considering all the shit he constantly gets for it, in my opinion he does it because he thinks it`s the righteous thing to do for him.
i also don`t think slash sold out. both, axl and slash are rock legends and they deserve to do whatever the fuck they want to. it`s the narrow-mindedness of certain fans to say slash sold out because he still wears his tophat and played with michael jackson (one of the most gifted artists to walk on this planet if you ask me by the way), or axl sold out because he wore jerseys and had braids ( something that he certainly didn`t benefit from financially or reputation-wise)

Microscopic hair splitting. An album that needs Ron to wank over a finished Riad or Fortus to strum an inaudible guitar is an album I consider finished. It's not like these were demos and the post 2002 lineup walked in and created an album to Axl's liking.
Are we to believe that if Ron, Frank, and Fortus do not contribute, Chinese Democracy is unfinished and we're still waiting for it in 2011?
Possibly. The problem is that it doesn't matter what you or I consider finished. It only matters what Axl considers finished and right and ready for release. He had to feel right with the album before it could come out, which is as it should be, frankly.
Ali
the real problem is, that axl had the final say in this project all these years.. we`re really beating a dead horse here. all these things were discussed for years and years. the record was finished, even mixed at least 5 years prior to its release. the 2006 "demos" are chinese democracy as it should have been released. it boggles my mind to listen to perfectly mixed "demos" like better and irs from 2006 compared to the amateurish cut and paste job we got as the finisehd product in 2008... anyways... i`m going to bed now, it`s too depressing to deal with all this bullshit

i was just listening to the 2006 demo of irs. it`s shame the album wasn`t released as it was back then..
#236 Re: Guns N' Roses » Alternate artwork (NEW scans inside!) » 759 weeks ago
there are quite a few bands i could name, that i`d call myself a fan of, but the only band i`m really following on the net is gnr. i also don`t know every band member by name, i`m focusing on the music.. with gnr, it`s just all the drama and stuff which really makes it interesting to go further than that. i think you can say what you want, but axl is really one of the last real rockstars left.

i just noticed the credits of shackler`s revenge, catcher in the rye and prostitute are different compared to the released version. they left out finck on shackler`s, stinson, finck and reed on catcher and tobias on prostitute...
#238 Re: Guns N' Roses » Alternate artwork (NEW scans inside!) » 760 weeks ago
thanks for the scans russ. i`m not going to think about what could have been, had this album been properly released. it`s a shame...
#239 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » SLASH: Next Solo Album To Arrive In March/April » 760 weeks ago
myles kennedy has become one of my all time favourite rock singers and musicians and starlight was in my opinion the best song slash came up with since gnr, so i wouldn`t be too shocked if this turns out to be a great record!
#240 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Tommy Stinson Thread » 762 weeks ago
And GNR: "We have dates in October, November, and then I'm still waiting to get the 411 on what will happen next year. I think the next thing is really going to have to be someone trying to organize a record and getting it together. I think there's a really good band there to do it. But, you know, the thought of it is more daunting than a 'Mats or a Soul Asylum record combined."
sounds interesting, but not too positive on a new album...
