So it didn't come from there.
It makes no sense for the band to leak it. There's no evidence the hoarders had access to it. That only leaves some physical disc available to be ripped somewhere.
It allegedly came from a recording studio and is about a year old mix
That could be, but both songs being registered on ASCAP recently hints at something beyond just a coincidence.
Admittedly none of this makes much sense so it's hard to predict what it means, if anything. Could merely be some fuck up in the GN'R camp.

Shotgun Blues lyrics are the most immature.
Get in the Ring is funny in an adolescent way.

Yeah that's the one.
#235 Re: The Sunset Strip » What Are You Listening To? » 131 weeks ago
I listened to it more this past year than in my entire life. I thought it deserved a second chance. I hated the whole thing back in the day...didn't have a single song in my collection.
.
Me too, but that's not saying much. Never really gave it a chance.
While not a great album it does have some great songs. At least 3 would go into any PF playlist. I'll take it.
I'm turning 40 in 4 days and I notice a distinct change in my musical taste. When I was 15-20, bands like Faith No More and Rage Against the Machine were the shit. I turned on a few of their albums yesterday and hated it. The melodies and the riffs are still the same, still good, but for some obscure reason I now hate it. The best reason I could think of was that a guy like Mike Patton, while very talented, is not really an artist the way I see it. His solo work for example is mostly nonsense. Doing weird shit just to do it, like he has no musical compass. Good band, but perhaps not a real band. And I want real bands. It's like they had me fooled for all these years.
With other bands like GN'R and Pink Floyd the opposite has happened. I like their stuff more now. Used to be I thought Move To The City was a mediocre song, now I love it. Same with much of Final Cut etc.

I loved your analysis. Do you have a link for that interview where "he said in an interview this was a conscious choice"?
I don't remember which it was. He said something along the lines of "I want to use a cleaner voice, but I do realize the fans love the rasp".
Maybe some of our GN'R historians can point the way.

Pink Floyd - Final Cut
Underrated effort. There are some really good songs on this album. Being a continuation of the Wall does hurt it. Roger should have built something around songs like "Not Now John" instead, but on the other hand then you lose "Your Possible Pasts" which is the best song on the album. Very Wall'ish though.

If only we could have a Michael Jackson reaction to the song.
#239 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 131 weeks ago
So far the only big gun that is not a major disappointment. Nothing can live up to hype, but this is a great song. On average I think the unreleased tracks are better than what we got on CD. What a disaster that album was.

From his reappearance in house of blues and rock in rio onwards he appeared with that vocal timbre, sharp, angry, powerful and with a lot of control, but it was different, what really happened?
80s/90s rasp ruined his voice. Just listen to this SCOM intro:
In 1986 his voice is much more delicate, a unique swirl in his throat.
Now take 1991 in comparison:

In 1999 Axl hadn't sung for years. Probably to try and heal the damage. 00s comes around he is no longer using the rasp like he used to. He said in an interview this was a conscious choice.
Already in 1988 his voice was damaged to the point he could no longer fully replicate his AFD sound. The You're Crazy version from the Late Show in 88 is the last time we hear the classic Axl voice. In 1991 he's struggling to sing, has to cancel shows. In 1992 he has regained control and he sounds better, but with much less texture to his rasp. Again in 1993 his voice is starting to thin out, and he pretty much only sings on Sympathy and the Springsteen Come Together until laying down vocals for Live Era and CD in 99. His vocals here are good, but live he doesn't use the rasp almost at all.
Likely AC/DC shattered much of what was left.
