Oh snap. Guns N' Roses "Management" is going to flip and attempt to get Axl one ASAP.
I could see that happening. 
Looks like Axl has another reason to release CD2 and do more interviews!

It makes sense!

The 1999 sound wasn't heard in 2008. You heard 1999, 2002, 2004, 2006 all balled up together
I think the guitar and effects work was better on the 1999 version of IRS, it just needed that buckethead solo.
Sums up the mixes and takes in a nutshell. IRS and TWAT were great in the '99 versions; but just needed to be cleaned up a little in the mix and of course Mr. 
He added great guitar work to them and if they were released back in 2003 as singles, it would worked great in the band's favor. He gave the songs more of an edge and feeling to them. The 99' version of Catcher with Brian and the production at the time was perfect from what me and other forum members have posted already.

Axl could easily do this right now. Waiting until 2013 is a fucking joke. Unless Axl is so flat broke that Uni will not fund any future new GN'R material, I dunno. Axl could drop all of this within the year. There is PLENTY of time.
I've been a big supporter for a long time that Axl needs to pull his absolute best material from the vault, re-work it with the current band, while also working up all new original songs and release it as a new GN'R album.
He needs to take the leftovers and demos (like you said) and just drop it as a massive box set chronicaling the "lost years" and just drop that stuff, untouched with Robin & Bucket's original work. Whatever songs that made the new GN'R album, need to be released in their demo form on the box set, with hand-written liner notes from Axl.
From that point Axl could tour that for another 3-4 years, while starting completely fresh with the band he's got now and he could completely forget that period.
I know some people thing "A good song is a good song, no matter when it's released", but the new GN'R did not have a timeless enough sound that they can just crack open the vault in 2012, thinking sounds and effects that were popular for 15 minutes in 1999 are still gonna sound "good and fresh".
That's why the new reworked/original album + the box set is his best option.
Agreed! 
The reason why I stated 2013 in my earlier post was due to management and all that crap.

Izzy just didn't dig the scene. He's probably much more comfortable to doing his deal with Axl.
And Izzy was supposed to play with GN'R in Miami, or Orlando BEFORE the HOF, but couldn't make it.
This mother fucking post all the way to the mother fucking top of the mountain -- AGREED.
I cannot get the Slash blow hards that just do not get this.
Izzy was not purposely chosen to "put a pacifier on the mouths of the old band blow hards".
So i'm gonna bold the rest of this...
AXL NEVER WANTED TO LOSE IZZY TO BEGIN WITH!!!
Axl tried all the way up through 2001 (confirmed by Izzy in an interview) to bring him back into Guns N' Roses. He just could not find a replacement. Richard Fortus was actually brought in as the SECOND LEAD GUITARIST. Paul Huge was never intended to stay on full time -- ever.
So who does that leave?
By 2006 Izzy became a recurring special guest band member in GN'R.
Axl confirmed Izzy was supposed to open the 2011 North American tour with Guns, and for undisclosed reasons didn't make it.
BEFORE THE ROCK N' ROLL HALL OF FAME
But that's okay, keep believing this was Izzy spitting in the face of the fans across the world who were all sitting with baited breath waiting to see that one 1993 German show version of GN'R with Myles Kennedy on lead.
Based on the history of GN'R over the past 10 years, and the information we have, Axl had always wanted Izzy back in GN'R. Izzy doesn't want to be back in GN'R, or ANY band full-time. Even Slash couldn't lock him down for VR.
Izzy has stayed with his ROOTS and the band that made him a star, because he's back on good terms with Axl, and the GN'R gig pays good. So Izzy does a few shows here and there, and possibly (for all we know) is a FULL TIME studio band member. WE DON'T KNOW.
But what we do know is, this is NOT Izzy spitting on fans. This is NOT Izzy spitting on Slash.
There's alot of revisionist history going on right now, and people are forgetting that Izzy has been Axl's "Designated Hitter" for years because IZZY doesn't want to play in the field anymore. Knees are too beat up.
Nothing has changed. I do not get all of the sore assholes needing ice among the Slash hardcores.
Why was Izzy mother fucking cool in 2006, now he's a piece of shit for fulfilling the same role that Axl had him locked down for before they were ever even nominated for the Rock Hall?
Finally this post clears things up for people!
#2917 Re: Guns N' Roses » Remember when... » 752 weeks ago
I agree with this whole statement, Axlin. Axl could strike gold with releasing rock tracks with DJ's writing and recording skills. He needs to take it sometime this year or by 2013. Otherwise, release the vault catalog, demos, bonus tracks, whatever that is left and put the Guns name on it.
#2918 Re: Guns N' Roses » London, May 31 (14 Years and Dead Flowers w/ Izzy!) » 752 weeks ago
It all boils down to those reasons. They are long time friends even though they had to distance themselves from each other from time to time or for a number of years. The differences in music direction and the craziness of the touring caused it. Eventually they could find some common ground and work things out when starting getting a little more mature. I think they realized that no matter what happens, that long term friendship can eventually turn its self around for the better despite their egos especially Axl's.

Excellent dude! Hope you have a great birthday this upcoming week! Party hard! I don't know how any of those records can top that Roger Waters autograph in my opinion.

Well Del Toro had been working on getting the script and some of the set and costume department pieces set up before he jumped ship and the studio gave the work back to Jackson. It would been a pleasure to see more of Del Toro's visual input with Jackson at the helm of everything else.
