Nice work, Shacklermyrye! Those little snippets sound more interesting than half the CD tracks. The lyrics (or the best guess thereof) sound like Axl describing a pit of depression. He should've gone there earlier.

Having said that, the only release I expect is posthumous. Much of the vault would have to be pried off the cold, dead hands of the frontman, nigh literally. Why so? His dark side is an insecure man-baby with a bad narcissistic streak. Only perfection (in his head) will do, and the music industry (Geffen/Uni) stopped coiling around him at around the year 2000. So, nobody there's pampering him and giving him the ungodly monies and attention as they used to in the UYI days. Of course, he always finds others to blame it on, instead of ever saying the buck stops with him.

Following this band is like watching a progressive disease. There's a glimmer of hope here and there, a false dawn. Then it all goes dark again. Did you know that TSI? and CD were both released on Nov 23rd, 15 years apart? No album this November and the band will set a new internal record in not releasing a record.
