Haha..true! I still want to hear it though in some shape or form for the humor and randomness of it all.

If The World and Scraped are the type of songs I'd like to see GN'R do more. But what would really rock would be a "Oh My God" type album. Love that heavy industrial sound. Axl's voice is perfect for it.
Same here! I still believe that was the original intention to have all the songs except for "This I Love" to have that particular style.

Some things:
I watched a 2006 show last night for the first time in forever and it blew both of these shows away. I forgot how fucking on Axl was back then. The weak link was Ron, but man has he really melded in with the new band. Robin was killer. Bucket being there would have made this an incredible band. Not even joking with how pissed that makes me. And he needs to get back with Baz's vocal coach.
I listened to CD for the first time in forever... The Blues Andy Wallace mix destroys that Street Of Dreams bullshit. If The World CD version eats the demo/Andy Wallace version and shits it out. So much better. And I'm coming to terms with the title track sounding better on the album than the demos. It just feels so much fuller and the mix is fantastic.
And I never saw this picture before:

Axl should go back to that look, go with the short hair and lose the trucker 'stache.
Do you know when the picture was taken? Reminds me of mid '94 during the Yesterdays video shoot where he had a short cut or that '98 mug shot leak.
Hell..I was listening to most of CD on my ipod on the car trip home from family vacation. Still love the album dearly just my ipod is being a piece of shit cause I wanted to upload some of the different versions of particular versions mainly TWAT (my problem is the vocal choir at the beginning and very end could of been cut out and just Paul Tobias's piano piece should of started it off and finished with Axl's final vocal notes and Bucket's outro sollo; but I still enjoy it overall. Helps make CD the masterpiece it is. Another Robin and Bucket solo showcase!) Thank God for my hard drive with all the CD and other Guns stuff on it. I actually liked the final studio version of SoD even Catcher I don't mind the changes besides the nixing of the great Dr. Brian May's guitar run which was completely fucking stupid. I do go back to other tracks on the album though. I completely agree on If. Love the production on it. The groove of it and that should of been an official Bond theme. It's a better Bond theme then some of the songs that have been used before besides Skyfall of course. With the title track, I love the mix of it as well. Axl finally got that damn Nirvana drum sound he wanted. Robin and Bucket's solos are fucking sweet. The lyrics and sound effects are angry and dark which gives it the right GNR sound.

Matt is such a douche.
Somethings haven't changed.

Apex-Twin - didn't see any links to an article, assuming you wrote it. Nice work!
The period of 1994-1998 is the most fascinating period of Guns to me. You have the whole Huge incident, sessions with Zakk Fucking Wylde (leaks of which I would gladly take over any additional ChiDem tracks), and sessions that were essentially the combo of new/old guns with Axl/Duff/Matt/Robin/Paul. Just this big black hole where I'm sure there were some unbelievable or at the very least interesting things that were recorded that never materialized.
Still waiting to hear that recording of Shaq rapping along with Paul, Tommy, and Dizzy's playing from the so called "vault".

Hell yeah! She even kicked ass during that Nirvana Rock Hall performance. Love her!
#517 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tokyo '92 vs Vegas '14 » 642 weeks ago
Yeah, 2006 the band was great, and Axl looked and sounded killer. I still rate the Rock Am Ring gig as one of the best of the new era!
I can agree with that statement!
#518 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tokyo '92 vs Vegas '14 » 642 weeks ago
I love Frank's playing style. I agree he is the best drummer GNR have had in any incarnation. I hope he gets to do all the drum tracks and fills on a new album in the future. He's got the right rhythm and feel to the Appetite, UYI, covers, and CD material. ..And I really like Brain too especially some of his moments on CD, Rio 2001, and some of the 2006 shows he is quite the force.
Both Duff and Tommy kick so much ass; but I got to give a little more edge to Duff. Slash beats DJ that's no question even on Slash's bad nights in the past. Still like DJ for the most part; but I could call him the weak link in the band in some ways. Bucket and Ron though...hmm...Those guys have some tough chops.
Richard blows Gilby out of the water with this shredding and balance!
Axl is Axl...I suppose.
#519 Re: Guns N' Roses » Impressed with Ashba » 643 weeks ago
Like my pal Lomax, I like both of them as guitar players.
#520 Re: Guns N' Roses » Didn't see this posted, so what the hell. Dizzy says soon is the word » 643 weeks ago
I really don't think anybody in the band has a clue on when it's going to be done and put out in stores. Just like Chinese. It's up to Axl and him striking a deal while trying to get the label to budge.
