While I understand Kickstarter can be beneficial, Alot of artists and content creators that already have a substantial or above average income from their projects abuse the site network's system like crazy. I remember I fund an album from a great musician and while the album turned out awesome, the after math of the kickstarter itself was pretty negative. She grew a big ego and started abusing the term crowd sourcing even though she was already on a major label. Doing that VIP shit for concerts and not paying backing musicians that were supposed to support her and her band's tour. Like Axl, I went to this show and she still showed up an hour and a half late for her performance. Most of her backing musicians played solo sets.

Anyway....

I am seeing Hollywood directors and producers using the site and it makes me sick. NOT EVERYONE NEEDS TO USE KICKSTARTER. They have the money!

There are a few kickstarters I funded that I'm still waiting on to be finished. Such as the Superman Lives doc and a few other things. The guy who is producing is at least updating progress and he talks about it on the AMC movie talk show which is pretty interesting to watch.

I was looking at some of packages for Ron and the boys' kickstarter and the rewards just don't seem worth the hassle. Wish them luck with getting some money. Yeah..I'm wondering how much he and some of the band members are making in GNR nowadays. Should be pretty good salary to put up with no new recordings as of late.

That's awesome to hear. Love both those songs. Maybe Dead Horse and Oh My God could be in the picture?

Great interview. Seemed to be in great, humble spirits. Looking towards something I suppose.  At least he mentioned new music and interested in working with older material and perhaps new demos. Another full U.S. tour please. So I can see them goddammit!

I like Sorry. Not my favorite song on the album; but still good. The lyrics feel like Axl in a moment of doubt about the past and the current situation probably with the Guns breakup, pushes towards a reunion, and moving forward with CD. Baz's backing vocals are a nice touch too.
