I think something that has gone somewhat undermentioned alot recently in regards to the delays & inactivity is the death of his mother. IIRC she died in 1996. Right around the time a GnR album would be expecting to begin, or released. It's been noted his childhood was one in an abusive household due to his stepdad, and I would guess his mother was some sort of safety net for him. On some level, as badass and dangerous as he became, I think deep down he always had a love for her, and possibly was proud to have made something of himself for her.

Now, without her,he doesn't feel any safety net to look to anymore, because she has passed away. It could be why he has had woman issues, and (supposedly) misses Stephanie Seymour so much. She was everything, his ideal woman (mother) and she left/rejected him.

Just a thought?!

That is. Like really, are these broads dumb enough to think 13 year olds are really dwarfs?? And if they were did they fear threatened by a discrimination lawsuit filed by a john??

Sounds to me like the girls did the acts for the $$, but now are trying to CYA.

I never bought it either, mostly because I have AFD, Lies & UYI I & II (UYI on casette still). but also I disagree alot with the tracklisting too. The only songs I feel are worthy are WTTJ, SCOM, PC, Patience, Civil War, & Yesterdays.  NR is good, I'm not much of a fan. Too polished, plus I've heard it enough.

I really don't see this album selling much at all?! The younger people you speak off just download songs anyway. Most people 25 & up either have it, or have heard GnR enough they don't need to buy GH, or just bought it 5 years ago. We'll see, but with cd sales recently I'd be shocked if it hit 100,000 after it's first few weeks.
