SI was just a mistake....As we talked about before James, all they needed was the original plan in 1990....Slash says it was suppose to be an ep of cover tunes...which would have been fine with me-that is a holdover, not a full album's worth. The Illusions didn't need Knockin or LALD anyway.

"An EP is probably the direction we're going to go as far as some of the covers are concerned. There are six covers: "Live and Let Die," by Wings, "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," by Dylan -- that new version [on the soundtrack for Days of Thunder] that went nowhere -- "Don't Care About You," by Fear, "Attitude," by the Misfits, "New Rose," by the Damned, and "Down on the Farm," by U.K. Subs. They're songs that we like -- it's as basic as that. Each of us has an individual favorite, and at the same time we share some. "New Rose" is something Duff wanted to do, I think. "Don't Care About You" is something I wanted. The Misfits song was Axl's idea, and "Heaven's Door" and "Live and Let Die" were songs Axl and I both thought about doing."

That is what was recorded during the UYI sessions. They added all the other crap when Gilby was in the band.:sick:

And how exactly do we know who is "current"? Of course, if you could only talk about what is going on with Gnr, this section would have less traffic than all the others.:cool:

more on the Geffen issue

The End Of Geffen Records?

Amidst a broader staffing dial-down at Universal Music Group, sources are now raising questions about the future of Geffen Records. The once-mighty label propelled groups like Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, and Sonic Youth, though its role within the larger Universal umbrella is allegedly being reanalyzed.

Layoffs at the unit are considered imminent, and likely by the end of the year. And at least one has already exited from the larger Interscope Geffen A&M unit.

After the reductions, one source within the organization pointed to a shutdown, while another suggested a slightly different fate. According to the source, the Geffen imprint would continue to be associated with certain artists and releases, but the real action would be happening elsewhere. The transition would preserve the brand equity tied to Geffen, but strip most of the underlying functionality away. "Geffen would be shuttered in the way that labels like that get shuttered," the source shared.

looks like Interscope will have people leaving as well. Geffen and Interscope seem to be going through some key changes.....not good.:ummm:

They are not a stadium band in the US...don't know what country you live in ...they are a typical arena rock act.
