Re: The next GNR album: Current known state of songs
polluxlm wrote:When Axl debuted his new band in 2001 he played 6 new songs. Except for Oh My God all of them are on the "Exhibit B" page. Surely most of those songs would come from the A list. Vast majority of CD is on that list.
Curious questions would be why songs like IRS, Hard Skool, The General and Oklahoma are not on the list.
My guess is this is linked to some sort of bill that came due, maybe for a recording studio, engineer, or musician that wants compensation for specific songs they worked on.
It was from Zutaut's locker and was due to his case about his dismissal after he left the band. Its Exhibit B because it's an exhibit of evidence for a court case.
There's also a letter confirming Zutaut's dismissal that leaked at the same time.
So those song titles are legit.

So Goldstein said Zoot was brought in June 2001 and he was sacked in December that same year. So that means Dragon and All I Ever Wanted originated 2001 or before. Wonder if they were on the locker leak discs under other names or just completely unheard stuff.

Re: The next GNR album: Current known state of songs
"There's been some concern. That if we play five or six new songs, then there can't that many more on the album. Au contraire, mon frére. We're just playing the songs we're not considering putting out as singles or anything. So, you'll get 18 songs, and about 10 extra tracks." (Axl, Docklands, 08/26/02)
What if I told you we were getting the "extra tracks" right now?

Fast forward 6 years later the lead single is Chinese Democracy.

Probably my favorite CD quote.
His ego/megalomania was off the charts back then.
So easy to talk the talk...
Which show was it(is it that one?) where after bitching about everything he says something like "Yeah, Yeah, we don't have an album out yet".
I'd love to see the alternate timeline where his fantasy above becomes reality...and yes it's hilarious that every song he pretends is not a big gun all make the cut.

Re: The next GNR album: Current known state of songs
I think time changes perspective.
Like in 1987 when Axl has his full powers, and when the band is working on songs like YCBM. Then a song like "Shadow of your love" isn't that good.
Revisit life 35 years later and Axl can still go but he struggles to achieve his former peaks.
Suddenly a song like Shadow is more valuable as the effortless vocals in the traditional sound have become rare.
Re: The next GNR album: Current known state of songs
I wouldn't be surprised if Axl is waiting until 2025 when he can cash out for a big payday.
But if Chinese demos are a sunk cost, just flood it all out right now, even if it's just every iteration of the 14-song album.
Doubt it happens, but I can dream.

Re: The next GNR album: Current known state of songs
the "remix vocals" of TIL make me wish they would do something with Slash and that vocal line. It also makes me wonder how many other alternative take vocals are badass.
