No mention that the music videos for these songs are supposed to appear next month.Seems that was a mistranslation of the original announcement, according to what I read on Mygnr. No music videos coming.
lol that's that then. I suspect Nothing is the last song they will ever release. Slash and Duff comments in interviews over the next 2 years will probably sound like the stuff they said in 94/96 and it will slowly fizzle out.
Unrelated but Slash, Duff, Chad Smith, Post Malone & Andrew Watt are supposed to be performing an Ozzy tribute at The Grammys on Sunday. Don't expect Axl perhaps he is in hiding again or something

Another interview with him https://ultimateclassicrock.com/guns-n- … -finished/
He talks a little more about the process of working on the songs. Also does the well worn high wire act of trying to explain the process of starting a new album without trying to say the wrong thing and piss off the boss.
No mention that the music videos for these songs are supposed to appear next month.

So that's confirmation there are no more songs with vocals, or at least that they want to release.
Funny how the "new album" thing is something they have been planning for years but not a single step taken towards making that album. Does Axl plan to do it at 80 years old?
I think it pretty much confirms that we are never getting any more of the reworked CD era stuff released yeah. If they repackage the released stuff as an EP or whatever maybe Monsters gets thrown on there maybe not.
The idea there will be a new album of new material is completely laughable and I doubt even Slash believes that (though can't say it obviously).

Only a quick interview but a fair bit of info compared to others about the reworked songs so thought i'd give it its own thread.
Also mentions he 'thinks' the plan is to take all the reworked songs and release them 'as a package'. & says next music will be all original
As far as a new album goes I'll believe it when I hear it (which I don't expect to)

Not that DJ is a 'big name' but before he was in GN'R he had done writing for Motley, wouldn't surprise me if he was shopping around songs to them before he joined. I did hear a rumour years ago that Joe leste from Bang Tango and Beautiful Creatures (Ashbas old band) may have sent songs to them but never heard anymore about it. 'Big names' however makes me think maybe Desmond Child
Pitman seems to be referring to the 1998-2001 period (when the bulk of the material was written).
The only possibility that comes to mind (aside from Desmond Child type songwriters) is that maybe he was referring to Izzy's songs (the ones from the 90s that Axl asked and got back around 2000). But then why would Pitman avoid mentioning Izzy and be so secretive about it?
My money would be on Marti Frederiksen, Glen Ballard and Diane Warren. They wrote for Aerosmith on Nine Lives and Just Push Play which line up time wise with work on CD. Warren wrote that awful I Don't Want to Miss a Thing in 1998. If the Label or somebody was giving them lists of writers names then those would have been on it I think as they had pretty big success writing for 'classic rock' acts in an era that was mostly filled with Nu Metal/ New Punk stuff. In that sense from a labels perspective they would be the logical choice/suggestion. & if it was the song writers reaching out and not the label then GN'R seems the logical choice after working with Aerosmith.
If it was Izzy I think Pitman would say so.
A long shot guess would be Butch Walker who wrote for Rivers Cuomo and Weezer in that era, I only mention it as around 2003 there were rumours Axl was meant to guest on a Weezer song, which people put down to a silly rumour and is largely forgotten now.

I will get around to reading this in March, can I ask are the leaks mentioned at all?
They are, but not really any new information about any of them
Thanks.

I'm going to wait until the physical version is released, but is there any chance Tobias has been interviewed for this? I assume off the record if so.
Pitman is interviewed and 2-3 other NuGnR members are talking anonymously (I don't think Paul Tobias is one of them).
I would assume Stinson and Fink, Brain probably still had one foot in the camp when this book was being written, he might not anymore because of Isaac but you would probably know better than I. Besides he may think speaking either on the record or off could put Mellissa in an difficult position. Any song names mentioned?
