Thanks, I forgot about that one. I won't go off topic, I'll just say that he was not prolific as others artists mentioned earlier

Ok thanks. Damn it, why do Guns always have to wait until the last minute before revealing the news? The fact that they didn’t notice the vinyl was quite outrageous; although I agree, Axl’s voice mix was really hard to digest.

Axl voice mix in TG worries me. I hope they fix It in the final version

From what I understand, the vinyl release was postponed specifically to fix Axl’s voice mix. Then you will see on December 8 what the final version will be. I still don’t quite understand if it will be released in digital format, but I hope so.

Yeah i was thinking the other day, GNR songs are mostly based in real life emotions and events.

AFD = Street life, falling in love with Erin, growing up a rebel, life in 1980s LA, tragic life of people they knew and them.

UFI = Drama of the shock of fame, relationship with the media, pressures of fame/being a rock god/breakup with Erin/ Falling for Steph, trouble with the neibours / issues with izzy/slash/steph, questioning if should sacrifice life to fame.

CD = Breakup with Steph, Breakdown of relations with Slash/Duff/Izzy, Legal problems, self doubt, Rejection of fame and pressure, attempting to grow as a person, analysis of self.

Occasionally he leaves this MO and does big picture issues - like NR being partially about self but also inspired by Del's work. Or Civil War being about wider issues. Or Shackler's being about Collunbine or Catcher's being about his responce to others love of the book or whatever. But in general the albums are about his personal struggles.

These days he has 10s if not 100s of millions of dollars, even if being famous sucks he's had 40 years to get used to it,  and love life issues have been well covered. It's possible that aside from the odd project song he feels strongly about, or melody that he wants to share that becomes an ear worm for him or something, but like it's just possible he said his piece.

That's my theory - the band was grounded in drama and chaos, but they won, they made their coin and beat the world - but when your music is based around your fight with the world it doesn't give you much organic to write about.

If they do make an album, I'd expect it to talk about politics or philopsphy or whatever he still cares deeply about, as I think the dramas of their real lives have been solved at this point.

Point is that if you think that there is some magic version of this song out there, you are going to be disappointed.
