I MAY have had too many beers last night!!!!!

the infamous 3 songs is just complete bullshit from Gnr fan boards.....Bob Ezrin hasn't been relevant since  The Wall...another indusrtry insider magician...none of these alleged gurus can predict what the actual public wants...NONE. It's all a guessing game. I wish I had a Roger Waters quote to back this up but he has a classic in the same vein. An artist does what they do and when they throw it out there, some sticks and some doesn't. Such is life....

Where is our boy James Lofton, how did Soundgarden's big comeback turnout with the public? Yep, nobody really cared except the hard cores. How many records did it sell? How many concert tickets did they sell? Minimal at best. Axl on his own did better numbers than their big "reunion". The Gnr thing needs to be put in perspective all the way around from hardcores to newbies. The brand is a legacy act and will NEVER approach what it was...reunion or no reunion. All we got right now is the hope that Ax will decide to give us the rest of the Chinese Sessions. Period.

I think if it was actually "rejected", it would have been back around 2000 after OMG kinda did nothing on the radio. I am thinking by 02 it was good to go but Axl just got cold feet.

most of the people say there was 32-36 A-list finished songs...that is what shook down out of all the "ideas". This is consistent from Axl to Tommy to Bumble to Brain to Beaven right there in a recent interview to alot of others. Tommy specifically said there were 22 other songs done that didn't make it on to Chinese. Why is that hard to wrap your head around? The Chinese Democracy sessions boiled down to about 2 and a half albums of recorded material. Let's call it 2 albums and a few b-sides.
