saying slash hasn't played it in 10 years is bull shit, chances are he has picked up his guitar sometime in the last decade and randomly played that song, every guitar player does it, its not like you forget something like that.

so its been a year and a day now since Axl said he was laying down final vocals and announced his tentative March release date.
What the hell happened?

The story just says he's a fan and he'd do it, not that they're considering him, or even touring to begin with
#14 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Next Chapter or the Grand Finale? » 912 weeks ago
If 2008 is silent, then we're obviously beginning another 4 year cycle. 2009 will be silent, 2010 we'll see some touring, 2011 some more, and then nothing again. Either that, or they'll be gone for good. I honestly think no one will care about CD in a few years.

GNR signed a record deal in 1987 for 7 albums plus tour support
so thats appetite, lies, uyi I, uyi II, TSI, Live Era, Gh. I have no idea when Axl renegotiated this contract, but it cant have been post '02.

I think Izzy was reffering to the down time, of nothing happened, not, like lofton assumed, a burnt out band.

You're calling me an idiot for having an opinion on something I experienced, and then felt it was worth a fucking smite??
Gimme a fucking break. If they were doing it to "get all the old songs out of the way", where's the other unreleased shit on Illusions?
You got me. I don't realize a damn thing about Illusions even though I saw them on the tour and bought the records the moment of release.
TSI a "long term plan"? Thats a fucking joke. Anyone here who experienced this can vouch for the fact TSI wasn't even supposed to exist. When the tracklists for UYI were revealed, half of TSI was on it. Only reason it didn't make the final cut is because it wouldn't fit. Just because you seen the tokyo DVD and Axl mentioning a "punk cover album" doesn't mean it was some grand vision.
No, it didn't have the same purpose as Lies. It was a throwaway album the band didn't care about. Other than Slash saying a few sentences to People Magazine in 93, it wasn't even promoted.
who wrote that and what magazine was it in?
The interview was with Mick Wall.
here here, i did not call you an idiot, i simply observed that what you deduced was slightly idiotic. The unreleased stuff from illusions? If it was recorded it obviously just didn't make the album. The songs that they had written between the start of their career and that time were released on UYI. Stuff they wrote since appetite, and before appetite because they didnt think it was right for that album.
I think you read it out of context
"The music had taken a back seat, there was nothing new coming from us. We didn't sit around and play accoustic guitars anymore. It was like, oh, time to go on - where's the singer? The singer walked off? Now what do we do?
I think he was reffering to the general lifestyle of that period, and during the tour. I'm sorry, but again, you came up with facts to support your own conclusions.

I know everyone has read that, or at least knows parts of it(the infamous "its not GNR" line), but even though he is stating what we already know regarding this, the line just really stands out and is even more frightening by how easy it seems to roll off his tongue....
"The music had taken a back seat, there was nothing new coming from us.
Amazing. He is basically talking about 91 as he is also talking about his last tour with them. Pretty obvious why tracks from the early years were having to be used for the grandiose Illusions project. There was nothing left in the tank.
Its just mind boggling to know that what was the greatest band on the planet at the time had no fucking ideas whatsoever. Zero creativity. The next three years we got a cover album and a cover song, and the remaining years with original members still intact produced nothing but a few instrumentals.
Wow, thats the most idiotic thing I've ever heard from you. Old songs were used on the UYI albums so that they could get all the old songs out of the way so they could start off fresh, with new songs for a future project. Do you fail to realize that UYI was two part specifically so that they could get all the song out there? 
No ideas? You do realize that TSI was a long term plan since 1991. Its basically served the same purpose as lies, to have some material out there to keep in the public eye while they worked on something else. The remaining years were full of lots of disagreements, thats why nothing substantial occured.
I'm sorry dude, but your post was pretty humorous.
#19 Re: Guns N' Roses » Yes it's a what will GNR do poll ...humor me LOL » 916 weeks ago
Maintenance is happening, so I cant even vote at the moment, but I'll say this:
A tour in 08 is going to have a HARD time being even semi-successful. A list of acts expected to tour the Us in 08:
Van Halen
U2
Metallica
Spice Girls(possible extended tour)
Led Zeppelin( a possibility)
Judas Priest
That big 80's rock festival(forgot the name)
The Stones(possible)
Ozzy
Extreme
Green Day
Oasis(maybe)etc.
Where does a band on its fourth albumless tour fit in to that equation?? Answer--it doesn't. The only tour on that list it would beat is Extreme. The only way they can even consider touring in 08 is if the album is in stores.
The Stones would be news to me, considering the fact that they have pretty much given up touring. Where'd you get that info from?
that 80s festival is a piece of shit, cant think of any good bands playing in it.
Green Day wont tour until they have an album.
