#231 Re: Guns N' Roses » If GNR releases nothing in 2023, is this the end for you? » 160 weeks ago
Why is this utter twat (Fermanager) panicking every time there's even a hint of something being worked on? Is he afraid he's going to get badgered by the 30-50 of us who still care about new music? He hasn't interacted with GNR fans on Reddit or Mygnr in two years, so why give a shit?
Probably because of his meal ticket.

In fact, I think they're trying to get a single out, like any day now. So you may hear something very, very soon."
Very good news from a person near to Axl
He also says the new music is very Appetite oriented. He said that when they recorded AFD, they did 29 songs, but only 11 made the album (it was actually 12).
Does anyone else find this interesting and bizarre that for one, I’ve never heard that they recorded close to 30 songs for AFD, and that they’re now apparently revisiting those leftover songs nearly 40 years later.
Only in the world of GN’R…
Well you have the 12 afd tracks, 4 live like a suicide tracks, then you can assume shadow, bad obsession, don’t cry, you could be mine, maybe kohd. Then new work tune and the plague. Idk getting to the point where someone could thumb in the air say 30 songs. Probably include other hollywood rose shit too.
Edit: November Rain as well.

Even if they haven’t debuted new music yet I give them credit for rotating alternates and switching up the order of songs. I’m excited for Fenway.

GN’R had so many people walk through their door in the 90’s after the band imploded, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Pepper jammed with them or something.
He did audition for the bass player spot in Metallica too, so maybe he did really jam with GN’R back then as well
Just googled and looks like they actually opened on the GnR and Metallica tour for at least RFK in Washington. Wish I knew more about CoC when I met her.

Great example of recency bias is the love for Scraped on the first few pages of this thread. Probably speaks to the thirst for real rock on the record even if the song doesn’t hold up after a few listens.

Oh jesus christ Darknemus. Good for him, done a lot for the community. But still probably Pittman! (Half joking.)

Hell...the Chairman even admitted this with the "more rasp" line.
There was also other trades going on at the same time.
We all know who the Chairman is right? It's fairly common knowledge who was writing those poems and who was supplying the tracks.
Are we allowed to say in public?
Based on who it is - I'd be surprised if they were holding on to more material given their pre-2019 track record.
No clue. Pittman?

To better remember what happened 15 years ago around now I went looking for Skwerl’s article about the 2008 leaks on Antiquiet and it seems that site is gone? Eventually it turned up here:
https://steveleeds.wordpress.com/tag/guns-n-roses/
This part is interesting:
“The story I got from Steve was that a year prior, a friend of his, a courier of some kind, walked into Jimmy Iovine’s office, and walked out with a CD. Ten tracks; these nine, plus another version of Better that I never bothered to get from Steve.”
Oh, and this:
“Jarmo from the GNR fansite Here Today… Gone To Hell came across news of the leak. He immediately notified Fernando Santos, who checked it out, and then did a Whois lookup on Antiquiet.com to get my phone number so he could talk tough to me.”
And this, which suggests that THE BAND TAKES ACTION ONLY WHEN LEAKS OCCUR:
“Chinese Democracy was finally released on November 23rd, 2008, exclusively at Best Buy, about 20 weeks after my leaks. That’s from no concrete plans, to going up on shelves. Pretty quickly, especially if we’re talking about the poster child for album delays. What did we know about that deal? Best Buy paid a large up front sum for the exclusive, at least seven figures, by all reports. We obtained evidence showing that the value of that exclusive was determined largely by the media hype my leaks had created. UMG had shown Best Buy charts of Google traffic for Chinese Democracy that started spiking in June, and was riding high. The iron was hot, so to speak. And before Best Buy got on board, the only heat source was the fire under my ass.
We started noticing a peculiar trend. Maybe it was all coincidence, maybe none of it was, or maybe something in between. But every time there was a major development in my case, there was a promotional event that seemed to capitalize on it. I would attend a scheduled court appearance, and a single would drop. Or the album art would be revealed. Or there was a tour announcement. I forget what lined up with what; at the time, I wasn’t sure if it was calculated, or our imaginations getting out of hand. So I wasn’t paying very close attention to that thread, but it was one that David and our PI would point out regularly.
What I do believe is that UMG used my leak to their advantage.”
Consider what happened with the storage locker leaks preceding the “Absurd”/“HS” single.
Which suggests that if we do want to hear “The General” …
A leak may indeed be what takes to get an official release.
If I’m Axl, I’d want the original The General out there before the Slash/Duff version. Have your cake and eat it.

For me, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal releasing Absurd and Hardskool. I’m not getting finicky at this point. Playing CD and VR songs is kinda lame though.
I don’t think playing CD and VR songs are lame, I just think when they play them, they are treating them as the equal of new music. That’s lame. Like this tour you’re busting out Street of Dreams and Prostitute when you actually, obviously, have something “new” in the can with Perhaps. Why?
