It's a shame studio logs are not publicly available. Depending on an artists contract they are either property of the studio or artist and I'd imagine for GN'R that means Axl. The only way to probably get info on studio sessions would be through speaking to retired engineers who had no intention of working again.
When based in New York he tends to use Electric Lady Studios which was built by Hendrix, pretty sure that's where Brian May recorded his parts. A village style leak of stuff from there would be interesting, i'd love to hear what May did before his takes were edited together by Axl and Caram.

'Combining outrageous facts and never-before-told stories from as many direct sources as possible'
That part sounds promising. Not sure what the near death experiences bit is about, wasn't BBF car crash years after album release?

Interesting I'll have to pick this up. Good job I don't judge a book by its cover, as that cover looks tacky as fuck.
#24 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nothin' » 20 weeks ago
If there was any doubt as to who's idea it is changing the titles of these songs to sound more 'hip' look at how axl wrote the word nothing back in the 80's

If anyone has Monsters (Soul Monster) with Bucket and Robin I would offer a trade with a brand new sealed OG Live Era vinyl and LLAS OG vinyl (opened to check authenticity but unplayed).
Discretion 100% assured.
I wouldn't assume anyone who has this is a broad Guns N' Roses fan who values the early material you’re offering. It’s more likely the person holding what you want is specifically a Buckethead or fink fan. They may have no sentimental attachment to the pre-Buckethead era, making your current offer less effective as leverage.
If they are a Buckethead collector, your pre-2000s material won't have much pull. You're likely dealing with a niche fan who doesn't care about the band's original era.
& James is right on LLAS vinyl, I did see a guide somewhere a few years ago on spotting the differences between real vs bootleg.

Ok merry Christmas and all that, I'll leave this link up a bit unless James wants to remove it

I'm curious to see if Dizzy gets a writing credit for Nothin'. If so, I think it's possible that Nothin' is Ides of March (Dominguez said it was a Dizzy loop).
It would not surprise me if it was Ides Of March to be fair. When most people hear the word loop they think drum loop, but the fact that Dizzy came up with it & there being that loop throughout the song for sure at least suggests it could be.
Sorum claims to be the one who introduced Axl to the concept of loops I think. Didn't he say in his book that the catchphrase became 'LOOP IT!'?
If Dominguez said it came from a loop and he was there when they came in to Rumbo in 98 then it probably started life in The Complex in 96/97 with either Sorum or Sid Riggs.
From Rumbo your only likely to get Dominguez to talk about it maybe @SP1AT can ask him.
But from The Village nobody outside of Jeff Greenberg is likely to talk about what they did there.

As It Began parts of which were played live in 2002
Dragon If you except the Engle & Engle paperwork is real
The Rebel (from memory the CD was burned same month RTB was being interviewed at The Village along with Caram)
Oh My God Remix (not bbf version)
Depends on if you count the remixes I guess but this specific one has been largely forgotten by people. I think that years after those forum chats when the BBF guitar stem version leaked people assumed that was what Axl was speaking about back in 2008. However that version does not have new vocals and whilst the new guitar solo by BBF can certainly be described as wild, it’s clear that it’s not on the intro.
“There's a remix w/lots of new vocals and a wilder guitar intro but it's not taken all that seriously. ( AXL Chinesedemocracy.com December 14, 2008).
This basically confirms that not all of the Brain remixes are out there. Remember those half time shows where Brain and Mellissa played that version of Sorry along with the Better remix's? It's likely that there may be a version Of Sorry too.
#29 Re: Guns N' Roses » Last Unhyped/Unknown/Unleaked Track Release Question » 21 weeks ago
I guess technically New Work Tune should be on this list too
#30 Re: Guns N' Roses » Monsters V20.25 » 21 weeks ago
It's clearer but, there's a drop in tempo there that kind of sucks the life out of this one for me.
I'm not somewhere I can compare right now but do you mean the tempo is slightly off from the initial leak of Monsters?
Because if so that would indicate that one of those leaks may be a rip from vinyl. Compare Oh My God from CD to the vinyl and you get the same result, slight difference in tempo.
If true that would lend weight to the theory that Monsters was meant to be on that Perhaps 7'' with The general and was removed.
