My thought is... Why would they give us the "remix" of a song that nobody outside of the GN'R camp has heard the original of?

Well I hope everyone knows we have no intention whatsoever to close this place any time soon.
I feel we have a GREAT user base here and although there may not be a lot to discuss in GNR-Land sometimes, the off-topic sections are great. Both Hollywood Blvd and The Black Hole get updated almost daily with off-GN'R topics. Some of the best threads/discussions I've seen in the past year have been in those sections
That's all I'm sayin'...

What is that? That ain't Axl singing.
He's singing backing vocals, man... And wikipedia says this shit came out in '96...
#295 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash in CD sessions 2001? Illusions reunion in 96? » 725 weeks ago
I don't remember the source, exactly... I think it was Guitar World, or some shit, like... YEARS ago... Before Slash left. They asked Steven Tyler and Joe Perry if they had any advice for Guns, and they said "It's too late... They got too big, too fast.. There's nothing we can tell them now"..
I think that's the biggest issue with Axl and Slash... Had it been a slow, steady climb.. Like what Geffen/Zutaut had envisioned when they signed them, their egos may not have been so enormous at such a young age, and they may have had a chance...

Talent IS the issue... When it comes to writing music... Any artist, if given enough time, could write decent shit. The truly talented guys can make something great out of dogshit. More than likely in a short timeframe... Good material just oozes out of them.

To be fair, DJ has never written with someone even close to Axl's talent before.
If I had to take a guess I'd say the current lineup will make a more straight ahead hard rock album that the general public claims to want from Guns. It will be interesting to see what happens.
I'm beginning to sour on "Axl's talent"...
Elton John and Bernie Taupin used to write brilliant records in a fucking weekend...
Appetite was a true collaborative effort... UYI had great moments, but , it too was a collaborative effort with leftovers, alternate takes, and covers... and it took 4 yrs to shake it out of them...
Since then... in 20 years, all I've seen out of Axl is one album worth of decent/good material... Not "The Greatest Album Ever Recorded" as we were led to believe CD was going to be...
He may be solely responsible for some of my favorite songs ever... but come the fuck on....
Compare him to a guy like Chris Cornell.... Sure, some of his shit has left me scratching my head, but at least there is a damn good and diverse body of work to show for the last two decades...
That's talent, IMHO..
If Uncle Axl wanted to impress me, he'd lock himself in a studio for a month the the band he has, and write and record a record. NOW. The "Down II" treatment... just go somewhere and fucking do it. Have all of them just live at his mansion in malibu...
You want to truly "rebuild Gn'R"... Then do what the old band did... Live together, write together, and just fucking get it done...

Because a lot of people think the 1992 Tour lineup was just fine and dandy. I tend to be one of "those" hardliners who feels GN'R died in 1991 when he left.
You both are correct.
And, no.. Izzy does NOT get a pass with me. Even though the performance was awesome.. I meant what I said.
