I cant stand how that text comes off as if she is GNR.

At this point she really seems to be. Axl might as well have been a paid employee, out doing nostalgia gigs to cover TB's overhead. Don't know how long he'll even live if it goes on like this.

You guys want there was a time acoustic?

Just having a fresh take on Better is great, and ain't going down is a darn cool track.  It's something new, which we haven't had anything like in a few years now. I haven't felt like this since 06! 

Anyone know the story behind the leak, the who, what, where?  I'm kinda interested in any back story as to why these leaked now.....

I always figured this would be the long term effect of piracy...basically if you're an established act there's no real need or motivation to make a new album...might as well just tour the hits till retirement.

Yeah, but that completely goes against being a creative artist.
If you're a true artist, you don't make new music for money as your goal, you do it because you're creative.

So many other artists are releasing new music without financial motives, it's sad to see GN'R making every excuse under the sun as to why they can't....
