Some guy is claiming that Street Of Dreams is the next single and has posted the artwork on mygnr.
I think it looks a little fake, but I dunno, surely the days of people posting fake shit is over. The way he describes the radio edit, having a few snippets of piano solo moments cut out, sounds quite plausible.
I think the song might do quite well, its over produced to my ears but I've played other versions of the song to death over the years. Joe public wont know of the stripped down version, "The Blues" in other words, and just take SOD as it is.

I dont think Slash gives a fuck about pushing back bounderies, he is happy as a pig in shit rocking out on his guitar.
Slash has released some mediocre stuff but he dont give a fuck, he was active and keeping himself occupied.
Axl took god knows how long and an unbelieveable amount of resources and talent just to make a decent record.
All members of GN'R were more inspired in their youth.

Those pictures are brilliant! The one sitting in the wee bath is hilarious.
Its worrying though, extreme weather is just gonna get worse and worse.

Its all good, Faldor makes some valid points 
Axl did piss me off a bit with his hardship spiel though.
#3215 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Speaks to Billboard » 926 weeks ago
They asked about leaks, not what he considers to be people with a history of being detractors from his fan base. Its a silly little potshot at an insignificant few.
I'm not saying he shouldnt have said it, I'm saying I find it very sad.
#3216 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose Speaks to Billboard » 926 weeks ago
I actually dont give a shit. D comes here quite often complaining about his treatment there. I've also read firsthand the many, many potshots taken at him and others.
Fuck them.

As for the leaks, I thought his response was pretty good there. I mean he actually said he can't honestly say if they were good or bad for the album. But what's wrong with saying some people get attached to the leaks? Is that not what happens? I thought it was admirable that Axl came to the forums and spoke to the "fans". I thought everyone agreed on that? Now it's not okay to talk about fans? Shame on Axl for paying attention.
Thats not the point.
You think Billboard or Reuters or anybody with a life cares about what a couple of geeks say about demos on the internet?
I think its quite sad he has things like that on his mind at this time.

Question for D:
HTGTH has a core elemant of vile little bullying bigots, why even bother trying to reason with such ugly people and their wannabe cohorts?

Ha! Duffs face says it all
Another note about the interview:
"That said, you have those who become emotionally attached to how the leaks sound, which, for better or worse, usually isn't so great to contend with. And it seems that those who often do so and complain publicly, oddly and coincidentally, have a history of basically being detractors as well even if they're somehow considered part of a "fan" base."
Legendary Guns N'Roses frontman Axl Rose uses his first media interview in 9 years to take pot shots at a few geeks who post on unofficial GNR internet forums. 
I dont know whether to laugh or cry.
"There aren't too many issues of the hundreds [we ran into] that happened as quickly as anyone would have preferred, from building my studio; finding the right players; never did find a producer; still don't have real record company involvement or support; to getting it out and mixed and mastered."
Is this not a little strange? Throughout the years how many producers, studios, band members did he go through?
I can believe record company support started waning after a decade or so, I really dont blame them. But the interviews and articles throughout the years seem to suggest plenty of support was offered but that meant cooperation, and Mr "I wont bend my will" Rose rejected most of it.
He says the focus is on this record, but I it will take a miracle to salvage its reputation.
I would drop another album later in the year and go out and work to create some positive fucking vibes. Releasing a good album with no stigma and promoting the band and the music might spark more interest and get more people to reconsider their preconcieved ideas about CD.

People label Slash a media whore because certain malicious characters in the GN'R community planted those seeds of resentment, same goes for all the Slash is liar nonsence. Its a pathetic attempt to tear down the biggest percieved threat to the success of this version of GN'R. The sad thing is if the inflated egos at the root of it all took a good hard look at themselves, things might be a little brighter.
Having another look at this interview it doesnt seem like Axl is focused at all on the music and moving forward. Any question about music was answered in basically one or two sentances, the bulk of the interview was him ranting again about how everyone is out to get him.
These are difficult and worrying times for many people. Noone is going to want to hear from a spoiled millionaire rockstar complaining about being giving millions in advance to fund his vanity project at his leisure over the course of 15 years, then showing how far out of touch he is from reality, by claiming to be at the mercy of cut throat loan sharks, those evil doers who gave him those millions and leisure time to make a record.
Go down to a local blue collar bar Axl, tell your tale of woe to some of the guys in there who are are facing the prospect of losing their jobs and their homes, tell it to the people who are already sleeping in their cars or under the stars. Tell it to the people who, in a last desperate act, have actually put themselves at the mercy of cut throat loan sharks just to pay the rent and put food on the table.
Gimmie a fuckin break
