I’m getting the impression that many people have different interpretations of ‘top shelf’. That’s what I like about these discs, lots of variety!

Vindicates to a degree but then I look at how many tracks are missing vocals and it leaves you questioning who was putting in the effort (of course vocals may have been added since the leaks).

Agree with you James about not having Slash and Duff re-record - maybe take Hardschool and Oklahoma and leave the rest where it is - for a future ‘nugnr’ reunion :-)

i dunno, listening to some of these leaks makes me think that I'd prefer if 'GNR' (Axl/Slash/Duff) could pick a couple of suitable songs and then make the rest from scratch.

this would give Axl the opportunity to release the three CD album triology as intended, give credit where due for the song writing and then maybe even play some concerts with the old / nu band.

Circus Maximus is very cool

Does anyone know how many of these tracks that are missing vocals that Axl actually completed? Could they theoretically all still be instrumentals?
