When Robin left the band in 1998/99 he left because Axl didnt have a full album ready yet. HE said axl had 100s of song ideas but not completed songs.

this also explains the confusion over if Robin plays on Oh my god or not.  Axl claims robin plays on oh my god but robin claims he didn't.

that is probably because Axl just took some Finck guitar riffs or parts from those 100s of song ideas and pasted them into oh my god.  So Robins guitar is technically on the song but Robin didnt actually play on it.

Its just like how that Brian May solo on CITR, Brian May never actually played it like that.  Brian May said the solo he did was different and axl pieced together a number of different solos he played for Axl to make one solo.

So Axl may have 100 songs for CD but they are mostly incomplete.

That is why he said back in like 2006 or 2007 before CD was released the band had 2 and half albums recorded meaning probably like 30-35 songs fully recorded but the rest are just song ideas and not fully competed since Axl was so big on just cutting and pasting guitar parts together to make a song.

I think at most IMO there are probably only like 20-30 songs fully completed.  And some of those we already know the titles of like

Ides Of March ('98)
Oklahoma ('98)
Atlas Shrugged ('99)
Closing In On You ('99)
Cock-A-Roach Soup ('99)
Friend Or Foe ('99)
Hearts Get Killed ('99)
No Love Remains ('99)
Something Always ('99)
Suckerpunched ('99)
Zip It ('99)
Down By The Ocean ('01)
Leave Me Alone ('02)
Seven ('02)
The General ('02)
Thyme ('02)
Quick Song ('05)
Zodiac ('05)
Motormouth ('06)

that is like what 19 or 20 songs.

so besides those, there are probably only at most 10 more songs.  I bet one of those song titles are checkmate.

IF we ever hear anything else from the value, it will probably be those songs on that list and maybe a few more.

But yeah i agree I don't think there are like 70-80 songs out there.
Maybe 70-80 song ideas that are incomplete but if the whole 3 album thing was really always there plan, that is just like 40-45 songs and we already got like 15 of those with CD so that really just leaves like 30 more and 20 of those are on that list.

Also IF Axl, slash and duff were ever going to make an album and it would have to be done fast.

I could see Axl just picking the 12-15 best songs he had from those sessions and let slash and duff (maybe izzy) write to them, then put an album out.

At worse they could just pick 2-3 to put out an EP for the tour and record those.

But even new songs from this line up with slash and duff is a pipe dream at this point ha

that is what Patty told me when I spoke to her back in the day. She said when she did her harp for the song, BH was doing the solo.

Like I said in the other post. that is why BH hated Robin and you could tell on stage because there are videos of BH being a dick to Robin .

BH was pissed because he did a lot of work on the songs then Robin came back like he never left and Axl and Finck redo some of BHs solos for the album and that pissed off BH.

This I love must have been one of them, not sure what the others are.  But think about this.

There is a version of CD out there with BH doing all the leads and not much Robin. I love Robin but I would love to hear those tracks that had mostly BH solos

And to be fair, Axl could have just cut and pasted some of Robins guitar work when he came back to the band and Robin had no clue that he even did it. But it still pissed off BH from what I remember.

I cant imagine what BH thinks that Ron shitted all over some of his songs like Shacklers Revenge.  Even Rons Rhiad solo is shit compared to the leak that had BH on it.

I want to hear the SR version with BHs solos not Rons.

It won't be there is that rumor of a 25 date stadium tour in the US plus some Euro dates.

The band is reportedly getting $3-5 million per show, that is for the big 3 Axl Slash and Duff.  you really think any of them would turn down at least $1m each per show to just do a one off gig?

If they do the whole US tour that is at least $25m for each of them.  Axis slash-less version of GNR won't get close to that and Slash solo won't even get close to Axls non slash GNR.

Why wouldn't they do it?

The real question is will Axl make it through the whole tour without imploding.

There is for Europe.

And where was that posted exactly? its not on gunsnroses.com, its not on their FB page.  OH you mean it was just posted on some so called official GNR forum LOL

Please that is not an official announcement. It was just posted on a message board.  I love how it says go to gunsnroses.com for more info and there is zero info about it except the coachella dates.

The people managing GNR right now are a bunch of hacks.
