maybe Perla had an insider on the production team on Chinese Democracy

Lucky they didn't use the superman intro to scraped

I bet you there are a 1001 alternative samples in different mixes in the vault, Axl just happened to agree on one that was not an original.

I still find it pathetic that nothing has been said about the tour

I don't listen to GNR that much any more. Sad, really. But then there's quite a few of the 'older' bands I'll go through phases of listening to - AC/DC, Maiden, Metallica etc

I listened to the leaks quite a lot, but its only occasionally on now, and then I tend to listen to three or four of the tracks

I remember when 'Better' first got leaked. That was probably the most exciting time in the new era, I literally couldn't do any work I was so pumped up.

The problem, the way I see it, is that ( and this is just my perception) Axl hardly gives a shit. Sometimes even the best projects die if there is no enthusiasm - its infectious you know?

Now if Axl came out totally rocking on the new tour, and released a double album and succession of new videos It'd probably enough...failing that, I think we all know what would really light the fire again......

To me its not really about rehearsing as much as getting the chemistry flowing

Good news anyway
