yep...nice post Faldor and D too....good posts all around. At some point, Axl needs to decide whether he wants to be an artist or a commercial whore. If he wants to be an artist, then he needs to get out of his contract and go independent. It is a very tough road to travel if you think you can do both in this music industry climate.

I've stated several times before that Axl has become both Money and Record Company's bitch for some time now.

I wouldn't be surprised to know that he's touring to pay for something related to not promoting/Best Buy videos never released or even recording costs AND maintaining his style of living.

Unlike Sorry lyrics, he caved in.

That's completely sad and I feel for the families and relatives of the ones killed or hurt, in any form, by this.

Isn't this the same city of Columbine?

The difference I see (regardless of what was written before) is that almost all of it was written by the guys that recorded it.  Not so much if there's another album from those sessions.  Some of those guys have been gone for a decade.  Think about that...

Yeah, that's a shame. It feels like a crooner album, kinda like Sinatra, in some form. It kinda loses the 'feel' and the raw to it and I completely agree with you.

Please describe "completed" or "earlier origins".

There's piano and acoustic versions of November Rain from the era before Appetite was recorded. If you say it's only completed after the horns and strings arrangements, perhaps that's the same with all CD era songs and vault, since they're all full of it? We'll never know, to be honest. It was mentioned on interviews that You Could Be Mine was kept for future releases and was ready to AFD.

"Completed" is a term that means different things for you, for me and, surprisingly, even for Axl.

If you want just to bash, it's ok, but don't try to act like you're not being almost irrational on your arguments just to try to prove a point.

And, still, you didn't reply my question. wink

If the start from scratch, then this CD II journey will be as long as the CD saga. On the other hand releasing the 1998-2002 BH/Finck/Freese/Mantia stuff in 201x would be ridiculous.

No more ridiculous than releasing it in 2008.

Well, CD was 4(+) years 'fresher' in 2008 than its successor can be if that's old material again. I get your point though. If they wrote an album when Bumble joined, even that would be old material by now.

Did you feel this way about You Could Be Mine, Don't Cry and November Rain, just to name a few, when they were released in 91, given they were written in 85, BEFORE Appetite?

#836 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tommy Video Interview From Hellfest » 721 weeks ago

It was not an interview per se, it was a brief talk for the endorser, ESP, who now has a Tommy Stinson bass!

It was MARKETING, not an interview.

#837 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tommy Video Interview From Hellfest » 721 weeks ago

Yeah, in 2010 in Porto Alegre he was a class act on the short stay around here. Got to talk to him and Bumble quickly. Even after the disastrous loss of a friend at the night of the show, Tommy was polite and, obviously, devastated by the occurrence.

#838 Re: Guns N' Roses » Stupid Question: Better » 722 weeks ago

Most of lyrics in ChinDem sound like reactions to betrayal and mistrust.

Even This I Love ("now I don't know why she wouldn't say goodbye"), Scraped ("you're more than they tell you"), etc.

It may not be true in fact, but that seems to be his feeling for the last 15+ years: he was betrayed.

Monkey, I have the same feeling and interpretation of the songs on CD, and I think it's really genuine and truthful.

Thanks guys!

By the way that wasn't a stupid question. Nothing is wrong with trying to interpret a song and trying to understand why lyrics were structured a certain way or how the artist felt during the process of writing & recording it. Makes for great discussion!

Thanks for that! Funny thing is I've questions like this all the time! Gonna start asking them! big_smile
