i lol'ed, nice reference

True, when I said I searched just now, I meant on the UK amazon.

in my opinion, the complexity probably mostly comes from the length of time its taken to record this material. if they started in 1994, there must have been a hell of a lot of money put into it for one. we know stuff has been recorded in a lot of different places across the world, which could mean they have to license different parts of the album in different ways because of conflicting copyright laws or something. we also know there has been a lot of people working on the album for various different reasons. if gnr recorded 10 tracks over 10 years with 10 different producers at 10 different places, then thats gonna be a lot of stuff that needs to be sorted before the track can be used. plus on top of that it all needs to be mastered etc, and we know axl is a perfectionist, so its likely to be mastered several times so he gets it exactly how he wants it. then on top of all of that, theres still things like sample clearance that would need to be done for things like on maddy. i can see it could be very complex.

thanks for that link madagas, karma.

i agree with you about steph as well, i think you are totally right about the angel being a reference to her, and thats why i think the lyric is something to do with giving head, maybe a reference to her cheating on him or something?

see im thinking something similar but it still doesnt sound like he says that exactly, i dno how to explain it. its almost like hes saying something he doesnt want us to hear properly if you get what i mean?
