Re: Mustache
Was sniffing through the YouTube’s and this dudes channel that has locker stuff up has mustache. I noticed in comments some guy saying vocals recorded for this song in the “first remake sessions” in 2002/2003. Discarded at the 2004 major overhaul?
Seems to claim it’s about some French drummer that died in 1987.
Anyone know if this is true and or how tf would someone know this
Much? Also I’m sure there were plenty of remake sessions but a discarded overhaul of 2004 that’s news to me.

Re: Mustache
Probably the Atlas/CubanskiesDummy whackjob who makes up nonsense for shits and giggles. Since the forums have tired of him I've seen him spamming his bullshit on Twitter, wouldn't be surprised if he was doing it on Youtube as well.
Re: Mustache
Can you link the video please?

The was a French drummer called Moustache who died in 1987.
He starred in the 1970s version of Zorro, and the 70s movie is seen by some as the definitive version of Zorro
And, Zorro was regarded as bringing the bandana look into fashion for people that wore them
Whether any of it is true I don't know and the chance of Axl knowing about a French jazz drummer and occasional actor is potentially quite slim, but who knows

I mean, Axl has worn many bandanas in his day. It doesn’t seem far-fetched that he would know about the guy who pioneered the style.

Song written by Pete Scaturro and Carroll. Vocals recorded by Axl in the first "remake-sessions" in 2002/2003. Discarded at the 2004 major overhaul.
That could be an educated guess any of us could have made from listening to the song

@m.b4402 Yes. This song was about the french drummer and actor François-Alexandre Galepides alias Moustache, died in 1987. The chorus has samples from 'Two For The Road', a 70's film (Galepides played a role on it).
Brain and the band at the time loved sampling old movies in songs (from the 70's) they were working on & intros both in studio and live (The joint shows).. It seems like something somebody might claim if they wanted fans of that era to believe them.

Really cool instrumental from the village disc but your analysis seems spot on.

Interesting and i agree with you that it's a reach, But does anyone understand the thought process Axl Rose has ?
There's a track called the Curly Shuffle for instance if we are looking for similarities for absurd song title inspiration.

Re: Mustache
To play devils advocate It may be worth noting that if this claim was real it wouldn't hinge on Axl's knowledge of the French drummer or Zorro. It was Brain who has mentioned before that it was he and EXTRAKD who were findings samples (eg) Ben Hur..
It's not like it was Axl who named a song after chicken, or called Better Three Dollar Pyramid. Everything suggests that the writing of these songs was a group effort.
But obviously anyone can make wild claims in comment sections. There is one guy would claims Paul Tobias wrote everything and another who is a mental Fink fan and has probably hounded all of us at some point.
