Re: GNR '95 - The Lost Drummer
Yeah, the song wasn't bad enough in the first place, so Axl hired 3 other guys to do the job.
Re: GNR '95 - The Lost Drummer
why he would even go through the trouble of doing it.
Cant say money because he's already rich. Cant say art because he obviously isn't interested in musical output.
Maybe its like madagas said all along....
He's just bat shit crazy.
i diagree with you there
not that he's crazy
but you're reasoning for him doing these things not for art
not all artists make their art for money
they sell their art for money, more specifically
musical output and money , which you have as two reasons, are the same reason in this case IMO
maybe he just wanted to play around with the money he already has lots of and create his art
for himself
he's far less motivated to actually sell it and fine tune and appease the label and the world, etc. etc.

Or maybe Axl was contractually obligated to put out a Guns N' Roses album?
"Do ya think I'm doin' this all for my health?"

Yep. Somewhere along the line, Axl regained interest in rebooting GN'R and putting out an album. I think he signed the papers, got involved, then regretted it, but at that point, he was committed.
I've thought for a while that's why everything was so half ass from top-to-bottom.

Re: GNR '95 - The Lost Drummer
I think art, Guns N' Roses and Axl's own preferences, be it musical, financial or personal, tend to be the same for Axl. With other words: if Axl wants to get full control, then the others are unreliable, lazy, uninspired and very vicious people and it's his mission to save Guns N' Roses, rid of the people who 'don't wanna do the band on this level' and last, but not least, he's always there to avoid 'cancer' and fight against those whom the public feels to be as much Guns N' Roses as he is.

agree, he got to far in to it and couldn't get out....the official date of signing himself in to it for good was 5-1-98
"In the other May 1, 1998 amendment, Axl Rose agreed, among other things, to deliver that new studio LP (which was even then long overdue under the Recording Agreement) no later than March 1, 1999 and received a substantial advance from Geffen in return. Hence, although other individuals have joined Axl Rose in performing under the name Guns N' Roses since 1998, Rose is the only principal in the band. "
as soon as he took the advance and committed to an album, he couldn't wriggle out or he would have faced substantial economic hardship due to the costs he had already piled up. Ten years later we finally got it. Best Buy was his golden parachute. Then, he took his ball (and money) and went home.
