Gotta keep those covers though...can't risk dying from boredom onstage.
Well can you blame them after hearing the "new" songs ?
Actually....yes.
Releasing it... regardless of its quality...makes everything move quicker.
The label wants a reunion so they can keep selling boat loads of copies of AFD?
Release the album.
The label wants Axl to move on from these songs and start working on something else?
Release the album.
The label wants Axl to go solo and see where that goes?
Release the album.
There's no situation where rejecting the album works in their favor. In fact .. it's extremely reckless to continue to sit on it.
They would've realized quickly that nothing new is being created after shit canning a release. It's literally the same songs with him adding a few vocals here and there to already recorded instrumentals.
Unfortunately for both sides...it's now getting to the period where there's no one competent to negotiate a release TB didn't know its elbow from its asshole and Merck was too busy reading forum drama and emailing Madison and Chinese Blues every day to care about anything else.
Once the project gets introduced to Irving Azoff, it's already over. It's all about dumping the beer coaster into the hands of a company dumb enough to pay the tab....which wound up being Best Buy.
Every time both the label and Axl came upon a fork in the road, they went the wrong way.
Re: 2026 Tour Dates
Axl said something about ‘cornshucker’ which i think was a direct shot at me - something about a song that he knew nothing about. I had a good laugh.
It's amazing when he makes little comments like this.
The song got an official iTunes release out of the blue in 2007.
He knew nothing about it.
Embarrassing.
There was really no point in mentioning it. You and about two other people in the crowd know the song.
Re: 2026 Tour Dates
Yea that alone is what I found peculiar. Why bring it up at all if 99% of the audience had no clue what it is was in the first place. Nor is anyone really clamoring for it anymore.
I didn't know that bit about itunes.
Do you think he actually has disdain toward us?
Re: 2026 Tour Dates
Do you think he actually has disdain toward us?
During the Chinese years? Absolutely.
Now? No.
I think he's basically onstage reliving 1991-93 like he's still on top of the world. He can mention something ridiculous like that song and in his mind...for that very moment anyway ...the entire crowd knows of it...is salivating to know more. Of course the reality is that no one gives a shit and never will.
The crowd is there to hear Jungle, SCOM, PC, and NR....and pretend it's 1991-93 again for 3 hours.
The fan base is finally where he always wanted them to be.

I'm sure he notice the crowds are getting smaller and smaller, The venues are changing from prestigious big stadiums to the big market secondary venues as time goes by.
Axl can pretend in his mind that's it's 91-93 but in doing so the thoughts must creep into his head of why that all ended after 93. Why he couldn't recreate those crowds or success without Slash.
All that talent and all that money couldn't get those crowds or that nostalgic 91-93 feeling.
