I wouldn’t be at all surprised if CD was the best of the bunch.
The record company should’ve signed Axl to a permanent completion bond. It would’ve saved everyone the trouble. Get these out like Kanye is doing now with Ye, Kids See Ghosts, etc.
I like Silkworms. The CD II progeny had the meat and potatoes. Hard rock songs, heavy drums, danceable, catchy vocal takes. But I’ll be damned if that synth bridge makes me doubt that Axl ever knew what he was doing.
It’s just so colossally bad and even worse that it survived the first cut. It’s as pointless as the Riad intro. Absurd!

If anyone's generous I'd appreciate a PM. I may not post that often anymore but I do still check in and read.
Same. Just the opportunity of new music coming from this band makes me lose my mind!!!

IF he joined the NITL circus, I think he would still be in tandem with Fortus. there was no need to sack Fortus and it seems everyone is happy with him in the band - so it would remain 3 guitar thing, probably.
I was always under the impression from my source at Livenation 2-3 years back that this was the original plan. The plan for the reunion was the band to be Axl, Slash, Izzy, Duff, Steven and Dizzy. But to compromise with Axl then Fortus, Frank and Pitman (eventually Melissa instead) would be kept around to fill out sound and be like a backup quarterback situation incase Izzy spooked and bailed or Steven fell off the wagon. Shame. All over Axl's ego

the whole situation with izzy is a bummer.
the writing was on the well when he did a song about money with matt sorum of all people.

And I’m taking the long way home today.
Really got no worries either way.
Cuttin’ deals, shakin’ hands,
hopin’ it feels, open plans.
They can fight about it, money, it’s just a bag of gold.
They can fight about it, money, feel the big wheels roll.
And I’m taking the long way home today.
Really in no hurry either way.as much as i love him, the truth is izzy never would have worked as a full-time member of this massive touring machine.
he's much more suited for a one-off appearance at a big show. if we saw it with adler, it's possible we see it with izzy, but i'm not holding my breath.
If Izzy didn't want to tour full time, he wouldn't have asked for an equal cut of the loot. I would have given him a chance, If Axl Rose is being held legally liable to show up on time with his checkered past, they could have worked izzy in
