thanks-

it wasn't up there when i went back the first time after reading it here.

i just don't see how a long period of nothing could be purposely organized at this time. i am not saying it won't happen i am simply saying i do not beleive axl would tell his band, "hey guys, i am gonna negotiate the album release for a year or two, keep in touch." everybody is leaving or talking about leaving or comitting to other things at a time where a lot of positive thing have happened. negotiations can break down but you don't assume they will and react to that assumption. you plan and you aim for them to go well in your favor. you also don't mess around with band members at this stage in the game. you have to be ready any scenario that can come out of the negotations and the strategic planning of geffen and management.

richard temporarily gone at the very least, a very odd interview with a standoffish fortus who appeared almost not to want to talk about gnr not because of a gag order, and now tommy talking reunion, although seemed more hypothetical.  either certain more marketable guitar players like izzy and bucket will be returning to gnr to tour cd release or the completion of cd is enough for axl and he is planning a complete reunion.

i seem to remember the first clip stopping before the vocals started. am i wrong? the posting of this says the full song will leak in two weeks as if to be a threat.

the beginning of the scream sounds like axl and that is the part that is hard to immitate cause it is the pronunciation part that's as unique as the singer's speaking voice. it sounds like a decent tune too. the solo sounds like slash to me to be honest. not saying it is though. cause we haven't heard any of the other guys play buesy like that it is hard to say who it is if it is gnr.  it could be any of them. i guess i'd go with robin if i had to guess.
