If we are to follow this Spotify logic -
What songs would be coming out?
#32 Re: Guns N' Roses » If CD came out in 2000, 2001 or 2002? » 143 weeks ago
Riad And The Bedouins with Slash would be interesting.
A lot of CD songs would be interesting with Slash: CD (song), SOD, Madagascar, TWAT (that song seemed designed as a Slash vehicle), IRS (throwaway track but he could’ve done cool parts)…

What do you feel?
Was wondering also if we could get a compilation going of sorts of great vocals from him from both sets of years?
#34 Re: Guns N' Roses » UYI Box tracklist unveiled? » 143 weeks ago
I just read on the Hoffman forum that Wilson had did a full remix of both albums but they got vetoed at the last minute. The only thing that remains from the remix is the new November Rain.
God that pisses me off.
I recently bought the Pink Floyd Animals mix and it's like having a brand new album. I can't even imagine what a new mix of UYI would've been like.
For starters...bury the rant on Get In The Ring.

Thing is back in the day, in all fairness, GNR was brutally honest. Axl over shared way too much of his inner life, those Illusion videos were a way of communicating his demons with the audience, same with the Making Of videos. Same with the Rolling Stone interview in 92 and the one with RIP the same year.
GNR was at one time very real and honest
It’s only since Beta took over Axl’s life that he’s slowly and increasingly shied away from everything and slowly become more jaded and greedy.
This was a guy who wanted everything documented and on film. And did stuff like the Photographic History documentary and such. CD was his way of telling his innermost struggles to the fans
So I would disagree with that. Nirvana cultivated their own sanitized mythology to the media.
I'd love to see the alternate universe where he never meets that family. It all starts going to shit right after that. While we certainly can't blame them for everything...the timing can't be a coincidence.
Aussie is right...when Axl dies, they'll unload
every scrap in the vault.
It’s always been my belief that Beta played a nice sized role in the breakup. Axl made his own decisions but I have to think she helped with poisoning his mind against Slash and reassured him in the belief that he alone was all that was needed to carry forward the band.
He was vulnerable, lonely as hell, drowning in loss and lawsuits; she preyed on him to cement a position of power in his life and any potential rivals were one by one eventually knocked off the board - Slash, Doug Goldstein, etc. she kept him isolated and on a leash.
If Axl never met her - or for that matter, never met Stephanie Seymour - I think we’d have a lot more albums from him, solo or with GNR.

#37 Re: The Garden » Breakthrough new DNA evidence that could find JonBenét Ramsey's killer » 144 weeks ago
This could be interesting. While I do believe the Ramseys had something to do with her death, it will blow minds if the DNA does lead to someone outside the house.
It would actually create more questions than it answers.
The whole case is bizarre and disturbing. She and I were born the same year. It’s sad to think that she never had the chance to have an actual life, even before she was murdered - living out her mother’s vicarious fantasies and such. She never had a chance at life. Today she’d be my age, 32, likely with kids of her own now. It’s warped to consider.
If the murderer was someone not in the house, it was probably a pedo who knew her from the pageants. Which is why they should be illegal. Those things are in every way gross. Kids at that age should be at home playing with dolls, not being dolled up on a stage. -vomit emoji -

What bullshit are you up to now miser.
My days of bullshit are long since over. I’m gonna be 32 this year with a lot of gray hair. Bullshit and drama is a young man’s game.
#39 Re: Guns N' Roses » SOG single coming? » 144 weeks ago
It would be strange, but it's the kind of strange thing they might do huh!
I really hope so, I want a new EP of these other songs badly, not that I wouldn't enjoy a UYI set, but nothing beats fresh GNR music.
If we got both the UYI set this year, and even 2 “new” songs, it’d be a great year. Let’s hope something like that happens
#40 Re: Guns N' Roses » UYI Box tracklist unveiled? » 144 weeks ago
So someone on the Discord pointed something interesting out.
Usually these digital releases follow the physical disc edition tracklistings. Well look at "Disc 3" on that Qobuz tracklisting page.
It's impossible to fit everything under Disc 3 on one disc. It would take about 4 CDs to fit both those shows.
It only makes sense for that to be listed as Disc 3 if Disc 3 is a Bluray. We maybe are getting some proshot.
Btw, would you wanna join a new GNR discord that just started? The aim of it is to be comprised at least at a 60/40 or 70/30 ratio of community old timers and skew toward an older (25/30+) user base, as opposed to the other servers which have mainly Gen Z. It’s just starting, with barely any people. But you’re welcome if you’d like to be part of it.
