The guy has been contacted so hopefully we will see. He also has a CD of Chidem intro mixs (or claims to) The handwriting is close to the handwriting on The Rebel disc. But we don't know yet really

I really don’t take it as jest, he was just being funny on the description. But who knows.

And I refuse to believe Oklahoma doesn’t have vocals

IDK, on the AFD podcast after Brain talked about writing The General and Seven, he said "and I think Axl sang on The General". Not only did he not mention Axl singing on Seven, he wasn't even 100% sure about The General. Granted, this was in 2019 and his email regarding Seven was in 2010, but it seems strange he would remember so much about the individual parts of these songs years after being done with them in 2010 but then completely forget everything a decade later. I definitely view it as jest. According to others this is not the only email he would answer like this, he had gotten tired of responding and wasn't giving serious answers anymore.

Dude, absolutely. That “we wrote it while eating general Tso’s chicken” always sounded to me like he was joking with a hardcore fan, definitely tired of being asked so many questions. That “ball sack bridge” or whatever he said about “Seven” was another example.

It’s alright. A necessary upbeat rocker. Also, “don’t you try to stop us now” not “me now”. A rare divergence in lyrical theme from the “me me me” thing for Axl.

I never hated Scraped like everyone. The guitar is insane

I think for me the worst part of scraped is the intro vocal chants or whatever you want to call it. Also recording/production-wise there’s some either punch-in flaws or auto tune issues in that song that my ears always catch.
