#41 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will the next single be something we've heard already? » 221 weeks ago
Tommy said there were 22 other finished songs.
I’ll take Atlas as far as songs that we know have lyrics. I may commit suicide if they release OMG again!
When did he say that? I must have missed that interview.

When Ashba came in it was the beginning of the end for me. That's when the CD vision got buried and the nostalgia touring began. What I really miss is the 2002 or 2006 line-up.
#43 Re: Guns N' Roses » Sympathy for the Devil recording date? » 222 weeks ago
lash claimed that Axl got the idea for GNR recording the song after seeing a screening of the film
I remember that differently. They initially had the Stones version of the song but someone involved wanted to get GNR to cover it. Axl initially balked and then changed his mind.
I remember reading a Slash interview where he said he watched the movie with the Stones version and said he didn't understand why Axl wanted to do a cover, as the movie was "fine" with the original. I think he considered it a favor to Axl..
But anyways, you know what would have been cool? Opening the Not In This Lifetime tour with the song live...
Edit: Nope, apparently Axl really didn't want to do it either, before he saw he movie. The request came from Tom Zutaut:

#44 Re: Guns N' Roses » What’s your opinion of the Spaghetti Incident? Rank the tracks! » 223 weeks ago
I really like the record and wish they would play more of it live. Do Ain't It Fun or Since I Don't Have You already. They were singles and have never been played live. Would make way more sense than playing random ACDC covers...
My ranking:
Ain't It Fun
Down On The Farm
I Don't Care About You
Raw Power
New Rose
Black Leather
Attitude
Since I Don't Have You
Human Being
You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory
Hair Of Dog
Look At Your Game Girl

#45 Re: Guns N' Roses » What are your opinions of HS and Absurd? » 225 weeks ago
Both b-sides and outtakes in any era of the band.
Outtakes may sound a bit harsh, but yeah B-Sides. There was a reason both songs didn't make it on CD, and considering what else they had in store (at least instrumentally), it's hard to see that they would have been anything more than filler if they made it on CD2.
Slash & Duff have improved Absurd at least to the Bumblefoot version, but I still prefer Silkworms with the original Chorus over both.
With Hard School. Slash's additions made the song definitely worse for me. His lead melody sounds uninspired and boring. The Village Version may not have been perfect/finished, but showed at least more potential in my opinion. They also should not have Frank redo the drums either.

Great news indeed! I wonder if this version of Spanish Ballroom has vocals. I also haven't heard the clean version of Jerk before. I'll definitely check it out
#47 Re: Guns N' Roses » Brian May talks ChiDem » 233 weeks ago
No version that we know of that is...
Tommy talked in an interview about him working with Brian on Riad in the studio. Apparently Brian couldn't figure out his weird chords...
#48 Re: Guns N' Roses » Brian May talks ChiDem » 234 weeks ago
Perhaps sounds like Robin. Apparently Rhiad was the third song he worked on
#49 Re: Guns N' Roses » GN'R 2021 Tour Thread » 235 weeks ago
It´s based on a phone recording from a GNR VIP afterparty. They played The General during that afterparty (i guess it was in 2010) and someone recorded a part of the song. These are the lyrics:
[Chorus]
Do you remember who did it?
Who did that to you...
Who would do this to you?
Who would do this to you? To the young!
Who would do that to me, boy?
Up to abuse, in fact you knew them
Who wants to lose?
To lose
Do you?[Verse]
I've got hopes and dreams, and I must feel bolder
My hopes, my dreams have died
Now I rest my hate in the rumors as they're pushin' through
There's a child now chained to the bed now
To me it's time I'm always workin' and I'm gonna get out
I think it's high time you should fuckin' die, child
I think this time you've broken everything inside
I won't be ever satisfied
This is why, baby, you know I got you
[Chorus]
Do you remember who did it?
Who did, that to you...
Who would do this, to you?
Who would do this to you? To the young!
Who would that to me, boy?
Up to abuse, in fact we knew them
Who wants to lose?
To lose
Do you?
You mean these lyrics come from that same phone recording that was so bad that you could hardly hear the melody? 
#50 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Will there be anything for Contraband’s 20th anniversary? » 240 weeks ago
Tie Your Mother Down was recorded during the Contraband era along with Surrender and No More No More.
Back then I thought they should change the name if they didn't continue with Scott, because Scott was such distinct element of the band's identity. Now I'm not so sure anymore. They should have went with Franky Perez after. He and Dave did some good songs, and he didn't sound so bad on Matt's short-lived Deadland Ritual project. He wouldn't have been a huge name like Scott, but more reliable and controllable.
