It was either abandoned in that 99-00 period due to the negative reactions to both OMG and Silkworms or possibly still around with one of the updated song titles. They sure loved changing song titles all the time... probably out of boredom.
Frankly the idiots at Interscope are to blame for that fiasco. Roy Thomas Baker among them. The only way a rewamped GNR could work is if it was totally different from the old band. At least Axl seems to have understood this at first. You can't have Finck and BH on stage playing Nightrain. Predictably people would just ask where the fuck is Slash.
The 2000 album would have sold more than 2008 CD if it was released. And once the shock was over they could have built on that with interesting, alternative rock n roll for years to come.
When the record company rejected it, Axl should have just gone for the reunion then and there, but understandable why he didn't considering how much he had invested.
Could he have just forced them? Say, ok you wanted an album, here is the album. Either release it or fuck off. I suppose they would have just sat on it. No wonder he felt between a rock and a hard place.

From a standpoint of "dishing it back" this is fine and expected. Not a discourse I particularly agree with, but at the same time you can't just let yourself be run over all the time. If your opponent is gloating then you are allowed to gloat. This isn't bible studies. A reflection of society more than anything.

Circus Maximus has never been confirmed to be connected to Ides Of March and should not be postulated as such. It's just a theory.
Unless Axl wrote multiple songs based on Ancient Rome it seems to be a good theory.

I agree, a real old-school Slash sound solo
Old school? To my ears there is very little old school about either Axl or Slash. OMG vocals is probably the closest to old school Axl that we have gotten. Not surprising when he made an deliberate attempt to sing different to preserve his voice. Slash too has changed his entire style from the 90s. He's much more slick now, clean. Plodding. He never bends like he used to. His best Nightrain solo is still from 1992.
Good? That's subjective, but old school feels off base to me.

Axl gets a lot of slack for his vocal performance, but in reality that is out of his control. When he does sing good he still does it to perfection.
Slash on the other hand is all over the place. Sometimes brilliant, other times meh. His guitar playing on this track is lacking. Tone is weak, solo is uninspired. I have not heard a good solo from his since the VR days.

Axl Rose is last of the giants
The new tracks demonstrate this more than everOne of the best to ever do it and it's a shame that people waste time being bitter and critical on mygnr rather than enjoy what happens when slash Axl and duff get together.
Yeah. His reputation has become better in the last decade but still severely underrated by the public and intelligentsia.
COTR proves he can still do it in the studio. It's criminal they are not getting together to create new material. Call Izzy, how hard can it be to jam out some tunes. Axl doesn't even have to write the lyrics.

Still can't understand why this has never been released or even suggested to be. Like it's completely forgotten. One of the few "legit" CD songs in my opinion.
#58 Re: Guns N' Roses » Children of the Revolution » 45 weeks ago
If anyone still needs something just make a request.
#59 Re: Guns N' Roses » Children of the Revolution » 46 weeks ago
COTR sounds great. Better than the original leak, but maybe that's just me imagining things.

What's the difference between these and the versions we have already heard?
