Dizzy and Melissa have plenty of song writing credits outside of GN'R (Frank, as far as I can tell from a skim of the ASCAP database, doesn't). On Chinese Democracy, Pitman (whose slot Melissa occupies) and Brain had plenty of writing credits. So why's no-one asked Dizzy, Melissa and Frank whether they're contributing song ideas?
I could see Dizzy contributing to Atlas or Perhaps, Huge too. Melissa was in on the remixes so she could be re-doing Pitman keyboard parts. Brain did programming or something. Maybe Frank will do a drum solo?
I was thinking more about original song writing rather than laying down overdubs, but yeah.

19 cds very hard to put them in an exact order but every cd from the chinese era locker leaked
Bloody hell. Didn't realise it had all leaked. PM, anyone?

At the time I thought it kind of reflected the Slash and Duff situation. Maybe Axl could forgive the drug mules and give them a stay of execution.
It’s a bad ass title though. Get Andy Warhol’s Electric Chair painting as the cover.
That may have been the inspiration, but I'm pretty sure that - given the band was in a pretty parlous state at that point and that getting a new album out was a "do or die" moment for New GN'R - Axl was referring to the album being a "stay of execution" for the band itself. It's a cool title, but it doesn't resonate with where the band is at now.
Guns N Roses are always on death row. It’s the nature of the business. But I know what you mean it’s a bit negative for this rebirth of GNR. It’s more like the Return of the Living Dead. Self titled seems to be the most likely.
Given that Axl wrote that letter and copyrighted that title he could have some lyrics about this subject.
Yeah. IIRC they were also floating the idea of making the SoE album a self-titled one back then. Again, that would've been a statement of intent; "This IS Guns N' Roses, deal with it". Of course, self-titled would still work for a NITL-lineup album. I dunno, though, I feel like Axl's going to come up with something a bit more meaningful for this one. A "Stay of Execution/Use Your Illusion" type title that resonates with where the band is at now. Just a feeling I can't shake.

Besides which, SoE was always one of those "Axl pun" titles like "No Trickery" or "Not In This Lifetime." It's a specific reference to getting a stay of execution for New GN'R from the record company by putting out an album to placate them. The joke no longer applies, so I very much doubt that he'd use the title now.

#619 Re: Guns N' Roses » Fortus guesting with the Conspirators » 361 weeks ago
This is almost as unexpected as Slash and Axl getting back together. It's cool, but it sadly makes me think we're not getting a new album anytime soon.
Don't be daft. Slash's band was playing in Fortus' hometown while he was on downtime for the GN'R tour. They invited him to the gig, and presumably someone went, "hey, want to bash out a GN'R song since we all know how to play them?" What on earth does that have to do with the prospects of a new album?
#620 Re: Guns N' Roses » Fortus guesting with the Conspirators » 362 weeks ago
Ah, it was in his hometown, that's why. Here's a clip with Slash introing him.
