I don't see why Fernando would be sharing those scratch Bumblefoot demos.

Those were clearly Bumble being given demos/existing versions of songs and recording his scratch ideas on one channel and panning the rest of the song to the other channel.

Allegedly there's a version without the distorted effect on Axl's vocals

They would be smart to officially remove Fernando and bring in someone independent and actually experienced. They can massage it by making the person Nando's "assistant".

I can understand conflicting feelings for Axl on all of this because these people are also his family (a good reason not to mix work and family!), but also they work for him.

Slash and Duff... I'd hope they want no part of this with Fernando around. Even though they're not in charge, they know the money for this thing goes up in smoke if they walk. They have leverage and if they want better management of Guns now is the time to move for it.

Listening to the cellphone clip again, now that I know what I am listening to and can hear the lyrics, it is a shame we never got to hear that version.

This version is fine but as much as Slash's contributions sound fine, the song clearly was not originally going for a blues rock guitar sound as part of it and what can be heard on that cellphone clip sounds much better.

Anyone able to hook me up with this clip? I'm curious
