If I’m Axl, I’d want the original The General out there before the Slash/Duff version. Have your cake and eat it.

Damned right. I want the original, too.

As Detective Columbo, my mom’s favorite TV character, used to say, just one more thing:

“It is widely assumed that I’m likely to have access to more leaks. I don’t. I’m not a hoarder, and I don’t care to have anything I can’t share. I know that there are about ten more Guns N’ Roses songs floating around among outsiders, but I forget the working titles that I had been given, and I forget the name of one guy I met that had them. I’m not just saying that; I really do forget these details. I didn’t care, because they did me no good. What I’ve heard left me somewhat impressed, as I recall, but I’ve heard no new songs more than once, and none all the way through. I can barely remember how they went. I do not have a photographic memory.”

The second disc of Chinese Democracy is circulating.

How do we hear it? What will it take?

These are direct questions to those who have already sat on the tracks for a decade.

I don’t give a fuck how it’s released
Couldn’t give a shit as long as new music comes out

Also have zero time for people wanging on about “but they made a demo of this before therefore I feel cheated”
Get in the sea.
