I really hate to be "that guy", but I'm sorry, I have no desire to leak material and hurt Axl.

I agree with the sentiment in theory...but then I have to ask...Did you feel that way when you downloaded them? Did you downloading them harm Axl? If it doesn't hurt him when you did it then it doesn't when you send them to me

Lets be honest. We're a small subset of people who care about this stuff. I can see not publishing it on youtube for the masses. But hardcores on forums. I will buy whatever Axl releases whenever he releases it regardless. The only difference is this way I'd enjoy TIL for a few extra years first.

Really the only person that harms Axl is his self thwarting behaviour. I mean we'd all have bought the AFD30th edition, we'd all have paid to go watch the 2012 gig in the cinema, we'd all have bought the dvd docos....we'd all have watched the 2008 TV interviews about the album release...but someone always upsets him and then he cuts off his noise to win a moral victory against the business types and we have nothing....

Sure...lets not publish it in the media...but I can't accept that letting 10 more people here listen to a 17 year old song really harms the band anymore than they do themselves, or indeed would have any actual impact on anything considering we're all deeply harccore and buy all GNR tickets at every chance etc....

Not the kind of hassle I want.

How are we gonna believe you? Show us the songs and then we will check out the podcast. I wanna see if what you describe is true. We need proof!
