Absolutely. Look at the title track how it was performed eons before release. That wasn't Slither catchy obviously but would've went down a lot better had it been released like that instead of "improving" it in 2007.
Everyone also says that very first leak of Better was the best one and look how that turned out.
I almost jizzed in my pants when I heard the first Chinese demo. Axl's voice is spot on. I like the guitar they added on the album version, but I hate the harmony vocal Axl tacked onto the verse. Can't always get what you want...

Niven is full of fucking shit. ID is right. He's the biggest shit stirrer in existence. The only time I remotely believed him was when Axl spoke in his own defense of the acquisition of the band name, and Niven backed up Axl's story of the events, and considering the two fucking hate each other worse than childhood AIDS, I believed Niven.
Beyond that, the guy has made his disdain for Axl clear, which is fine, he's hated, but alot of the time Niven's shit doesn't even make sense.
Like this. Niven's claims make no fucking sense. Izzy supposed slated a meeting with Axl to talk about performing at the RNRHOF, i'm assuming in 2012 when they got inducted. Axl no showed, Izzy waited for 2 hours, and he was pissed. Right?
Then why the fuck did Izzy, who was so incensed by this, turn around AFTER THE HALL OF FAME, and perform with Axl and the new Guns in London, practically right the fuck after?
Again, some of what Niven says doesn't make sense. BUT... I will say this... Izzy has been kinda absent since. Hmmm....
Wait, are you saying that a lot of things involving Guns N' Roses don't make sense?

Former Guns N' Roses manager Alan Niven said that guitarist Izzy Stradlin will be taking part in the reunion after all, but will only make it official once the dust settles a bit.
Alan told Holmberg's Morning Sickness: "Izzy will sit on the sidelines until he feels like he wants to get his toes in the water.
"He doesn't like all the drama. He's written with them, recently."
Additionally, former Poison manager Howie Hubberman backed up the latest report about drummer Steven Adler being in negotiations to rejoin the band.
As reported, host Eddie Trunk said that several sources have told him that the guys are working on a deal to include Steven as a part of the story as well. You can read about it here.
Anyhow, Hubberman now noted that the guys are indeed working on an Adler deal.
He said on Facebook: "Negotiations are not finished. They are doing this the right way! Right way would include Steven (in some way)."
Thus far, the following musicians have been confirmed or linked to the new GN'R lineup:
Officially confirmed via press release from the band: Axl Rose on vocals, Slash on lead guitar, Duff McKagan on bass.
Strongly linked and confirmed via social networks through personal posts or posts by individuals close to the band: Richard Fortus on guitar, Frank Ferrer on drums, Dizzy Reed on keyboards, multi-instrumentalist Chris Pitman.
Rumored with mild hints: Dave Kushner of Velvet Revolver on guitar, Steven Adler on drums, and now Izzy Stradlin on guitar.
Things that make you go "hmmm..."
It would be Izzy's style to just kinda hang around until he decides it's right. As for them talking about Steven being involved, damn. I hope it's not just for Coachella.

I guess I'm just trying to say that Guns could get away with a song or two if they don't have a full album or the desire to release an album.
Oh I agree with that. After the album came out and some were complaining about the quality and how he cant possibly have a second great album in the vault, I said he doesn't even need a great album to put him back on the map....he needs a great song.
If there is a Cochise or Slither sitting in that vault and these guys throw it out there in the midst of this reunion, they're instantly back on the map.
The sad thing is that he may have had that song already before all the fucking tinkering and adding of new band members.

Didn't Axl and Matt patch shit up a while ago? Matt posted a pic about seeing Axl somewhere and they sat down and talked or something. It might not be relevant as Matt could have said something stupid to piss Axl off again like everyone with their "insider info" is saying.
#166 Re: Guns N' Roses » Official Statement coming from Guns camp tonight. » 494 weeks ago
People are bitching about a bloated lineup like they've never seen the fuckin UYI DVDs before. The only people that mattered on that stage were Duff, Slash, and Axl, and I'm pretty fuckin content to be seeing them on stage together again.
#167 Re: Guns N' Roses » Potential Opening Acts » 495 weeks ago
Doesn't Dave Grohl have some kind of beef with Axl? Not sure Foo Fighters would be the best choice.
#168 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose To Talk "Guns N Roses" on Jmmy Kimmel Live(Not Happening) » 495 weeks ago
So is he just doing an interview or is GNR performing? Another post said this would be reunited GNR's first show.

Can't believe. Glad I got to see him. One of the best shows I ever went to. RIP.
