Chances? Zero to slim.
Due to only one Chinese album there is too much in his vault to simply start from scratch... especially for a lead singer not known for being prolific or spending lots of time in the studio.
Grab his vocal takes, remove the music, and they could whip up an album quick style.
I assume they'll do at least a couple new songs but I have a feeling it will essentially be "the second half of Chinese" but with the current lineup.
It is those vocals that seem very rare and Axl has committed to songs like Soul Monster.
I just wonder about the themes, they probably are kind of universal like Sorry was about Slash for some but then it could be applied to anyone really.
I guess it will just drop in between UYI and CD sound wise. Another 14 tracks of solid classic rock.
I go round in circles on it. Especially with the leaks. But yeah it’s the Axl epics that are a big part of a GNR album.

I now chalk up the Freedom 7 flight reference as a coincidence.
Another reason is Devious Bastard is clearly a finished Bucket/Giant Robot instrumental simply brought to the Chinese buffet. There's nowhere for the song to go except on a Bucket pike or rotting in a vault.
It might be possible they took the Freedom 7 quotes and used them in another track.
I'm now onboard the Apex/sp1at train that believes Circus/Ides was likely renamed Seven at some point. I mean.... there's only so many songs to work with and Circus was clearly a song with major potential.
The project also had a clearly established pattern of changing working titles.
True Ides should have had work by Beltrami but he doesn’t mention it.
What is the full list of Beltrami tracks at this point?
I’ve been confused by the CD tracks and others he mentioned.
Elvis doesn’t have orchestra?

The silver lining of a Boris win would be it would hopefully signal the end of Corbyn.
You can get rid off Corbyn with a hung parliment too.
This is the last chance to stop Brexit. That's the selling point.
It'd force a second referendum.
That’s how I see it. But they aren’t running on that. To me that should be out front. Save the UK. But they are scaring everyone with tax hikes. But I mean most people will benefit from Corbyn’s policies even if he isn’t George Clooney.
Overall it’s all fly by night short term stuff. Wild swings one way then another.
Another plan is let the Tories handle
Brexit, it will be a mess then in 5 years everyone will be begging for something else.

I think the salary is bigger than the writing credits? Royalties depend on sales. If Chi Dem is ever on a Chevrolet ad Freese will make a ton.
I think Axl said at some point that he wanted the album to have the spirit of those that toured it. That’s why Ron was on it. But actually Ron played rhythm guitar on every track.
The Costanzo digital edit version is very different to the 00s album. It has a much more electronic element and Ron brought a 00s prog rock feel to it. Frank kind of rocked out the drums on the 5 singles.
Overall though I’ve realized that it’s Axl’s lyrics and vocals that really are the song. Even on Nothing or Eye On You there’s a song there. You could do acoustic versions with Izzy and it would fly.

I wonder how long the UK will last after Brexit, Northern Ireland is going and Scotland have wanted out since Trainspotting came out. If there was 4 separate countries that would make the rugby extra feisty.

Tbh Corbyn’s Policies sound wild. He’s not on side with big business like Blair. UK is all about its money. At least Corbyn is on the left not a centrist. There’s a choice between being part of the US or being a communist country.
#179 Re: Guns N' Roses » The Best of Rough Mixes Disc 2, Round 3 » 292 weeks ago
I don’t know I think Eye on You is better than Tonto and Mustache which have Perfect Crime filler potential. Mustache seems like a good chance of that.

It’s kind of bipolar. The Tories and Brexit seem at right angles to what Corbyn wants to do. But if you want out of Brexit Labour seem to be the last chance.
I have no idea what’s best really. I guess Corbyn will help the poor out so that’s good. UK seems like it should be a socialist country, it’s never been this kind riding Harley down the highway to freedom, it’s just living on tea n toast in the rain watching free tv in the rain. Rain basically.
