Just sent the Silkworms clip to everyone who asked.

There's nothing going on. People claimed to have both songs (The General would be just a 2 min cut), but seems likely that it was just a prank.
I've just spent an entire day reading the 70 page Troy McClure thread at GNFNR (which I didn't know existed until yesterday) and there's nothing at all to suggest it was a hoax. Strange times.

Personally I don't care if they do this, even if they fuck them. It does seem a little lame tho.
Also the way I read Ron's comments saying "the band" didn't request this, I read to mean the band as a collective didn't, it doesn't mean an individual from the band didn't. I read it this way because he wrote the band in inverted comments and then went on to give the example of Axl being late saying he's waiting too. In other words "the band" isn't responsible for the late starts either.
Anyhow, just my read on it. As I said I don't really care outside of the fact it's pretty lame.
That said it wouldn't surprise me if it was actually Del and/or Fernando either.
I totally read it that way too, as in 'the band' doesn't include Axl. So far, Ron's been the only one with the balls to call Axl's shit publically and I think this was probably something that pissed him off enouhg to bring it up.I think practically the whole band have wives/gfs/kids and the article makes it sounds like they're all hanging out with teens in the jacuzzi after the show.

I have no clue what the fuckin' love affair is for that Hammerstein performance of TWAT. Ever since 2006, I have NEVER gotten the big damn deal about it.
I like Tokyo 2009 and Ireland 2012.
Like I said, it's because he sings it completely effotlessly and is clearly 100% enjoying performing it as opposed to struggling to just get those mid-range notes out. Watch his face and the cheeky grins on lines like 'another woman's bed': he's performing not struggling. And again, like I said, the chainsaw scream at the end sounds effotless and although he can still do a raspy falsetto scream in 2012 it's the only bit of the song he doesn't 'suck ass' on, as he put it.

Better version of Dublin Twat here:
http://soundcloud.com/gnrbootlegs/guns- … was-a-time
At the end Axl says 'That was interesting. You guys sounded great, the crowd sounded great, I pretty much sucked ass...'
Ron says 'You sounded fucking beautiful' in his thick Brooklyn drawl XD
He wouldn't suck if he sang it every night and built strength up in the range he needs for it.

Went to Notts last night, second time i've taken a very sceptical non-fan and they've been blown away whilst i've been bored. It's a great, slick show but when the highlight of the show for you are old new songs like Madagascar you've played bootlegs of a million times since 2001 and you're only about 10 metres from the stage and literally the only person who is even remotely interested in them, let alone singing along dancing it becomes quite a sad experience in many ways. The mix was so bad (as it was at most of the UK shows i've been to bar the O2) that nobody who didn't know the songs would have understood anything Axl was singing in Madagascar or Sorry. Just, meh.

I thought Hamilton was the only 2010 outing and there's only one unlistenable recording?
Sorry I think i was confusing it with the dec 2009 tour.....
Bad recording but you can hear the screams in the middle get a pop from the crowd...
Then there's my favourite version....I think Tokyo 09:
People say he can't sing it...but those screams....sure it's not 100% like the live version...but the passion alone in it....and the way he adds the "yeahhh"...sorry to be fanboy but it really moves me......
:mosh::mosh:
Twat is my fave song period.
The only time he's ever sang it well and comfortably and easily was that first night in 2006 but sadly he didn't do the pre-solo screams and it's only a B quality recording, Ron and the band hadn't had a chance to get it down although his screams at the end wer like a chainsaw.
The worst version vocally by far was Madrid 2006 which was an absolute abortion. Supposedly hamilton was good but we've no good bootleg. Everything since 2009 so far has been really rough. He struggles like fuck on those verses and when it sounds that bad coming boosted through the PA at Dublin I can only imagine what the poor band are getting through their monitors.
It pisses me off that he has never ever once even tried to sing the screaming parts as they are on the album, he comes in early or late, finishes early or late and just makes it up each time. Not cool. Such a shame we'll almost certainly never ever get a great quality recording of a great performance of Twat, Catcher or Prostitute

He still struggled on the verses here: the only time's he's sung it effortlessly was the first time in Hammerstein night 1 2006. Unfortunately he didn't sing the pre-solo screams though but he sounded like a chainsaw on the outro.
#19 Re: Guns N' Roses » Dublin, Ireland, May 17th » 684 weeks ago
Holy crap. That's historic for me. The ONLY reason I was going to Notts and Brum was to camp out down the front and pester them all with Twat signs. I was even gonna give any of them I met at the VIP thing a hug and slily put Twat stickers on their back.
#20 Re: Guns N' Roses » Moscow, Russia (2 Show Discussion) » 684 weeks ago
Bit of an exaggeration to say he's better than 2010 but i'm blown away that he has CLEARLY gotten fit and gotten his voice ready. It's so different to the start of 2011 and even 2009. This I Love isn't quite up there with full-throated versions like Toronto 2010 as he's still relying heavily on falsetto but when he can manage his voices as wel as he does here to minimise stress i'm all for it.
I'd rather he sang like this every night and was still able to do it in 10 years than he try and sing like he did in 2010 all the time and shorten his career.
This makes me really excited for Nottingham next Friday. I've mostly given u hope for new music, vids, interviews etc altogether so i'm just gonna badger him with signs for Twat at the UK shows
