Before it's all over I hope we get State of Grace and a rock version of Eye on You too.....seems unlikely but then if they can turn Silkworms into Absurd it's not impossible.

My guess is that a filmmaker's narrative would be offensive as untrue to Axl and Axl's version of the truth would shit on the other members too hard.

I'd love them to do a version of history like the book version of "The Dirt" where each of the guys kinda told it their own way...but there's just way too much going on and it's all too personal. Plus like with Slash's version of life in his book you'd only ever get the PG version not the NC-17 take we all know really happened.

An example to me is how when Izzy left Axl was hanging with that Sharon woman and doing some type of spirituality readings on everything..just when you wanna put it in the "Axl is crazy" file you read Niven mentioning he did do some voodoo on Axl with Izzy down in new orleans...

Where do you start lol.

I can't speak for him but I always took it to mean advanced as in what we consider to be GNR.

Like AFD era GNR means raw guitars plugged into loud amps in the spirit of Aerosmith etc.

By UYI era Axl forced that to also include Elton John and Queen style music.

I think the plan was that it was to next include stuff like prodigy, NiN, and maybe a side order of Ice Cube or something.

But he knew it wasn't going to be an easy sell to the audience who likes them for what they did originally.

I remember in his talk about the 3 albums he was speaking that way too, of moving further and further away from the traditional sound each album.

But I mean without the original guys on board he was faced with a mamoth task to try and recreate one of the best bands in history, while changing it's style of music into an area that was both new and frankly not what the existing band was good at. So he's going to face push back from the original band, the label, the media and the fans for that.....all this while being a guy from a bad background, poor education, with his own mental health problems, in an industry of con men and thieves, junkies, and suddenly being one of the most famous people on the planet....

Is it any wonder that failed? It's just impossible. Bad idea all along I guess, but if thats what he wanted to do, that's what he wanted to do.

The real shame to me is that they could have sorted out their shit and moved on around 2004 - back when there was still some game left in everyone. A reunion back then and we may have seen a lot more music I think.

To me those tracks belong as Slash and Duff tracks, the same way most of Slash's solo stuff belonged as Axl songs.

It's a shame we've had to wait our whole lives for them to co-operate again, and both of them went down fruitless searches to recreate the chemistry they already found.

To me if they remake these songs they just make them closer to what they always should have been (all be it - not quite the same as I think 1990s slash/duff would have done them).

I think whoever bullied Bucket head should have been fired.

Then whoever bullied bumblefoot should have been fired a second time.

Too much bullshit surrounding this band.
