Well, another performer has beat Axl to the punch and released a song called "Jackie Chan":
At least they didn't subtitle it "You snooze, you lose" ...
Jackie Chan is a working title.

I would have used Robin as the Rhythm player and let him play an occasional lead - such his stuff on Better, SOD etc.
Sort of like Brad Whitford - he isn't joe perry but yet plays quite a few of the more memorable leads.
I think Robin's CD solos were pretty good, but he simply wasn't good at emulating slash's parts. I'm not sure if it was by design or simply that he didnt have the chops...but it was a major problem considering something like 90% of the set was Slash parts.
They could have left the Slash leads to someone more suited to the style, then let Robin do his lead licks on the 'new' songs.
I think this would have got the band over a lot better with the general public...a huge amount of the "Axl and the guys who aint slash" reviews were simply because the guitar parts often sounded worse than local cover bands.
He clearly doesn't have the chops, neither did anyone from the NEW GNR era, not even Buckethead. The styles are just different and don't match. The closest one to Slash was Ashba because he would try to play it note by note, but still wasn't close enough.
Robin would have been a decent rhythm guitar player for New GNR, but the thing with guitarists, much like frontmen, they also have an ego, and no one wanted to play Rhythm besides Fortus. Fortus was an unknown humble guitar player by then. He was given a great gig and he didn't mind. It was great enough for him, to make a name for himself.
Robin and Buckethead were established guitar players by then. Robin played in NIN songs and toured with them and Buckethead had an established solo career and played with Primus as well. So they all wanted to be Lead, cause they know that's where the spotlight and where the money is.

Robin's work in Better, TWAT and Street of Dreams are outstanding and way above anything Richard ever wrote IMO. It's kinda crazy when I see you guys dismissing his lead work.

Just because he played in NIN? He wasn't supposed to be just a Classic Rock lead guitar, but he provided the most bluesy moments both live and in the album.
Yes. He tried to adapt and did a so so job doing the bluesy parts, but that was not his original style at all, which is why I think he didn't fit the band. The better solos are very good though.

Finck was not a Classic Rock player. He would have been good for the industrial sounding songs.

What I never got an answer on was where they got that logo / cover artwork.
When you say the logo/cover artwork, are you talking about for Chinese Democracy? Where did a leaker share it?

That was made by Live Free aka Brodie. The guy that had the song.

What was this song?
Axl wrote:I mean it as in being pushed by something and having to get the music to a place where I can find my peace regardless of what anyone says. And that wasn't fully achieved until the last round of mastering and swapping out a version of a track at the pressing plant that had gotten inadvertently changed at the last minute.
You've gotta think this is out there.
I'm inclined to think he's talking about If The World.

If an actual new song leaks in its entirety - "The General," "Silkworms" (not the remix), "Jackie Chan," or anything else - GNR fandom will explode. We'll see tons of new fans join the forums and even more old ones return. It would be the best possible thing for this band, and our community, because it would give us all new insights into Axl's muse. It would also spark new hopes for another album.
With the ChiDem 10th anniversary coming up, I remain optimistic that we'll get either an official box set or a leak from some generous soul.
You're right, but that IF is a big ass distant IF!
