I remember ROV launching during the 05/06 leak period. One of it's big draws was links to them could openly be posted

Recent report from the airport. Sad and desperate

Wow.
It is scary that this album...which is a monster already in its original form....could have easily been improved in the mixing phase.
Found this out when watching this documentary....
Album should've got a rerelease in 92-93 with a different mix....they could've milked it for another year.
Love the opening 1991 footage showing fans. Really makes me long for that time. Such an amazing world back then.
In that video you linked they mention the orchestra mix at like the 43 minute mark. I think we're basically getting that alternate album mix with this release. Exciting times.

he introduced the Killers at some award show
I hadn't thought of that in a coon's age.
It was awkward as hell.
He gets a semi-decent crowd pop but kills it with his awkwardness once getting up there.
It was short.... that's all it had going for it.
I remember the forums going ape shit at the time.

Another sign some shit was actually on the launchpad in 06. It's only getting arranged for him to do stuff like this if something was in the works.

Friction at airport between US & UK forces Commanders.
US forces won't leave airport due to Taliban deal.
2 Para still running patrols into Kabul to collect people from safe houses.
US unhappy with Paras saying it puts their deal at risk.
Things are so bad between US and UK forces at Kabul Airport, #Afghanistan, 2 Para have been tasked to observe US forces in case they leave at short notice.

2 Para OC had a screaming match with 82nd Airbourne CO.
Paras VERY unhappy at treatment of Afghans by US forces.
Meanwhile, 2 Para are running constant patrols into Kabul to collect British, Irish and Afghan Nationals due for evacuation.

Any other nationality also picked up if at location. Taliban are aware of patrols and taking no action.
UK forces very much running own operation. #OSINT
Priti Patel may only want 5000 Afghans this year, but UK Troops on the ground have orders to:

"Ignore numbers and get as many people out as possible."
They've been told by diplomats that the Home Office can sort out paperwork later.
US Rank & File Soldiers at Kabul Airport, #Afghanistan are incandescent at the position taken by US Central Command regarding evacuations.
— Alex Tiffin (@RespectIsVital) August 18, 2021
They are extremely frustrated they can't join 2 Para & the small army of military contractors they've assembled to rescue people in Kabul.
UK Diplomats at Kabul Airport last night requested if Australian & German planes use empty space on their aircraft to take British evacuees, no answer was given and Luftwaffe plane left with 7 people & RAAF plane with 26.
— Alex Tiffin (@RespectIsVital) August 18, 2021
UK had offered to pay for dropping off at UK bases.

Sounds like a serious lack of coordination between allied forces and frustration with US top brass and their handling + mission objectives.

I found the video in this thread both a little funny but also tragic in light of recent events. The complete wrong types were sent in to that army and were deployed into the field way too early, before those habits were trained out of them.
#317 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl doesnt consider CD a guns n roses album anymore » 201 weeks ago
Dumb thread, inaccurate quote, putting words in Axl's mouth, and a waste of everyone's time.
Yeah. It is the first time in 30 years "we" i.e. Axl, Slash & Duff have put out a new song together.
#318 Re: Guns N' Roses » Ron Thal talks "Absurd" » 201 weeks ago
Yeah we already heard BBF's version of silkworms from 06 it leaked in like 2013. Very poorly mixed the person put all of ron's guitar just in the left channel so it is pretty much impossible to get it to sound right. It was also played at the after party where The General leak was. I am surprised out of all songs, Silkworms was being worked on for 20 years lol However the silkworms from The General leak had more guitars so it must have gotten worked on some more hmmm. Wonder if we will ever hear the 08 versions of these songs. Would rather hear the 03 versions, but knowing this band if there ever is a boxset it will be the Ashba Versions
Not really fair to call that BBF's version of Silkworms. It was a sketch track with the song panned all the way to one side and him adding ideas or things he could play over it at certain time points in the song. He'll have probably done more than one of those and eventually when in an actual studio tracked a whole bunch more.
We actually have no idea how an end BBF/Ashba era Absurd sounded.

My thoughts too. I'd rather have the stuff that was written about how they all hated each other. That at least had some fire behind it at the time. Same with whatever things they recorded instrumentally in 94-96, they had a lot more to prove then.
60 years olds inspired by reunion payoffs and divorces? Not so exciting.
So all the other bands that are huge don't have things to write about either lol
If Axl, Slash and Duff cant find anything to write about then they should just hang it up.Its crazy the excuses some GNR fans make for GNR.
Dude, I'm not making excuses. I'm pointing out as fans of this band and particularly, since we all stuck around through this decades long saga, fans of music written and sung by Axl Rose that we should be happy with whatever we get.
Those other bands can still get together and write collectively as a group? Good for them. The band we like hasn't operated that way since 86. If they tried it could go well or it could lead to this all falling apart and us getting nothing.
Hopefully we get the vault unloaded as a new album and some years down the line this leads to either a proper boxset release or eventually leaks.
