#31 Re: Guns N' Roses » Hard Skool: Does it date from ‘96? » 149 weeks ago
Axl introduced Hard Skool in Sevilla this summer with "Here’s a new song I wrote about 20 years ago!". If it was written with Slash/Duff he would have said "we"...
Also they would have deleted the credits of Robin/Tommy/Paul if they weren't the real writers - just like they did with Pitman on Silkworms

When did he say that? I must have missed that interview.
Tommy quotes on the subject. Took awhile to find it....
Stinson says that there's "a bunch" of GNR material written and still waiting to be recorded -- "some of it worthy of finishing, some of it probably not" -- in addition to 22 songs recorded during the "Chinese Democracy" process that were not included on the album
...
"There's some stuff with lyrics, some without," he says. "We did a lot of stuff that was supposed to be on Chinese Democracy – the record was meant to be more than one disc, but after spending so much time on it we just had to put an end to it.
There's also stuff that was held over from the original lineup] before they all disbanded, so there's some stuff that should someday see the light of day."
Thank you for finding it. I forgot all about it, but remember having read it a while ago.
So basically it's 22 finished songs that weren't on CD
+ a bunch of material that partially includes lyrics
+ original line-up leftovers
Let's hope they'll reconsider doing a box-set with all that stuff once the touring is completely over in 20 years...

#34 Re: Guns N' Roses » Does anyone else kinda miss the 09-14 lineup? » 152 weeks ago
When Ashba came in it was the beginning of the end for me. That's when the CD vision got buried and the nostalgia touring began. What I really miss is the 2002 or 2006 line-up.
#35 Re: Guns N' Roses » Sympathy for the Devil recording date? » 152 weeks ago
lash claimed that Axl got the idea for GNR recording the song after seeing a screening of the film
I remember that differently. They initially had the Stones version of the song but someone involved wanted to get GNR to cover it. Axl initially balked and then changed his mind.
I remember reading a Slash interview where he said he watched the movie with the Stones version and said he didn't understand why Axl wanted to do a cover, as the movie was "fine" with the original. I think he considered it a favor to Axl..
But anyways, you know what would have been cool? Opening the Not In This Lifetime tour with the song live...
Edit: Nope, apparently Axl really didn't want to do it either, before he saw he movie. The request came from Tom Zutaut:

#36 Re: Guns N' Roses » What’s your opinion of the Spaghetti Incident? Rank the tracks! » 153 weeks ago
I really like the record and wish they would play more of it live. Do Ain't It Fun or Since I Don't Have You already. They were singles and have never been played live. Would make way more sense than playing random ACDC covers...
My ranking:
Ain't It Fun
Down On The Farm
I Don't Care About You
Raw Power
New Rose
Black Leather
Attitude
Since I Don't Have You
Human Being
You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory
Hair Of Dog
Look At Your Game Girl
Buick Makane
#37 Re: Guns N' Roses » What are your opinions of HS and Absurd? » 156 weeks ago
Both b-sides and outtakes in any era of the band.
Outtakes may sound a bit harsh, but yeah B-Sides. There was a reason both songs didn't make it on CD, and considering what else they had in store (at least instrumentally), it's hard to see that they would have been anything more than filler if they made it on CD2.
Slash & Duff have improved Absurd at least to the Bumblefoot version, but I still prefer Silkworms with the original Chorus over both.
With Hard School. Slash's additions made the song definitely worse for me. His lead melody sounds uninspired and boring. The Village Version may not have been perfect/finished, but showed at least more potential in my opinion. They also should not have Frank redo the drums either.
#38 Re: Guns N' Roses » Duff's Neurotic Outsiders album getting re-released » 163 weeks ago
Great news indeed! I wonder if this version of Spanish Ballroom has vocals. I also haven't heard the clean version of Jerk before. I'll definitely check it out
#39 Re: Guns N' Roses » Brian May talks ChiDem » 163 weeks ago
No version that we know of that is...
Tommy talked in an interview about him working with Brian on Riad in the studio. Apparently Brian couldn't figure out his weird chords...
#40 Re: Guns N' Roses » Brian May talks ChiDem » 165 weeks ago
Perhaps sounds like Robin. Apparently Rhiad was the third song he worked on
