When you put it that way, Axl seems to have more of an issue the UYI's than with Appetite.
true, because whilst during AFD, they were all fucked up (axl included)....he had cleaned up his act for UYI...whilst the others were still heavily addicted....so its a selfish reason...he cannot blame their substance abuse for AFD alone cause he was actively involved in it too...
Yoda passed on on 01/18/07, while Axl had made it to New York to finish up the recording. Whether or not she'd had health problems before the event or whether that information reached Axl's ear in late '06 is anyone's guess.
But Axl did lose both Merck and Mrs. Maynard when the finish line was finally in sight. Now he'll have to handle it by himself.
sorry, i meant 2007....i'm almost 100% positive the woman's death threw him off track for a while....
@Neemo....the CR article clearly showed Axl's obsession with a "clean", untarnished record....drinking is ok, because he does it....if he was against alcohol, then that would be a problem too...i read somewhere that people aren't even allowed to smoke cigarettes when he's around....because he doesn't like it...it wouldn't surprise me if one or other studio engineer got his ass fired off the project cause he liked to light one up during coffee breaks....
this guy is nuts....and its his mental instability which is the sole reason for this record's delay....nothing else but that...if a slack, easy going and basically clueless Slash can release 4 full length albums in the last 10 years....it goes to show what mess Axl Rose is in mentally....

The album could be finished and if it is I wouldn't be surprised if it is still in the clutch's of Axl's hands. The problem with this is as long as Axl is in possession of this album he will be tempted to change something else...thus the album will never be done.
Axl wanting to change things for the sake of "perfection" as some refer to it was never a problem....him changing shit because a certain member of the team leads a "negative" energy lifestyle is a massive issue...
one thing that CR article showed is that Rose is after a perfect selection of people....clean, non smokers, non drug users...non porn watchers....weird when they need to be...but "normal" at any other time....yes men...deep pocketed record execs....and the list goes on....
an impossible task even for Axl Rose....
this record was changed so many times, because he didn't want some guitar or drum part which was inspired by tits and ass on tv to be in it....madness.....
i wouldn't be surprised if this thing was changed so many times due to karmic issues that it became negative in its energy for that reason only.....so the only way to get rid of that is to redo the whole fucker from scratch....which is what might have been happening....
the irony of the whole lot is how he doesn't appear to mind belting out Jungle and ISE and cashing in still to this day on those sings which were fuelled by nothing other than substance abuse.....that energy seems to suit him just fine....
one thing i didn't see anyone mention as a potential hurdle is when Sharon Maynard (Yoda) died in early 06....this was the year we all expected the record....and her death must have sent him into a never-ending spin....what the fuck is he going to do now without his spiritual security guard...
#393 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE Negotiating For More Money Before Releasing 'Chinese Democrac » 962 weeks ago
My guess is he is negotiating for money, I dunno why though,
because he "purposefully" lost the court case for GH....to get Uni to officially say that they were recouping their CD money off of it....so it could easily be that he is thinking that considering Uni got their "Axl investment" back...its time for a new deal...
or, it could also be that he only owes them one record...but he wants to flog 3...or even 4....at the same time....so he wishes to sell them all off at once, whereas Interscope may want only one of them, to meet their honoured clause in the contract....which again requires a whole new contract...
regardless of the situation...i think that its Axl who is again holding up the process, not the record company....the ball may be in their court....but he'll only play by his invented rules...which change every time a stronger wind comes around....meaning that if they don't....then he won't play at all....
depression...silence...hiding away.....say hello to all that...
all while CD is getting older....lets just hope that it ages as well as Appetite has....so when we get it in 10 years time....its still relevant...
#394 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE Negotiating For More Money Before Releasing 'Chinese Democrac » 962 weeks ago
i completely agree with madagas on this one....its just another speculation based on other speculations....
think about it this way....let's assume that the record has been handed in....if it has....the big boys at universal/interscope have heard it many times over....analysed it....and perhaps even immediatelly made a decision on whether this is sellable to the mainstream music consumers or not....
so if they are in negotiations STILL....after the record execs have heard it....its not a good indication, and could mean one of two things:
1. the album sucks. so not worth 13 mil and 14 years.
2. axl is being unreasonable, hence the gridlock....
i hope its the second of the two....but then again, i reckon there is no way under the sun that the entire album (including repro ready design material) has been handed in....not a chance in hell....a few tracks maybe....but the final final product.....naaah...
#395 Re: Guns N' Roses » AXL ROSE Negotiating For More Money Before Releasing 'Chinese Democrac » 962 weeks ago
I have been saying along that CD is still not handed in.
bingo.
#396 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover! » 962 weeks ago
i just hate the way they "attempted" to photoshop the mic out of Axl's hand on the cover photo and the same photo later on in the article....they should get a better designer...
#397 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover! » 962 weeks ago
also, another thing which had me wondering....if he has "vibe sniffers" like we thought he always had....are they able to "sniff" online forums...and decide which ones carry best intentions...?
he definitely got screwed on that one, cause "that other forum" carries more negative energy than any other i've seen so far....maybe that's why Beta chose to update Classic Rock with info, and not the "holy grail" of fanbase collections....
#398 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover! » 962 weeks ago
just read this thing....interesting to say the least....
i have to stand behind Bucket on this one....yes, at first glance, it may appear bizzare or weird, or whatever you want to call it...but my impression was that he was almost doing those things on purpose (enjoying dog shit) just to piss of RTB, and those who didn't like him in the studio....not really because he really is that whacked out....
as far as porn goes...i have to tell you that once upon a time, me and a few mates sampled a few audio tracks from a porno movie, and put together a melody of all melodies just from all the "aaah's" and "ooooh's" we got off the tape....its common knowledge that soundtracks to porn flicks are fucking wicked....(all that acid jazz)....and i wouldn't be surprised if BH found the wird creativity behind items like that.....
if he was masturbating to this shit in the studio....that would be sick and weird....but watching porn...?.....please....
Axl reaction to it was more of a concern to me....he doesn't want music which has been tainted by negative "porn energy" to be recorded.....is just fucked up....
what i loved is how they finally confirmed what i;ve been saying on these forums for years....that BH was the perfect and ideal replacement for Slash....both in terms of image, style, and skill.....and everyone knew that....most of all...BH knew that....
and that's why he came up with this weird shit for them to do for him.....cause he knew he was the chief daddy that they all wanted....and the sick side of his sense of humor thought why the fuck shouldn't he fuck with them a little....to see how far he could go....
i guess porn was just one step too far....
overall, it was a great article....pitty Zutaut never made it, it would have been a great comeback story if it worked out...
