Brady's brand is embarrassing snake oil but the guy was in the Super Bowl a minute ago.

Throwing him under the bus already?

Trash.

The shadow band thing is interesting but not that shocking to me.

Guns N' Roses was a corporate entity looking to fend off extinction.

Slash wanted to be a low-brow rock band. Fine.

Axl wanted something more and completely ruined another good thing. Fine.

But very major act you've ever heard of likely had some outside help in some form or another. They then pay extra $$$ to keep it under wraps. News at 11.

Money, bad decision making, Slash marrying Perla, probably.

The fan rumor / theory that Axl is leaving the CD vault for Team Brazil after he croaks so they're taken care of.

It doesn't make sense though. So that means it's probably true.

Yeah, I know, the main point was that it wasn't a coincidence with those three songs constantly popping up.

Or a coincidence why Brain laid down new drum tracks on those over Josh's.

CD was always CD a solid rocker and nothing more, Oklahoma got renamed to Berlin and arguably never got a vocal track. Catcher was mentioned as a lead single once upon a time but Brian May / Robin Finck red tape probably complicated that process.

The songs Axl felt were Chinese Democracy were IRS, TWAT, and The Blues.

The above three: mentioned to Rolling Stone in 2000 (first time he talks song titles proper), always leaked together in bunches, and performed frequently.

It's enough to sell a record. Get it out the door.

It's the fire and ice thing. He wanted to do the Elton Rose thing and then do Axl Reznor stuff.

The problem was Oh My God was rejected, Riad was rejected, and Silkworms was a mess.

I think the first two got rejected unfairly but that's neither here nor there.

Silkworms as first encore? Don't make me laugh.

No show in New GN'R history was as CD heavy as that show. And they played Madagascar which was hot off the presses.
