In case anyone is interested in that I found a link to collection that includes live versions of Dry Jack & I Left My Soul...

Top man, nice one, I'll check these out tonight

Finally checked that list out. I do like Nas getting so high up but I cant really understand Linkin Park being in front of The Beatles. Opinions are subjective I guess but bloody hell, and I'm not even dissing Linkin Park they would probably agree too.

Imagine Axl going to Joe Rogan and using that opportunity to promote new songs. So many stores to share in general and new songs which could be an interesting conversation starters..
I mean, how many people casually listen to that podcast and would just check out new songs, great promotion opportunity to people who don't just turn on interviews and TV..
But again, I might be wrong..
Not really a huge fan of Rogan but lets face it we would all watch it and listen if Axl went on, I find it hard to believe he wouldnt have asked him. The amount of people Rogan has gotten to go on his show, I almost think if he cant get Axl to do a long form sit down then nobody can.
Shows coming up in the states soon so perhaps

We spent time with Manny Charlton from Nazareth. He came over because we were thinking bout having him produce the record. We were in the studio for two and a half days and we did everything live. We recorded 25 or 30 tunes. We never did anything with that album but we have the masters to it. It's something where we'll go back and pick through it. A lot of the stuff that comes out when your just jamming as a band is the best.Obviously AFD songs are in there but maybe it still leaves a couple
Weren't the Sound City sessions produced by Manny Charlton? I believe these are the demos Izzy is talking about here. The amount certainly checks out (25 songs, 34 if counting alternate takes & uncirculated songs)
I believe they were, however I agree with Polluxlm tbf I just dont believe they have that many pre CD era songs lying around that we dont know about. I only posted the Izzy quote as I happened to be reading some stuff on the Chopaway forum and found it interesting.

According to Wikipedia Slash recorded his guitar parts for that Barbie song with Mike Clink: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I%27m_Just_Ken
Quite possible it was something they did on the side while recording something proper...
I think that's likely. I cant think why he would have him involved just for one song for a soundtrack that he only plays a solo on & it be just that.
it's guess work but I wonder if he has suggested him to Axl for something and maybe used his solo stuff as attempt to reach out to the guy again. Still find it hard to believe there will ever be a new album though.
I would be surprised if Mellissa sings on one of the songs off this Slash album.

It was disappointing that it didn’t end up on Ain’t Life Grand. But I think it was actually morphed into the SMKC song Stone Blind, on World On Fire.
Havent listened to SMKC for a while but i just checked and your clearly right. Hmmm wonder if I could salvage Rod Jacksons vocals and put them on there. The song seems quite different to the Snakepit one but it's clear from the intro what it used to be.
That's the very first I hear of '99 Times'. Is it on YouTube somewhere?
I dont think so. Was going to PM you this but i'll leave it here incase anyone else wants a listen. They never recorded it apperently, i only ever heard this boot which i tried to boost and improve a bit a while back. It looks like it became that SMCK song but I much prefer Rod Jacksons voice

There are others like Dry Jack but i dont have them laying around. They may have become SMCK tunes as well

Between that...the way Aint Life Grand was repackaged when it wasn't used....how Ghost came from a VR demo....I don't think Slash sits on stuff the way Axl does....it makes me wonder about this concept of an unused 1987 GNR record that they are said to be finishing up now. I'd believe maybe a song or two dates from then....but I don't buy slash was sitting on an AFD2 worth of riffs for the past 9 albums given how he remakes good ideas when people won't listen to him.
I just think Tom Mayhue misspoke. Pretty sure he meant Chinese era songs and not AFD. Who knows? I'd need to hear it from at least two sources before I believed it tbh.
Having said that Izzy said this in 1988 https://web.archive.org/web/20070307024 … tpm88.html

Joe Rogan bumped into Axl in Greece so maybe he invited Axl to do a podcast and we can find out, I doubt it though

joerogan. Was in Greece on vacation and randomly ran into Axl Rose at a restaurant. He invited us to see @gunsnroses in Athens, and it was FUCKING AMAZING. They went HARD for 3 hours in the blazing heat and the crowd was incredible. If you have a chance to see them near you I can’t recommend it enough.

Song wise I think the only thing of worth left over from thoses days that we need in actual decent quality is a version of Ain't Goin Down with vocals. I think Axl said himself they wanted to "put it all out". I find Mayhues claims about multiple AFD era songs left over unlikely. I suspect he mispoke and meant Chinese era songs
One song I remember....
Nightcrawler
Only got a couple mentions back in the day and was of course absent from speculated tracklists in the lead up to UYI.
Nightcrawler turned into Speed Parade by Snakepit according to Canter, also Slash said years back that Ain't Life Grand was a meant to be a GN'R tune called Burnout but Adler couldnt play it.
I dont know maybe some of the unrecorded Snakepit stuff like 99 Times could have started out as GN'R tunes

I really hope so, his tone doesn't seem anywhere near what it used to be
Is that a conscious decision?
I'm not sure but I put on the 2nd snakepit album last week and it was like "wow! Where did this sound go"" looking forward to this album more than anything he's done for ages though. Wonder if Adler might get a song or two
