What happened to all of the cool new up and coming type of bands GNR used to take on tour? Faith No More, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails. Fuck Axl even tried to get NWA on tour with him.

This is a bit...limp

maybe Perla had an insider on the production team on Chinese Democracy

Lucky they didn't use the superman intro to scraped

I bet you there are a 1001 alternative samples in different mixes in the vault, Axl just happened to agree on one that was not an original.

I still find it pathetic that nothing has been said about the tour

I don't listen to GNR that much any more. Sad, really. But then there's quite a few of the 'older' bands I'll go through phases of listening to - AC/DC, Maiden, Metallica etc

I listened to the leaks quite a lot, but its only occasionally on now, and then I tend to listen to three or four of the tracks

I remember when 'Better' first got leaked. That was probably the most exciting time in the new era, I literally couldn't do any work I was so pumped up.

The problem, the way I see it, is that ( and this is just my perception) Axl hardly gives a shit. Sometimes even the best projects die if there is no enthusiasm - its infectious you know?

Now if Axl came out totally rocking on the new tour, and released a double album and succession of new videos It'd probably enough...failing that, I think we all know what would really light the fire again......
