That's completely sad and I feel for the families and relatives of the ones killed or hurt, in any form, by this.
Isn't this the same city of Columbine?
#832 Re: Guns N' Roses » DJ ASHBA: Writing New Material Is 'Definitely Our Main Focus Right Now » 675 weeks ago
The difference I see (regardless of what was written before) is that almost all of it was written by the guys that recorded it. Not so much if there's another album from those sessions. Some of those guys have been gone for a decade. Think about that...
Yeah, that's a shame. It feels like a crooner album, kinda like Sinatra, in some form. It kinda loses the 'feel' and the raw to it and I completely agree with you.

Please describe "completed" or "earlier origins".
There's piano and acoustic versions of November Rain from the era before Appetite was recorded. If you say it's only completed after the horns and strings arrangements, perhaps that's the same with all CD era songs and vault, since they're all full of it? We'll never know, to be honest. It was mentioned on interviews that You Could Be Mine was kept for future releases and was ready to AFD.
"Completed" is a term that means different things for you, for me and, surprisingly, even for Axl.
If you want just to bash, it's ok, but don't try to act like you're not being almost irrational on your arguments just to try to prove a point.
And, still, you didn't reply my question.

No more ridiculous than releasing it in 2008.
Well, CD was 4(+) years 'fresher' in 2008 than its successor can be if that's old material again. I get your point though. If they wrote an album when Bumble joined, even that would be old material by now.
Did you feel this way about You Could Be Mine, Don't Cry and November Rain, just to name a few, when they were released in 91, given they were written in 85, BEFORE Appetite?
#835 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tommy Video Interview From Hellfest » 675 weeks ago
It was not an interview per se, it was a brief talk for the endorser, ESP, who now has a Tommy Stinson bass!
It was MARKETING, not an interview.
#836 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tommy Video Interview From Hellfest » 675 weeks ago
Yeah, in 2010 in Porto Alegre he was a class act on the short stay around here. Got to talk to him and Bumble quickly. Even after the disastrous loss of a friend at the night of the show, Tommy was polite and, obviously, devastated by the occurrence.

Most of lyrics in ChinDem sound like reactions to betrayal and mistrust.
Even This I Love ("now I don't know why she wouldn't say goodbye"), Scraped ("you're more than they tell you"), etc.
It may not be true in fact, but that seems to be his feeling for the last 15+ years: he was betrayed.

Monkey, I have the same feeling and interpretation of the songs on CD, and I think it's really genuine and truthful.
Thanks guys!
By the way that wasn't a stupid question. Nothing is wrong with trying to interpret a song and trying to understand why lyrics were structured a certain way or how the artist felt during the process of writing & recording it. Makes for great discussion!
Thanks for that! Funny thing is I've questions like this all the time! Gonna start asking them!

Today I was coming to work and Better started playing on the radio.
Long time since I paid attention while listening to the song.
The lyrics got me confused, but perhaps it's my English:
"All that I wanted was
Now I know you better
You know I know better
Now I know you better"
My problem of interpretation: what's the deal with "All that I wanted was"?
Does it mean that all that was wanted doesn't exist anymore?
It feels to me like there's something missing, like
"All that I wanted was [something]".
