True Axl was only ranting about his perception of whatever was happening. But he did acknowledge stuff like leaks even though only about 3 per show heard them. I guess they were a thorn to recomp but Axl said he was ok with them. They probably put pressure on the rec comp in some way.

Nah. They play shows for 60,000 people. There’s probably about 300 people who heard the leaks.
It would be a downloading mofos type intro. I remember Axl saying I think sarcastically the tour was based off the Better leak. It got some kind of reaction. Maybe news reports is how everyone knows but they weren’t putting the Betterleak on repeat.
But this does lead to the impact of the leaks. Do they keep things going with no album out or is it that leaks go into the same box as no interest in music. Like when Metallica played Cyanide live before an album I was like holy shit but then I realized oh Metallica nerds aren’t that surprised.
Axl also talked about the rec comp and old band members live. I’m not sure they really knew what he was talking about.

Yup, the second Axl says "This is from our new album..." on stage it'll spread round the internet like wildfire. They have to be ready to move straightaway. Actually coming up with a coherent promo plan, like normal bands do, would go a long way towards eliminating the sour taste left by the fiasco that was Chinese Democracy's release.
What is a basic promo plan these days?
Single on iTunes, do they do a video? Or is streamed on FB? Would I get it via Apple Music?
I was listening to Body Count’s Blood Lust album. I only just realized it was out. 2 years late.

You could be right .... but I think as long as its something moderately catchy they can't go too far wrong ...
Album lives or dies on artistic merits predominantly for me
Well, most of the forums are of wealth and taste but I’m talking about tricking the masses into all buying the new album in the same two week window. Mobilize the market so Guns can be No 1 on the Billboard charts. Then we can all get our bike shorts and Axl converse out of the closet. We been languishing in the shadows for too long, we will have our day in the sun. Green Day better duck.

I think there’s a Bannon movie coming out by the same guy who did Vice.
If Oliver Stone does it will be a cross between Natural Born Kilkers, JFK and Nixon.

Fuckin’ Hippies!
The Manson family were SJWs and then Rick and Cliff were Republicans/Alt right and Polanki and Tate are Dems.
Tarantino should do a movie about drinking in Space next.

Be nice to have Izzy at least credited on a song or two. They would kick ass and lend further legitimacy.
Still fascinated to see the involvement if any of Paul Huge.
I guess it’s run times and putting singles up front. First 5 songs on CD are the singles. Maybe not the right ones cos Catcher, Sorry, TIL, IRS, Madagascar might have been better. But those first 5 are rounded off.
Supposedly Axl has 3-4 of Izzy’s songs. I think instead of an experimental track do an Izzy acoustic, instead of a Bucket song like Scraped do an Izzy Rock n roll song. Bring in those AFD fanatics. It separates it. But maybe that’s the next record? They could have 10 more records if Axl just sang on Izzy solo records with Slash playing.
Huge could’ve written parts of Atlas and Perhaps. I don’t think may got a credit for Catcher. Maybe even State of Grace. Seems like a Huge/ Finck song.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see an Izzy or Huge writing credit. There’s normally a random writer too. Freese and Brain will pop up. Bucket certainly. Dizzy may have written that Perhaps piano. Whereas As It Began sounds like Axl.
With regard to May not getting writing credit for his parts, that’s par for the course in GnR land...a solo does not get you a writing credit. It gets you a “Thanks for the killer solo(s)” in the liner notes.
That’s true but also common practice. It’s not really Axl doing that to Slash or May.
But it means who wrote Atlas with Axl?
So I can see Slash and Duff bringing some songs. But on the other hand do records make enough money to worry about credits. I think it will take the lack of a record to affect tour ticket sales.
