These videos are from Philly, not from the Hiro Ballroom, correct?

Remember when people started booing Axl and Billy Joe from Green Day told them "Shut the fuck up, he's one of the greatest frontmen to ever touch a microphone"? Man... what a fanboy.
Billie Joe Armstrong: the ultimate Axlite.

Axl, please: shut up already!
Why don't you release statements regarding a new album?

One of them mentioned that if you'd listen to CD and the follow up (as it was tracklisted back then) non-stop it would seem like the same album.
Then why are you worried about the album sounding like OMG and SW?
Because the band has been rehearsing/ready to play Oh My God and things change, specially on GN'R world. On my fantasy land, that's still the tracklist and the way things flow on the next record and Oh My God and Silkworms are released as B-Sides or itunes only.

You mean in a good way or a bad way?
I feel both this and silkworms are a little more organic on the musical side than much of CD ended up being. This is what the new band brought to the table, while a lot of CD stuff is them trying to be the old band. I think that's supported by both OMG and Silkworms absence from CD after first being released as a single and then being 2/5 of the new songs presented in Rio.
On the positive side Axl has said that the next album will be more experimental. What seems to have happened is the new sound didn't get the reception he had hoped, so he lumped all the more accessible material on CD when it became apparent he had to release something.
Mixed emotions. I've people close to me who work for Universal in Brazil and have ALLEGEDLY heard songs from a follow up BEFORE Chinese was released. They even mentioned song titles that only the hardcore GNR followers would know (Atlas, Seven, Thyme) and they're DEFINETLY not followers, so that grants them some credibility to me. Anyway, they said that the songs they've heard were "epic", "heavy on guitars and synth" and "orchestration all around, higher vocals than on CD"...
If you listen carefully to Silkworms, except for epic and the higher vocals, you have everything they've mentioned. And if Silkworms is the way to go, I'll be disapointed.
BUT they've mentioned that Atlas, Seven and Thyme are closer to Prostitute and Madagascar arrangements than the other songs on CD. One of them mentioned that if you'd listen to CD and the follow up (as it was tracklisted back then) non-stop it would seem like the same album.

Shivers down my spine seeing this video and imagining something along these lines between Axl and Slash.
Imagine if we'd get something like the "Some Kind of Monster" doc?

Live Era convinced me fake live albums can be a good thing. This is much better than the album version:
Always wanted to hear what this album would have sounded like. Lyrics on the level of his best UYI work and a new distinct sound. One of the heaviest songs ever produced under the moniker.
I have so MANY mixed emotions about Oh My God. Clearly sounds like a draft, inconsistent and lacks a hook but in the other hand is so far away from what we've got on Chinese that it makes me wonder the type and quality of the material on the vault.

I've heard it back in Rio in 2001!
But I wasn't very pleased...

South America & Australia seem to be rock hungry, and I agree it's a beast. Axl could drop the name, and i'm convinced still headline massive venues.
Europe i'm still caucious of, and am reserving comment on.
I'll be watching and waiting to see what happens. I don't know if this jaunt will be effortless. Alot of pissed off diehards in that region who bought tix before Axl's big dump.
The smartest thing about these touring schedules of GN'R with the Lebeis on it:
GN'R plays festivals on major markets or Multiple concerts in smaller venues (such as France)
AND
Cities where GNR never played before.
It's a win-win situation for them and a very smart move. They even did this in Brazil in 2010: instead of fewer shows in stadiums (as in Argentina, Chile, etc) they played in smaller venues (except for Sao Paulo and Rio) and did more concerts.
