Re: GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover!
and it is pretty obvious that what Axl has wanted to do with this record has not actually happened....but, that doesn't mean he didn't have ideas of what he wanted to do. And what he wants to do holds more weight than what Zutuat wants to do. Am I correct on that?
Re: GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover!
I'm not saying Zutuat is/was in control. However he is more believable because he was a neutral party in the situation who got to see what was going on. If he says 10-11 songs is what was ready for an album in 01-02, I believe it. That is a progress report 6 years overdue. Its on a different level than the "3 good songs" line from Ezrin. The Ezrin statement is an opinion.
Axl can have all the ideas in the world. No one can fault him for that. I just prefer hearing about the reality of what was going down than any trilogy visions that unfortunately never happen.
Maybe Axl did want CD to be 18 songs plus the bonus tracks. Now we know that just wasn't feasible in that timeframe.
Re: GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover!
well the way i see it was that Axl had his grand "Vision" and Zutaut was the reality check
Axl has also said that he was being pushed into things he didnt want to do...maybe this is one of those things that He and Zutaut didnt agree on...maybe it even led to Zutaut being Fired 
Re: GNRevolution Exclusive! Classic Rock Feb Mag Cover!
Zoot is talking straight...there are a ton of sources who have said nothing was ever being completed. Bandmembers as well. Zoot also is just saying that there were 11-12 close to completion. He was not talking about or giving an opinion on the quality of all of the material. In the end, all you had was just a ton of instrumentals with various rough vocal sketches over them in various stages of completion. In reality, the whole project is a fantasy because we still don't have an album! All I'm sayin is that there really is no record until the artist finishes it and a record company approves the tracklisting then sets it for release. Until then, all you have is a bunch of individual songs in various stages of completion. Lots of artists have had grand aspirations that didn't come to fruition. Go read about The Who's lifehouse project which ultimately turned in to Who's Next. Townsend had 30-40 songs then eventually went a little crazy. They finally took just 9 songs and released it as Who's Next. The leftover tracks eventually surfaced on regular albums and b-side compilations. Personally, I would take ten powerhouse tracks over 2-3 albums of varying quality.

The trilogy thing started with the London 02 comment, please find me a quote from anyone in the band who mentions "trilogy" or says specifically 3 albums prior to that.....before that it was just multiple albums of material-70 songs-etc. It doesn't matter anyway. Like James said, if that first album isn't a) critically acclaimed or b) a strong seller, we probably won't see album two.

Some might say, A has already been met.

As far as I am aware, alot of the work for CD took place in the last few years, post the Zutaut era. That makes the Classic Rock article nothing more than tabloid blood for the gossip vampires.

if thats the case, we have no idea what we what could be in store or what changes might have happened. we do know Ron and Frank have made their "presence felt" on the songs.
