Use Your Illusion

And it's actually made the news... http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/inde...age-board-chat/

Apparently Axl broke his silence on a message board yesterday (whatever), I've only just woken up and am wading through the shit to see if this is legit or not, but it's good for comedic value anyway (the banter at the beginning) http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?showtopic=133058 Check that out, that's where he apparently posted...or a recap of it or something.

There will be no reunion, according to the record label anyway... http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...wsitemID=110650 I honestly believe the album would've done much better with Axl's support - he is one of two people that the world signify with Guns N' Roses and with a shitload of interviews and promo, along with a cool video, this could've been avoided. I'm not saying it would have sold ridiculous amounts, but it would've been successful. You better believe Axl is reading into all of this too, because he's nuts. This shit will send him into seclusion till God knows when.

Hilarious how Axl is just having none of this. He's thrown a massive tantrum by the sounds. Crazy to think that he'd practically piss away all the time he spent on the album because of something his label has done etc. Then again, it's Axl Rose.

Were you referring to Holy Wood as shitty nu-metal?

'The Sun' is reporting that Axl has been silent because he is attempting to reunite the original line up. Not likely, he's probably rocking back and forth in a corner somewhere.

Neat, huh.

More Ortan!

No way, that's the brilliance of it. Y'know, it's Axl trying to get some clarity and head way and all he has is this endless shit being thrown at him, like he's flippin' the channels looking for something and this is all he can get. It's a window into the insanity, I love it. It's just an attempt to make Great Music by someone who isn't good at writing music. Hah.

My World- awesome lyrics.

You don't think the quote section is just a little much? No way, that's the brilliance of it. Y'know, it's Axl trying to get some clarity and head way and all he has is this endless shit being thrown at him, like he's flippin' the channels looking for something and this is all he can get. It's a window into the insanity, I love it. But that's me, I certainly wouldn't look to Madagascar as something to introduce a person to the new GNR straight up though, just like you wouldn't use, say, Locomotive, back in the early 90's. But that song is awesome too, has a lot in common with Madagascar actually. UYI

No he doesn't. I wasn't trying to win you all over with the opinion of Sebastian Bach. I've already admitted in this thread that he's full of it and probably only loves Chinese Democracy because Axl likes him. Bach is GNR's biggest fanboy, only because Axl gives him the time of day. I posted it because I thought he had a sweet sound set-up. I never said he was 'credible'. On with the show, kids.

No, no it doesn't.

Sebastian Bach from his Myspace Blog:

Yeah, well said. Although, I truly believe it was laziness mixed with extreme anal retentiveness and the absolutely insane working environment he had created for himself. I have it somewhere on my computer I think, I have an article with Tom Zutaut, or however he spells it, where he actually details what it was like working for a few months on Chinese Democracy with Axl Rose and the shit he went through, including, but not limited to, chicken coops being built in the studio, Buckethead requesting dog shit and hardcore porn be present (or left there, after a dog took a dump) to inspire him and endless amounts of hired equipment sitting there for weeks on end waiting for Axl to use them. It's a great read, if I find it, I'll post it. With the Madagascar thing, I apologise for saying 'fucking idiot', that was a tad excessive. Although, I personally believe it is a song that would not benefit from being 'toned down'. Not at all.

'Isn't as terrible as Madagascar'. You're a fucking idiot.

I really dig 'This I Love', even if most don't. It's sadder than twenty pandas crammed into a matchbox cage.

There should be 'thumbs up' photos for every major step of the way. Getting into the car to go there, walking inside, picking it up off the shelf, the cash register, leaving the store, back in your car, arriving home, placing it into your CD player for the first time, posting thoughts on here.

See you in another 14, Axl!

He really is out of his mind.

Yeah, and it's worth everytime. Looks fantastic.

I have Chinese Democracy. Axl Rose is still the king. No one can touch this.

I've sampled the new album on MySpace just this morning, sounds amazing. In-depth listen tomorrow. Man, Riad is fuckin' insane.

Still holdin' out, JAxl...little over a day or so to go. I want to hear Scraped, Sorry and This I Love for the first time hot off iTunes.
