I'm not sure if this was posted already, since its an apr 29 article, it mentions also about GH going platinum. www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/upcoming_releases/gnr_demo_cd.html

here is the link, I'll just copy it over.  According to Navarre.com and Amazon.com, Cleopatra Records has set a June 1 release date for "The Roots Of Guns N' Roses", a collection of the very first demos recorded by Axl Rose and Izzy Stradlin before they became Guns N' Roses.
 
 
The album features five demo recordings that haven?t been heard in decades, plus new remixes by former GN'R member Gilby Clarke. These rare tracks showcase the raw talent of Axl and Izzy that was just beginning to blossom into GN'R.

The story of Guns N' Roses began when L.A. Guns founder Tracii Guns introduced guitarist Chris Weber to Izzy Stradlin in the parking lot of the Rainbow Bar And Grill. After jamming together at Izzy's place, the two decided to form a band and recruited a vocalist, Bill Bailey, better known to most as Axl Rose. Together, they drew inspiration from the diverse musical scene emerging in Hollywood and, with the help of drummer Johnny Kreis, recorded a demo under the name Hollywood Rose.

For years these demos have remained in the vault, never appearing on CD. Now, Cleopatra Records is bringing these raw recordings to the masses. As a special bonus, Gilby Clarke took these recordings back to the studio and polished up the rough edges.

Wow! Thanks. Too bad it's only five songs. There are some more early demos around from that era. Live like a suicide and afd. Hope it someday appear.

Just checked Amazon. The release date has been pushed back to June 22.

Hey guys i'm a little confused. I read an article in the HTGTH section, right before the UYI albums came out the article said on the records we'd get Don't Cry as an orginal and and with different lyrics(that must mean the one on UYI2) and a demo version of it from years back.

So technically if they made a demo of Don't Cry shouldn't it be on the "The Roots Of Guns N' Roses"?

Wasn't Don't Cry written when GN'R had already started?

Technically no, because the CD is supposed to be about Hollywood Rose demos.
Izzy and Axl wrote Don't Cry later on, around the time Guns N' Roses began to record demos. You can find that demo on the maxi CD single of "Don't Cry" though. I bought it for a few bucks a few years ago.

I thought Izzy and Axl wrote it before GN'R got togethor, cos it was about a girl Izzy went out with then Axl did or something, i'm pretty sure they wrote it and made a demo before GNR was formed though i could be wrong

Thanks for clearing that up for me WILL :)
