Title: Refresh My Memory About The Track Called, "The Powers That Be." Post by: Buddha_Master on September 05, 2004, 03:31:58 AM I don't remember. But I just finished listening to it. Some trippy music playing while Axl is going off on a big time rant(and cursin up a storm). I get that this was recorded in the 90's but what is this? It does amaze me how many bullshit Chinese Democracy supposed tracks are available for download. Anyway, this is Axl, and it soiunds kinda cool.

I think its time I shut the shit down on this clown for the night. The night crew here seems to be sleepy, so Im hoping tomorrows crew will shed some light on this. Goodnight fuckers!

Post by: Jonx on September 05, 2004, 07:05:42 AM I havnt actually heard this track but i do remember reading about it on this board about a year ago. I think everyone came to the conclusion that this track was a fake. The person who made it got hold of a number of Axls rants and mixed them in with some trippy ass heavy rock crap.
Hopefully that helps. Jonx Title: Re: Refresh My Memory About The Track Called, "The Powers That Be." Post by: Izzy on September 05, 2004, 07:10:19 AM Lol - its a fan made track called 'my fellow Americans', its one of Axl's rant's overlayed on some music, possible homemade or some obscure band.
Its not official in any way. Title: Re: Refresh My Memory About The Track Called, "The Powers That Be." Post by: 2NaFish on September 05, 2004, 07:33:57 AM the rant is taken from chicago '92. dunno about the music,

Post by: Ignatius on September 05, 2004, 10:35:44 AM Wasn't the rant taken from the Paris show in 92? right before Live and Let die??

Post by: 2NaFish on September 05, 2004, 10:41:10 AM Wasn't the rant taken from the Paris show in 92? right before Live and Let die?? I think the rant before LALD in paris was about Warren Beaty. This rant is taken from chicago '92 where he is talking about the then recently published Rolling Stone interview. Title: Re: Refresh My Memory About The Track Called, "The Powers That Be." Post by: AxlRocks on September 05, 2004, 11:01:35 AM I never heard it. Sounds kinda cool though. This is gonna sound stupid, really stupid, but could you send it to me? I have been collecting rumor tracks. I don't really now what I'm gonna do with them yet. :rofl:
I think I will make some kind of cd or something. My e-mail is in my account info. :beer: AR, AC Title: Re: Refresh My Memory About The Track Called, "The Powers That Be." Post by: loretian on September 05, 2004, 11:10:11 AM I've never heard this track, but Roger Waters (ex-Pink Floyd bassist) has a song called The Powers That Be that's pretty trippy sounding.

This rant is taken from chicago '92 where he is talking about the then recently published Rolling Stone interview. I've never heard the Chicago 92 show, but the Paris show in 92 I'm pretty familiar with. The Warren Beaty rant is right before "Double Talking Jive". Before LALT he rants about ( by the way, this is off my memory, haven't seen the show in a year now) "your family, your friends, or anything else who choses to fuck with you"...." you can't even try to talk to this people, you can try to work it out...." " this song is about the goverment, the powers of be...." " we'll dedicate this to these peolple, this is called Live and Let Die" Anybody can confirm this??

Post by: Jaded on September 05, 2004, 05:24:30 PM but back to the point.. the powers that be IS from Chicago 92 rant.. wasnt this rant posted recently? can anyone find it? really? the chicago show is like.. my favourite gnr show ever n i don't remember this..... btw i posted it? ;D http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=14716.0 This rant is taken from chicago '92 where he is talking about the then recently published Rolling Stone interview. nah it definatley isn't in that... it does say 'the powers that be your friends, your family or anyone else who chooses to fuck with you' before LALD on the Paris '92 show though which is where the title may be from Title: Re: Refresh My Memory About The Track Called, "The Powers That Be." Post by: Buddha_Master on September 05, 2004, 06:52:02 PM OK cool. Thanks dudes. So Roger Waters has a song called Powers That Be. I wonder if thats the music playing over Axl. It is very trippy. Kudos to the fool who put this together. I kind of dig it, which cant be said for 90% of the fan made shit I have heard.
And to the dude, who wanted to hear it... I dont know how to send shit on hear, but really man, just type in Chinese Democracy on one of the download programs, and it will come up along with a dozen bullshit CD tracks that are listed. Yea and thanks again homies for the 411. Title: Re: Refresh My Memory About The Track Called, "The Powers That Be." Post by: The Estranged MrFlashbax on September 05, 2004, 08:30:22 PM "Any of you, uh, read the latest Rolling Stone? (crowd cheer n' shout yeah).... I was on the phone for a long time last night... and a friend of mine...(Axl puts his finger to his lips signaling for the crowd to shush but they carry on cheering n shouting his name)... a friend of mine was telling me how... shut the fuck up!...(crowd cheer even more n Axl shakes his head) (puts on a goofy voice)"WHOA AXL, COOL METAL DUDE, ROCK N' ROLL, PARTY, COCAINE, YEAH!!" (shakes head again) i aint here for that!.....anyway there was a friend of mine who was telling me how some of the members of my family and some of the friens of my family "have taken great offence at what i said in this magazine"..."it's a shame, look what he's done to his mother! His mother can't even go out of the house now." It was amazing my mother could have gone out of the house before knowing the shit she fucking knew! And why's he talking about this? Cos it might not have happened to you but it might have happened to the 2 or 3 people around you who've got some fucked-up family life that's gonna come back to haunt them when they hit about the age of 25... then you need to kinda find your way trying to climb out of- WHAT YOU THOUGHT was you life but looks more in your head like A FUCKING CAR-WRECK THAT NO-ONE TOLD YOU ABOUT!!...because "the family doesn't want to be embarrassed by these things coming out, we just don't want to have to deal with this and shouldn't have to deal with this publically" but if we don't deal with this publically then we're probably not gonna deal WITH THE BULLSHIT AT ALL!!- and i bet they like it that way!.... I'm not a qualified therapist, i dunno alot of shit about this but i do know that we're in the 90's!!-and i do know that if we're gonna make it another 50 years on this planet, we've gotta FUCKING CHANGE OUR SHIT NOW!!!... and there's a lot of motherfuckers that don't want that shit to be changed because that's gonna dig up their CRAP!! There's alot of parent that, who've, fucked-up their kids through their whole fucking lives- and they're about 40, they're about 50 and they think it's cool (axl gives thumbs up) FUCK THAT SHIT!!!... and i'm the last motherfucking person they thought would be climbing up their ass to tell em about it!!... You see, for me now, it aint about fucking doing cocaine, it aint about how much vodka i drink, and much i can drink someone else under the table, it aint about (puts on voice) "what a fucking macho man rock n' roller i can be." That shit don't work no more, that's great for little kid rock n' roll fucking bullshit but that don't work no more in the real world for my ass... i can't come up here and go "yeeeaah i'm baad, i'm a rock n roller, we're doing this rock n' roll thing" if my life is falling apart! I can't fake it no more... just because my family or my record company or some body else tells me i should "so everybody can be happy and make money and.." YEAH SUCK MY DICK!!! (grabs his dick)...(lots of cheers)...anyway, there are those in my family who are, they plan that, now that i've written these things that "they're gonna get revenge, because it was a terrible thing i did, and we're gonna get revenge" YEAH? TRY IT!! (grabs dick again)...(lots of cheers again)... and if a fucking scrawny little high junior high 90 pound weakling can finally get his ass up here and take this shit on- so can anyone of you that have the same fucking bullshit problems in your life, they don't have to get away with it! I tried being nice, i tried being cool about it, i tried like being friends and all that shit- all i got was "you know how much we love you but let's keep the screws on and keep you down like we always have." Yeah well, guess what? I've changed my point of view! For me now, it's kinda like Live and Let Die motherfucker!!"
