Here Today... Gone To Hell!

It hasn't mean mentioned by any band member in about 7 or 8 years. It is supposedly a piano driven ballad of 4-6 minutes in length and as Mr I said Axl said it was the deepest song he had ever written back in 94 or 95.

There was an intersting thread on Roses of Velvet the other day about This I love, where it was speculated This I love is now possibly The Blues.

I think there was a rumour about This I Love being played during UYI-tour as an intro to November Rain.. or as a part of the intro.

It's also rumoured that This I Love is being played by Axl in one of the Making Fuckin Videos (Don't Cry?).

It's kind of funny, considering. The lyrics (as well as much of the composing) was arguably done by 1998, when the song was to be featured on the What Dreams May Come soundtrack. Fastforward two years and their back into tinkering with the piano tunes.

'This I Love', a song originally destined for the soundtrack of 'What Dreams May Come', is also likely to feature on the new album, and is regarded as another of Axl's personal favourites. The piano-led ballad has historically been described by Axl as the heaviest song he has ever written (emotionally speaking). The song, which was originally penned during the 1990's, is described by Dave Dominguez as a "very heartfelt' love song of about 5 minutes or more in length.

Various Tracks?

(I was the first engineer when the went into the studio for this new record-almost 9! years ago- nothing I did is left- but I was there

I'm surprised no one asked about this song over the last year to any of the band members, since many people met them and what not...

Really? Never heard that one.. but for now, it's just unnecessary to try to find it somewhere, it could be anything. And would it even be the same as it is now, or even as it was '94-'95..

that's from an article of Splat, July 2005:

I heard 'Sorry' is 'This I love' but re-worked. I can't remember which thread I was reading this on. Has anyone else heard anything similar to this. If it is bs, then I apologize.    8)

Before anyone gets excited this film was released in 1998 and the song didn't feature on it! And whilst I appreciate it is old it's never been publicly known until recently. But here are the two articles on it:

Guns n Roses were offered a soundtrack spot

Sp1at.com can exclusively reveal that the soundtrack for the Robin Williams film "What Dreams May Come" was meant to feature the as yet unheard Guns n Roses song "This I Love".

Last week, in a Sp1at interview Dave Dominguez revealed that during his time working with the band the song was intended for a "Robin Williams film" but he did not give any further details. Sp1at's intrepid reporters followed this up and found out that this was the case. Sp1at contacted the office of Dawn Soler, the musical supervisor for the film, and she confirmed that this indeed was "true".

Unfortunately for Guns fans the film got its cinematic release in 1998 and did not feature music from the band. The song "This I Love" which Axl Rose described in 1994 as the "hardest" song he's written has yet to see the light of day. Although Howard Karp, who worked on the song in 2000, has told Sp1at in the past that it is a "simple piano track".

In the 7 years that have passed since the release of "What Dreams May Come" Guns n Roses have released only one new studio track, "Oh My God", which featured on the soundtrack of the film "End of Days".

Dawn Soler talks about the GnR song "This I Love"

Dawn Soler, the musical supervisor for the film "What Dreams May Come" has been speaking exclusively to Sp1at about working with Guns n Roses's Axl Rose.

When asked whether she could recollect any of the song that she probably hasn't heard for around 7 years she unfortunately said "Oh boy that was a long time ago", she was also unsure how the oppourtunity to work with Axl came along in the first place.

However, she assure me that Axl "was really into the film" and rather interestingly suggested that he "wrote the song for it". This contradicts an interview from 1994 where Axl said he had already written the song, which many fans speculated was about Dylan, the son of Axl's one time partner, Stephanie Seymour.

However the film did not make the final cut despite Dawn's fondness of the Guns n Roses track, the reason she gave Sp1at was that "the director was a pill and didn't get how cool it would be".

If any Guns n Roses fans feel the need to send hate-mail to that director then I believe his name is Vincent Ward and he lives in New Zealand.*

The new Guns n Roses album "Chinese Democracy" is currently rumoured for release between April and July depending on which reports you choose to believe. Whether the song "This I Love" will ever be released is unsure and for that we have Mr. Ward to blame.

*Sp1at feels the need to point out that it doesn't condone people sending hate-mail to idiot directors*

It's hardly ground breaking but its only surfaced recently and some people may find it interesting!

hmm. i have a feeling this song will be one of those 'lost tracks' that is buried or maybe dug up at a later time...

I really hope this album is an overwhelming success because if it is I'm sure there is enough good material left to use with about 6-8 new tunes and make another album right away...

It would suck if we never get to hear this song after hearing so much about it over the years.

How does any of the info provided so far conclusively prove it is not The Blues? I'm not saying This I Love is The Blues, but it's a theory and there's no evidence out there that definately disproves it. The Sp1at articles may be from 05 but they all refer to Axls comments back in 94 or relate to the song being used on the soundtrack of What Dreams May Come in 98 there's no interview from anyone who mentions hearing the song after 2000.

I'm sure I'm going out on a limb here with this comments, specially because it is somewhat related and off-topic at the same time. Is Chinese Democracy the official name of the next CD/Album or was it a rumor from many a long years back that has taken a life of it's own?
