Possible theory: The record company is holding up Chinese Democracy??

I think the first quote may refer to the setlist - in that like maybe he'd like to get up and play just new stuff or do covers or something else but like theres expectations that he has to play a certain amount of the old songs. I think he said something similar in 2001 at rio but I could be wrong.

As to the second quote...was that show filmed? Maybe the comment was for a DVD - so that it will go nicely with CD when its out? Or then again - could be a joke - or could just be a statement of fact - like better is on CD and that was the most recent album the band has recorded (even if its not finsihed)

Dont know whether that was said at RiR2001, but the Press Release to compliment the 02 tour basically said that - something along the lines that they wanted to familiarise the new band with the world through the old stuff. I think thats exactly what hes getting at in that quote. Also, maybe hes getting at that he's scared to show off the new stuff with CD so seemingly close, which is understandable (if excruciating).

I think the second quote is simply a joke - lately Axl has a self deprecating sense of humour on stage.

...I think you are wrong about axl caring about buisiness....why fight to keep the GnR name if he wasn't

Because this is nothing but Guns N' Roses which by any other name would smell Guns n' Roses ?
IMO the name Axl Rose is big enough.

to alot of people there is no Gnr without Slash...and yes Axl's name is big enough.....but, ppbebe those comments are each a whole new can of worms that are best left unopened

Ooops, what I'm trying say is that his name alone would sell enough but he's not into solo.
He loves the band.

I hope I put a lid on the can.
