When asked about ChiDem on the Sludge boards, Tracii posted this:
GnR single is trippy sounding, I think its over my head,,,,, One point in the song Axl sounds Like Chris van dahl which I got a kick out of,,,, I hope it does well
As far as the new GnR song goes,,,,,, Its not my current cup of tea but remember I am crazy and my opinion could change at any time Winkhttp://www.metalsludge.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=177200Tracii's answers are underlined from 10/30/08
Tracii , I know you have been asked this a million times but is there a reason that you never really talk about what you wrote for AFD.
I keep reading stuff like this on mygnrforum.com
[(Today, 05:51 PM
Tracii wrote parts of Don't Cry that certain people have falsely taken credited for.
I think there's some truth to Tracii having a hand in creating some Guns songs.
Maybe Anything Goes but I'm sure he wrote the guitar parts to Move To The City)[/size]
Also, do you still stand by these quotes:
Q: Have you talked to Axl Rose lately?
A: No, I communicate anything I want to say to Axl through Del James*. I write to Del if I need to contact him.
Q: So Axl really has completely shut himself off from the world?
A: He's a f****** nut.

Yes I havent talked to AXL and Yes AXL is a nut and I dont talk about my musical contributions to GnR because they are not that significant,,,, AS far as I know you are the only one who still asks me about GnR,,,,, Yes half of GnR is my name ,,, lets just leave it thereFair enough, I wasn't trying to strike a nerve ,Bro.I guess I just like learning as much as I can about my favorite band and I always read about things you were said to have written for them.I will lay off the GNR questions ...at least until the album is out Very Happy
I guess I can see why the questions must get old after a while.
No worries I understand your passion for GnR and its great!!!!!!!!! I am very proud that AXL was in LA GUNS and that we formed GnR together... If you want to set some facts straight on the GnR forum,,, here you go,,,,,
I didnt bring anything on appetite in from scratch in fact I think 50 percent of those songs were hollywood rose songs.... I did play, Think about you, dont cry, move to the city, back off bitch, wreckless life, anything goes and maybe a few more live with with band and made some minor contributions during practice etc, but, I dont take any credit for writing any of those songs...... It was a great time and I want to remember it that way, At least AXL was really a true friend and never stole anything from me and the same with Izzy. That being said I did create the band with AXL and I have no regrets because the band really did make a diference and I am glad to be part of its history
