Axl, Merk
problably you already read all kinds of opinions to these leaked demos... and of course, since 2001, you saw the reaction of the fans with Madagascar, Blues, CD, Rhyad, Silkworms in shows and over the internet...
MOST of the fans ( including me ) have those songs in our computers, but the botton line, what we always tried to do with these songs was showing to all of the Axl?s haters and to those people that thou that Axl couldn?t do music anymore, those people that always said and wrote SHIT about GNR and, since 1997, are saying that "Axl and his new band is a JOKE and he is HUMILIATING the GNR name", all we are trying to do downloading these songs (old and new leaked demos) is to show to these fuckers that they are actualy wrong, that the GNR are alive and that?s the only and godamn prove of it.
Before you say that the fans that are downloading these leaked songs ( and possible the studio versions in the future without the album?s release ) are not a "real fan" for downloading the songs, try to understand that we are doing this, all this fucking love for a band, above all the records label, menagements, lawsuits and shit, that we are happy just to show to all the people that said shit about Axl and GNR that they are alive and making music.
I just wanted to say this
sorry the english btw
I thnk it is quite obvious that the leaks were deliberate from either Axl himself or? management. Think about it: the best of all worlds:
if the demos get a shitty reception, they are passed off as "only demos" and unauthorized.
if they are embraced and widely praised, the songs create? a positive? buzz in front of the upcoming performances.
Either way, Axl wins.
yeah, you?re problably right thinking this way, but don?t forget that when you hear the finished versions in the first GNR show upcoming, you too will hear the songs and keep asking to yourself "where?s the BH part? nah, Fick is not doing the solo like in the demo... this part is better in the demo... woww Richad didn?t recorded this part in the demo... wait, that?s weird, where?s that guitar part" ... you know? people will compare the versions
so I?m not 100% confident anymore that the leaks are from GNR camp, couse Axl can lose doing that... 50% / 50%
