How could Axl be so careless?

I hope you are right Muther!

Guess the only thing is Mysteron's post to remove the links etc. Still that request was like asking the Pope to covert to Islam and he has been very quiet since.. maybe it was all part of the game ?

You know what - this theory doesn't even have me thinking that this means CD is coming out soon.

It just has me thinking what a great way to promote an album if it works. Using leaks of a certain type and turning the leaks and leakers to your advantage.

As for management of any type: their silence in this case would have been deafening. They had to tell us to stop spreading it - what else are they gonna do - there would be no other option in that situation.

That's what I mean his thread asking for them to be stopped wasn't very convincing so.. ahh I don't know. I think it's a possibility but I'm more inclined to believe at the moment that they haven't come from the GN'R camp. Som sort of announcement would kill off the interest in hearing the stuff if we knew CD was about to arrive.

Hang about:

9 ). How fucking long was WAAF allowed to play IRS for? Not only that but when the did get a request to stop playing it they didn't exactly shit their pants. If anything they took it quite lightly.

Now when you consider how management swooped like eagles and cut out all trace of the first IRS leak on the Trunk show - you've gotta wonder.

He's not joking. Actually, alot of folks here on the board preferred the more up-tempo version of The Blues from Rio. Personally, the best I've heard were Boston and Pittsburgh from the '02 tour. Boston for a smoother sound, and Pittsburgh for more emotional vocals. Just my opinion.

I may be weird but I preferred the japanese versions of this song (ie: Tokyo and Osaka 2002). KOHD from these shows was also something else...Didn't care that much for the US versions.

This stuff happens when you've been drinking till 5:30 in the morning and want to keep it up;  don't know about you folks but I've done some foolish shit in the wee hours of the AM

Didn't sp1at say they were "aware of an announcement in the coming weeks" on the day the tracks were leaked (15th feb)?

[Butch Français]

maybe he was drunk for the first time in 13 years?

Maybe it wasn't careless  at all. After all, according to some on this site, everything Axl does is strategy and has a purpose. So maybe the leaks were intentional to get some attention for the upcoming appearances in Europe.

One  would hope, unlike 2002, that this reappearance  is followed by the release of the album.

All of the recent events  simply make 2001-02 more confusing.

I'm not sure about Axl and strategies, but I know the promotion department will have been working there asses off on ensures this album is promoted correctly - it's not exactly your typical album release.

Whether the promotion has already begun is another question.

This is a smart way to build the "UNDERGROUND FOLLOWING", sure they can't hit the small clubs and get a buzz going that way,  a few leaks are waking up the GNR FANS! I've even heard from the young kids they like what they hear. I think these leaks are good for Axl as long as CD comes out in March.  I really don't think Axl has been careless
