Mank Rage

[del5150]

it is hard to pick a favorite lyrically, although humble song stands out, maybe because it is mellower...  i think my favorite riff is in retro though

[WAR41]

Of course Paul is a current member of the GNR studio line-up and has been for years.

That is quite interesting. 

[Neemo]

thanks man this is very interesting news and spawned a new thread about the numebr of guitarists to be on the album

who is this person? Dave's gf or something? kinda odd to get an email like that is all does she run the myspace page or something? trying to get more fans for MankRage

[snooze72]

That is interesting because? Why? We already know that Paul contibuted to CD. We already know that Paul does studio work for GNR. Y'all act like this is earth shattering news.

That IS very interesting.?

We know that Paul DID contribute to the CD and that he DID studio work for GNR.? Many sources seem to think that he was turfed from the band and no longer had any involvement.? ?His supporters were saying that he was still close to Axl, and the press release issued said his departure was a touring thing, but I didn't know who to believe.? Having the Mank Rage fanclub here publicly state that he's CONTINUING to work in the studio says a lot.?

And yes, this is obviously a concerted effort by these few people in this thread to promote the band, but that's great.? Anybody connected to Guns N' Roses has to deal with the double-edged promotion sword.? ?The connection means notoriety -- the media wants to talk to them -- but they can't talk to them without risking the wrath of Axl.? ?Poor Paul doesn't have many options when it comes to defending himself, and he and Dave don't have a lot of options when it comes to promoting their own music.

Ditto with most of the other players, producers, etc..? Working with GNR would have been a great stepping stone in the logical progression of their careers (which isn't taking 'unfair advantage'), it must really put a damper on things to have to keep everything so secret.

Kinda selfish, really.?

So what - they have friends promoting them... the problem with this is?? ?

I never said I had a problem with it.? Someone asked me who you were, and I explained.
I did as was asked and deleted all of my posts on the matter out of respect.? But that doesn't mean I understand what it is the band got so upset about.? You shared the information freely - information that we didn't have before, and I thought it was interesting enough to share.? If there was some highly confidential information about the album on there, I would have kept it to myself, but posting the fact that someone we thought had left the project four years ago is still part of it I didn't think was taking advantage at all.

It's just something you're going to have to deal with when your promotion of this band involves singling out Guns N' Roses fans, I'm afraid.

I did as was asked and deleted all of my posts on the matter

Oh, you got one of those 'terse' little uppity notes too?? ?

I really hate control freaks.? And it's one thing to have a 'veil of secrecy' around GNR, and maybe around Mank Rage... but around the Mank Rage fan club?? That's annoying.

[snooze72]

Anybody know how to get ahold of Whatever / Rockiesgirl?? I didn't realize Whatever was the Mank Rage supporter, sounded like a diss, I'd like to apologize!

Everybody kiss and make up now, k??

And relax!? ?

Enjoy the band!

I can't find the original post here... deleted?

Anyway, I don't think it's secret that Tobias could still be involved. Why wouldn't he be? He was part of this, he's been friends with Axl since the 70s, and he would probably like to see it happen about as much as Axl. If he has also written stuff for it, I can't see why Axl would fire him and then lie about it.

No, I think Tobias in some way is still involved. Only thing that doesn't make sense then is that he has not been seen with the band on tour. But that could be explained by him not wanting to be in the spotlight.

Last minute (or so...) of the song "JUNK" is GREAT!!! 

[Voodoochild]

Yeah, it's really good! Good guitar work from Mr. Tobias!

[sic.]

Dave's got some rasp, for a split second on the opening notes I thought maybe Axl's doing a guest spot! 

[freedom78]

Pretty good stuff.  Hadn't heard this before.
