another "did it really happen?" -Frank interview ("Broken" song)

[Bandita]

It's not a matter of royalties being withheld, but there could be two factors involved in this situation: 1. GNR have no interest in paying royalties to someone no longer associated with the organization and would rather have Ron re-record BH's parts (oversimplified, but you get my point, but it definitely happens. This IS a business) or 2. Perhaps there was a well defined contract, but sometimes contracts are disputed, regardless, and the lawsuit can get messy. I'm just generalizing here, I really don't know ANYTHING that goes on inside the GNR camp, I'm just tossing general examples out. We've created a culture of litigation in this country, and everyone suffers from it.

Why would they want to cut off BH anyway? He was a member of the band for several years, and Axl hasn't exibited any hard feelings toward him, and if you believe the rumors, Axl tried to get Bucket back. Bucket helped craft those songs, and he deserves the credit even if his parts are re-recorded.

It's not even a rumor they clearly wanted him back and obviously he deserves royalties for his contributions.  He did the work, he should get paid.

Are we all lawyers now on here?  I love how some folks are an expert in every profession when it comes to the world of GNR.   

Not to mention all of this stemming from some random person's alleged conversation with Frank.

I was only speaking in a possible reason for re-recording tracks. Truth be told, just release the damn album already, this is getting to be totally disrespectful to the fans.

Sorry for bringing up the royalties comment. I guess some people got a little excited about it lol. I just kinda said it as a possibility, not so much as a THAT'S THE REASON FOR SURE comment. Odds are, I am a 100% wrong, so oh well.

I got this from Cd.com
there's no way to tell if its for real or not.
I dont care if this gets deleted... I think it's a bunch of poop.


After Monday nights gig, I asked the drummer Frank what tracks he's been working on. He couldn't tell me. Why? He's not allowed to discuss it. Please? Sorry he can't. Anything, please? He said that he worked on the title track recently along with a couple new ones. He did alot of free-style drum beats, but they are just scraps, not actual songs. Favorite Track?? Better, Maddy and Broken. My eyes lit up when I heard him mention a title that I never heard of before. I asked him what Broken sounds like. He said sorry, but he can't discuss it any further.

This guy Dan, that I met at the gig, was at the so called after-party at Bubbles Mansion, he didn't see any band members, but he claimed to have seen a disc with three track on it. 1. "Better" & 2. "The Blues" and 3 was also "The Blues" but some kind of edit or remix or alt. take. It was on a disc with cover art similar to the curtains behind the stage at the live shows. He thought it was the upcoming single, but they never played it. The guy that worked at the club was showing it around because it was autographed.

Take it and beat off, or whatever you guys do to rumours.

Better" will most likley be the first single( common knowledge), but I do not see "The Blues" as B-side material (more likely to be the 3rd or 4th single).........soooo, this probably BS

I think it should be: 1. Better; 2. Unknown; 3. Chinese Democracy; 4. The Blues

I forwarded this to Mr Mercuriadis for his comment

I would have started a new topic, but I don't know if it would have been appropriate.

Anyway, in response to my email with information in regards to:

-The aforementioned 'single' with "Better" / "The Blues" / "The Blues" (Alternate)
-A recent claim of the release date as November 28, including the song title "Iron March", extra cd with songs from Euro tour etc

"Everything you have been told below is rubbish. When we announce our news there will be no doubt that it is genuine"

He didn't address my question as to whether we will be told if the album will be delayed. I just sent him one other short email asking about if we can expect any sort of comment or statement regarding the album and if the 2006 date as of now is still going to happen.

I think your probably gunna get the standard "When we have news, we'll announce it."

[ben9785]

Yeah probably, I'll post if he answers. It was nice of him to take the time to reply, and so quickly as well, he replied half  an hour after i emailed, and I live in Australia as well

I figured the 2nd part was pure rubbish.. especially since the party was cancelled...
