I posted this on another forum and was told that i should post the request here:

"looking for some help. someone i know has come across what he believes to be a session tape of Dave Abbruzzese (former PJ drummer) rehearsing with GNR sometime around 1997. According to Dave's wiki page and a few random mentions online, it seems as if this actually took place. He doesnt know much about GNR during that time period so hes looking for someone to help him identify the songs and possibly verify if this tape is actually what he thinks it is....

if interested, please PM me."

i can go into more details with those that are willing to help....

thanks and hopefully someone here can put this mystery to rest....
