Very interesting. I've never heard the Canoga Park rumor before. Still can't find any reference to it through searching the forums.
#2 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slash on new GNR album: "We just haven't really got there yet" » 10 weeks ago
If the band truly recorded only six songs, which Slash has alluded to before, that's not even enough to make the "singles compilation" album he has speculated about. I mean, Rainbow Rising is only six songs, but that was 1976. It would basically be a glorified EP.
The worst part of Atlas/Monsters potentially being the last two tracks is it means Axl probably never recorded Oklahoma/Berlin. It's only been heard as an instrumental, both on the Village discs and when the album was previewed for Rolling Stone. It was an alternate for Riad in 2001, so we know Axl must have had lyrics in mind for it, but they were probably never recorded, ala the "bitch like you" Silkworms chorus. And if Axl didn't record a vocal track for it back then, he sure as shit ain't doing it now.

That said, the band have released only four songs since 2008’s oft-delayed album Chinese Democracy, which Slash was not involved with. Their gigs still sell tickets, but will we ever see a new album from him and Rose? “We just haven’t really got there yet,” he says, in a manner that suggests they never will.

As of October 2021 Slash said they had written nothing new. Impossible that Axl could have come up with a whole album of new songs since then. I'll be impressed if there's even one genuinely new song released by this lineup.

Instrumentally we know it's earliest form originates from 2000. But what about the lyrics? Axl said it was written about Virginia Tech which would place it no earlier than April 2007. But I've seen forum users say that was a retcon and the album was already in mixing at that point. I thought I remembered that the band was recording in a new studio in spring 2007 and that the album wasn't mixed until around Christmas 2007? Any GNR historians have some thoughts?

IRS is about Slash
Not to dig up an old argument, but I find it bizarre you think the line "what I thought was beautiful don't live inside of you anymore" sounds too romantic to be about Slash, but the line "oh what shall I do, if I gave my heart to you" doesn't.
IMO IRS is very likely about Seymour (and maybe Erin as well). While there was certainly tension about Axl taking over the name and wanting Slash to sign a contract, the GNR lawsuits hadn't really started at the time this song was written (circa 1998). It seems that storm really started to brew around 2001 with Black Hawk Down.

Chase deliberately made the series darker as it went on as he was annoyed that people were sympathizing with Tony and the other mobsters too much.

I disagree. I loved the first three episodes of S6, I thought the Kevin Finnerty saga was brilliant. The psychological aspect was always my favorite part of The Sopranos.

It may sound like the plot of a new Alien film, but NASA has found a mutant bacteria thriving in space.
Researchers discovered 13 strains of the bacteria, called Enterobacter bugandensis that is linked to blood infections on the International Space Station (ISS), which could compromise the health of astronauts on board.
The extreme environment on the ISS like higher carbon dioxide levels forced the bacteria to mutate, and when exposed to microgravity, the bacteria can acquire a resistance to antibiotics.
While this is bacteria that humans brought with them to space that then changed, rather than a bacteria that originated in space, I think it's interesting to note that this is probably the most dangerous thing about space travel. We talk about finding life on other planets or moons, but we don't talk enough about the dangers that different types of life could pose to humans. For all we know some tiny microbe introduced to earth by latching onto an astronaut could cause a Captain Trips type outbreak and kill us all. Even without space this a huge danger for us in the future, with the ice caps melting and life frozen for hundreds of thousands and even millions of years waking up again, stuff that humans along with most life on earth has never been exposed to: https://theconversation.com/ancient-pat … als-209795

I'm not sure he ever actually laid down vocals on Oklahoma. Yes they were going to play it at HOB 2001 but as far as we know the "bitch like you" version of Silkworms from 2001 never received a studio recording, so it's possible it was never actually completed.
