Re: Who REALLY wrote Chinese Democracy
Screw this Tobias shit.
He'll always be Paul "Yoko" Huge to me.
And James... wasn't there some rumour of some affiliation you had with him years ago? 
Re: Who REALLY wrote Chinese Democracy
Hollywood Rose reunion @ the water club
this show was the premier of "Don't Cry" which was the first song that Axl and Izzy had written for GnR. it was a song about a girl named Moniquethat izzy used to date and that Axl was in love with. She's memoralized on a tattoo on Axl's Arm.
Izzy booked a club date in San Pedro during the time that he was without a band, having jsut left the band London. He pulled together a pick-up group comprising of various members of Rose/Hollywood Rose and L.A.Guns for this gig, which became a Hollywood Rose reunion and was billed as such. Axl agreed to do the gig and Slash was willing to do it too, but he couldnt get the night off from his job @ tower video, where he started working a couple months earlier. The turned to Chris Weber, the former guitarist from Hollywood Rose
Band Members:
Axl - vocals
Izzy - rhythm
Chris Weber - Lead
Rob Gardner - Drums
Steve Darrow - Bass
Page 60 of "reckless road" by Marc Canter, show played somewhere between Oct 84 and May 85

anythign goes and think about you were the only 2 songs from AFD that were played before the AFD lineup was assembled...and the songs were reworked with the AFD band
for lies OIAM, Patience and Used to love her were all done with the 5 AFD guys as well....as for the Live like a suicide stuff...nothing more than bonus material, and covers rereleased for the fans to tide us over for UYI's
Re: Who REALLY wrote Chinese Democracy
nobody copied anything from tobias....and definitely not tracii. Tobias has 2 credits on original/old school gnr songs (back off bitch and shadow of your love), that is it. Just look at the list I posted for the 12th time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can search everything on that site so speculation and conjecture are useless.
