Re: Tim Palmer's two days on CD
Apollo, good to see you. Seems like it has been a while. I would like option 3!

Re: Tim Palmer's two days on CD
I feel a duel album is likely - sort of how this tour Slash is given Coma in the setlist to please him, and Slash learned the Chinese songs to please Axl.
Imagine they'd do the slash-approved songs of CD2 and then maybe Axl would do 1-2 brand new songs with Slash.
That's the dream anyway!

Re: Tim Palmer's two days on CD
I am going to go against the current of fan opinion and say that they may release a track or two for a soundtrack album/single but I am not expecting nor believe we will get another album from this group. CDII may just leak sometime in the future when their careers are all said and done.
This tour is a big cash grab, but a worthy cash grab. These guys deserve this money to go on and do what they need to do for the rest of their lives.
I expect Axl to work on a film score and tour with AC/DC, perhaps record some new stuff with Angus and Co.
However, the forces that drove these men apart were forged by the creative egos of S & A. I'm not convinced they have repaired their once solid friendship enough to knuckle down and write something together as a band.
If Izzy returns in a writing capacity, everything changes.

Same. Axl said everything he needed to say at the China Exchange.
If you listened closely, he said that the record company is still a barrier to releasing new music. I also think his comments about Slash playing on new material could be fairly interpreted as "if this reunion doesn't work out, I have that music saved up for a rainy day".

I don't think that will ever happen.
The vibe I get is Izzy doesn't like "working for" Axl. He's not going to put up with any of his bullshit.
I also think that Izzy has much of a creative ego as Slash or Axl.

Wow, I didn't get that impression at all.

Which part? I'm guessing the second?
I don't think it was malicious on Axl's part but he also said that the whole thing could explode. He said he wants to release it either way. So if it doesn't work out okay, release it, if it does and Slash wants to play on it, cool. It was a very Switzerland answer.

Pretty funny story tho
He probably thought that Axl would show up at the agreed upon time (and not a couple hours late) and that they would be working on more intensive work than Axl just recording a syllable at a time.
Nah fuck that...I disagree
Axl is the one who dictates...not some random producer...I'd never even heard of Tim Palmer until this thread started ... the power players make the rules .... not the employees
Maybe the "syllables" became Scraped?

Why would that be the case though? Why wouldn't any label want to release an album with Axl and Slash?
I wonder the extent to which GNR's demands from the label are unrealistic - like 1990s style marketing budgets not taking account of 20teens style record sales.

From the China Exchange interview:
“The heads of the music industry realize that for their business, why deal with a band? All they need is a star and a producer. They don’t even care who writes what or what it sounds like. They could be a genuine fan of music, say, the music company president, owner, whatever. But when it comes to their business, it doesn’t have anything to do with that.
It just has to do with what’s going to be the easiest, what’s going to make the most money, and make the company and the shareholders happy and stuff like that. I can respect that … but as an artist and a musician and working with bands, it doesn’t help me at all, and i don’t think that it helps music. It doesn’t help the bands become self-sufficient and successful, they’ve got to work a lot harder because the labels are more worried about themselves making money.”
Why risk losing money on new music when there is a cash cow ready to have it's tits milked off?
Re: Tim Palmer's two days on CD
On the other hand, what could be easier than releasing a 15 year old album? 
I dont even remember that part of the interview about the label. That doesn't scream confidence.
I still think we're getting a compilation just in time for the holidays.
