DOUBLE TALKIN' GUNS

Perhaps a little Arnuuuuld for you!!  We're talking about Guns N' Roses most hardest rocking tune!  We discuss the tracks backstory and of course it's famed Terminator themed video from the Summer of 1991. 

In the final part of our Chinese Democracy series of discussions we look at the long rumoured tracks that are still out there and which to this day remain unreleased. We discuss all the leaks, the reworking of Silkworms to Absurd and Hardskool. We look at Chinese Democracy in terms of the changing music industry and musical trends which came and went throughout it’s conception. 

In Part two we focus in on the actual album that would finally see the light of the day in November 2008 almost a decade and a half later. Plagued by years of leaks the finished album contained 14 tracks. Did it live up to the hype and expectations? We go track by track.

In the first of this three part series we talk about the making of what was once perhaps the most mythical album ever recorded. Emerging from the ashes of the original Guns N' Roses lineup, Axl Rose set out to make an album that would bring forth his vision of a new direction for Guns N'Roses at seemingly no expense and against a backdrop of seemingly impossible public expectation. 

Quick hit episode: Guns have started their 2023 world tour. We check in to see how its going and also the rumours of 'Perhaps' being in the setlist.

We review Steven Adler's 2010 book "My Appetite for Destruction, Sex & Drugs & Guns N' Roses". We look at the how the book differs to the others in the GN'R camp? Its a book that it is sometimes disturbing, shocking and an interesting first hand account of GN'R's early days.

We take a quick look at Duff McKagans new 3 track EP 'This Is The Song'. Released in conjunction with mental health awareness month Duff is trying to encourage people to "take action" in this regard. We discuss.

One of the most complex tracks the band ever attempted. The second longest song recorded by the band it was released on Use Your Illusion 2 in 1991. The multi-million dollar 1993 video was the final part of the trilogy following Don't Cry and November Rain. The track finds Axl Rose at perhaps his most impressive lyrically. In this episode we delve deep into the songs backstory.

The First song ever wrote for Guns N' Roses and the opening video of "the trilogy" series. So good it had two versions released on the Illusion records in 1991. We talk the songs origins, its backstory and just what was going on in the mind of Axl Rose during the making of its memorable video.  

In April 1992 Guns N'Roses joined Rock's biggest acts to pay tribute to the late great Freddie Mercury. The performances that day where among GN'Rs greatest. We discuss the concerts backstory and the relationship between Guns and Queen both before and after this concert.
