16th 1999
It's been six years since Guns N' Roses released an album (with the 1993 cover collection "The Spaghetti Incident?"). Next month, the band will finally be releasing its live LP. According to GN'R manager Doug Goldstein, the record will most likely be titled "Live Era '87-'93" (see "New Guns N' Roses Makes Mystery Debut; Live Album Sessions Underway"). The track list for that album is still being finalized, though Goldstein told MTV News that a cover of the Black Sabbath song "It's Alright" (from the 1976 album "Technical Ecstasy") will be making the LP, which could mark the final GN'R release featuring both frontman Axl Rose and former guitarist Slash. Meanwhile, "Oh My God," the new song by the current version of GN'R (which includes Rose, long-time keyboardist Dizzy Reed, ex-Vandals drummer Josh Freese, former Replacements bassist Tommy Stinson and guitarist Paul Huge) will be released on November 9 along with the rest of the "End Of Days" soundtrack (see "Axl Speaks: Rose Sounds Off On New GN'R Track"). The song also features guitar contributions from Gary Sunshine, former Jane's Addiction / Red Hot Chili Peppers member Dave Navarro, and one-time Gunner Robin Finck, who recently left the band to return to Nine Inch Nails (see "Guitarist Robin Finck Leaves GN'R To Return To NIN"). As for the "End Of Days" soundtrack, the disc will also feature tracks by the likes of Limp Bizkit, Korn and Rob Zombie, among others. Fans who want to hear a longer snippet of "Oh
My God" than can be heard in the "End Of Days"
commercial may want to pay a visit to the Interscope Records Web site at
www.interscope.com., where a portion
of the track is available via RealAudio.
