To preserve the integrity and extend the longevity of the "old" Guns N' Roses...
Back in 1991... This is what should have happened:
They release ONE cohesive, flowing album that both properly followed up Appetite for Destruction/GN'R Lies and showed some growth...
Use Your Illusion
Side 1
1.You Could Be Mine
2.Right Next Door To Hell
3.Dust N' Bones
4 Double Talkin' Jive
5.November Rain
Side 2
6. Civil War
7. Don't Cry
8 Back Off Bitch
9. Perfect Crime
10. Don't Damn Me
11.Locomotive
12. Dead Horse
13. Coma

In late1992, after the World Tour supporting UYI, they would release an EP of one half live shit, one half acoustic shit... Pretty much following the same mold as GN'R Lies... with 4 "new" songs, and a couple of previously unheard live covers: "The Godfather Theme", and McCartney's "Live And Let Die"... We'll call this E.P.
GN'R Sucks
(A JOKE title, and one of the potential album titles that was thrown around for UYI)
Side G
1 You Could Be Mine (Ritz '91)
2. Live And Let Die ('91)
3. Godfather Theme/Double Talkin' Jive (Rio '91)
4. Welcome To The Jungle (Rio '91)
Side R (all acoustic studio recordings)
5. Bad Obsession
6.You Ain't The First
7 .Don't Cry (Alt. Lyrics; Acoustic)
8. Just Another Sunday
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtONTmBTAsk&playnext=1&list=PLC140D589BD014FBD
Another round of touring... Axl (for the most part) behaves... Izzy sticks around... They begin to write, and in 1993 release a new record that showcases the quirkier, bluesier, ummm.. "interesting" songs from the UYI sessions and further solidifies their versatility...
Use Your Illusion II
Side 1
1. Pretty Tied Up
2 .Bad Apples
3. Ain't Goin' Down
4. Yesterdays
5. Estranged
Side 2
6. So Fine
7. 14 Years
8. The Garden
9. Shotgun Blues
10.Garden Of Eden (different title, maybe?)
11.Breakdown
Hidden Bonus Track: 12. Get In The Ring
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?p=F6E445CCB496B71D
Then they finish up what they've already written on the road through '94 and go into the studio to record what I think would have sounded like a cross between Izzy's 117 Degrees, It's Five O' Clock Somewhere, and the more Use Your Illusionish material from Chinese Democracy... Around '95/6... maybe drop The Spaghetti Incident in the interim.
Maybe things would have been different. We can only dream, I suppose...
Yes.. This is what I do... Sit around and think of scenarios like this... Fuck Off. ;)
