I love Steven and his style of drumming. I remember him saying in an interview that Matt "stole" his parts for some of the UYI songs that he had already worked on and recorded demos for. I think that came from a place of bitterness about the whole situation, and maybe Steven didn't realize at the time that the parts he wrote were so good and served the songs so well that Matt couldn't help but use them. I definitely think, considering the circumstances, he should feel honored that his parts were used and that they made the record. I have a lot of respect for Matt - solid drummer.

Cool facts there about Steven's drum parts for Illusion. I've never heard that and I'm a GNR junkie. I haven't read Steven's book yet, but I have read Duff's and Slash's. I actually have Steven's book, I just haven't started reading it yet. I have a lot of respect for Matt, as well. I just think Steven's style fit Guns N' Roses better. Especially the Appetite for Destruction songs, and the sleazy sounding songs on Illusion like Dust N Bones, and Double Talkin Jive. Well, I guess the ones Izzy wrote and sang. Bad Obsession, too. Along with some other older songs from Illusion that they had lying around for years. The original lineup of Guns was undeniable though. That's one of the greatest rock bands ever. I think the fact that they didn't last long just makes it cooler. I don't think they would be as cool if they had lasted a long time. I think when Steven got fired, that was the first blow to knocking Izzy out. I think that troubled Izzy. I love Izzy. My favorite Guns N' Roses songs are the ones he sang.

Well virtually the entire Illusion albums were written at the same time if not older than Appetite. If I recall You Could Be Mine and Coma was the only ones that Matt was actually part of as far as coming up for drum parts. Coma was I think recorded on the spot. I'm not so sure about Estranged though.

Matt didn’t steal Steven’s parts. He added to them & made them way better. Adler had a better feel/groove, but Sorum was the better drummer overall.

Steven did a whole use tou illusion record. When Matt came in the band ,Acl decided to record all Steven parts. Also Axl put lower volume on all Izzy guitar part. Thats why you can hear good izzy on illusion records. Spaghheti was recorder in same time as illusion songs. After that Axl the boss delete all Izzy part and let the Gilby to play on record.

i've heard that this tune was a strong contender fer "APPETITE" but that the producer thought it was too long and it didn't fit the rest of the album hence why they left it off. i'd say the fact there is a demo with STEVEN A. playing on it is pretty good proof that's probably true. and yeah i know he was a pain in the ass drug addict and became impossible to deal with after awhile (the others could at least still function i guess) but i always thought STEVEN A. had a much greater funk groove goin' on than ever did MATT S. (he's good too but always felt he was a bit generic in his approach) this demo showcases that quite well i think.
