The 8:57 studio length just isn't long enough. I feel if Mr. Rose were to release a version twice as long, and possibly even longer, if the apocryphal rumors about the twenty-five minute version are true, America might regain cultural prominence in the world. Where is China's Slash? Furthermore, if President Obama could mediate a meeting between Axl and Slash, it might go a long way toward healing the deep divisions in this country between the pro-Axl and anti-Axl factions.
Although any versions re-recorded with the new band might be interesting curiosities, the American People are interested in the version recorded with the original line-up, only.
