GnrDaily.com report that GUNS N' ROSES frontman Axl Rose's first ever recordings are set to see the light of day.

A report reads: "Before Guns N' Roses there was HOLLYWOOD ROSE. Before Hollywood Rose there was RAPIDFIRE.

Who? What? Never heard of them!"

The following is a response to a fan question from former Rapidfire guitarist Kevin Lawrence:

"Dear Axl fan,

I hope this answers your questions.

I an sorry for the huge delay in releasing the Rapidfire 1983 Demos.

My attorney has been working with Axl's attorney for some time now trying to come out with a way to release these demos which is acceptable to Axl.

Regardless though of what he wants, the law states that I can release these at any time and have the full legal right to do so. Because at one time (and if I ever spoke to him now) I considered Axl a friend, I am trying to work beyond the scope of my legal rights with him, out of my respect and admiration for him. Regardless though, if in the future he chooses not to cooperate, the CD will come out commercially. Once again I am sorry to all of you for the delay, but the legal process moves very slowly.

Thank you for your e mails and patience. Please scroll down and send me an e mail if you would like to receive an e mail when this releases.

Sincerely, Kevin Lawrence"

Meanwhile, a message at the Rapidfire here continues: "Yes, the REAL first ever recordings of Axl Rose with his FIRST band Rapidfire. These demos of 5 original songs have been stored for over 20 years and are now being prepared for release. Keep posted for news about these historical recordings."
