I'm always eager to hear new Guns N' Roses songs, but after hearing how organic and lively Duff's new album and Slash's new blues stuff sound, I'm not that excited to hear those Nu-Guns -era songs anymore. They're cool compositions and nice things to have, but they do sound kind of stale in comparison to examples mentioned above.

Axl Voice could have a comeback?
jekylhyde replied to darkside259's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
It is the bass player, on his left, singing backup vocals. You can see (and hear) it very clearly. -
I was ready to hate the new video, but I actually like it! It looks cool I like the transitions between the AI graphics and live footage. The whole video matches the song pretty well. It might look dated in a few years, when everyone will be doing these kind of videos, but now it looks fresh and pretty rad, actually. In my opinion, anyways.

The General Music Video Discussion Thread
jekylhyde replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Wasn't excited at all when they put out the Instagram clip, but I changed my mind. I actually like the video. It's cool. It will propably look super dated in a few years, because everyone will be doing this, but now it looks cool -
“Get ready for something F’n special.. 1.24.24”
jekylhyde replied to GNR 1991's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
To me, AI art (be it music, paintings, poems, whatever) is all about the end result, whereas art made with your own hands is about the journey of honing your craft. The joy of doing, instead of instant gratification. Being fast and pumping out content, which to me seems to be the main sentiment that AI promotes, is not the point of making art. I'm not saying you can't make art with AI, it's just that I think something crucial gets lost in the process. But that's just me. I might change my mind someday, who knows. -
any GNR songs with drop tuned gtrs?
jekylhyde replied to AxlRQ93's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Slash used open C# on Beggars and Hangers-On, but if you don't count that as a dropped tuning, Slither is the first song where he used a dropped tuning. Also, Headspace and Superhuman from Contraband are in drop D. As for Guns N' Roses songs, Chinese Democracy and Sorry are played in drop D. At least, I remember seeing a rig rundown video with Fortus, where he said they use drop D on Sorry. Better and Scraped are in drop C#. Shackler's Revenge is in drop B. -
Each of the vocal melodies stick to your head, so that's cool and the composition is dark and epic, which I like, but using "the same lyrics on both verses" -schtick again is really lame. Lyrically the song is just spinning its' wheels. Doesn't really go anywhere. And it is laughable that a band this huge releases songs mixed and mastered this poorly. There's no excuses for that. Even hobbyists release better sounding products these days. All in all, a cool little ditty, but this could've a much better song. Now it sounds half-baked.

Musical influence monsters and the general?
jekylhyde replied to AxlRQ93's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Nine Inch Nails and Black Sabbath come to mind first. I also hear a little bit of Korn on The General, those high single notes on the verses. -
Amber Heard divorces Johnny Depp
jekylhyde replied to mademoiselle aka jessica's topic in ANYTHING GOES
I think both Heard and Depp were just a bad, bad match for each other and it evolved into a mutually-abusive relationship. Bring alcohol and drugs into the mix and voilà! I feel neither of them is innocent and neither of them is guilty. Some people just shouldn't be together. -
Good song and a great performance, but to me Stockdale sounds just as "one note" as Myles. Not enough grit for my taste. But singers that have grit rarely can hit the high notes of Guns' songs, so I do understand why Slash wanted someone with a more cleaner, higher voice, like Myles. Who is a great and talented musician. His voice just doesn't click with me.

Guns two times. In 2010 and 2017. Duff's Loaded once in 2009. Had a ticket for a Velvet Revolver show in 2004, but I broke my foot and couldn't go. Still kicking myself over that sometimes. Especially, because I broke it, because I was drunk. So dumb.

I don't know what kind of external hardware options or extensions there are for Apple products, but maybe an external dvd-player for your Macbook? I use one for my desktop PC. Works like a charm. Mostly. All CD's work well, some older DVD's have some hiccups. (I use still use CD's and DVD's pretty regularly. Makes me feel old sometimes, but they both are good formats. My favorite songs, shows and movies don't go *poof* because of some company's whim.)
