  1. Also plays guitar on Look at Your Game, Girl and TWAT. I think the acoustic on TWAT is Axl? Not sure.
  2. I'm still bummed that we never got to hear the Finck solo album that he announced in 2013 :/
  3. Todd looks like he's having the time of his life with these GNR songs
  4. Madagascar and Hard Skool have two verses at least, Perhaps and The General only really have one.
  5. Stranger things have happened, GNR almost had Michael Bland from Prince's band: http://www.gnrevolution.com/viewtopic.php?id=3390 Imagine a version of GNR with Bland on drums and Derek Trucks on guitar, would be wild
  6. 1. TWAT: Perfection. The nuGNR masterpiece. 2. Madagascar: Axl's voice on this is what made me a GNR/Axl fan, so impressed by his versatility. Was surprised people hated his vocals on the album version. 3. Sorry: This along with Maddy were the first two ChiDem songs I really got into. Love the lyrics as well ("it's harder to live with the truth about you than to live with the lies about me"). 4. Prostitute: Epic drumming from Brain and those Bucket solos in the outro are great, love the lyrics, too (when I can make them out). 5. TIL: I know hardcore GNR fans hate it but I'm certain this could've been a crossover hit if it had been released as a single à la November Rain. 6. Chinese Democracy: I love the extended intro and Bucket solo on the album version, but the punchy bass and numetal sound of the 2000 mix is cool, too. 7. Better 8. IRS: Love this, happy I got to hear it twice in London 2010, some great guitar work and Axl's screams are epic. 9. Eye On You: some guitars in the outro could bump this up a spot or two, love the groove. 10. ABSURD: Would never expect that THIS would be the song that Slash improved the most, but he 100% did in my eyes. 11. Perhaps (2000 Village mix) 12. Shackler's: I love that "no one is a-stopping you" refrain 13. Catcher: Evader made a mix for me where the intro is less busy, makes it a lot easier to listen to, and I love Bumble's solo. 14. Oh My God: The disco beat is funky, Navarro solo is out there, a fun rocker, pissed off though that the copy I paid for off iTunes has been removed. Wasn't a fan of the changes to the later leak. 15. Atlas (New Brain drums): Man, that intro is epic. 16. Hard Skool (with Freese drums + Slash guitar - school bell) 17. Scraped: I dig this, wish I got to hear it live, Axl really goes for it, really captures his bipolar nature. 18. ITW: Used to listen to this a lot more, I dig the funky '70s "Black Bond" vibe. 19. State of Grace: Axl at his most NIN'y, obviously dig the screaming, wish he would enunciate a bit more, hopefully this was a scratch take 20. Riad: 2000 Village mix is fun with the bass and no extended intro, the one song where I unreservedly prefer the 2000 mix to the album version. 21. The General: Indivdual elements are cool, it just doesn't come together as a whole. I'm sure if I'd have heard 15 second leaks à la Hard Skool I'd have been dying to hear it only to be disappointed with the full song. 22. SOD: I actually prefer the album version as it has the added outro vocals, but no version of this song really does anything for me. 23. Monsters: the chorus does not work for me at all, I do like the infamous screaming bridge, though. Really want to hear the Finck/Bucket version of this.
  7. The whole album was streaming on their official MySpace in the week leading up to release.
  8. Oh wow, Todd singing Nightrain! I see on setlist.fm he did it once before in 2022, I must've missed that. Be curious to see what he'd sound like on YCBM, looks like they haven't played that since Slash rejoined GNR.
  9. I was doing the maths on this a few months back and in 33 GNR gigs I've heard fewer than 44 different songs
  10. Listening again to the Village leak of Atlas Shrugged (with Brain drums). Love that intro, still surprised this wasn't one of the first songs to be re-released with the current line-up.
  11. The mix from @cosmicblues with the original drums (and without the school bell) is so much better it's not even funny. So much more energy
  12. The solo in Wicked Stone is probably my favourite thing Slash has done post-GNR and I love these extended live versions.
