classicrawker Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 People on here are so starved for new music that they've convinced themselves that Goin' Down is a great song as opposed to the generic rock song that it is in reality. You know the funny thing is if Slash had released this the same people who are thinking it would be a hit because it is a NuGuns song would be slagging it as generic rock crap........

Gordon Comstock Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It is generic rock. That's why people think it has radio appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would at least have a decent guitar solo if Slash released it. Bumblefoot is a fucking awful soloist. I don't know why Axl keeps him around.

classicrawker Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) It is generic rock. That's why people think it has radio appeal.You miss my point...they only like it because it is NuGuns song........... If Slash had released the same song they would be saying it sucked....and that it was his usual generic rock crap.....and I actually like it better then most of ChiDem..would love to hear old Axl sing on it.......

Carne_asaDA Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I really like the song, but NO. Cannot be a hit. It doesn't have any hooks that would latch on to popular radio play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitch_77 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Why are nuguns songs getting on my nerves? Must be psychological. I'm serious, every songs get on my nerves.. I'm not sure why, I think it's the melodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't have any hooks that would latch on to popular radio play.Add some crunchy ballsy guitars and the old Axl on vocals and it would be a much better song but still don't think it would be a hit even in today's shitty music scene......... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 (edited) I still find it hilarious that people think the record company would ever release a GNR single with Tommy Stinson on lead vocals.

Apollo Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It is generic rock. That's why people think it has radio appeal.Exactly. How can anyone not see it?Because there are a 1000 other songs out there right now that sound a lot like it.The only thing that would give this song a chance is to have Axl sing lead.......or to have Axl do a heck of a lot more backing vocals than on the track we've heard.I'm not denying it's a cool song. Has a Izzy, Petty, Dylan vibe to it.But the general rock public that feeds the billboard charts are not going to go out of their way to listen to this song.Doesn't mean it's a bad song. People on here are CONSTANTLY saying that billboard, hits, record sales don't matter. So people shouldn't get so excited about this song being a hit or not being a hit. If those things truly don't matter when connected to Axl - then they shouldn't matter when connected to this song.Cool song.But it isn't GnR.And it isn't ever going to be a hit.

Facekicker Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 It think it has potential to get airplay with some additional work. Let Axl handle the vocals, change the solo at the end to a bluesy Fortus number and bingo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appetite4illusions Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 You know, I consider myself a die hard Guns fan and I wasn't inerested in hearing it more than once. To me, there really is nothing special about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurwa Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 If you think that a GNR song led by Tommy Stinson couldn't get airplay, then clearly you have no understanding of the renewed relevance of The Replacements. When The Replacements reunited, it was easily more relevant than anything GNR has done in the past five years and perhaps longer.Most people in North America have never even heard of The Replacements. And none of their songs ever get played on regular radio.I never heard of the Replacements till someone on this forum talked about it. They must popular in Europe I guess...I've never heard of them, they are completely uknown in Europe. Probably they are most popular in arctica, definitely not in europe.

baggio86 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I think it does. It's the good generic rock song that NuGNR needed. Pretty much like Foo Fighter's Learn To Fly, Walk... Actually, pretty much like any rock song that becomes a hit nowadays.Agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't just disagree or have different tastes. The personal attacks start flying the second you like something they don't..........or if you don't love the bands they love.For some reason, bashing the person and the music they like, somehow makes them feel better about themselves and their musical tastes. It's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were RAVING about Better when i leaked and lo and behold, it was not a 'hit'. Better featured better(pun intended) lyrics, vocals, solo, riff etc AND Axl on lead vocals. You are kidding yourself if you think a Tommy Stintson song with a guest appearance by Axl will be a hit even under the GnR name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 Stop calling it "a Tommy Stinson song", that's ridiculous and totally irrelevant to the media and radios, honestly. It doesn't matter at all.Better is way better than Going Down, but Going Down is much more radio friendly and catchy. Better has long solos, heavy bridges and high pitched screamed verses that have absolutely no place in radios nowadays, unlike Going Down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
