Good, Fuck'n, Night. Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 (edited) Personally I don't want any songs from that dog of an album on the reunion tour. I didn't pay $650 for pit tickets in Brisbane to hear that shit. However, In saying that. I gave the Album another listen on youtube a few days ago, to give it another chance, just in case I was having an aneurysm I was unaware of the first time I listened to it. I still cant listen through most, if not all of the songs on the album. It is such an unsurprising, uninspiring, disappointment. The song I thought had the most potential to be a good gunners song was Street of dreams.

Chewbacca Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 While I agree that SOD is better suited to this lineup than Better, fact is that fans are having the reunion they always wanted and they want Gn'R to play the classic songs. CD is obviously going to be put aside for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apollo Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 Love SOD. To me it sounds like a pure Illusions song. Would have been a top 10 rock hit back in the day. SOD, Better, Catcher and TWAT - Axl did hit a home run with that portion of CD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blues/SOD could have been a classic but the final product is maudlin and overproduced imho. Even the 2002 live versions are significantly better than what ended up on the album. Felt the same about Catcher, another instance of a demo turning out better than the released version. The 4 songs you brought up including Prostitute and Sorry all had potential to be worthy of UYI but they lacked Duff and Slash badly. Those two are the "guns" in gnr and let's face it, CD lacks swagger and riffage. Sorry could have been a classic with better lyrics imho. Chinese Democracy makes it clear how indispensable Izzy, Duff and Slash were to the equation. On 9/18/2016 at 5:53 PM, DieselDaisy said: I'd rather anal torture than chinese democracy material.

I fell in love with the original live recordings of The Blues. Back from 1999 or 2000 or whoever they came out. I must have listened to the "ok, never mind" song recording 10,000 times by the time CD came out. And the leak before the what I'd tell ya parts at the end. So by the time CD came out I was almost burnt out on most of it. I listened to The Blues probably more times than anybody in the world. The final version definitely had the balls taken out of it. CD would have been a classic rock album if it was released in the early 2000s and wasn't "layered" to death. Imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found that the SOD 2002 era version was great, the band really tight, the melody, the synth, intro by richard,. Just great, wonder why axl get rid of that sweet intro,??.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVEMBER COMA Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Good chance SOD & Maddy will make the set next year. I would love to hear Slash on both of them.

axlweave Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Street of Dreams is ok, but its not better than This i Love, besides This i Love received great crowd reactions live on this tour, and that song is from the Illusion period not SOD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the crowd reactions louder and stronger for TIL than for other songs? Not one person has said that SOD was from the Illusions era. But it does sound like it could have been. Musical taste is all about personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why a GNR fan would want a reunited GNR lineup to play shit songs from a solo album instead of the classic material from those musicians is beyond me. There is a lot f material that this band needs to play again. No need to fill the setlist with awful crap that has nothing to do with GNR. They already do enough covers like "The Seeker". Not everyone hates the CD material, and not everyone falsely considers it a solo record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Riad has a solid chorus (especially the longer 2nd chorus), but the everything else is lacking. On Scraped, i think it has a killer backing riff for the solo section, but i hate those damn "ayooooo"s. I think Axl should have done away with the "dont you try to stop us now" chorus part and just kept the backing "i'd give anything to know..." parts instead as the chorus. Also doesnt help that both of these songs have 5+ guitars at the same time, making it a shitty mix, (plus synth parts that dont add anything useful to the song) Edited September 22, 2016 by Mendez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
