This. You usually hire people, because you need someone to do things that you can't or don't know about. People that know what they are doing and are able to tell you when something is not feasible/reasonable/cost-effective etc. If you want to succeed, hiring yes-men is the dumbest thing you can do.

Sounded pretty damn awesome to me

I remember this rant. I actually use those phrases semi-regularly.

He's still alive?! I thought he died in 1976! Happy Birthday Izzy!

Yikes

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Nice I never clicked with Tenderness, but Lighthouse is a great record, in my opinion. Nice to see the record and him and the band getting more exposure!

They didn't adjust a thing. It's the same mastering. The volume difference between Perhaps and the General sounds really jarring when listening them back to back. Amateurish, really.

The General being louder than Perhaps is really jarring when listening the CD. Amazing incompetence once again.

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.
