    Sweet Child O' Mine. I find both its tempo and cheesy concept rather off-putting.

    This I Love 

    I hoped she'd never leave me
    Please God you must believe me
    I've searched the universe
    And found myself
    Within' her eyes

     

    That is the vomit emoji in words. Sounds like a Disney song or some nice-guy stroking a lock of hair. 

    Shake it off, Ax. 

     

  2. I think being assaulted before you figure yourself out sexually can cause a lot of internal sexual confusion, if that's what 31illusions means.

    Don't think there's any evidence it causes orientation to change, though. Doubt it made him want to bone Chris Jericho 30 years later.

    Look at his keyboardist and guitarist -- they want him, too. Wrestler, bassist, bodybuilder, scarf-wearer. He's a renaissance man.

    It started off where anytime Slash mentioned new material it excited me (like him bringing his amps to Axl's place that one time) but I am realizing that we are at the point where even Slash's statements just don't bring much hope to me because ultimately Axl is still apparently the one calling the shots of when this material will actually see the light of day

    Yeah, that’s the thing. Slash had a Guns album in ‘94... was likely close to another in ‘96... and now another in 2020. That’s what he does. 

    The only thing standing in the way of a new GNR album...

    Axl’s voice

    Axl’s vocal melodies

    Axl’s lyrics

    Axl’s interest / inspiration / creative state / work ethic / drive

    That would be great. I would very much prefer that. The Chinese leftovers smell really bad at this point. 

    But they need a deadline.

    But what about this box of... Pitman sub bass melod--- THROW IT AWAY!

    "Jamming with Axl"

    I want to know that someday Axl and Slash will play guitars together again.

    How could that not result in a cool song?

    So it seems that it was a comedy of errors that lead to the mix we have now, and how Bill got involved. Surprising that the band chose to not go with Thompson-Barbiero again; say what you want about the drums and the reverb-- Appetite sounds great; I think Appetite sounds much better than the Illusion records. Everything has this soft, hazy sort of sound on the illusions (to me at least). Vs. Appetite and the Spaghetti Incident sound mean, dirty and sharp like a razor. It's hard to describe I guess. Don't Cry sort of exemplifies it, listening to the tone of the live versions and how aged the studio version sounds--not a big fan. Seems to be lacking grit, punch, and sharpness to me. I love all the playing on the record, just not the mix and overproduction. It seems like the band clashed and didn't have a good vision for what they wanted with the records

    AFD is so crisp... really the remaster didn't do much to my ears because it was already solid as a rock. 

    The 5.1 mix, however, takes that crispness and literally puts you in the room with them. It's a religious experience.

    With the UYI's as they are, there just isn't the distinctness to each player / instrument. I get that a song like November Rain probably wouldn't have been the larger than life thing it was without it's sort of "blockbuster album" production.... but it sucks it had to be a one size fits all kind of thing for the rockin' songs. 

     

    I just think a song like Dust N' Bones... if it was recorded during the AFD sessions... would have been that much better of a song.
