  1. Anything Goes is kind of a filler and it contains some cringe worthy lyrics but it’s fun and has good energy. Idk how can you even compare it to The General. TG is a entirely different type of song. They are not made by the same band and they don’t even belong in the same genre. However, The General is barely listenable. The composition itself leaves a lot to be desired as it’s very repetitive and goes nowhere but the execution and production is just atrocious. I’ll take everything off CD and AFD over this garbage. I’m not a big fan of Scraped or Riad but at least they sound like finished songs. Even live version sounded better and we all know Axl’s voice is completely shot. I think it says a lot.
  2. One week ago we were discussing whether the leaks are fake or not and now here we are
  3. You must be fun at parties, aren’t you? In my eyes, that joke is aimed at his t-shirt (which is fucking cringe btw) more than at his physical appearance but if you’re taking that as an insult then I don’t think I want to continue this discussion. I’m sure you’re a good person but you should consider trying not to take everything so seriously, especially when you’re visiting online forums.
  4. I didn’t even get involved in the discussion but I just wanted to say you’re acting like a moron. Firstly, I haven’t seen anyone here making any hateful comments about Axl’s weight so when you say “making fat jokes about a sick man” - it’s extremely exaggerated or even false statement. I’m sure that the person who first noticed his weight gain in that thread didn’t do that to make fun of him but rather to imply their concern about his health. If you can’t distinguish making hateful and unnecessary comments or judgments from stating a fact than it’s your problem and you have no reason to overreact like that. Secondly, if that kind of jokes trigger you so much than I’d suggest getting rid of internet and isolating yourself from society. No matter how hard you try, you can’t change some people’s mentality. Yes, humans are cruel, always have been and always will be. There is always some douche in any community you will find. But from my experience, people here are really kind and polite in most cases. Don’t go to youtube or facebook comments about GNR cause you’ll propably get a heart attack from the amount of hate that is spilled on Axl Rose.
  5. Nirvana’s albums sell very well. Does it mean that Cobain is one of the greatest guitarists ever?
  6. I think that regarding his current abilities he should stick to the low voice for the mid range and only use his upper register for screams and crucial parts, for example in TWAT, RQ outro, WTTJ, SCOM outro etc.
  7. 1. I didn’t see anyone here who has criticizing his baritone voice. I just wanted to clarify that using falsetto fucks dynamics of the songs way more because it’s too soft and weak. It’s just not a technique made for songs like You Could Be Mine. 2. May I ask why would you prefer him to retire? Some songs would sound off, e.g. Jungle, Reckless or Shadow but these songs are still somewhat decent live especially Reckless Life. I see nothing wrong with Estranged, Civil War being sung that way. I think it sounds pretty good and his alterations of melodies are pretty interesting. I could also see YCBM and Hard Skool with his Chinese Democracy vocals. It could sound badass if done right. So I don’t really understand what you’re problem. Especially when he’s using this voice in a lot of songs. (ISE, BO,PTU,Brownstone,Absurd,KOHD,DOTF,CD,Patience,Don’t Cry, half of Estranged, Wichita, etc.)
  8. …and falsetto doesn’t? This entire discussion about dynamics is complete bullshit. Dynamics are about loudness, not pitch. And well, usually high register is the loudest but not when you’re using fucking falsetto. Listen to any of his performances this year where he’s using both registers (e.g. Brownstone or PTU) and notice that he’s upper range is barely audible compared to his chest voice. It’s so weak that he may as well whisper the lyrics. Then talk about taking away „dynamics” or „energy”.
  9. So as a PJ and GNR fan, you claim you’d rather listen to cartoon character singing GNR songs than to listen to Eddie Vedder singing GNR songs?
  10. I’ve got mixed feelings towards ChiDem era. I find it WAY more interesting than any other era but simultaneously I think Slash just belongs in GNR. He’s too much of an icon to be replaced by other player, even if it’s Buckethead who blows him out of water in terms of practical skills. If Chinese Democracy was independent from GN’R (Axl’s solo album i.e.) it would solve a lot of issues with that album and with process of releasing it.
  11. Most of the songs that were soundchecked were played later. Most of the songs that appeared on alt setlists were played later. So it does mean something. I believe that Perhaps and/or The General really is coming out soon. However, I’m really tired with what they’re doing with „new” music. It’s horrendous. Other bands just release new albums and everything is fine. But Guns N’ Roses can’t work like that because there is Axl Rose who is the biggest rockstar and „perfecionist” and he managed to find the most retarted and unprofessional “management” that the music industry has ever seen. Right now, they’re not building a hype in any way, they’re just annoying as fuck. If anyone IS actually getting hype then prepare yourself for the great disappointment. There is no way that the songs recorded 25 years ago (sick!) with recently re-recorded guitars and bass and then remixed will convey any profound emotion. I enjoy Hard Skool and I think Absurd is somewhat fun but it’s hard to even consider them songs. It’s more like a remix or a mashup. I still look forward to hear what these unreleased songs will sound like in new versions but I got no hype. Everything that was recorded during CD era has been wasted by Axl. They can use whatever they want from that sessions to create another frankenstein’s monster of a song but there will be no artistic value in that.
  12. Everyone has their own opinion. I love many songs from RHCP’s new albums. Eddie blows me away. Black Summer is a great lead single and when I saw them live crowd was pumped when they started playing it. I think new Foo Fighters record is amazing and due to devastating circumstances it brings me to tears. I think new Metallica album is decent but a bit too bloated. But still it is a solid effort. All of the albums that I mentioned are generic. And I really don’t care. Music is a form of expression. I don’t expect 60 year-olds to be as creative as they were 35 years ago. I don’t think anyone would even really want that. They have their legacy and their style on which they’ve been working for years. And you know, it’s always better to make a new record than not. Some people will love it for sure. And that’s why I don’t understand Axl’s aversion to release stuff that he already has. Especially when there’s that not much in his catalogue.
  13. I’ve just noticed that they haven’t played Better on this tour yet. Interesting.
  14. I find it fascinating how much influence CD project had and has on Axl’s/GNR’s career. It began like 25 years ago? And it’s still going on. It seems like this chapter won’t be finished until Axl is dead. It’s both sad and interesting. I wish Axl released an autobiography. By now, I’m way more interested in getting to know what exactly happened in the process of creating this album and how Axl feels about all of this than in listening to unreleased songs.
