Gem Archer Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) it's and average song, and i can see why they left it out of AFD but mike clink did an amazing job with the production and capture the rawness of their sound backthen... 8/10 for me Edited May 4, 2018 by Gem Archer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashisGOD Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Fucking rocking tune. If those are new vocals, which I don’t think they are, then it proves Axl still has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason why it was a b-side back in the day. It still is b-side material. Nice that Guns released something "new", but it is also a bit sad that they are comfortable releasing a b-side as their first official single since the reunion. Their comeback material should be stronger than this, in my opinion. But then again, that's just my opinion. Though, like I said, it's nice that they have released something. Keeps the wheels moving. And it is nice that people are digging this song. Feel like I'm in minority here, but totally agree with you. I'm not mad at them, or disappointed or anything like that. I'm just indifferent to this release. It doesn't move me at all. Not feeling anything. In fact, it's a bit boring, and when it ended I wasn't keen to go back and play it again. There is something weird about GNR releasing a 'new song' that is in fact an old song that's inferior to every single song on AFD. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im more excited then you, but I can totally see where you are coming from. It didnt make the cut before. The riff is rather stagnant and Izzy plays a lick that is very reminiscent form his part in WTTJ intro. But at least its got a sprinkle of that GNR comedic wtf-ness to it being that its a Paul (Andrew) Huge/Tobias co-write! lol Its totally missing a Duff melodic run in the intro. Its almost there, but could be more and it would be twice as banging with full Duff intro. Im loving it though. Hope it will catch on for you too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamwolff11 Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 This is good, production sounds fantastic and I'm enjoying it more than I expected I would. I'd love to see it do well with the public, maybe push Axl in the right direction in terms of releasing stuff that is legitimately new. It's definitely a step in the right direction. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Order of Nine Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I just called my local classic rock station. The main DJ Michelle Michael's has no idea that they have this song out.

How could it be a debate without having access to a single fact? it's all speculation, from both sides. there is also no need to be butthurt over a simple opinion. there are people asking for people to be banned over an opinion, people are being called naive and all sorts of names, I mean what the bloody fuck? I find that actually pretty hysterical. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(as Slash said prior to recording the Appetite, Steven used that and they made him get rid off it). Sounds very possible. Cool to have a taste of if it is! Also, do you figure thats Adler counting it in? I dont much know his pre-stroke voice and dont recognize the voice. Actually the drums have been really piquing my curiosity in a few ways. Theres the question of whether this version has had its tempo digitally altered (quantized) and though I have no idea and find that highly unlikely even for Guns, there are a few things in the drums that could speak to that. Through out the song Adler is modulating back and forth between straight triplet shuffle to a faux-triplet shuffle. On its own that seems like a very Adler thing to do, especially so early on in his professional recording life. But sometimes when a tempo is quantized things that fit in one tempo/metre no longer work in the changed meter. This is especially the case when a part isnt in perfect time. From what I understand the band didnt record to a click, at least not with Clink at the helm. So when stuffs out of time then you get into quantizing some sort of compromise. Or you quantize in sections. Sometimes things that technically musically 'work' after this process still stand out to the human ear as unnatural. This could contribute to the two types of shuffles. But mainly, to my ear, theres a hint of a poorly quantized note on the kick between 0:27-0:35 on the video version, namely one of the hits around 0:30. Not saying it is, but theres aspects to the drums that leave room for questions, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
