Every time he hits the pad his mind already knows where he’s going so he’s already getting off. Season drummer sure but best drummer GNR has ever had. Brains cymbal crashes are louder, more sloppy. His drum kicks deeper with an extra beat delay. So hip hop. You get what you pay for. Really kills the chemistry with Tommy. Matt 2.0. I noticed pitman has a little synth line before the vocals kick in and some beeps in the very beginning of the intro barely there but this all sounds quite similar to IRS 1999 or whatever the first leaked version is Agreed. Listen to josh freeze on nin - discipline. He is mechanical. He’s like a drum machine. 4 minutes ago, Arnuld said: How do you know? 21 minutes ago, Creed said: the General and Atlas will be such a let down...cause both songs has no chorus at all. Strongly disagree. Just listening to 1:17 of atlas shrugged, you can tell it’s a masterpiece. Clamoring for the full version so hard.

UsedYourIllusion Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I think the bridge is the weakness of the song, but for the most part I approve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gackt Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Listened to it a few more times, quick thoughts: Sounds very unfinished, both mixing and songwriting-wise Similar to Going Down, various instruments and segments feel pasted-on to flesh out the song, such as having another outro with a random Bucket solo buried in the mix Likely a part of the 1999 recording sessions, judging from the overall sound, the Silkworms-like progression, Finck/Freese/Pitman instrumentation Impression I get is Axl ditched pursuing the song at some point while choosing what songs made the album, but it was still tampered with over the years. It'd be more listenable with some work done on all fronts, otherwise I can totally see why it didn't even make the cut as a bonus track.

sl4yer Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I saw lyrics to this song like few years ago with the line "Motherfucker in this game, checkmate" or something like that. Thank god it wasn't true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solo is bad. Not surprised it didn’t make the cut. You must not know what nu metal was, or perhaps think it's something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent the song to 3 of my friends and they all said it was a good song but if I didn't show them I doubt they would have ever heard it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdaniel Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 After listening a few more times I’m starting to dig it a bit more. At the very least, it’s refreshing to hear Axl sing a proper rock song. The one thing that really bugs me about the Nu Guns era is the lack of riffs.

rocknroll41 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If Tobias really is the main writer on this, then I imagine slash wouldn’t mind sharing writing credits with him, since he’s already credited alongside Axl as the main writer of Shadow of Your Love and Back Off, Bitch.

Towelie Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) Question for you guys...

A certain slasholic obessed with from there claimed This I Love was about Slash like other track. Fair enough. I'm sure people have made all sorts of claims that I've forgotten about lol. I'll always stick by my feelings about The Blues. For the record, I think that's the only song on CD that's directly about Slash. I don't think Hard School is about him either.

Chester 524 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 song is great and I'd bet money that Slash could make it even greater in other news they need to release this via proper outlet. I'll pay money. I found the song on an adult website and oh the things I saw...... I cant unsee........ wish I could. but to each their own. those two fellas must have been workout buddies or something. if this doesnt prove that some will do anything to hear new music, I dont know what will. well, off to wash my eyes out with bleach! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRfanJen Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I just can’t help but to keep thinking about what could have been. Say Axl actually released this song (completed), and all the leftovers, including The General, Atlas, etc and performed them at shows. How different would things be now, if at all? He would have a clean slate. We keep hearing about this “new album”, which we all (fairly) assume is just CD leftovers. But had he released all CD material he had, would we even be having a discussion about a “new album”? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would make the song incredibly creepy I don't think its about Slash either - Its too emotional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
