my fault. then its the most expensive rock album ever made. mjs 'rock my world' is top notch quality though.

Top notch ? From public side: I remember clearly that critics did not enjoy it as much as you think they did ... Chinese democracy had better reviews what I know ... what both these albums had in common is that the promotion was bad. In my opinion both are superb, everything is matter of taste.

exactly my thoughts. and still there are a lot of guys here who think that 'if the world' is great. like WTF? its indeed cheesy porn movie music.

To each his own. I think it's great. It contains a perfect Bucket solo and Axl's vocals are flawless. Really went for it on that one. The album needed a fun song like that with a different feel to it imo.

Anyone decipher lyrics for this one?

Sounds like it's about a relationship wherein Axl didn't keep a close eye on things and found out about something his partner didn't want him to. He also makes a comment on if his partner only ever thought of him as a person to give orders. As per the Guns over Oz Facebook page:

All this time I thought I had my eye on you

But now I know the things you did not want me to

Who am I to say what you should say or do

If that was all you ever thought I meant to you

 

I know you think you’re bad but who’s the mac daddy (hey hey)

I know you think you’re bad but who’s the mac daddy (hey hey)

I know you think you’re bad but who’s the mac daddy (hey hey)

I know you think you’re bad but who’s the mac daddy (hey hey)

I know you think you’re bad but who’s your mac daddy (a-hey hey)

(a-hey hey) Who’s the mac daddy

(a-hey hey) Who’s the mac daddy

A-hey

 

All this time I thought I had my eye on you

But now I know the things you did not want me to

Who am I to tell you what to say or do

If that was all I ever thought I meant to you

I can actually picture a badass Buckethead solo taking this track to another level of awesomesness. Hope such a version exists. Would definitely be more worth of disc space than Blood in the Water.

Still more entertaining than Slash's Living the Dream album. Axl was right to take Guns in an experimental direction.

So they’re not doing anything for the new Terminator film but if they did it would be this and Annie would be the mac daddy with his eye on you.

Arnie's gonna have his eye on you for calling him Annie.

What a thing to wake up to lmao

 

 

Tbh, musically and the chorus melody is pretty good. Take out the Mack Daddy thing (which wasn't even a cool phrase by 1999-2000) and have lyrics for all the verses/chorus instead of the same line over and over and it could be a solid bootleg NIN song.

It seems like many people dislike this one but I actually think this song is really damn good. Needs some work but a damn good track with excellent vocals. Really cool song. Always love when Axl does the multi layered vocals. 

Not to mention, 8 songs are out, the threshold for an album- we have CDII.

1.) Going Down

2.) Silkworms

3.) Oh My God

4.) Eye on You

5.) Atlas Shrugged

6.) Perhaps

7.) State of Grace

8.) Hardschool

9.) KOHD Acoustic (Bonus Track)

GG guys. It was a wild ride but we have heard the vault and have finally heard the album I never thought we’d hear. It feels pretty damn good.

What vocals are layered? The Hay Haays? The chorus has no layered vocals at all

I'll tell you what's great about these songs. Me and 2 of my best friends are hardcore GNR fans. And all 3 of us have a different favorite from the stuff that leaked. I like Perhaps the best, one of them likes SOG,  and the other thinks Hard School was the best of the bunch. I think that speaks to the quality of the tracks and the variety of the sound.

Axl had some absolute gems he was working on. God Damn I just wish I had his finished version of what he wanted the double album to have looked like.
