Alejandro GNR Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 SoG is another hell of a song... I think we can agree that the 4 leaked songs being Hardschool, Perhaps, State of Grace and Atlas all have great potential. Lets hope these are finished with Slashs imput and also hope for other new songs by this actual band 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How none of them ended up on Chinese Democracy is criminal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h2sublime Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 I would guess that “The General” will make the cut. Curious if they went back and checked out their abandoned sessions from the mid 90s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Nygma Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) At least when the album is released we can get our critic hats on & work out how vital Izzy really was to the Appetite & Illusions sessions.

Problem is nothing has changed. They are still inconsistent and they still charge premium for their tickets. That type of volatility was funny in the early 90's when I was a teenager, now it's just stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kid you not, every single day I have hope that will be the case. Then I check D&N, see that it's the same topics and it takes the wind out of my sails haha. HA! As a forum member I log into to check the EXACT same things everyday. And like you I am disappointed everyday. I don't even bother with google because I know there is another nut job forum member here that is constantly hitting "Refresh" on the "New Guns-n-Roses Album" google search to do it for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 "Atlas Shrugged" was reportedly a lengthier song than the one we have heard in leaks. So later, it must have been redone or some parts added to it. This is all going on memory. I think someone (Bumblefoot?) said it was left off CD due to its length. Anyway, of the "big four" on the leaks, "Atlas" is the one that I think needs the most, although I love the song. It definitely could be fleshed out into an old-school seven-minute GNR rock ballad.

Narr he said due to the album length already it was left off. The album we have is just over 71 mins 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what he was saying was not so much that Atlas was too long of a song, but that they'd already hit the maximum length you could have on a single CD (74 minutes) so they couldn't include it. Edit I see someone already answered this whoops. Edited January 16, 2020 by Caedo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jw224 Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 These guys aren't going to sit down and record a totally new album. If that has happened I will be surprised. I also think if they were to do that the output wouldn't be that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacdaniel Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 I don’t see any of those leaks as single or even album material. Hardschool has too many lyrics so wouldn’t be a success. Atlas is just a bit boring, lots of repetitive gibberish about being a man. Eye on You is worst GNR song ever. SOG sounded unfinished. New material will hopefully go back to the original GNR formula. Riffs and memorable hook chorus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the other leaks with vocals are b sides to my ears as well. Real new music please! Edited January 17, 2020 by El Guapo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately I have to agree I enjoy the leaks, and when they happened I think the sheer excitement of them really made them more elevated than they really are, in my eyes. There are some cool ideas there, but I recently revisited them in their entirety and there were not any real "wow" moments for me beyond a chosen few (State of Grace, HS, Atlas, Perhaps) and the early mixes of CD tunes I think the breakup really proved that the sum of the parts have always been greater than the individual band members. Cool ideas and moments, however man, the CD demos and CD the finished album, just make me appreciate Izzy's contributions more because those 5 guys really nailed the balance between hit-making melodies and good rock music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
