liers Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 All the reviews and comments on the sites seem positive.... Axl should hurry up and atleast get this song out as a single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 That's nice but I don't see the song as a worthy addition to any official future Gn'R album. Cool B-side imo. Nothing more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Why?Quality? Not enough Axl? The lyrics are meh, the guitars...I don't know. It's a fun little song with no lasting appeal imo.It sounds more like a Tommy solo thing then a Gn'R song which is not a bad thing, it's just not on the same level as the Chinese material. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very generic rock song, and like the reviews said: exactly what Guns N' Roses needs to go back in the market. There's no problem in having one or two generic rock songs to make it a single, as long as you have a great album overall.

I care more about my own enjoyment then how a song will benefit sales.We don't get albums very often from Axl, so 1 song out of 14 or so songs is a big deal to me. I don't want the space wasted on a song that I consider to be just ok.We could have gotten Atlas Shrugged instead of Scraped or whatever. (kinda silly cause I don't even know what Atlas sounds like, it could be just as shitty as Scraped) Edited August 20, 2013 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I see what you mean, and I agree at a certain point. But Axl ain't no Trent Reznor. He still answers to the label, that expects good sales, which come from good promotion, that would get a lot of help with a generic catchy rock song as a single. Not saying it has to be Going Down, mainly because I think any Guns N' Roses single should have Axl on the lead vocals, but on the same style as Going Down. Understand?

dalsh327 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's hard to criticize an unfinished song. The question is going to be if the song makes Interscope start asking around if GNR's got more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManetsBR Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 What about a single released on the purpose of geting radio play? Rock songs hardly become hits nowadays. Let's take a look at the Rock stuff that does get lucky enough to chart: Bon Jovi, Foo Fighters, Nickelback etc... It has to be generic, it has to be catchy. Pretty much like Going Down. You've heard Foo Fighter's Learn To Fly, Walk, or Bon Jovi's Have A Nice Day... Almost the same structure.If Guns N' Roses ever wants to release a hit again, it has to be that way. Some people say that the cream always goes over the top, unfortunately that is not true. I don't know what is on Axl's agenda, but I'm pretty confident to say that the label would very much like this kind of song to be attached to the Guns N' Roses brand.Of course I'd rather a 14 songs album full of epics, but what does Axl wants? Better, what does the label wants? Because Axl answers to them, and I'm pretty sure they don't want another Guns N' Roses flop. I'm pretty sure that they won't get in good terms with Axl unless he can prove he's able to make a smash hit again.I don't think the fact that the Chinese Democracy re-release rumors are from the same time of when Going Down started to appear on the setlists are just a coincidence...

wasted Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) I think CD II could lean more towards the parts of GNR that aren't on CD which seems to have been constructed as like Achtung Baby. A bunch of big rock songs for stadiums.But some GNR fans might want heavier (Oh My God, The General), or more punk (Silkworms, Going Down), more UYI (Jackie Chan, Atlas Shrugged).Some people might like the more erratic, reckless GNR on UYI to the more focused AFD. It might look like it doesn't makes sense on paper, but it could really give people a shock to the system with such diverse material.Add Fortus and Dj into the mix you have interest from so many line ups of GNR. You've got Bucket songs, Finck, Dj, Fortus, Tommy, Izzy, Axl and whoever else. Throw in some covers to get classic rock fans on board. The Seeker is going to do it.I agree Goin Down has some generic qualities and a country tinge. It could have been these songs were meant for a Deluxe edition. That they could be bothered to do. maybe it's going to happen. Axl said Silkworms might come out later this year. It would be a way to get the booklet out, gve the fans a few extra tracks without having to enter the studio.

There's nothing wrong with that, and they can be both good/great and simply/catchy at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liers Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) The other good thing about GD is that it's a cross over song. It's a Rock song, but it has appeal on the modern hit stations too, like Closing time by siesmonic, oasis wonderwall and super nova, bon jovi have a nice day, etc, so it could be played across the radio. I think there's so many people who dislike axl because of his voice or his attitude that having Tommy do vocals on this song will actually help it. People will think "Wow, that's a good song, I wonder who plays it", look it up, and be pleasantly surprised. People like this song, it could make people give CD another listen.

NicoRourke Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's really great to see that this unfinished song is getting so much positive articles / comments.Especially on the guitar work, and the fact that Tommy sings lead seems to bring something fresh.

alfierose Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Conspiracy theory alert here. Let's say the camp was involved in these leaks in some way, is it coincidental that the one new song leaked is a Tommy song when he is about to embark on a run of Replacements gigs? The song has been we received so a bonus for Tommy. Not sure I entirely believe this but it's a thought that just occurred to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
