When I first heard Axl's vocals on the short clip from the gnr.fm countdown, I thought for sure it was Axl's 80's voice.  After listening to the demo version of the song, I am now convinced it is current Axl on the new release.. The vocals are much weaker than the demo version.  The voice has all the similarities of his current voice.  It is not bad, just not as powerful as before. I like SOYL.

It is too bad these guys don't want to make a new record.

I am getting a T shirt.

I will not buy music I have already bought. I couldn't care less about remastered shit.

I would buy the demos(with better audio quality) if they were sold separately, but they didn't do that, so I will pass.

I am not a sucker.

Axl and Slash I probably laughing together right now.

Axl: "What do you think, Slash? Think we will be able to suck the suckers dry for 5 more years?"

Slash: "Absolutely"

I like the T shirts. I will probably buy the shadow of your love T shirt for 35.00.

Not interested in buying music I already bought 30 years ago.

lol reminds me of the release of Live Era and GNRONLINE.COM

Weak.

I will say that Shadow of your LOve is better than every song on Chi Dem combined.

bwahahahahahahahahahah

WTF????    what a joke.

Axl could sing great in a studio still. It's the running around the stage and being out of shape that kills his voice live for the most part. That's why he sounded good with AC/DC..Angus runs the show, so he didn't have to be nearly as active.

Not like that he couldn't. He proved that with Chi Dem. Not even Illusions Axl could sing like the vocals in that clip. That is 80's Axl vocals.

ahhh - speculation then.  

If someone punched you in the face, would it be a safe bet to assume that person doesn't like you?

That is old Axl, guys. 80's Axl. You guys just like getting your hopes up. lol

Axl wouldn't sing like that for GNR even if he could. He will save his decent voice for more important things in his life, like new ACDC music.

Chinese Democracy vocals is what we would get, which is awful.

I am surprised there are GNR fans that do not know who this guy is.

Either they have bad memories or they are very young. Dice and GNR(old band) have history together. He opened for GNR.

To you, none of it matters.  I would enjoy a AFD box set with great quality audio on stuff like SOYL

AFD already has great quality audio. The only thing AFD related that I want to see is Izzy and Steven back in the band.

Are you kidding me? AFD sounds pretty dated, it just screams late 80s cockrock.

It is a great album and has many positive qualities that everyone has raved about in the last 30 years, but sounding timeless is not one of them.

One of the dumbest things I have ever read on this forum. 

Cockrock?  Why even listen to them if that is your opinion of perhaps the greatest hard rock record of all time?

How exactly do you know what his opinion concerning the fanbase is? 

His behavior throughout his career.

R.I.P GNR

Oh well, it will be nice listening to new slash music with a singer that won't be out of breath after 10 seconds and doesn't sound like Mickey Mouse.

I know Axl will sound good with ACDC because he cares more about that band. I will not watch a minute of fake ACDC. No different than watching Fake GNR prior to 2016.

Funny how Ron went on to list the things that helped make that album the piece of crap that it is. The only reason he's calling it a "masterpiece" is because he was on it. It is awful.

I also find it is stupid how a few on here attack Slash when defending CD. Had Slash released something this pathetic under the GNR name, it would have also been criticized.

Some people here are obviously not Guns N' Roses fans.

James Munky doesn't age.

 This thread is hilarious.  

It turned from a Robin Finck thread to a GNR sucks and is insignificant compared to NIN thread.

I wonder if AC/DC fans or Metallica fans post such nonsense. You will never see Metallica fans ever say shit like " Korn is bigger than Metallica".

I don't care where they recorded . Reznor hardly spoke in the press , NIN is one of my favorite groups and I know next to nothing about their personal lives , which is how I like it. At least he is not a cheesy embarasment like duff who I recently found out did a reality show 

 

You compared them to nickel back! Pretty sure that's not a compliment . 

What Trent is contrived because he wore black pants and a black tshirt ? Because he had a hairstyle ? Should he have worn a potato sack? He was as minimalist as it got .

As far as composing, Axl is not in the same solar system as Trent and that's just a fact . All the good song writing in GnR was because of Izzy and then others contributed . I think CD is proof of that. 

LOL Axl as a rock star and GNR in general takes a shit on anything having to do with NIN times a 1000.  

Nobody gives a fuck about NiN. 100 yrs from now GNR will still be heard, NIN will be forgotten.

He sucks.

Rocket Queen sucks without Steven Adler.  Put in a good sounding Axl, Steven Adler, and take away the stupid unnecessary long solo, and the song would kick ass.

Nu GNR version sucks as well. Speaking of NU GNr, did you guys listen to Buckethead's interview? The guy spoke for the first time ever. He is weird, but seems like a good guy. It is on youtube if you haven't heard it.

I've seen a handful of people say "I heard some of the cd songs live, never heard them before, quite liked them" etc, etc

Overall the people don't like cd will remain as people who don't like cd, they either honestly don't like the sound and direction of the album, or there's the majority of people who don't like it because of the line up and that the guns n roses sound that was 20 years at the point of release developed into something that wasn't expected eg not a mix of AFD and UYI.

And none of those handful of people will go buy the album. CD is one of the worst albums released in the last 20 years.

its not about hate

- most of casual GNR fans -- the people who are paying hundreds of dollars to watch the Poor and Roses tour -- never actually listened to the axl solo album.

- id guess that at least 50% of the audience must look at each other and go -- what song is that? -- when they play an axl solo song

- the ones among casual GNR fans who actually did listen to the axl solo album probably did it once or twice. and then gave up. because... yeah, we all know why

- some people may not even have made it to the end of the album. because...

- those few who made it to the end of the album probably tried to listen to it two or three more times. Tried. You have to be strong to do that! True GNR fans here! but, a few spins later and then they probably also gave up. because...

you think people hate this album? no, they just DONT CARE. and no matter how much `limelight` these songs got on this nonsense tour, people will likely keep NOT CARING because...

...most of the songs are not that good, or not good at all, or, at least, not good at all when compaired to GNR songs

...Axl`s voice and delivery are basically unrecognizable on these tracks when compaired to his delivery in GNR

...the arrangements are truly awful and grooveless and boring and at times cringe-inducing

...the `spirit` (for the lack of a better word) of the music has absolutely nothing to do with GNR. GNR is a gang of men saying `fuck you` to the word `we wont take your shit!` with some mighty fine love songs in between. Axl solo album has nothing to do with that. It is the album of a broken man, and you can hear it on every song

 

Good post.
