Guns N' Roses Streaming Numbers

100% agree that Better was the choice. No idea why they abandoned that idea. It was clearly going to be. The leaked Harley ad from 06 seems to confirm that. The people I played the leak to immediately said this is a radio song. Maybe it was just my area that continued the long intro way after the fact. -

You know what I think hurt the first impressions? The extra long intro on CD. If they had kept the same intro as from the locker leaks I think it would have done worlds better. A minute long intro on the radio was rough for people. -
The General Music Video Discussion Thread
MJRoses23 replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Watched it twice. I still love the song but am not a fan of the video. Its hard to watch. That said, I appreciate that they're still doing stuff. They are at least trying to be creative still. At this stage in their careers thats more than a lot of bands can say. You can all debate the level of "trying" theyre doing, but they are trying. After years of silence, I'm happier with them putting out the occasional thing I dont like than nothing at all. -

Definitely could be cool. This video of him changing up his voice at the end of Estranged when he was sick sounded amazing. Had a lot of emotion in it. Just doing small things like that would save his voice and I think give a new depth to songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q1o187Dw8A -

Seriously. I've watched just that part 20 times. So many years in the making and hearing him say it. Damn. -

I think the band knocked it out of the park this tour. Switched up the setlist, three new songs (one of which being the fucking General), and a music video. In GNR land you cant ask for much more. Great year for Guns. I hope they keep it going. Oh and fuck me, they sounded good on The General. Axl went for it. -

I’d be interested to know what some people had hoped for with The General. It was never going to be some straight forward “normal” song. We all heard over the years tidbits that hinted at what it was. Were people hoping for something longer? More catchy? More orchestra? To me it’s exactly what I had hoped for. Something that pushes what GNR can do. It sounds nothing like anything they’ve done. I can’t decide which one I like more between that and Monsters but they’re both top tier guns songs to me.

I agree about Axl and the voice. However, it always seems like Axl is trying to take some unmakeable dream song he hears in his head and put it on a record. And that is when I love GNR the most. It’s like he tries to take all the things GNR has the capability of an etch it into a song. It’s something to be admired I think.
