  1. Playing that long, to me, shows they want to give the audience their money's worth and enjoy playing together so I'm good with it.
  2. I love the chorus but the mix/effects hurt the vocals. It feels like it had a lot of potential if they were able to do more with it than just have Slash and Duff record new parts to stick in an existing song.
  3. "Out Ta Get Me" was inspired by Axl being accused of rape, so, it wouldn't be the first time he's been accused. I love Axl but I'm not going to get into trying to poke holes in her story because 1989 Axl Rose couldn't have done such a thing.
  4. I like both of the new leaks but I feel more aware that they're sort of patched together from old and new recordings than I did on other songs. It's like when I watch The Crow and notice things they did to finish it without Brandon Lee.
  5. Not just how happy Axl seems to be around Slash...how angry and bitter he was for so long towards Slash for leaving him.
  6. Even if there are Buckethead or Finck parts that are good enough to remain on the song, I think they'd be replaced by Slash anyway because Slash and Duff working on Axl's demos is their game plan for the current band producing new music.
  7. I'm just catching up here. The General leaked and Monsters is another new song that also leaked? Like real leaks or just some cell phone recording or snippet?
  8. If the argument is "Azoff was hired to do a job, failed to do that job" you may be right. I don't know what, specifically, he was hired to do. He managed to get the album released, which was no small feat. But in the music/entertainment business, if there's no interest in what you're selling there's only so much you can do. And I don't think there was that much interest in "not really Guns N'Roses" for a variety of reasons by 2008.
  9. I mean, he's not a magician. He can try to make Chinese Era GNR a thing but if the record industry and public don't want it, they don't want it. I loved that era of GNR. I liked the line up, loved the album, I didn't care it wasn't the original lineup. But I also remember that the sentiment towards GNR/Axl wasn't good. The lack of promotion could easily be because the record company got their money back, put the album out, and washed their hands of the whole 14 year saga.
  10. I love Axl but he did have a tendency to think everyone was out to get him/everything was other people's fault. I just don't think Chinese Democracy era GNR/the album were ever going to be as successful as Axl wanted them to be - at least not by 2008. The album cost too much money for the record company to invest anymore in, it had become something of a running joke and the band was "not really GNR" to most people. Getting Best Buy to pick up the tab so the record company would actually release the album was in itself a minor miracle. Azoff's long-term goal may have been reunion and maybe he wasn't as committed to Axl's GNR as Axl was but given the band/Axl's history I just find it hard to blame someone else for the weirdness. Everything they do, to this day, has some degree of weirdness to it.
  11. I think if they did limited shows in select, big, markets they could make some money from those. I don't think the larger concert going public would care if Izzy and Steven are there.
  12. My only real beef with Izzy is the "they didn't want to split the loot" thing. There's, like, nothing about Izzy that suggests he was willing to sign up for touring the world for years to come and he already got his "loot" when he wanted out of the band and they bought him out.
  13. I don't know if it was "toxic" but it must have been endless frustration. You're working on music for years, told it's going to be released and then it just isn't. It's just tinkered with over and over for years until people give up and leave so then new people come in to work on the same stuff and have that tinkered with over and over. Every time it seems like things are starting to happen they just don't. I can see that wearing on people after a while.
  14. I just don't see why "it wouldn't work as a single" matters when they're just finishing up old songs and releasing them individually. There's no album that people may or may not buy based off hearing "The General", worse case scenario you release it to stream and people just don't like it. Of course on the flip side, if all they're doing is finishing up old songs and putting them out here and there it really doesn't matter if they tack one onto the single for another.
