Promotional Idea post-CDII and pre-Reunion tour:

Get Rihanna to cover "Yesterdays" with her pal Slash. I know, I know the worst idea ever. But is it? Perhaps Axl takes his time because he is frustrated that people don't absorb all of his material the way he intended. Shake up the newer generations with RiRi rasping old Guns with a track that is straightforward and catchy.

Interesting. I almost placed Catcher on my list - one of those on the buble. Madagascar has really grown on me as well.

1. Coma

2. Estranged

3. Locomotive

4. Prostitute

5. Rocket Queen

6. Civil War

7. Don't Damn Me

8. Chinese Democracy

9. Shackler's Revenge

10. You Could Be Mine

I am 40 years old. I truly love most of the material but these are the ones that influence me the most and in my view have the best combination of intensity, uniqueness, and creativity. Sometimes I feel like Locomotive is #1. It's amazing how brilliantly prophetic CW is and eventually everyone will see how the Bankster Cabal has controlled humanity for so long. I don't claim to know everything I can only go by how something impacts me.

Example: TWAT to me is too specific in that lyrically it connects too much directly to a particular person so that I don't personally connect with it. It sounds good but it doesn't hit me like Locomotive.

Anyways, that's how I see it.

Maybe we don't seem to know s^&t other than rumors because they are going to release the CD but completely on their own terms and via their own methods.

If Axl wants to make history with the music itself maybe he wants to make history by saying "f&*k the establishment" and releasing the CD only at specific locations. Only doing it with downloads is not quite there yet but maybe he can do it another way and keep more of the cash for the band. I know any artist gets a much smaller slice of the $15 CD than most of us think.

In fact, I'll put together an album of GNR songs for the most part ignored by the public that is better than any album on earth released since UYI:

Don't Damn Me

Breakdown

Rocket Queen

One in a Million

The Garden

Back off Bitch

Estranged

Dead Horse

Think About You

Pretty Tied Up

Coma

hey scott weiland - beat it and go write another meaningless song

yeah, don't damn me, coma, and rocket queen are a close second for me but the lyrics in breakdown are so powerful

My vote goes to:

Breakdown

Absolutely amazing song that means a hell of a lot to my life and I am sure many others.

Can't wait for new album.

I have not been to any of the shows or seen any of the feeds, but my guess is that Axl right now is trying to strike a balance to build up a lot of buzz without being too much of a "pumper" or "hypester".

I always felt that the thing that makes GNR the best ever in my mind is that there are SO many songs that I think are incredible that the public would never even be able to recognize or sing along too. So, he has to strike a balance.

I would love to see them do a live show with these underrated masterpieces:

Rocket Queen

Breakdown(**one of their best ever IMHO)

Don't Damn Me

Coma

One in a Million

Back off Bitch

Civil War
