I almost posted Go For A Soda and some others but didn't want to get carried away lol. That version of You're Crazy was fuckin awesome.

He wouldn't let Bucket outshine him on his own album. Maybe Paul can play some rhythm guitar. I wouldn't be surprised if Steven is on a song again, Brain would be awesome and Josh is a real possibility. After Matt's book, I doubt he'll be included in their solo projects again...

I think an original song with Axl is too much to expect, but I'd love to hear a studio version of You Gotta Move... or Sway... or Wichita Lineman...

Todd is great at what he does - singing covers in a bar band. I mean that as a compliment, I'd love to see a Slash show where Todd sings some GNR songs, Always On The Run, Dr Alibi, etc... Toque seem like a fun band.

That's fair, I prefer the demo but that doesn't mean I hate the single, I can see why people would prefer either version.

It's hard to rank the songs only using the official versions, and songs like SOG and Going Down would be somewhere in the top 10 if they were included, but my list is something like this. I'm including Monsters because it's likely one of the next releases. Prostitute There Was A Time Better Sorry Monsters Street Of Dreams Oh My God Catcher In The Rye I.R.S. This I Love Chinese Democracy Shackler's Revenge Madagascar If The World Perhaps Rhiad And The Bedouins Scraped Hard Skool The General Absurd

Of course a lot of people will prefer Slash's guitar tone, but it's not just that the drums in the demo are better, they completely change the energy and drive the song. The intro could be cut down a bit, but overall I think the demo is way better. The loud mix/master, simplified drums and all the vocal effects really bring down the released version...

Hell yea, especially If The World - great raspy vocals, nice Bucket solo, and as far as the 'experimental' songs go I'd say ITW hits the target it was going for (fun Bond kind of song) much better than The General. ITW was great live, too. Not that Scraped and ITW are top tier songs, but I'd rank The General as barely better than Absurd... The demo versions of Hardschool and Rhiad are both good, and the final versions of both songs are mediocre. Yea, they could've been swapped on the album, but Hardschool still would've been one of the weakest tracks.

I guess it makes sense to only rank the officially released songs, since most of the demos are better and would probably be ranked differently, but he should've at least included OMG. (I know Monsters isn't a demo but it's unreleased so I see why it's excluded). That said, Monsters, Going Down, OMG, SOG, and the TIL remix would rank higher than several of the officially released songs...

He probably still smokes weed and cigars sometimes. We have no idea obviously, but he was taking puffs from joints that were thrown on stage as late as 2017... but wouldn't his penchant for tequila be more damaging than occasionally smoking?

I don't think that's why people are disappointed with it. It doesn't really go anywhere, it's very repetitive, soaked in effects, it's just not a great song. After The General, Soul Monster was absolutely the next most hyped song, and most people here think it's the best 'leftover' we've heard. It seems to have actually lived up to the hype. So I don't think The General was bound to fail because it had become mythical, it failed because it's boring. I'd say Monsters is the only song we've heard that could've replaced anything on CD... and maybe Hardschool if they'd kept it similar to the Village version. I'd love to hear the Bucket/Robin versions of these songs, but I still don't think The General would've been strong enough to replace anything on CD.

The only appeal of this tour seems to be 'I still want to see Angus live' or treating it like a sendoff. Maybe a few 'residencies' at places like Wembley, Coachella, River Plate, etc with Cliff would've been more exciting. Brian deserves a last hurrah, but he sounded bad at Power Trip and I can't imagine him doing 20+ shows without issues...

It feels like one of the only real 'continuations' of AFD... of course there were older songs on UYI, but Bad Apples has that great guitar interplay, has a Stones-y influence, and shows that if they got their shit together they could still write great songs as a unit. It's probably their most underrated song IMO. As for OIAM... I'm not gonna defend the lyrics but as a whole, it's a great piece of art. Great instrumental, great vocals, and for better or worse the lyrics will evoke some emotion...

Hell yea, in his prime he would've killed it on Piece Of My Heart and Kozmic Blues, too. But these days, I wouldn't want to hear him attempt those... I'd like to hear modern Axl (and Slash) on songs like these...

Yea, I read something whenever her tour started about fans wearing them so they wouldn't miss a second of the show, but this is the first I've heard of this rumour. I know basically nothing about her, but aren't there several stage set-up and costume changes throughout her show? Not like she's on stage for 4 hours straight, and most of her outfits probably wouldn't hide it well...

No, history tells us it will sound worse than it did in 1999

Sounds like it was done quickly with the rock band stems. That guy has several CD remixes (that he made) on his channel, there's no reason to think this isn't fan-made...

Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats are always great. I saw them for the 3rd time last night, but it was the first time they've come to my city... hopefully they liked the crowd response and come back soon

I just realized Bumblefoot's cover of this song isn't on youtube, but he released a nice acoustic version a few years ago.

People always mention Oklahoma, Quick Song, etc. but The Rebel actually sounds like something Slash and Duff would sound great on. I can easily imagine a 'modern' version of it. Zodiac, Tonto, Oklahoma and Circus Maximus are the most interesting from the Village leaks. But I want everything with vocals, whether it's a gem like State Of Grace or a turd like Eye On You, even if that means finally buying a ridiculously priced box set.

"ITS AN TIMELESS BALLAD WITH A BLOW YOUR FACE OFF CHORUS AND A SUCK YOUR BALL SACK BRIDGE!!!!!" -Brain, 2010.

"What could've been" is the best way to describe this band. Imagine they actually met the March 6 2007 date and dropped basically another UYI kind of release. 2 CDs, maybe a couple bonus tracks, just clean the slate again. If they had finished versions of Oklahoma, Tonto or Zodiac, add those somewhere on either album. Going Down definitely should've been somewhere on CD2. OMG and TIL remix could've been bonus tracks. The fact this project dragged on for a decade and Axl's still fucking around with these songs is truly absurd.

Prostitute is the best song on the album tho CD is a great album, but the biggest problem is that we've heard better versions of almost all those songs. The album versions of Rhiad, Catcher, Street Of Dreams, etc sound so lifeless compared to the demos. If there's anything I'd replace on the album, I'd swap This I Love for Monsters. The demo version of Hardschool would've been a good replacement for Scraped or Rhiad, but the single version (which is probably close to the 2008 version) isn't good enough to replace either of them IMO. They should've just dropped 2 albums, 11-12 songs each, in 2008 at the latest.
