I'm guessing Myles will be on one song, but one song on an album isn't too bad... hopefully he's just on a bonus track (assuming there will be bonus tracks like the first Slash & Friends album).

Yep.

You're reading too much into it. GNR brought back a decent amount of deep cuts last year, and nobody should reasonably expect Axl to pull off DDM. Why would there be drama if he plays this one with SMKC?

I'm kinda hoping for Josh Freese again 🤞 I wonder if part of the reason Brain was on tour with them in 2022 was because Slash was working on this album? I'd love to hear what Brain and Slash sound like on an actual new song. I don't think they ever did Parisienne Walkways, but there's a few Moore/Lynott songs I think they'd sound great on...

I'd be happy if Axl was just playing piano... I hope there's at least 1 or 2 instrumental songs on this album, Slash was doing some nice bluesy solo spots a few years ago. I'd love a studio version of Wichita and I don't care whether it's released by GNR or Slash solo, it would be great. I always thought Parisienne Walkways would be a perfect fit for Axl and Slash to cover...

Maybe Oklahoma only has one verse, and that will be Axl's contribution to the song, since I don't see him recording new vocals. I'm pretty sure we'll hear it in a few years on one of Duff's solo albums...

If anything, the mistake was Duff calling it the 'sequel to Civil War'. But I don't think it really makes a difference because now, almost none of us actually expect this song to be finished and released. Imagine we finally hear the lyrics/vocals for Oklahoma, and after 3 decades it's been re-worked into a Duff song that still only has one verse from Axl...

The new Mac Saturn album

I would spend a stupid amount of money on a box set with all the CD era songs up to around 2010. All the demos have been better than the official versions. At the very least, Hardschool and Monsters were a bit dumbed down, but who knows when that actually happened... assuming they really did use the existing drums, and didn't re-structure the songs.

The reddit mods are literally their PR team they've been censoring all criticism for a while now. https://www.thesyn.com/ Can we even be sure Axl's love for Taco Bell is "confirmed"?

It was probably Slash... I'm sure someone here has the video, but he was playing it at a GNR soundcheck a year or two ago, and Duff goes 'what was that?'

Are we reading the same forum? If they're gonna do an 'animated' video, do it properly. This is so poorly done that it's honestly funny. Whoever said this would look dated in 6 months was being very generous... Most here would've been happy with less - a simple live montage like Perhaps, or just a lyric video.

Bad Apples would be cool as fuck! I can't imagine Todd (or Myles lol) on Perfect Crime but it'd be interesting to hear...

Even worse than I expected it to be, and I had really low expectations. The constantly changing 'artwork' looks awful. I honestly laughed out loud when the AFD logo randomly appeared around 40 seconds. I don't hate the concept, but the result looks like shit.

Yea, Sugar Cane is one of the few LTD songs I actually like

Looking forward to seeing videos of Don't Damn Me

I'm surprised they're doing more than a live video or lyric video, but if it's gonna have a story then they should do better than using AI. One step forward, two steps back - they finally do a video with an actual concept, but in the laziest way possible. It'll drop in about 2 hours (9 pst, midnight est)

Yelawolf dropped another freestyle, and announced the first single from his new album is dropping February 16

Some of the selects were in mono ffs But that's not really the point, of course the Ritz was better, it's a great release and was praised on here. Most selects seemed half-assed and got a mixed response. My point was that when the band releases something good, the responses are positive. Despite some oversensitive people thinking this place is full of haterz, the criticism of using AI is valid.

Maybe you're reading my posts as more 'serious' than they are, idk. A cheap video for a throwaway song really isn't a big deal, but it's all we've got to discuss so that's what we're doing. You think I'm imagining the sloppy details in AI animation? Take a closer look at the clip then. There's some weirdo's on here who jump on any criticism as 'whining' or 'hating'. The clipping in The General should've been addressed before it was released, but those who point it out are 'bitching'. Sloppy AI shit from a band that absolutely could afford professional animators deserves criticism, but those who point it out are 'whining'. Give me a fucking break

I assume, based on the subject of the lyrics, it's supposed to look sort of chaotic or frantic. But like many things made by AI, the details are sloppy. The clip they posted actually looks like it could be a good concept, but the execution is what it is

I was specifically talking about the quality of the releases - of course people will prefer the band in it's prime, but the blu ray was very well done, and the selects looked and sounded like they were quickly thrown together with little care. That's the difference. Even with Perhaps, it's not the best music video or anything, but it's well done. Anything 'created' by AI shows how little they care. Like I said earlier, maybe the video will be mostly live footage - I hope it is. I can't really judge it until they release the full thing. But Creative Works posting about it makes it seem like it'll be heavy on AI animation, and the clip we've seen looks like what I'd expect from shitty, cheap AI. Did you not notice literally any details like extra limbs, parts of the characters constantly changing, etc? Of course you didn't notice, but just keep calling anyone who points out very obvious flaws 'whiners'. The band can absolutely afford to produce better stuff than that, and of course a cheap video for a b-side song isn't a big deal. But if they release shit, then people will bitch about it.

Yea, I remember that wild 'theory' when YCBM was released lol. But there weren't many people who thought that, and it wasn't confirmed like the AI animation. So, not really the same thing. Maybe the video will be mostly live shots, which would be nice. But Creative Works posting about it makes me doubt that's the case. I have low expectations but of course I can't really judge the video until I see it.

Most people who are still here would probably tell you this used to be one of the best bands on the planet. Releasing a music video 2 months later, with AI animation, for a very mediocre song, is not something that's gonna excite people. We know they're still sitting on great songs, but they're milking a b-side because it's their down time... I'm glad they've decided to do music videos again but let's not pretend this is anything to be excited about. Compare the reactions to The General vs the reactions to Monsters. Or the reactions to the Selects vs the reactions to Ritz 91. When the band gives us something good, the forum is overwhelmingly positive. Releasing a video with AI animation deserves to be criticized. Just release another live montage, or a lyric video, AI is beyond lazy and lame.

I've been saying for years now that the most interesting thing Slash could do would be a blues album, or another album with guest singers. This is by far the most excited I've been for one of his albums in at least a decade. An Axl collab would be great of course, even if he's just playing piano on an instrumental. It'll be really interesting to see who's on the album, but also who tours for it. I hope he does at least one tour for it without Myles...
