Killing Floor - Slash feat. Brian Johnson
WhazUp replied to Free Bird's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I came into this topic wanting to see what people thought of the Killing Floor cover, and instead its just a bunch of people arguing over SMKC and over-thinking things way more than Axl during the Chinese Democracy era Instead of extrapolating and guessing what Slash's heart is or isn't into, what do we all think about this Killing Floor cover? I personally like it a lot, and I like seeing Slash do his own thing with it unrelated to Zeppelin's variation which turned into The Lemon Song -
Unreleased Steven Wilson Appetite Atmos Remix
WhazUp replied to ToonGuns's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Steven Wilson is not only one of the greatest prog rock musicians of the last 30 years, he is a brilliant remixer both in spatial audio and stereo (his remixes of the Yes and Jethro Tull catalogue are stellar) It is baffling GNR wouldn't want another amazing representation of their music out there. Atmos is pretty popular right now and it would have definitely gotten a lot of people to check out AFD and the Illusions even more -

How come you only come online and post to just berate people? I can't remember a single time you have talked about music here -
The General Music Video Discussion Thread
WhazUp replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I like the overall concept, but the AI art and the way the visuals flow make it very hard to watch, like idk how to describe it besides visual motion sickness? -
Nuno says now that he owes Richard an apology, what was stopping him all these months from just DMing Richard himself and doing just that? Lol I know Nuno was asked about it here via an interview so he didn't go out of his way to bring up the little back-and-forth, but to me the answers he gives still have the sense of self-importance to them

any GNR songs with drop tuned gtrs?
WhazUp replied to AxlRQ93's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Going through my mental library these come to mind: Cinnamon Girl by Neil Young and Black Water by the Doobie Brothers are in double drop D from what I recall CCR used drop D in the 70s I believe (I Heard It Through the Grapevine and Ramble Tamble for example) and definitely Zeppelin for tunes like Moby Dick and Ten Years Gone. Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen (1978) was in drop D as well. Fleetwood Mac is another example I can think of, in 1975 doing drop D for "World Turning" and later on Rumors (Drop D but with a capo on fret 4 for Never Going Back Again) Definitely later on in further decades Drop D became more prevalent and ingrained in styles, like heavier metal and grunge - that said it was for sure a compositional technique used in the '70s a decent amount. Even if you take away the bands Sabbath paved the way for such as Pentagram who used drop tuned guitars in the '70s in that more heavy metal style -
any GNR songs with drop tuned gtrs?
WhazUp replied to AxlRQ93's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
At the Golden God awards - DJ Ashba on SCOM! Drop tuning meaning, it sounds like his guitar was tuned by someone dropping it -
Yeah unlike Monsters where it has a ton of guitar parts such as the leads and even the repating lick during the chorus that sounds Slash-ified, The General seems just like the only real guitar-centric parts are what you stated - the wah bits from Slash and the outro solo. Outside of a different mix bringing certain elements up or down, beyond a few of those guitar licks and the outro solo being different, I can't imagine the nuGNR version being much different at all

Out of all the nuGNR era guys, I always really liked Fortus the best I think. He has the chops and the ability to just lay it down rhythmically, and having that sort of sweet spot of being able to do the Chinese-era shred stuff but also the blues rock elements to fit with the old stuff too I dig his playing in that video

Regarding why Monsters was leaked alongside The General, not that I think they are the same song like the way Rocket Queen's two sections are but I do still have a theory of them being linked in some way Like, maybe they were originally side-by-side on the followup to CD or something and were meant to be played one after the other. Both have Beltrami orchestration and you can easily interpret the lyrics to Monsters as some anger and then closure to The General

I get what you are saying, but to me I have seen no post that leads me to believe they are making up hearing the clipping Emporer's New Clothes style, just to have something to complain about. The clipping is pretty prevalent as has the loudness wars in the music industry in general - and to me I am seeing more or less a reaction to that rather than it being merely hyperbolic complaining by those who hate everything about GNR nowadays

I don't have much in the way of GNR vinyl but I do have a 180g reissue of Appetite that came in this box with a AFD cover T-shirt, I have the banned cover (original pressing) and Chinese on vinyl that I got at Best Buy the day of the album release
