Probably just needs a longer musical intro

Literally we might have November rain tonight . Weather looking dodgy.

Really needs to shorten shows, and play majority of songs that suit his low voice.

The new version sounds like a watered down pop version.

He really needs to create/release more songs in his lower register. Absurd, as average the song is, he can perform it no problems. Hard Skool is a good song, it should be on the album, but it shouldn't be the single if it's going to be a challenge to sing.

Bizarre no Patience or Don't Cry, probably the two best songs to sing in any voice condition..

Coma is great but it suffers a bit from those "special effects" and these noises.

I go with Coma, but I think it also suffers a little from the last few minutes. It just overbloats a superb song.

I think there gets to a point that you'rde waging some sort of war, and you finally get to the point where you figure out it's just not worth it, or it didn't work out, you're tired of it all, why did i do this? Axl probably figured this in 2014, maybe particularly at RIR.

So it's probably a case of initial submission, then as things go along, it re-opens the happiness up.

The same youtube account has the other leaks

Back on youtube 

Wow, Sorry sounds great on the Sirius stream.

Surely they can modify the ending of Coma so Axl doesn't kill himself singing it

You do realize it's 2017 and people download music now, right?

Doesn"t stop Ed Sheeran selling 7 million of his latest (extreme example i know)

Also getting back to what Billy is saying, apart from not wanting to waste their time/money recording something, maybe the artist doesn't want to waste their time promoting it too.

Exactly 11 albums went to double platinum in the last 5 years in one year. It's almost impossible to have one of those these days  If GnR had double platinum today that would be on par with the success of UYI.

 

Look at this: http://www.mediatraffic.de/year-end-albums.htm. Bowie, Metallica, Rolling Stones, RHCP, Radiohead and Prince all in top 20 top sellers of the year

Not sure it's impossible. For example if Metallica came up with Enter Sandman for Hardwired.. it would probably double sales, and they are nearly double platinum selling on name alone.

More so it's impossible to come up with some music that is going to be a classic, or it's just not worth the trying. And generally something that does get released is either a lame rehash, or a new direction that falls flat.

If you wanna count last 5 years: Radiohead, Metallica, RHCP, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Green Day, Blur... all had successful and positive received albums. From bands older than GnR both Gilmour and Waters from PF had nicely received albums

I don't think any of them come close to their most successful albums in terms of sales or ingraining itself in the broader music public. Green Day did well with American Idiot and ok with 21st Century breakdown but average since. Metallicas latest album is platinum x 1, whereas the black album is around platinum x 16. Radiohead, RHCP, Pearl Jam haven't had great sales with any of their last few albums

Sales ain't everything I know, but I think at least double platinum (these days) should be the minimum for an album that critics, fans, and casuals would say is a return to some sort of form

When was the last band/singer that started decades ago released something that was very positive critically and/or commercially? 

ACDC with Black Ice?

You can see why they don't bother. More likely to miss, so it's seen as a waste of time and money.

Really needed to pull out a hit single to get the ball rollin.

Should play all the CD songs, just not in one night

Compared to Aerosmith it was embarassing...

 

Aerosmith 17 songs compared to GNR 28 (sung by Axl) songs. Not comparable.

Perfect Crime, You aint the First, Garden, Garden of Eden, Dont Cry alt, My World

Back off Bitch has great music, but the lyrics are pretty average.
