The title " X Leaves No Room for Doubt!" sounds like a totalitarian state controlled newspaper headline for me 

But yea jokes aside I have to agree with you.

Monsters has strong Bowie influences, especially thinking of Blackstar and Outside. 

Very strange indeed. In both tracks I had the same Blackstar feeling as well as Björk's Joga. particularly towards the end of The General.

How is it difficult to understand that somebody might not agree with the overall direction the band took vs enjoying some tracks of this era. I can only speak for me and despite that I like TG/Monsters, they still sound sonehow weird. But these are not the only songs I enjoy. Better, Sorry, TWAT ... all excellent songs... I always admited that. But I still wish they'll do something more traditional sounding. No reason to think you can't stay true to your roots and still create epic tracks

Zero problems with disagreements and different opinions.

The issue begins when people bully those who like NuGnr band or members of that era.

Cheers buddy.

To be fair, even if you may disagree with this, adding a guitar tone and presence to music from the nuGNR era, does change the overall sound.  And since for many people a lot of GNR's whole thing is Slash on guitar, it makes sense that people would be more excited hearing Axl's tunes with more of the sounds and guitar tones of the guy from 1987-1993 on them

So I don't think it is ridiculous at all, all you need is "Monsters" to hear the results.  Some great Slash licks that blend his tenure in classic GNR to Axl's songwriting to make it more "GNR feeling" to most people

Agree or disagree, I think that point of view should at the very least be respected - no matter what "classic GNR purists" people you have argued with in the past regarding your own preferences

I can completely understand the point you're making. I just think it's not necessary to ridicule Buckethead for his work on CD songs. It's unfair. But that's me.

Velvet Revolver had a far better chance of any of these wild fantasies you guys have about the NuGNR lineup.

Just to clarify, please exclude me from those having these fantasy. I don't.

I actually don't think NuGnr would save rock or take the world by storm. I just think it could have been a good solo package for Axl had he managed it properly.

and look outside of Chinese Democracy release in 2008, how many songs came outside of that in a span of more than a decade? that's right fucking none

I'm in no way defending Axl, his stupid management or how he had handled his band circa 98-2014.

Quiet the opposite I'm a harsh critique of him in this case. He's a jackass, messy, lazy and a hell of a procrastinator. good?

I'm just saying it's ridiculous that the majority of the AFD/Reunion fans keep bashing the NuGnr band while at the same time being excited about the music that is being released from that era.

What exactly is your point on here besides just being really shitty to people because they don't agree with you that nuGNR is the best version of GNR?

So that you can experience how it feels to receive tons of shit. Happens everytime I praise NuGnr.

Yes, you should be grateful. Is the way It should be. 

If that's the logic for you and many others here then I have nothing else to say. A reunion tour that lasted longer than the lifespan of the original band. KISS No. 2 lol

You think him and Duff have a fucking say in releasing new "new" music and force Axl to write and record new shit in the studio? lol

Do you know what band you're talking about? 

So your dear Slash and Duff knew they're not more than contract members, yet they did it for the 'love' of the fans?

What a sacrificing human beings.

Thank you so much for your enlightenment.

and whose fault is that?

Is he a hired gun? he doesn't have a say in GNR?

or wait... why bother when he can just earn millions with no studio effort?

I mean, all he's done since the reunion is deliver zero new tunes and rip off fans with a non-stop cash grab tour of the oldies. 7 years and no new music (releasing songs created by NuGNR doesn't count).

What bothers me the most is the NuGnr haters keep making fun of that era while enjoying the CD leftovers.

At least don't shit where you eat you ugrateful bunch

Oh come on, we all love the wanking robot during the breakdown of ‘Better’!! 🤖 💦 

It's quite a talent to make a wanking robot sound in addition to the thousand other techniques he knew. Better than jerking off the same blues guitar over & over ;-)

If Axl didn't no-show Philly 2002, they could have taken the world by storm. That band had so much talent, potential, and who knows how high of a ceiling. The Philly no show, which triggered the tour being cancelled as well as Buckethead leaving, is what doomed NuGNR.

Very well said. Thank you.

Oh yeah Slash should have been more faithful to the era and add fretless elephant noises nobody cares about to the middle section lol

Although I disagree, but it was funny as hell 🤣

this guys think  a niche guitar player (Buckethead)  and  someone good but not great (robin fink)  have they stayed /released music would take GNR to a different level /bury the old band.

nothing farther from the truth.

Also a good one lol

(But yeah I strongly believe in that)

Enjoy the CD tracks folks.

Hmm... Btw when do we hear something written by Slash for GNR this time round?

Slash gave it this bluesy take

If only Slash could do something other than 'Bluesy take' on CD leftovers... 

So how do you NewGnr haters like the new tunes? enjoying? hehe

I hate to correct people tbh. 😀 sorry 🤣🤭

I raised my eyebrows at that too. SOYL is a cut song from Appetite For Destruction's album. IIRC, SOYL was canned so Think Of You could be on the album.  A LOT of Fans were like,"What the hell? SOYL is a much better song than TOY, and it should have been the other way around."

Think About You*

Didn't know Shadow of Your Love is a brand new single.

I bought one!  Gonna talk to him on Sunday!!!  

1. Could you please ask him why is he credited in NIN's Quake 2020 Vinyl remaster? was he actually involved in creating the original Quake soundtrack?

2. Ask him about his solo album status
