  1. I love the album, but wouldn't consider it on par with CD quality wise. Rod Jackson is a great songwriter with a unique voice. While I agree that 5 O Clock has better riffs, I will never understand people preferring Dover. Fucking awful singer.
  2. I prefer Axl Rose the artist (1983-2010) to Axl Rose the traveling jukebox (2011-).
  3. I disagree in the sense that I think 4 was great instrumentally, a very diverse and inspired set of songs from Slash. He just needs a real songwriter to collaborate with.
  4. TIL has some of Axl's best melodies and a great hook, which is why it's always been the casuals favorite from CD. It's lyrics are very simplistic, but most songs popular with the general public are.
  5. I LOL'd seeing all the complaints in Maiden Reddit about Bruce keeping the same vocals from the 10 year old Eternity demo. For obvious reasons.
  6. Both Perhaps solos are mediocre. Both were also far more than such an atrocious song deserved.
  7. You sound like a Trump cultist. Didn't realize Axl had his own Qanon.
  8. I'm just curious about the vocal section after the chorus and before the solo that was axed from the final version.
  9. Don't care for it at all, trite lyrics and bland melodies. Only really liked the second album. Stapp is probably the best singer and songwriter from the post grunge genre (incredibly low bar, I know) and I thought The Madness was more consistent than any Creed album. Don't recall the Weiland album that much, might go back and listen again at some point.
  10. If The World is a fantastic song. Some of Axl's best melodies and amazing vocals. It's haters can never come up with anything really substantive to say about why it supposedly sucks so much, just general statements about it sounding like James Bond or a porn soundtrack. In particular this is one of the few CD songs I would have really liked to hear Slash play, since I think the Latinesque guitars would really suit his style. But Axl couldn't come close to singing it these days. Scraped is a song that people seem to latch on to one part of it that they hate (In this case the intro) and then say the entire thing sucks. It has cool riffs, cool lyrics besides the cringe "don't you try and stop us now", and a great groove. The General is a decent song but it's drenched in Marilyn Manson type effects that don't fit Axl's voice, and the melody Brain/Xtract came up with is cheesy and detracts from the serious nature of the lyrics.
  11. 1.Better 2.Madagascar 3.This I Love 4.Catcher In The Rye 5.If The World 6.Shackler's Revenge 7.Monsters 8.Oh My God 9.Street Of Dreams 10.Prostitute 11.Chinese Democracy 12.Hard Skool 13.Scraped 14.There Was A Time 15.The General 16.Riad N The Bedouins 17.Sorry 18.IRS 19.Absurd 20.Perhaps
  12. My ranking: Monsters-Great song through and through. Prefer the solo in the cell clip to Slash's bluesy take Hard Skool-Great song, final version suffers from horrid echo effect on the vocals, but has superior guitar work to the demo. The General-Good song ruined by too many effects and a weak melody from Brain/Xtract Absurd-Shit song. Abrasive riffing contrasts poorly with the punk vocals, Silkworms was much better Perhaps-Outside of the main piano melody, this song is just pure vomit. Worst song from the CD era. Fucking awful in every respect. Demo is more listenable but both versions are awful
