My holy grail now is Seven. It probably won’t live up to expectations but I just wanna make a playlist with The General, Monsters (Soul Monster), Atlas Shrugged and Seven while I rest and watch the sun rise on a grateful universe.

It’s funny how this track has leaked for months now and, pretty much up until its release, people were excited, the overall feeling was “Its an okay song, but hell yeah we’re finally getting The General!” And then suddenly, it became an embarassing shitshow of a song that is worse than My World. The herd effect here is way too strong. All it takes is a few better known posters saying it’s shit for the dominoes to start falling and the whole boards suddenly think so too. I don’t think The General is anything to write home about, but it’s not that bad. I do have some issues with the sound, especialy the digital drums and the sitar effect in the rhythm guitar, but other than that, it’s just a solid track, IMO. Better than Riad and Scraped, for sure, better than a few cuts off UYI and better than Anything Goes, IMO.

I for one think this sounds better than the leak. You can clearly hear a lot more going on, especially during the verses. The only thing that bothers me is how the drums sound, especially the calmer ones, that sound really digital and programmed. I’m not even sure they’re not. I like the vocal effects. I’m not a a big fan of clean vocals, I tend to prefer it when they receive the same treatment as the instruments, and become part of the overall sound of the song and its "aesthetic". The song itself isn’t bad, but its also nothing to write home about either. My second favourite of the released singles so far, behind Perhaps. Didn’t like the single’s cover. It looks like bad fanart to me. I could make something visually more appealing in like an hour 😂

That mistake was nothing compared to the shit show that happened on stage that night. I remember looking at Axl during Sorry and thinking “well, fuck….” It was just a horrible experience. The band came on stage almost when they were supposed to be leaving, cause Axl threw a tantrum backstage, it rained like hell and people were soaked and cold… damn it was so bad.

Ace and Gene seem like people I wouldnt stand being 5 minutes with. Paul and Peter seem a bit better but still kinda irritating.
-
God they look horrible To be fair, a good amount of the GNR fanbase is, in fact, trailer trash
-
Perfect. "omg KISS isnt a serious rock band, bunch of clowns" say the people on a fucking GNR forum 😂 at least KISS knows damn well they’re not an "artistic" band, and they act like they’re aware of this. The worst thing is when fans of bands like GNR, AC/DC, Motorhead and Metallica think these bands are artistically rich and "serious" bands. Like "they’re badass" "KISS are posers" dude, you’re a fan of a 60 year old dude who wears a top hat and indoor sunglasses that keeps posing while he plays. Please.
-
I don’t get why they didn’t partner with Ace and Peter on this. Man, if it were something like “relive the 70s era KISS concerts", I’d be more excited for this than any KISS concert I’ve ever seen.
-
Yeah that sucks
-
I was thinking about this. While I’d still prefer if they replaced Paul and Gene with new members, wearing the same makeup, posing as The Demon and The Starchild, I think I would like to go to an augmented reality KISS concert with no hassle at all, watching a concert from their prime. It would be awesome.
-
I mean… this can be said about lots of bands, including GNR. It comes down to a matter of taste. I personally think KISS, their music and their fanbase are about in the same level of cringe as GNR. It comes down to personal preferences, in the end.
-
I’d prefer ig if Paul and Gene retired and they got replaced for newer The Demon/The Starchild, and this went on forever.

Any Godzilla (and other Kaiju movies) fans here?
Cosmo replied to Cosmo's topic in SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
I wanna watch this so much -
IMO, the only way up is Marty.
-
Quite sad Kiko left the band. Love his playing, he seems like such a nice guy, plus, it’s nice to see someone from where I was born playing in such a huge name band.
-
I absolutely hate the fact big metal bands like Iron Maiden, when they come to France, probably sign a exclusivity contract with Hellfest, and then, to see them, you gotta travel to Clisson, watch a gazillion bands you usually don't/won't like and then travel back home, being that 2 out of the 4 festival days are weekdays. God, I hope Maiden, by some kind of miracle, brings this show to Paris or anywhere near, next year.

Cosmo replied to Cosmo's topic in SEEN THAT MOVIE TOO
Can't wait to see it but it seems it won't be in theatres here. Loved Shin Godzilla, but I think this will be a bit less dark/gruesome, while still dark, kinda like Godzilla 1985. -
Gilby Clarke to open for Slash in Chile
Cosmo replied to DoMw94's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I like Gilby, I really enjoy his playing, but I'm not at all familiarised with his solo stuff. Haven't listened to a single second of one of his songs. -
Music video is out: Kinda low budget but y'know, it's just a music video for youtube

This dude should take over the MCU at this point
