    I'm always eager to hear new Guns N' Roses songs, but after hearing how organic and lively Duff's new album and Slash's new blues stuff sound, I'm not that excited to hear those Nu-Guns -era songs anymore. They're cool compositions and nice things to have, but they do sound kind of stale in comparison to examples mentioned above.

    This. It's really frustrating that Axl can't let go of the Chinese stuff. If he was sitting on the greatest songs ever written, maybe. But that's clearly very far from the truth.

    This is just a waste of time and disrespectful to the current band, especially Slash.

    Back in the day I read things like he isn’t able to hit the notes when he starts doing the fast runs on the Nightrain outro and things like that. It was exactly the same sloppiness which made his sound and guitar playing unique. Slash was NEVER technically perfect and rock n roll was never meant to be perfect. If you wanna sterile guitar playing Buckethead might be the better choice instead of looking for the slightest technical inaccuracy in a great sounding guitar solo.

    Yeah, judging each second of a guitar solo individually is a bit embarrassing, lol.

    There is almost no chance a full-fledged new Guns record is ever released. The absolute best-case scenario you can hope for is that they decide to release an original (as in, completely new - not a rehash of any Chinese era song) track as part of a movie soundtrack or something. If someone writes a big enough check, I think that's a possibility somewhere down the road.

    At this point, I just don't see any chance for really new, inspired GnR music. Axl just can't do it, it is what it is. These Chinese leftovers age terrible, it's all shit, basically. It doesn't even feel like real music to me. 

    I'm just glad I realized that I can still get excited about new Slash stuff, I guess.

  4. Slash's latest releases, the guest spot with the Dandy Warhols and now the Killing Floor cover with the album to be released in May made me think.

    I really love those tracks and Slash's playing on both songs are just as good as anything from back in the day.

    I haven't felt that kind of excitment for the man's work in a long time.

    I really dislike SMKC at this point because it's super boring and uninspired to my ears and the GnR approach with these Chinese leftovers is just a collosal failure in my opinion.

    So, I really hope Slash keeps on doing new and different things from here on out and doesn't waste too much time with his established bands.

    Anybody agree?
