  1. I really wish I could've been around for the release of these albums, was too busy not being alive yet unfortunately. Appetite was the first GNR record I ever bought and listened to, but it really was the Illusions that made me a lifelong fan. Hearing songs like Estranged, Locomotive, Coma etc for the first time as a young kid was something magical, it completely changed my perception of what rock music could be. They were a huge part of my childhood and are definitely my favorite albums of all time

    Where is all this info about the new arrangement and bass line coming from? I'm a little out of the loop 

    There have been a few rehearsals of the song that got recorded and posted online. One was in Mexico last year and it had the new bass intro plus a few seconds of Axl singing. A full instrumental rehearsal was heard a little while ago that showed off the new arrangement of the song

  3. I thought Slash’s TWAT solo was great actually. I don’t expect Slash to try to imitate Buckethead, he has his own style of playing that he’s famous for. He played the solo in his own way, while still keeping Buckets melody in place and I think it worked really well. I wish he took that approach for the TIL solo and other Chinese solos which he doesn’t seem to try to recreate at all

  4. There’s no way they’ll record a new album without Dizzy and Melissa so a back to roots record will probably never happen. It would be nice tho but I’m fully expecting a new record to include old Chinese songs though hopefully re-recorded from the ground up and not using 20 year old vocal tracks. But even more realistic than that I’m fully expecting nothing at all

    I think the 'weirdest' GNR song I've heard on the radio was the alt version of Don't Cry. There's a few stations around here that play all the big hits pretty regularly, plus stuff like Nightrain and Mr Brownstone, but the alt version was pretty surprising to hear.

    Funnily enough I think I've heard the alt lyrics Don't Cry on the radio a lot more than I've heard the original one. A station in my area used to play it all the time, can't blame em tho as I also prefer the alt lyrics

    They covered it a few times in 1988-89 and 2014

    My first GNR concert was the show they played this in 2014, and 7 years and 4 NITL shows later it still stands out as a highlight for me. Don’t think I ever heard the song before that night but I was really impressed with Axl’s performance. We definitely need more songs where he can rock out with his natural voice added to the set

  7. I’m kinda conflicted here. On one hand I was glad the tour didn’t come near me so I didn’t have an excuse to drop a few hundred and go. But with the new Vegas date and being locked inside for over a year I might just bite the bullet and go see my favorite band, even if it’s the same show I’ve seen 4 times already lol. I’ll probably wait until I hear how Axl sounds before I buy any tickets

    Not necessarily... They have played OMG and silkworms live before and they're not album songs?

    OMG had an official release as part of a movie soundtrack, and I believe Silkworms was planned to be on the record at the time they were playing it live. If they play Hardschool live, it will only be because they want to release it officially. That won't ever happen tho but its cool to see they rehearsed it

  9. I mentioned this in the general musing thread but I'll mention it here too, I recently mixed the drum and bass track from the album version of Better onto the Bumblefoot's acoustic version that got leaked forever ago, and I think it ended up being my favorite version of the song. The drums and bass keep the song heavy, which sounds great with the acoustic guitars and the lack of overproduction. Not sure if I'm allowed to post it anywhere so I won't, but I'd definitely recommend trying it out yourself if you can
