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

Hope you told him the vocals were two decades old?
I don’t think too many people would care about that as much as you do

Had to pick up the Vegas litho while I was there last night, it’s definitely my favorite of the designs I’ve seen on this tour. Only the second time I’ve bought a litho at a show too and the quality of it actually seems a lot better than the one I got in 2017
Just got to buy a frame for it now

Just chiming in to say Mammoth WVH fucking rocked. That was my first time ever hearing them and I am definitely going to be buying their album tomorrow

I’ll be at this show, so if Hard School gets played that’s why. You’re welcome

I’d love for Hardschool to finally be played at this show. It might be too close to Absurd, I’m not sure how these things are usually spaced, but I think it could make sense if they plan on doing a physical release so they could get both of those songs on it.

Listened to the Bumblefoot version again, and the out of time line is there too so it is definitely intentional. After a million listens I don't even notice it anymore either
-
The first new GNR track with Slash in 30 years is Silkworms. How Absurd is that
I am really liking the song too, and I’ve always hated Silkworms

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

So in the description it says we’ll get The Godfather theme, SCOM, and TWAT at least. Hopefully TWAT is good, I don’t really remember how that sounded in 2016.

Bad Obsession.
Bad Obsession is one of those songs that would be great with Axls current voice since there’s no rasp. Hoping they bust it out because it’s just a solid tune in general as well

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

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
-
Honestly I like the version of Riad that ended up on the album, even more than the leaked versions tho I definitely prefer the short intro. The song itself is far from my favorite on CD, but I enjoy it enough that I won’t skip when it comes on. The verses are ok and I really dislike the immigrant song screams but the chorus is great and that’s what saves the song imo

I really wish they’d stop using black and white for all the photos they post. Great picture of Axl and Angus regardless, it’s cool to see a casual Axl instead of what we see on stage

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

The offbeat singing is fantastic. Great attention to detail lmao
-
Out of every song that leaked, Atlas Shrugged by far has the most play time for me. I still wouldn't call it my favorite of the leaked songs, but I love the vibe of it and its been a regular listen of mine since it first got leaked

Riad and Scraped are fucking awful, that'a why! I mean they are sooooo bad they offend my ears!
Riad’s actually a decent song but it could be so much better without the Immigrant Song style screaming between the verses
-
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
-
Just put the drum track of Better on top of Bumblefoot's acoustic version and damn its badass. Favorite version of the song by far

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
