Anyone remember that story of how TB members had to turn off Axls cable to prevent him from seeing a news story about him on tv, or something to that effect? How hard do you think Fernando is trying to make sure Axl didn’t find out before the show..

Does it not bother anybody else how fucked these vocals are, for Axls standards.. the effects that he hides his voice behind.. the bizarre layering.. he has one of the best voices in music history, showcased on many CD songs… The instrumentals are absolutely amazing.. it’s the vocals that just kill it for me.. even the rasp used in the bridge of Monsters just doesn’t sound right at points.. sounds like an Axl cover singer.. just shocked

It’s sad. I hear the makings of absolute epics, all time classics. But it’s only half of that. I really feel like Axl fell short. He wanted to use voices that didn’t make him famous… all this spoken singing and weird mega-phone effects just really bring these down. The general repeats the first verse nearly identically in the second verse.. the last 4 lines are scratch vocals or he just gave up on writing the lyrics. Fuck man I wish I could get with these tracks but the ideas Axl came up with just don’t get them there. I’m just very let down by Axl in the way he’s putting out these songs in lesser form than they could be. Perhaps became unlistenable for me because of Axls vocal takes. I can’t imagine the dudes in the band vibed with a lot of these vocal takes either..

I LOVED Axls lyrics on State of Grace. More general lyrics about human beings and the corruption and emotions we see and feel. The General misses the mark with me… the daddy lyrics just miss the mark for me. What, did Axl re hash some lyrics from ‘Daddy, Can The Devil Do Mommy and Me?’ And Monsters is just the same old shit as hard school. We were a pair, we broke up, it was all your fault.. just fucking lame.

This just further confirms that Axl should’ve in fact written another appetite. These songs and all of the shitty tacky vocal effects are not good. This is why Axl was told he has 2 to 3 good songs.. can hardly make out half of the vocals. I finally understand why these songs were shelved for decades.

You know the vocals are mixed like shit when you can’t even make out half of the words to both songs. Just like Street of Dreams’ demo, or state of Grace, the last lines of the general are just Axl singing the melody, presumably waiting for the right lyrics to come to mind. Both songs just sound completely muffled, with no good structure. The only good part in both songs is really the rasp breakdown on Monsters, and even those vocals just sound a little weird. This fuckin sucks

This is AC/DCs festival. It’s their moment.

Love how Axl goes for it on the Perhaps chorus. It’s just a little out of control, and it’s fucking awesome.

anybody else pissed off by Izzy?

I cherish his one-offs with NuGNR. He doesn’t like the limelight at all, wants no attention, I respect that. It’s a real shame he can’t be onstage with the current lineup though. As OP said, the band is buttoned up and professional now, Izzy could probably roll with that. One day, hopefully -
Here's a video I made on the CD tour. It's part one, so it covers years 1994-2001 leading up to the CD tour. Tried to get in as many details as I could. I think you guys will enjoy Also, here's my favorite video I've made, covering Axl/DC in detail.

I guess it would be so GNR to have their most anticipated unreleased A-List song be named the working title named after chicken. Kinda like their first single being ‘new material’ being Absurd. With rumors that the songs lyrics are about something as serious as child abuse, especially to Axl, I just can’t imagine him not re-naming the song.
