Not a first time listen but a first of really soaking in the music and emotions, the lyrics and that incredible ‘Hendrix’ inspired guitar playing. A very different sound and style compared to only a few years earlier with 3121 and Musicology. Is it my favourite work of his, no, but I truly enjoy it for its unique and diverse style compared to the rest of his catalogue. The inclusion of a cover of Crimson and Clover was a real surprise to me, I’m not actually a fan of that original song but Prince is a guy than can take someones song and truly give it a “purple” twist, adding in Wild Thing was just his cherry on top. Colonized Mind, Dreamer, Wall of Berlin and Feel Good Feel Better are the highlights for me. Very powerful album, some very psychedelic moments you almost feel transported back 5 decades! 
Also after a read up of the musicians the helped on this album I was pleasantly surprised to see a return of Michael Bland and Sonny T. Love those guys! 

Always at his best instrumentally when Bland and Sonny was by his side. I've met Sonny, such a chill MOFO that exudes cool! Now just wonder what outtakes/albums are in the vault with Bland and Sonny...stuff like this surprise from the SDE...I mention vault, since we always are talking about vaults here on MYGNR...I won't drift the topic off too much from here ..just filling a lull 😉

This one definitely moving slower to 1000, we have a chance 😉

I suppose it's quite quaint that this thread still gets attention. 

There can't be too many people left around who think that GNR will ever write and record a new album now. 

 

Yea but like a walker in season 1001 of WD we still flash a wry smile when we take one out....😸

Dude I had the exact same comparison in my mind! The low vocals sound like Till… but drunk or something 😂 

Off topic, your name inspired me to give Lotusflower a listen earlier, what an album! pure brilliance. 

That's when the forums at its best...after all, we're just a bunch of diehard music fans with lots of eclectic taste beyond the joys of just Guns! 

Good stuff dude! First ever listen? Personally, I think Lotus boxset is a late career masterpiece, it's full of amazing diverse guitar work (started and bookended with some cool psychedelic work too! 🎸⚡ and some of his most political songs in many a decade....lots of colour in the music and different vibes... Political wise - Colonized being one, Dreamer is the real highlight though and just blast out this extended live version he did a year before transitioning to the afterworld...he was there right at the start of what we now know as Black Life's Matter...

For Freddie Gray...killed by the police...

Channeling Hendrix and then some

Holy crap!!! That was an emotional journey 😂 “what I did, I did for yoooooouu” 👏🏼😅

By the end of second play (yes I clicked twice...😝) I was having images of this being Rammstein, but after they've passed on to hell, while on the devil's dandruff, 10 skull glasses of petrol down and someone said...Hell Karaoke anyone? MONSTErrrrrrS

Snooze ya lose...

Ken Mur beats Axl to the punch again! 

@D4NNYhe's back! Do an Iron Maiden and Run for the fucking hills! 😸🎱

Anyone else still waiting for their vinyl pre-order? I've emailed UMG Canada multiple times and they are not responsive at all...

Join the queue to Mars and sue uncle Ax!

I like a few of the songs from Myles Kennedy's Ides Of March album.

I don't think I could stand his singing for more than an hour though, if that. 

Is that his CD2 cover album? 😆😸

Slash is still 58. He will be 59 on the 23rd of July.

So he is...for some reason I thought he had hit it for a moment. Obviously Steven next year too...but current original members I meant. Slash was always the baby...

Gosh, wonder what the road to 70 will look like, weird to think about them like that, when looking back at footage of them causing havoc in their 20s....

They've all hit 60 now! Drawing the pension soon boys! Although Duff is a very good looking 60! Especially considering the previous lifestyle... shows you can recover with serious changes...

2024...

The year of fan fiction begins...

Up yours Duff 🍻

UK tour? 🤞

Seems Axl has a thing for Ferris wheels....they were the ending to the Catcher video too...🤷

We can call him the BMX Bandit...as well, it fits his M.O

Well at least they confirmed 100% for sure, the songs theme...the rest is playground...😆

What’s the Slash version of “getting the corn”? Because that guy will probably get it 

Like the wet bandits, Slash has a calling card, it is a big fat python through your letter box after having all your locks changed....🐍

I lost you at "make the fan base happy"......

I mean, of course, I'm dealing with a place called fantasy land, where we make the fuckin rules 😸

I wonder if this video will get a Blu-ray release.

Just kidding! Don't want to give them any ideas.

Maybe a bonus feature on a proper live Blu-Ray....now that's an idea I want them to have and finally birth! Release one or sell the reunion live/docu to Netflix or Disney (they are enjoying streaming gigs of late) and make the fan base happy in the "quiet" transition year...🤞

even if Slash and Duff rerecorded just 6 tracks and we've already heard 5 of them from the Chinese era, they can always rerecord some more Chinese tracks. in one of the interviews Duff gave, the interviewer asked if Axl got a "zillion" tracks in his vault and Duff said that he does/that it's true.

this doesn't mean I wouldn't like them to come up with brand new material, but it's possible that Axl will continue the drip for years in theory at least.

I think it would be silly not to officially release Monsters and that Atlas is one of the strongest unreleased tunes with vocals. Axl wanted to release it as part of Chinese Democracy so I think there's a good chance that one will be released at some point in the future.

Which interview ? You have a link please?

This thread has probably put more time, effort and thought into the video than anyone involved in it. 

Like the terrible production and mix of the song itself, it's kind of sad how little Axl seems to care about how something is released now.

Maybe that lack of care could see more things being released though.....

It already is....and that's the one silver lining, I suppose....

Monsters maybe this year now....

Someone should make a new thread lol. 

Very lame of them to try to censor stuff. 

Been like that a while....thought Reddit used to be about community free speech...now it's a censorship speak easy!

"Kickstart" implies there is more to come in 2024. 

That's the dictionary definition but GNR have their own take on vocabulary....

Do we think Axl is even aware this exists...

Surely The General is aware of The General!

The funniest thing ever would be for it to quietly be taken down after a day or two....
