BPM dropped, it's quite obvious. The songs sound a lot closer to the studio tempos now, Axl isn't singing as static and rushed anymore (had he prepared he'd sound above alright by now) and Slash plays out the actual notes and melodies with proper bends, slides, hammer-on's etc. instead of just fake-shredding and noodling like before. Sounds more like GNR now, at least to me.

You know you can decrease BPM's and still have a click. They probably are still using a click. To know if they are using it you'd have to hear Frank's In ear. and an indication they weren't using it is to increase and decrease BPMS during the same song

From the same cd they could also still pick out Goin Down, Perhaps, State of Grace and As it Began as possible songs that they revamped or just started playing as is with different slash solos. All of the above are stronger than Silkworms / Absurd in my humble opinion, but happy for them to play anything new. If this is what they're into, at least we get to see it and that's fine. But maybe the others will be picked up as well and that's cool to see

Slash isn't playing Ron's parts though. While the basic structure is the same as the BBF demo, all the lead guitar work is completely different. It seems like the chorus riff has been altered as well.

He still says absurd in the last leak, exactly like he did here. All slash did was play the guitar leads in his own style, but they didn't change anything from that leak that bumble worked on

They probably heard it for the first time last week 😂

I thought it was the weakest of all the leaks so I heard it twice before, it was hard to remember that I already heard this exact version. I just remembered there was a new leak in 2018. Yeah looking back, same shit but bumble isn't on this one. So it's at least as far back as 2014.

Guys not sure what was discussed here before, but the 2018 leak of Silkworms is exactly the same song with the same chorus that Axl sang last night. Not sure if Duff and Slash did more than play the parts already played on that leak with their own style. But the lyrics and arrangements are the exact same ones. So Whatever they did is based on the 2018 leak

EDIT just noticed the other thread.sorry!

Will Fortus still be in the band? That seems a little up in the air with all the gear he's selling. 

 

He has stated multiple times he is selling a lot of gear to buy a very expensive guitar... this kind of speculation is so stupid. Fortus isn't going anywhere,

I don’t know how to post a FB post here, but Richard is selling a huge number of guitars and amps on something called the Chicago Music Exchange... if I could’ve posted it, it’s a moving truck full of guitars and amps for sale it appears to me... Pretty stark example of the economics of rock n roll. One day you’re a rockstar with 799 guitars, the next you’re in a pawn shop... that’s the way I see it- if anyone knows more about it, please chime in. 

He is selling gear to buy a guitar that probably costs something like 1 million dollars. It's a 58 or 59 Les Paul. Highly collectable. Kirk Hammet did the same to buy his greenie Les Paul when Gary Moore passed away. I don't think Fortus has any issue with money nor salaries, You don't buy a guitar like that unless you have enough assets.

need to see the 40 min version. Only saw the 7 minute one and it was great

The earlier Dead Daisies albums aren't that great imo but the new one (with Glenn Hughes and Doug Aldrich) is amazing. Not a bad song on it and it blows all the earlier ones with Fortus/Dizzy out of the water.

damn right, the last dead daisies record is their best by far and the best rock record i head this year. Bassline is the catchiest rock tune out there! Glen killed it!!! and so did Doug

has anyone noticed that neither slash nor duff follow frank on IG? Beta isn't following Frank either 

i actually heard that version of DJ being asked to joing NITL from a close source, at the time i couldn't didn't want to believe it but i trusted the source as it had close contact with Axl. And sure enough DJ confirmed it soon after. From what i heard he had a contract sent and was gonna do it, but Naty said no and he treasures his marriage like any wise man should. But hey it is what it is. 

yes i have

we've all waited for so long, that it seems like no one cares anymore. Let's just enjoy their past hits and live on with our lives. Nothing to see here...

Yeah, she is first grade cunt. However, she is partially black and that is what the DNC has set forth to back Biden. It’s funny the DNC announced months ago it would be a women of color, which they meant partially colored. They would never back a full Black person. 

cof barack obama?

I miss that period in GNR. It was dangerous and raw and exciting. Things we can never say about the band anymore

Well, seems it wasnt just me who felt this way!!!

Agree on everything my friend!

I also agree with every word and feel exactly the same. It's been a while since slash impressed me and he used to do it quite easily. I remember going to the SMKC concert last year or so and taking the longest breaks to get drinks or go to the bathroom when he did the long solos because it was so boring. And i play guitar and started playing because of him. Never though this would come. I still like the guy and he's a beast. But too many notes per second.

I don’t know where to post this and I don’t feel it deserves a thread. But the Euro Tour poster has an updated version of the AFD cross, including dizzy, 4tus, Melissa and frank. Old looks for the big 3 tho

where can we see it?

creativity has died

I'm not expecting it to happen, but honestly I feel that way about all my interviews

But if it did happen it would be epic! in the meantime! see if Frank and Brain are up for something. Those two together should be epic!!!

jesus, that was the best time i've had watching a podcast! Please do one with Brain and Frank... you could even invite matt... Awesome job brando

GNR = MONEYGRAB

sounds loose, like always

This is the worst band to be a fan of. Axl managed to release one album in 30 years since the UYI records. That tells us how much we can expect from him until he dies. He clearly doesn't wan't to release music or do anything other than playing the same concert for the last 20 years. Line ups change but the band is what it is. Minimum effort, give back nothing. Interaction Zero.

So much so they have convinced me to stop caring too, i guess we can all reminisce on what our favorite incarnation was and see their concerts or listen to the records they released but we can't expect them to do what obviously they don't like doing.

It's a shame when they have peers like metallica that seem so motivated to make music, create art and share it with their fan base. In fact most bands feel joy from this. Axl prefers to just "Shut up and sing". Oh well, i'm happy the tour got postponed, maybe i'll get my money back and i don't have to put up with a fat singer, out of breath that doesn't care about anything other than drinking soda and eating carbs in the couch all day.

Axl is pissing away a god given talent for over 30 years. His legacy will be procrastinating for 3 decades. I'm sad i believed in him for so long and actually though there was something else preventing him to release music and do what's expected of an artist. In fact he was just happy being himself.
