Opinions on the leaked songs
Caught_in_a_Coma replied to LandOla's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Monsters is very catchy, and a very good track. The General will be divisive due to the subject material and lyrics used to address it. I think it's a good song but I probably won't revisit it often. -
I know what you mean. I feel and hear pain when he sings that line (especially with the hurt/angry cat-like backing vocal). It makes listening to the General half of the song feel sad rather than enjoyable. But I think it gives the song bite and does whatever Axl wanted it to do. The Monster half of the song moves away from that and I feel that half of the song a more enjoyable experience. I think they're great tracks (or a singular great track) and remind me a bit of Coma (and a bit of Oh My God).

It's clear a lot of great Chi-Dem era material was left unreleased. Did we just need to be more patient? Did Axl need to compromise a little and release a taste to give people confidence in and patience for CDII? Do Axl, Slash and Duff really have enough left in the tank to make an album that doesn't use Chi-Dem 2 leftovers?

I was under the Impression that Jackie Chan IS Hard Skool and was being worked on around 97. So if that is true, we've at least been able to hear that song. We know a decent amount about unreleased songs from the ChiDem era and we know Izzy and Slash say there was stuff being worked on in the mid 90s but we don't seem to know as much about them.

OP I could see you being right, but I'm also wondering if maybe he felt he had too many piano-ballad songs centered on lamenting something lost already on ChiDem in Street of Dreams, Catcher (now that I think about it, I can't remember if Catcher is very piano driven but it is more of a ballad with a theme of loss) and This I Love and felt Perhaps would thematically and musically sound or feel redundant so it was being saved for ChiDem II

Wasn't there a rumor that Axl and/or GN'R and/or Team Brazil felt underwhelmed by the level of attention Hard Skool generated? If that's true, hopefully they're feeling better about this one. I personally prefer Hard Skool (though I really miss that guitar intro heard in the demo version, it's a crime that was removed) but I think it and Perhaps would both be viewed as solid GN'R tracks had they released in the UYI era or another point in the 90s and had years of legacy behind them. Is anyone really going to argue most of the filler tracks on UYI are better than Hard Skool or Perhaps?

Perhaps Solo: Why?
Caught_in_a_Coma replied to Jakey Styley's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I liked Finck's solo more >_< but at least the song has been officially released. I'd love a Chinese Leftovers box set that released the NuGuns demos of these songs alongside their finalized versions. I think that would be a great compromise but it probably won't happen. The song has a late 90s/early 00s feel to me that I love. It's like it captured the sound of a moment in time and even though it released much later, it still has that feel. -
Favourite Post-Reunion GN'R Single Poll

Hard Skool. If Absurd wasn't so different from Silk Worms, I'd have gone with that one. -
Perhaps – Official Music VIDEO
Caught_in_a_Coma replied to jamillos's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
They made a video!? Way to go GN'R! Can we appreciate how Axl has gradually and consistently lost weight since the semi-reunion started? I respect that. It takes dedication and self control. Axl has reached a point where you can say "he looks pretty great".
