Welcome to the internet 

The problem isnt the use of AI really, the problem is the use of cheap AI.

They couldve done better with the use of professional AI, instead they took the cheap one and did a really bad video of it. 

Any of us could actually do a video like this anytime and without any previous video editing knowledge. Its cheap, and being cheap isnt the problem, the problem is it really looks bad. 

I believe had they really released it as The General and Monsters it could be viewed another way, but The General alone was a really bad choice, the song is bland and goes nowhere, its like a straight line. 

Monsters at least had somewhat of a catchy melody that would allow the masses to enjoy it.

Forum people like us are biased and irrelevant in the grand scheme.

I’m thinking it’s cause of the subject matter… plus it’s a B-side, so I’m actually shocked it’s getting artwork and not just being slapped onto “Perhaps” for the streaming services.

Nah, artwork for Absurd and Perhaps are terribly designed too, so its a pattern unfortunately.

Better than anything with skulls and skeletons (like most lithos).

Its not really about the concept, but the design choices, they clearly dont have a professional doing their artwork aside, maybe, for Hardschool, that was better designed.

I thought exactly the same- but people seem to really like it?

Looks like cheap shit to me, when the lithos are (largely) fantastic. 

Yeah, i can get people enjoying it but as an art director I cant handle their recent artwork. They all look sooo cheap. 

I feel fool for still follow them, imagine how I feel having the huge collection I have lol

but it is what it is. 

Yeah, I even tried to shift the pitch a little to get more low gains and mix it with the original but the result was almost the same once mixed with the instrumental tracks. 
 

They ruined a great track with this.

instrumentally sounds much better. Axls vocal still sounds like he's singing through a cone in a hollow room. could probably do with some bass and reverb added to it. or another vocal track. 

Yeah, i tried to fix axl vocals but it is SO thin and weak that it didnt work.
It always end up muffled in the mix even with a lot of lows added. Maybe Ill try some AI that turn the vocals into 90s Axl 🤣

The drums on the Hard Skool demo are so fucking good it's baffling that they were completely rearranged and dumbed down. My ideal version would have the demo drums with the guitar and bass parts from the 2021 mix, and not be brickwalled.

So, theres already a great version of this someone posted here a week ago but I just had the time to play with the stems and finished the hardskool mix with Josh I started and didnt finish.
If anyones interested here it goes:

I might be wrong but I remember listening to this years ago

My 2 favorite bands.  Axl and Jon are both vocally a shell of their prime, however Axl is still a 'rock star' (looks & dresses as such).  Jon let his hair go full gray an dresses like...yeesh.  Saw 2 shows of Jovi's last 'tour' (13 shows in April 2022).  Totally robotic/cruise control.  The energy is gone (Jon just stands there unlike when he would work the stage) vs Axl who still plays the part (running around, tossing mic, moving around the stage) etc...  Part of it is Join needs Richie back (Richie still plays the rock star and his backing vocals are missed greatly by Jon).   

Yeah, ive seen Richie recently and he still does a great job. 

Wish they had. Say what you will about Bon Jovi but they still release quality output to this day while for GNR even the release of a single is a disaster.

...a little rough around the edges, but this is what I could come up with regarding Hard School with Josh drums. Unfortunately it's still brick-walled but so it goes.

Great job, theres no miracle in what we can do with stems but for die hard purposes it works perfectly 😂

Can't someone do it using AI tools?

Its possible, but to do it properly I need some more time to edit and adjust the drums, did a little mastering job on this in 15 minutes 
From this point on and to the intro, we need to slice and doctor the drum track. The second verse also need some slicing.

Well that Rammstein motherfucker didn't have to face any consequences for raping drugged up fans and him and his band continue to tour the world anyway so maybe all this will have no consequences for GNR either. It's only the manager and not the lead singer.

I dont think any of us want something to happen to the band, just to the nannys son. 

its not even clear if Axl or any of the guys knew about this stuff as Fernando was blocking the photographer acess to them so..

Oh noes, what is woke Duff gonna do now? Oh noooooo

What, I stumbled on a 2023 Eye on You leak some hours ago on youtube and instantly replied it was fake, its gone now tho.

Maybe I should have gave it a few more listens lol

Japanese CDs almost always have bonus tracks. This could be where monsters comes in 

I’ve never used this site but I’m gonna trust it. I can’t wait. 

Ive bought stuff from CDJapan in the past, its all good. 

So people are still getting in the bait of user x? lol 😂 

I dont get how you guys dont recognize a troll when you see one.

Well, if Slash has played something that people think is Buckethead, he's definitely outdone himself! Gotta send posts from this thread to Slash haters after the song is officially out. 

After Ive listened to the songs on headphones, aside from the ending which Im almost sure is done by Fortus, I cant understand how is anyone thinking this is the bucket guy playing.

This is Slash and not some blbuleu kverlvjublbueklu dududud “guitarrist”

Maybe its time to get rid of Caram lol
