  1. The drums sound fucking amazing, possibly the best part for me. Much closer to how they sounded on Chinese for me. They did Frank pretty dirty with that boosted kick drum on Hard Skool so I'm glad they got this one right. Don't know if its Brain or Frank, but one of the fills sounds very Frank to me. I guess we'll find out at the next show if they play it.
  2. Pretty awesome! The Slash solo wasn't as bad as a I was imagining it to be. Love all the ear candy. Pretty surreal hearing a finished mix of it. So happy they kept the "weight around your shoulders" vocal effect on the last chorus
  3. I like pass you by and the third song wish loaded would reunite
  4. Goes to show that it’s near impossible to take a Nu-GNR song and make it truly sound like a Slash gnr song. I do appreciate a lot of things about the new Hardskool but overall it is hard to stump the Nu gnr version for me. Love or hate em, they were seriously talented
  5. This would be so entertaining and also a great casual media platform for Axl where he probably wouldn’t be asked questions deeper than surface level
  6. Not really a collector, but I do have a copy of Chinese Democracy. Sounds incredible
  7. I love prostitute. Like many songs on Chinese, the brilliant lyrics can be applied in many different ways. one of those songs where you don’t really know exactly what the fuck he’s talking about but it makes great sense when applied to the listeners own experience/perspective. Always get chills on that last verse: “So, if my affections are misunderstood, and you decide I'm up to no good, don't ask me to enjoy them just for you. Ask yourself why I would choose to prostitute myself. To live with fortune and shame? When you should have turned to the hearts of the ones that you would not save.”
  8. Acoustic makes for a better song but the original is just classic gnr badassery
  9. Once. Just need to hear Estranged echo across a stadium one more time and then I think I’ll have closure😂 also, I live right behind the stadium they’re playing in. I’d have the worst FOMO seeing fellow gnr fans park on my street
  10. I think the only mistake gnr made with Absurd and Hardskool was that it was produced by Caram/the band. Which blows my mind considering how good the production of CD sounded. I guess you can look at the lyrics for absurd also being a mistake, but generally speaking, it’s not like it’s the only GNR song with horrid lyrics I wonder what it would sound like if they got Mike Clink back in the mix for a new album
  11. Obviously the media isn’t solely responsible, but I’m sure Absurd being received as “wtf” by most people didn’t help. Whats more well received and generates more revenue- New music that is inevitably going to be subject to harsh criticism or to just keep running the “legacy” tour? Most ppl at these shows probably just want to hear Appetite and some of UYI anyway. They’ve refreshed the set the best they can without adding new music… locomotive, coma, soyl, reckless life, dead horse, a CD deep cut here, etc… I call that improvement if you compare it to the sets from 2010 to 2014.
  12. I can’t complain about much other lack of new music, but at the end of the day you can’t force art. I feel like the media spooked them out of releasing more stuff after Hardskool and Absurd. I will say I respect the band for playing almost the entirety of Chinese Democracy and also adding a bunch of UYI songs to refreshen the set. Never thought I’d hear Axl sing Coma again, and never in a million years expect Slash to play a song like Prostitute. Also, say what u will about Axl’s voice, the man is still pouring his heart into every set.
