I wonder if they’ll do 3 singles. I don’t wanna wait a month!

I like it. Man, it just *sounds* good. Somehow these tracks have decidedly less of a cheese factor than SMKC does at its worst.

stop hogging the track, Australia! jeez

let's go let's go let's go (has this been posted? extended snippet)

Sometimes you kick around GNR land and it gets a little stale in 2024, and then you hear Axl's vocal run on Anything Goes in that intro clip, and it's like... oohhh right...

Listen to the snippets you masochists!

I bet Gibson made it really easy for him to do, too. They probably greased the wheels quite a bit in getting everything in place -- it seems like a major initiative for them from a branding perspective, and to get their label off the ground.

That snippet sounds so exciting. I like Happiness Bastards, but the production on this song sounds way better than that album. Slash should just join the Crowes at this point, though. Why the f not lol. Do an album and tour like they did with Jimmy Page. Slash in a stonesy context is way preferable to me than the quasi-metal shit he indulges sometimes (a pipe-dream, of course).

Oh those snippets sound awesome. Great production sound. The female vocalists always seem to be hard to nail for Slash collabs, but I'll reserve judgement. Seem to easily veer into hammy land. Sounds like for Crossroads Gary is panned hard left and Slash hard right. I think I'm most excited for that track, even though it's been covered a million and one times... SOME GUITAR INTERPLAY, BABY. Slash's tone sounds perfect on it -- I was really curious how he would approach that song. It's meaty and growly and dry. Robinson sounds fantastic, too. I'm super excited now.

Yeah I honestly didn’t like much on first impression (aside from the cool vid), but it’s grown on me. Slash’s solo is more interesting than I gave credit, too. I’m so used to his modern noodling I think I kinda tuned out first pass. Cool that he busted out the 335. Pusherman with Chris Robinson is over 7 mins long… should be ample room for some cool shit in there! Black Crowes circa 2024 doesn’t interest me, but Chris can still bring it.

Windsor but no Vancouver

Slash shoulda worn a pink leather jacket.

Dude it's crazy they refused it. Especially after all that Q-sound stuff in the 90's. I thought maybe its because it would cost them more money to release it somehow? A business decision? Deny the ATMOS and release The General... I wanted it for the isolated guitar stems -- when those came out from the AFD 5.1 mix it was a revelation. That and the Ritz 91 are my two GNR diamonds.

There's no nostalgia for VR, and they'll never top Contraband as a cultural and musical achievement (not saying it's that great, but in terms of popularity, crossover success, winning a grammy, showing they could "do it again," securing a really lucrative record contract etc.). Libertad was a flop, the whole thing became poisonous between the guys (and their wives?), Scott is dead... Hell VR almost didn't get off the ground until Scott walked in the door. They'd probably never find "the singer" again at this point. And if they did, they'd probably be better off with a new name and clean slate.

I thought it was a tasty little solo. Hard to dislike Gosling. The oscars are a pretty gross self-congratulatory bore, though.
