As Doug Goldstein said “Izzy wanted Guns to be the biggest club band ever”, not the biggest in the world. Can’t blame him I guess 

I’ll be there. Should be a great show considering it’ll be full of Carrie’s fans 🤟🏼

Well he had to literally pay people to sit around in expensive studios for years working on things to send him and/or for the muse to hit himself. There’s a lot of upfront costs as well when you’re the only person left with any equity on a project. Everyone else has a salary for their time. 

I mean I know why it LITERALLY cost that much. Like aside from the earlier years where a huge majority of it was worked on, they really just paid people to sit around and tweak it for years. Poorly planned maybe but still one of my favorite sounding records. That might be half the fun of listening to that album for me. It’s an enigma that it took so long and cost so much.

Good lord, Chinese Democracy album cost over 13 Million to produce? 😱😳🧐😵‍💫 WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? 🧐😵‍💫😳😱

I’ve never understood why it was so expensive. I feel like you’d have to try hard to spend that much on making a rock album. I guess that figure might include the cost of the 2 unreleased parts of the so called trilogy but wtf. 

I hope. Arenas sound better but sell out easier. I would’ve loved to see gnr in a theatre honestly. Not a bad seat in the house 

I agree. 
 

the demo for Chinese democracy was super cool and then they added way too much noodling at the end. Same with Hardskool- had a better demo. 

Perhaps is better than its demo and same with IRS (never really liked the demo but I love the finally version of that one- probably one of my favorite songs off the album) 

The raspy song is groovy and impressive but I think the vocals on the album match the lyrics better. They’re both pretty different and both badass

From what I've seen it seems that it is run by someone who claims they have connections to record labels.

Have no idea if what they say is true though. 

I think Axl Rose himself could tell me it’s coming November and it still wouldn’t mean anything

Yeah, it'd be so cool if Axl would do a 3 song piano set each night. Boot Dizzy off the stage for 20 minutes a night, rotate Perhaps, Catcher, Street of Dreams and Breakdown and then end the "Axl Piano Bar" on Nov Rain. 

Would be awesome. 

Isn’t street of dreams a Dizzy riff? 
 

I always thought him doing this I love would be sweet 

I was pretty relieved hearing it the first time. Definitely not as bad as everyone made it out to be. It’s a simple sleazy solo over a simple sleazy song.

I’m surprised Frank didn’t bother to do the drum-fill into the last chorus correctly.

I can’t help but feel bad for him. Maybe I shouldn’t as i don’t really understand the nature of his membership in the band. It’s odd they had him record some songs on Chinese (which all his work sounds great, esp. ITW) yet not on the new stuff? I guess he’s just a touring member but ffs he’s been in the band for close to 20 years..

Why a vinyl and not a cd?

Who has a record players these days?

I find more benefits to owning vinyl as far as just having the physical artwork and liner notes goes. CDs are just playing the same file that’s uploaded to streaming services. I guess just preference

It could be a "monster" in the form of unexpressed trauma that Axl may have had in the past. Perhaps some angry references to "Estranged" since "The General" was rumored to be the sequel. 

Or maybe it’s about chillin at Village eating General Tso carry out with Tommy back in the day 

I could see it as an album deep cut. Would much rather see SOG 

The only thing I miss is the beautiful weeping guitar melody that Robin had on the “what it is to be you.. I’ve been so upset” part. But I also like what slash did on that part too. So ready for the General- that still sounds very twilight zone to say out loud

wtf they actually made a music video :O 

 

 

 

This video is has some sweet footage. Very UYI styled concert shots like in some of those older videos 

So nice hearing the mix on Spotify. I can see myself playing the fuck out of this song for awhile. Sounds really really good

Just imagine if you could go back to 1999 or whenever the original demo was recorded and put together and tell Axl “I come from the future, and I’m here to tell you that you’ll release this song in 2023 with Slash and Duff on it.”

It’s just crazy to think what roller coaster the band has been through over the years.

Lol yeah he was all “fuck those guys” when he recorded most these vocals they now play under. I don’t think anyone could predict this bands history

Judging by the fan reception to Atlas I don’t know if they would be chomping at the bit to redo it. It seems like no one really liked it here or at very most were underwhelmed by it. I’d say The General is more likely since we’ve seen it on setlists.

I agree. I think The General would be great because it allows them to continue framing 20 year old songs as new but for this one, nobody has really heard it. It would be new to even the hardcore fans. 

Is there anyway to hear this still? Or was it just played once 

I missed the radio premiere 😪

I like Jelly Roll (his newest album is mostly shit though) but wtf is he doing at the top of the rock charts...

something in the orange on the other hand is one hell of a masterpiece for a country song 

Anyways- I fucking can’t wait to tune in to the radio tonight. This kind of stuff reminds me of staying up till 6am the night of the troubadour show watching any video or audio I could

I really like and from all GN'R Guitar players he's the closest to Slash sound somehow

 

I agree but he also contributed greatly to the nu gnr sound. I see him and Slash as the main two lead guitarist in gnr as far as sound goes 
 

I’ve always seen buckets playing as novelty. It’s like GNR featuring Bucket because his playing is so fucking insane that it’s sort of out of place for Guns but also really cool nonetheless

Have you heard any Elton material in the 21st Century?  "The Captain & The Kid" from 2006 as well as "The Union" with Leon Russell in 2010 and "The Diving Board" from 2013 are all great albums and have a lot of heartfelt moments and decent compositions

I also quite liked "Blue & Lonesome" from The Stones in 2016, which granted is an album of blues covers but the performances are great and it is technically a release from them in some form

Agree. But I think, similar to gnr, no matter how good it is (it could be better than anything off AFD or UYI) nobody will give a shit what a band in their legacy years releases. Maybe thats why they chose to release the mostly written and done Chinese outtakes. It doesn’t matter what they put out, none of it will hit at this point anyway.
 

Record a shitty solo? Wouldn’t even matter if it was good
