I love this song. Been trying to get it on vinyl for ages.

 

But bands expect this to happen. They don't release vinyl-exclusive songs thinking "people are gonna be forced to buy the records and it will sell so much more", it's more like "diehards will have this hidden gem for them, it will be a collector's item, it will receive kind of a cult status" 

think i saw it on ebay for $500+. Which is whats going to happen to 'general' as well, is my guess, then the reissues etc etc. 

Heres what happened when Ghost tried the same thing...took a little while afterwards...but yeah..:)

and Ax is right, its NOT an easy song to sing, at all.

A lot of bands have a keyboard - if not live, then certainly in the studio as a pad to fill out the sound. It's often subtle and low in the mix, but it's there more often than you'd think. The idea is to not stick out.

Not sure how much it helps live, though. Her main function live seems to be hitting high harmonies or filling out Axl's voice.

and she does it EXCEPTIONALLY well. No complaints whatsoever, only praise.

I don’t know, they’ve let the demo be embedded in multiple articles for hours. Doesn’t seem lawyers/publicists are doing much. 

well, my version survived the purges so far..:)

So who else thinks the reason for the consistent setlist is cause of the screen show?

it never ceases to amaze me..the internet is worldwide...timezone releases are a thing of the past...someone doesnt understand the internet...

I'm pissed ticket prices dropped this much but what can ya do? Buy early as a fan and get screwed when prices are deeply discounted. Or wait it out and then get screwed out of a ticket if they sell out. Totally lame to do this dynamic price bullshit. 

Ultimately, ticketmaster is gonna end up with egg on their face for these tactics when majority of people hold off or go to secondhand market. I will never buy from ticketmaster/live nation early again. Ever.

 

Anyway ... doors at 4:30. Show starts at 6. Anyone know when GNR will hit the stage? 7:30 p.m.? Not sure about Wrigley Field curfew due to annoying neighbors.

I want to get in and try to cop a litho or shirt if the design is really cool. Diehard Cubs fan here and obviously a diehard GNR fan as well.

its been done like that for decades...nothing new about it, but its a risk..you can buy early and get what you want..or take a chance on the day of the show..and see whats avaliable...sometimes the tickets are pure ass...just depends, total roll of the dice.

I wonder if the song is released before this 'Hard Skool Is Coming' thread, will reach the 400 and so pages like the 'Susan New Album Coming' thread 😂 

let the race BEGIN!

remember..Mrs McKagan said a new album is coming too...what was that..2 yrs ago now?

well, what do you think of this one? :)

so, what do you think?

Re: Axl’s voice. I watched Absurd from Detroit and then some other videos from  the night started auto playing. So my personal setlist went:

Absurd: Good first impression but I doubt he’s ever going to struggle with this one.

Chinese Democracy: Good in the verse and the more demanding chorus and a lot of energy.

Slither: YouTube knows what it’s doing. The verses are solid. The first chorus is par for the course as far as what Axl does with it. Then the flaws start to show during the second chorus and he puts little effort to the the final pre chorus.

WTTJ: This is old man Axl from start to finish but a lot better than when it’s all over the place. There’s no cringe here. He kills a moth during the song. That moth did not know where the fuck it was and paid the price. That’s the jungle for you, man. Not safe for moths.

SCOM: Good night, YouTube.

Overall, he’s still a great front man when the songs allow him to be.

yeah, fuck that moth

I think its  tough for some people since its such a major part of these songs vocally and give them an impact. I compare it similarly to James Hetfield post 93 and Rob Halford when he couldn't hit near the amount of high notes when he returned to Judas Priest in 2005. He managed to comeback big time in 18/19.

I think its just something people think Axl can get back to if you're judging on 2016 which is somewhat recent history.

oh i get it, believe me.

I bet this raspless Jungle actually sounds pretty good in person. It has more power than Mickey, but isn't up to 2016 rasp standards. It'll be interesting to see where his voice is at by the end of this year.

 

the rasp is dead, its 2021. get over it.

well..covid...confetti...it touching everyone..then the janitors having to sweep it up...kinda makes sense.

yes?

no? 

grow on me?

not interested.

well it certainly isn't another 'nightrain' but who wants the same thing over and over again? thats just beyond boring.
*wasnt it originally a Pittman song??

my avatar was one from a few years back, I also have the dragon one as well.  I liked the wolf one

*listening to the 5.1 mix
its quite different from the stereo even completely diff mixes on some tracks.
