It makes sense. Those jams from last year indicates that they were working on new stuff, at least instrumentals - which of course doesn't mean Axl would actually work on them.

Unlike you I know right? I mean, people thought it was a demo because of how Axl’s vocals are sounding, as if this wasn’t clearly his intention. Also keep in mind that even thought he recorded it 15 years ago, any demo wouldn’t sound like a cassette tape as if this was from the 80s.

It's all good

I'm ok, but maybe you're the one who needs to chill. I didn't want to upset you with my comment. But I didn't say you SAID that, I said you stated your opinion - that both albums were supposedly BETTER than CD - as a fact. I said that was just your opinion, not a fact, and that's what I meant when I said it was subjective. When I said that I like CD a lot more, that's subjective too, of course. And that's what I said: it's your opinion, and I said my opinion - that you promptly dismissed as "fandom talking", which I don't appreciate either, but it's all good. Anyways, I apologize if what I said offended you, but I stand by what I said: what you said about CD is just your opinion, and that's subjective.

No, it’s still subjective. Why would you pigeonhole my opinion as being “fandom speaking” while you state your opinion as gospel? Also, the album didnt leak on MySpace, the band released it there. It was actually a bold move, even if not the smartest. BTW, I don’t give two flying fucks to sales and being “successful”. I like what I like, and I didn’t like those other two albums at all back then and never really wanted to get back to listen again.

I know it’s not the place, but the trailer leaked and Rockstar just dropped the real thing. GNR could have learn with it.

Yeah, back then Axl said something like "oh, that got us by surprise. Robin is Robin, and he has one of the most eccentric lifestyles. We'll see how it goes". Rumors according to MSL's supposedly leaked emails were that Robin didn't get payed and was gaslighted by the then management, until he got fed up and accepted Trent's invite to rejoin NIN. In a personal level, that was the most heartbroken I got with this band. Even more than when it happened with Slash because back then, I was a fan but the band was not active at all, so I just assumed that Slash could get back eventually (well, I was kinda right about it lol). That's entirely subjective. I'm a diehard fan since 89 and to me CD is million times better than both of those albums. Also, TWAT could've had a radio edit, the track length is not a deal breaker. But I really don't see it as a radio single at all. IMO, Street of Dreams would suit it better.

Wasn’t he super young?

Soon is the word

For me this is more interesting than the thread itself.

They just announced the new GTA trailer for Dec. 5th.

I doubt this is Caram's work for the mixing. He probably helped Axl in producing the track, though.

Sorry, I didn’t even find who it is on Evo. Still don’t know who this is.

Which shouldn't be too hard lol. But I get, he claims to have info from Universal Italy, which had been keen on leaking information.

Dude your new profile pic is kinda scary

I know, Blackstar mentioned it, but I don't know why this guy should even be considered as a potential insider.

Bumblefoot predicted how the album would need time to sit on fans minds and get more appreciation. It was such a departure of what people expected from a GNR product, and also it had the whole drama of how long did it take to be released and who were in the band (both still is taken into consideration even now). IMO, if you take the album with face value, it can be appreciated a lot more.

Guess it's already Friday in some parts of the world, so we can discard the digital release today right?

Considering that Axl recorded the vocals on Christmas, that would make sense too.

But we still didn’t get the official thing in its higher quality. I mean, the mix is obviously the same, but the audio quality should be better, I have no doubt about it.

I agree about Frank, but we did get Josh’s drums in that 1999 SCOM from the Big Daddy movie.

Back in the day, people didn't understand a lot of lyrics in OMG. There was one of the transcriptions that had some stuff in brackets that were never in the song at all, but yet that was the one that was in every single lyrics site I've came across back then. And it had some weird stuff like "believe you're a bad jump".

Just modern hard rock. The "industrial" stuff are just textures, very minor things. The guitars def have nothing to do with industrial IMO.

I think the Antiquiet demo had Brain drums, those were not drum machine. It was actually quite interesting because it had a very busy snare pattern on the second verse.

I hear a lot of hip hop on The General. The intro kinda reminds me of that Eminen's 8 Mile song. Neither.
