Count Drugcula Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) One thing that kind of turns me off about CD is that a lot of the songs, either musically or lyrically, are very negative. There's no real just loose, light hearted fun. It's very epic and grandiose yes, but I think epic and grandiose tracks should be balanced with some lighter hearted stuff. Also, almost all of the lyrics in each song are a variation on the same theme ("Lost love", "someone fucked me over and I'm pissed/bitter", "love"). Where's a track like Bad Apples? Or You Ain't the First? Or You Could Be Mine? I Used to Love Her?Am I alone in hoping that there's some light heartedness balancing out the darker stuff on the next record?Like along the lines of: Edited April 1, 2011 by Count Drugcula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoon87 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Who knows...I could imagine that an album written and produced solely by the current line up could be a fun record. If the next album consists of the old left overs, then it'll be much the same as CD. Edited April 1, 2011 by Spoon87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I doubt it. If there is another album from this bunch I'm fully expecting to be full of tracks that didn't make it onto CD, and bulked out with a cover tune or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JVesper Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 No thanks, you'll always have Slash and all the idiots rock bands for that ! Let Axl be more ambitious and talented please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I kinda like it that way... But I would love to see something more aggressive like Last Of My Kind or A Looking In View.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilogy Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I kinda like it that way... But I would love to see something more aggressive like Last Of My Kind or A Looking In View....Somewhere in the chats it was mentioned that CDII was a bit "darker and meaner" in places,and that if you liked this CD,you'd probably like that one, I'm hoping this hasn't changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebelRose89 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) idk how i'd like an album of axl lyrics about boozin' n partyin' as a 50 yr old. I do like the subject matter that's being covered as of late: darker subject matter that cover a broad array of topics that lets the audience find their own meanings and interpretations within the musici like that rather than a cut and dry party to the excess style ala AFD lyrically for this incarnation, on the other hand though i do think this band will have a more rock sound on the newer material minus brain,bucket, finck which was a little more out there...but then again Bumble has some out there stuff, so i guess we'll hafta wait and see Edited April 5, 2011 by RebelRose89 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ITW 2012 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Didn't Axl himself say that CD II was going to be a bit darker and nastier than CD? I'm pretty sure he said something like that during the online chats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I would love to hear GNR do some songs in the same syle as Alice In chains - hard hitting guitars, grinding bass, great vocals and deep lyrics. Maybe not a whole album but a few songs like that.I have always thought Scraped had potential to be one of those songs, but it never really reached that level until the last 20 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't write "fun" or throaway songs. I think Axl would have to change his outlook alot to do more simple songs. He's too emotional and sensitive for that. He has a dark muse it seems. Nothing has ever been lighthearted with him even SCOM had dark undertones. Anyway there's too many bands out there doing fun and simple-the reason I like Axl is coz there's so much depth and feel in his songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cancerface Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 personally, i think axl should do whatever the fuck he wants. but when it comes to making fun records or sad records, i don't really think it it's up to axl, but up to everyone else. how can anyone expect axl to write a fun album when everyone is always so cruel and horrible to him? i wouldn't be in the mood to write fun songs if i was treated the way axl is treated by former bandmates, fans on forums, manager, promoters, etc...
