wasted Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 Hit may just mean a kickass song that keeps the band going pulling in new fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I would rather have a good song than a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 The same thing really. I think there's songs on CD that could be hits as much as Jungle or PC. There's nothing really commercial about those songs. I just think Dj has the knack or style to have a hit song. Nothing to do with what we want or like.

Apollo Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 RNRS - You flat out said Axl can't write hits and nothing from Chinese was a hit.My point was that Chinese had two hits in the US. You were wrong.There is no personal vendetta involved. You've already admitted now that Chinese did have hits despite originally saying it didn't. You shifted your argument to complaining about how hits are compiled.Lazy lazy lazy posting.Pi2Loc - If you think that was me getting owned, you either don't know what words mean or you are a semi-functioning survivor of severe brain trauma. Those are the only things I can think of that would explain how you would think I'm being owned when someone says Chinese had no hits and then are proven wrong.You should bet them both $10,000 as to who is right.Anyway, which songs would you say were hits off of CD?And what is your definition of a hit? Any song that makes any billboard chart? Does it have to make the actual top 40 songs of the week, and stay there for a few weeks? How high and how many weeks on the main chart and on a side chart?

That actually gives me more hope. Still, as time goes on rock is seen lower and lower on that chart and I think GNR getting in the top 30 would be AMAZING.

Guest Gunns Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I'll give DJ the benefit of the doubt and wait until he releases a song before critiquing him too much. In saying that, I am optomistic that he will write something decent with GnR, Axl tends to bring out the best in all the musicians he's worked with. If not, then I'll be more than satisfied with whatever album Axl releases as long as it features Finck, Bucket and even Ron (no rerecords though).

Patience 4 Axl Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 I think there is potential there with DJ to write something good. It's just a matter of Axl being motivated enough to want to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 I feel like Dj will provide the sound for the record or song. His stuff seems assured and not too fussy. So with anAxl lyric and melody anything could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
