Many people already know Rocket Queen. SOYL gives Guns the opportunity to release something 'new' to 99% of its renewed audience with little effort. Thanks for seeing the common sense in this move. Just now, donny said: all guns fans know it but most people dont. it was not on the greatest hits as it wasn't a hit and its never played on radio. only them with a copy of AFD know it It's about to be a hit.

G-Money Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 10 minutes ago, donny said: if they want money for old rope they should have reworked rocket queen without the shagging so its allowed to be played on radio. that would have a far better chance of being a hit than subjecting bieber fan radio listeners to a song like SOYL Wait... Axl and Adriana aren't re-recording their part for this? I'm out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mateoson Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 SOYL is on spotify. There is even a Gilby "remix" of the song on there, etc. This is another cover they are releasing. Don't get me wrong, I love the song it's just that it is really nothing new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 What counts as a "hit" nowadays though? Youtube views? Spotify streams? Songs without a video garner significantly less views on YT than songs that do, and I doubt they have one for this. I hope it just gets played on rock radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lick in the snippet that we haven't heard, the rest is STRAIGHT OUTTA 1986 !!! - It is NOT the Mike Clink version or Sound City demo, it's the officially released Pasha version, the one we've had for years (without the fake crowd noise, remastered and/or remixed) !!! If you CANNOT tell the difference between Axl '86 and Axl '16, YOU HAVE A SERIOUS HEARING DISORDER !!! It's not the Live From The Jungle version though... Slash's guitar playing is different and on the EP Axl sings: "Took my chances carelessly, choked on my own cigarett" while on the version GNR.FM site he sings: "Took my chances carelessly, I said I choked on my own cigarett". It also isn't the same version that's on the LALD 12" since it's in a totally different tempo and clearly has another vocal take!

The main point is that it will be a mainstream rock release that will generate hype 2 minutes ago, Mateoson said: SOYL is on spotify.

I imagine it wouldn't be too difficult to knock up a montage or some behind the scenes footage (historical or contemporary) to go along as a music video with SOYL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hitmanhart408 Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 This seems like a no-brainer isntant buy for me. I would really much rather have a Chinese Democracy set or CD2 album but really sold me here is the quality of the wood work. It seems like maybe they took a play out of the Gene Simmons Vault idea which is pretty cool IMO. I could do without all of the stickers and pins etc but the wood box, LPs, and photo book make it well worth it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there another song you guys would have preferred them push and promote rather than SOYL? Not necessarily preferred over "Shadow," but "Crash Diet" new recording would be cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its Tino Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Maybe I’m just frugal. Or bitter. But of all the fanbases in the word, basically starved of music for the past 2-3 decades, we should get these “unreleased” tracks fucking gifted to us.

Pasha is on Live From The Jungle and numerous other b-sides. With added fake crowd noise. You're right though about the vocals , kinda has me thinking it might after all be the Mike Clink version. That might explain the mysterious lick that we haven't heard. Sounds VERY close to the Pasha version though ! hmz ... Still 100% certain that it is NOT a re-recording. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song was like 3 minutes and the solo sounded out of context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the remaster, he sings 'haven't seen the worst yet.' There were most likely multiple takes and they used something we haven’t heard or something they were considering during pre production for AFD If something was re-recorded that would be a main marketing point to include in that video. The 1st studio collaboration between those 3 in how many years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the remaster, he sings 'haven't seen the worst yet.' When I log onto gnr.fm the only lyrics I can hear are "took my chances carelessly, I said I choked on my cigarette". That's it. Then it is looped. The part with "haven't seen the worst yet" isn't there. So I am a bit confused here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
