Towelie Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, YourMother'sDruthers said: Scraped is hands down the worst GNR song of all time. Worse than My World. I don't know which song is worse, GNR Scraped or NIN With Teeth. Me and a friend who are big fans of both bands often discuss which one would we choose to listen to on repeat for the rest of our lives if we were forced to choose one? It's a sickening thought. Scraped is indeed utter dogshit. I wonder why the song is called that, I can only assume even Axl knew it was something to be scraped off the bottom of your shoe. I'm not a huge fan of With Teeth (the song, the album is actually one of my fave NIN records), but it's a damn masterpiece compared to Scraped.

Grayfox Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I don’t care for album version of Scraped but I do like the live version from 2010. I do have to admit. With how different some of the demos are I’d be curious to hear different incarnations of ‘Lies They Tell’. I’d like to think an earlier version is less of a jumbled mess.

RONIN Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 ITW would have been a cool song if not for that 70s porn groove. Sorry needs new lyrics. Mr. Buckethead is flawless on both songs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_rose Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 8 hours ago, angriestwhopper said: I disagree. Most of that stuff was written without Scott when looking for a new singer. Both albums were born out of Desperation to be relevant and back to the heights of GNR. Scott was the wrong singer but they did a good go of it. They should have got a female singer like Hayley Williams. CONTROVERSIAL ALERT! CONTROVERSIAL ALERT! Or Taylor Momsen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underhardy Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Scraped fucking rocks. Amazing vocals, and I love that groovey guitar in there. Never understood the hate the song gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But massive lack of solos - where did they go? Slash addressed that issue in his book. I believe he stated he felt constrained during the recording process and thus the lack of long solos.

Tom-Ass Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 I just want them to hand over the album that Slash, Izzy, Duff and Matt wrote to Axl and let him have his way with it. The one that Scott rejected because he said it sounded too much like Guns N' Roses. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 (edited) There are definitely good songs on VR, Izzy, Slash solo that I don’t think would work as GNR. But there some as I went through the albums Chinese Democracy I Hate Everybody But You Shuffle it All Slither Fall to Pieces Parasite Time Gone By There was a Time Suckertrain Blues Ain’t it a Bitch Better Just Don’t Know Catcher in the Rye Automatic Overdrive Old Hat Madagascar Safari Inn This I Love Edited June 18, 2018 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Slash was just BSing. I hate everybody but you is the best song from Snakepit. I think that 96 album material was used by Izzy and Duff solo. I think Duff has credits on 117 Degrees. One song, Mean Bone or Serial Kilker was used on Smakepit? The Bad company type songs Scott threw out of VR must have been Izzy stuff. But still Fortus was saying they were working on a Slash riff that came from before CD started. So Axl might have saved some of it, Izzy and Duff took some. Izzy said Axl has 3 or 4 Izzy songs. There’s the fantasy situation where they made this great album then walked away. That would be cool I always thought that but Nobody mentions it. It’s like the next YCBM. Neither can I is also pretty good, like an IRS type song. I like the “rhetoric of life” line. Parasite would need Axl and Slash work but it’s a Perfect Crime 2. Suckertrain is like the opener to UYI 3. Always thought Izzy must have written it. Bomb could have been included bu t Just Don’t Know is like the best riff since Mr Brownstone. Old Hat is a left field one might be a cover. River is a great song but Jump In Now, Head on Out have more GNR potential. Loving the Alien is great but not sure it’s really GNR style. Last Fight, Gravedancer also possible. Edited June 18, 2018 by wasted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(btw, are these two the only known pre-Scott Weiland demos available?) Anywhere those demos are loaded?? For a listen?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
