Top tier. don't know about it sounding glorious and being top tier. It just sounds promising to me, like it could be as good as some of the tunes on Chinese. Absurd and HS are not that imo.

(but I like them) Hard Skool is a good song that is prevented from being a great song due to the poor mix and mastering IMO. Absurd is what it is and I think the earlier version, synth with Bucket, would have slotted in well on Chinese. The orchestration to that level on what we can make out on that clip of The General, along with the intro to the 2006 era shows, hasn't been done to that scale on any previous GNR material. If the Evader reproduction is accurate, then we're in for a treat - depending on mastering etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 This tweet reinforces my belief that, unfortunately, Steven was never going to be up to the reunion job no matter how much we wish he was. A three hour show? Simply beyond him. I hope we haven’t seen the last guest appearance from him though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Does anyone else think the mixing on UYI could have been done better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the songs were so layered (mainly with Axl's keyboards, effects and multitracked vocals), it's a miracle that anyone was able to do a half decent mix.

We love Axl Rose Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) How many NuGnR shows were recorded, were all the shows recorded as the UYI tour? Is it likely that there are at least audio recordings of all shows (or the majority) between 2001-2014?

But the songs were so layered (mainly with Axl's keyboards, effects and multitracked vocals), it's a miracle that anyone was able to do a half decent mix. That’s where a producer with a backbone steps in and says ‘we are stripping it down to it’s bare essentials’. Axl thought adding stuff would make it ‘sound like Queen’. Queen’s immensely hard work at orchestration, immaculate songcraft, and actually listening to Roy Thomas Baker made them sound like Queen. Not just piling shit on. Oh yeah, and proper harmonies, not just deep octave, middle octave, high octave…. And duff shouting in the background…. Axl had big ideas and neither the humility nor collaborative spirit to pull it off. The rest of them were probably happy being AC/DC #2, so it was never gonna be a happy marriage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The Japanese single of Hard Skool just arrived and the packaging is vastly superior to the US and European CD releases which had really flimsy cardboard. The OBI strip makes it a decent collectors item! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Has this band finally run out of juice? I haven’t seen even the most hardcore GNR fans talking about the tour in a few days. Even the band hasn’t made any of their generic posts from what ive seen. I think even the most desperate of fans have given up hope and accepted that this band has no steam left. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want Soul Monster more than The General because I want to hear that epic bridge Axl described. I trust Axl's description of songs more than Sebastian Bach's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
