mikeman5150 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 6 hours ago, TheGeneral said: I prefer Fortus over Izzy. Coma is my pissbreak song and I hope it will never be played live again. Used to Love Her is my least favorite song, it fucking sucks. Chinese Democracy is the second best album. I really like their SFTD. I think Axl aged really well... ...his voice not so much. They should open with CD again. I like Scraped. Axl is the most important part in Guns N' Roses. The track selection on UYI 2 is more like a leftover album. Last but not least, I think Motley's "The Dirt" is a kickass song and GN'R should learn from that for the next album. I totally agree with you that Motley crue's "the dirt" is a kick ass song and yes I'd love to see guns do something similar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR 1991 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 - Think About You is one of the best songs in the GnR catalog - Scraped (after the intro) and especially Riad are good rockers and don’t deserve a lot of the vigor - Can’t believe someone actually said this in the thread but Robin Finck’s “Patience” solo is better than Slash’s. Would love for AFD 1999 (Patience is on it) to leak so we could hear this properly. - 2006 was a thrilling time to be a fan imo. Axl looked and sounded awesome and the band was so tight - NITL got old quick, Wichita Lineman, Shadow & I Feel Good and Adler guesting were the highlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiff Competition Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Locomotive is the band at their creative peak. 4 hours shows aren't fun. They are tedious. NITL was cool at first to see Axl/Slash back together but the novelty wore off quick and the shows were pretty lackluster at the end of the day. VR was WAY more GNR then GNR is now and when they played GNR songs it sounded better than GNR does now (mainly because the drumming) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Madagascar is not Chris Pitman's golden contribution. He himself said that Axl was messing around and came up with the horn progression on his own. Not to mention the fact that well known film composer Marco Beltrami arranged the strings/orchestra on this song (along with There Was a Time, Prostitute, This I Love, and Street of Dreams and several unreleased tracks) I think Axl's 2006 tone quality surpasses all others in terms of a powerful screaming voice I liked the 2006 cornrows Edited March 25, 2019 by Mendez 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 CD era has got nothing to do with GNR. Reunion tour was better than everything inbetween 2001-2014. OMG is a terrible song 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAU3R Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think NITL Axl looks really good, much better than he did 2010-14, I like the trousers and even the snake boots.. And I like Melissa, I think Richard is perfect for GNR and I don't hate Frank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 1) Prostitute is not so great of a song, and definitely not for an album finale. 2) Shotgun Blues is a cool, kick-ass song. 3) Axl’s best voice since the 90s was in 2010, not in 2006. 4) It’s 5 o’ Clock Somewhere is way better than anything else Slash has done since, at least in terms of a complex album/band. 5) Sympathy for the Devil seems to be underrated. 6) Brain would have been much better – then again, I don’t think this opinion is unpopular here. 7) NR and KOHD should be retired from the future setlist, or only played now and then. 8) I also liked the 2006 braids. 9) Steven and Izzy wouldn’t handle or wouldn’t wanna play ChinDem songs. 10) NITL wasn’t just a cash-grab tour; given it was one of the biggest reunions of all times (regardless of some members missing), it had to be this long, they logically had to tour the world (although the 2018 US part definitely was unnecessary). Just because you make loads of money off something it doesn’t mean money is the only – or even the main – reason you’re doing it. 11) OMG is a cool song; they should remake it and play it occasionally.

zombux Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I hate KOHD and LALD and lately I also consider many staples meh. NR, SCOM, even DC. DC would be fine if played occasionally though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DK6 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Prostitute is boring. I'd be happy never to hear SCOM or KOHD again. I want new music to sound more chinese democracy than AFD. Slash is a great lead guitarist but a poor songwriter. Izzy is not a good enough guitarist to play stadiums. I though the AFD box set was great value and the fake tattoos were an essential item for all 'real' GNR fans (just kidding). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim10101 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 That no one believes me in gen pop or even here I own half of the new album. Even tho I was literally listening to it at my local golf club only hours ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl/DC was more exciting than NITL, and Axl's best vocals since 1993.

In terms of a ballad rocker would prefer this to SCOM all day every day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUnderScott Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I think that Axl actually looks great for his age! And it has already been mentioned but I also liked Axl's braids and cornrows. Looked Badarse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 06 braids were fine but when he first came into the public with them in 2000s i didnt know whether he was trying to take the piss fron dexter from offspring. Either way it made him look like a tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azifwekare Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) - CD is a masterpiece. Anyone who disagrees is objectively wrong. - My World was too short. - Scraped and Shackler's are amazing - best songs on the album - gimme more Bucket compositions plz - Shotgun Blues, Get In The Ring and Silkworms are good songs. - Although I like them, I usually skip SOD, IRS and Madagascar. - The best lineup (including classic era) was 2002. - I would have happily chosen CD 2 & 3 over a reunion. - I want nothing more than a Guns/Axl album full of My World/Silkworms/OMG industrial madness and some Bucket/Brain/Melissa 'weirdo shit' akin to the remixes. - Rock The Rock is better than any Slash project post-Snakepit (or any other former Guns project). - I'm a big fan of The Pitman's musical contributions. - Think About You is an album highlight. - I love SCOM, but the guitar riff fuckin sucks. - TSI kicks ass, I don't understand why it doesn't get more love. Every song on it was better than the original (except SIDHY, the original was just as good - I have a soft spot for doo wop).

The fact people think the album is too 'out there' shows that they're further behind the times than Axl could ever be. It's as if they've never heard a rock album since 1993. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-p-d-a Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Axl Rose is not really a good live singer. Marquee 1987 is the only concert where I accept him as a professional live singer. But in 1988 and on, his voice was actually not good. Edited March 25, 2019 by t-p-d-a 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BangoSkank Posted March 25, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) 22 hours ago, Live Like a Suicide said: I'll start with two: 1) I prefer Don't Cry (Alt Lyrics) over Don't Cry. 2) I think Chinese Democracy is some of Axl's best work. Agree wholeheartedly with both of these. And almost all of my GNR opinions are unpopular: - 2006 Axl is second only to 1988/9 Axl. '06 was amazing. He was in shape, his voice was great, and he had a fire in his gut. - Axl is treated so unfairly by both fans and the press. He is constantly vilified for all things that have gone wrong in the band, especially the break up of the original members. He is not innocent in it, but Slash & Co. bear a lot more responsibility than the media and general public acknowledge. - The Illusion tour is overrated and difficult to watch. Axl was miserable, his voice was shot, and the rest of the band was falling further into their addictions. - Slash & Buckethead together would have been unstoppable. If Slash were a part of NuGNR most of the general public would not have cared. - I want an Axl autobiography more than a new album. - It was still Guns N' Roses when Slash, Duff, and Izzy left.

allwaystired Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 The best live version of Nightrain any incarnation of the band ever played was the 2001/2002 lineup. GNR are the biggest band in the world to have so few actual fans. Their live shows are 90 per cent people who don't give a fuck about them, and barely even know album tracks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
