Dean Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 After digesting this over the past 14 hours, I’d definitely say I really enjoy this song. In comparison to the rockers on Chinese, is it superior to the title track, Better and IRS? Naa, but a really enjoyable tune that probably would’ve been better suited on the album than Scraped or Riad. I love the intro. For me, along with the chorus, best part of the song!! I reckon hearing a fully mastered version of it would sound monstrous. That riff is beautiful and I don’t think it comes across as full on as it would on a proper mixed and mastered version. I just wish all of this came out way before the release of Chinese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 When you get a leak like this of something that was recorded so long ago it's great. But there's always a small after taste, like a small pang of regret n dismay for what could have been but wasn't to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course buckethead was in the band during November 2000... infact the song is dated 11/08/00 and not 1999 and during the song (and clearly in the last solo with his unique atonal tapping) there are some of buckethead habits and tecniques Edited August 25, 2019 by WAR™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderScott Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I like it alot, although I hope that if there is ever new music created and released by the current band that they go back to their roots a bit more. I prefer SOYL to this, even though I dig it, and I wonder if Axl is out of this stage. I hope he's gone back to thinking more G'n'R and less like Nine Inch Axls... :-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megaguns1982 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The lyric guessing reminds me of back in 99-2002 when everyone had the oh my god lyrics and turned out to be way wrong. I believe all of the lyric sites still have the incorrect oh my god lyrics lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphelmo Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I don't get the excitement, this song is really 'generic' as some would say. Who was included in that recording? First solo is probably the worst I've heard in GNR history. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) The second solo really kills the vibe imho. I never like that 'angle' - its almost like a break down section, but not quite. Its very common in prog metal, fusion and jam band - where lots of options and variations are needed to keep things fresh in long songs. But here its like the first option taken and it just doesnt fit imho. The third solo has more then just a hint of Eno and more specifically Heroes by Bowie main lead licks. And I like the triumphant, cathartic, galloping drums during second solo too. And Pitman really showed up for the non-rocker parts of this song.

Rovim Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) This tune makes me more comfortable with the idea of Slash working on some unreleased Chinese era tunes but my dream scenario is still Axl giving Slash a chance to come up with his own solos for existing material but if Axl still prefers a Robin or Bucket solo, it stays. Slash can also add his own riffs and leads and little fills like Bumble did with the title track or his tapping on Shackler's. That way the best ideas win and it originally was a tapestry of ideas anyway but I don't think Axl will do that. It's probably going to be this line up and I can see how he is capable of replacing Brain's work as well like he did before with Josh Anyway, after repeated listens I like it even more though it sounds like a work in progress, incomplete and those are placeholder solos probably like others have mentioned. edit: I love Bucket's shredtap at the end and it's always good to hear Robin, he plays some cool stuff here imo Edited August 25, 2019 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquor & Whores Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 it's a shame Axl decided to take money from reunion instead of releasing such awesome rockers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The bridge section would have been amazing if there were some better guitar playing. The bucket insanity at the end was awesome. This would have been one if the best songs on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riad is great. Mean riff, freaky lyrics, Axl is on Appetite mode vocally, the intro was stolen by Pitman and Bucket's outro solo adds so much. Bumble came up with a much better solo in the middle of the song compared to what was there in the leak. An important part of the album for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
