I don’t hear a proper intro or a really interesting climax, to this one. Nor is there a good proper breakdown, which might be the strongest suit for Guns. Guns had amazing bridge sections. Basically, as people refer to it as a skeleton, what I hear is a riff and a melody over the riff. That’s the skeleton. There isn’t very much beyond that. There isn’t any timing changes or chord changes - it’s a steady, straight ahead song. Probably what it was meant to be. But...as far as the other rockers on CD go, you can find far more dynamics in songs like Better, Rhiad. Well, yea... it's a straight ahead rocker, which is refreshing in comparison to stuff like Better or Riad, IMO. The intro is fine, and the last minute of the song is really good. Axl sounds great, there's some cool guitar parts and the drumming is fantastic. Edited August 24, 2019 by Gordon Comstock 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Gave it a few more listens. It’s starting to grow on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it gets released you can probably expect it to sound very different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this leak is going to push the band to take out new material, or on the contrary, harm their intentions to take out new material (if they exist)? If the band don't have any intentions to release anything, then fuck 'em. Leak the whole locker. The next guy to leak a song gets a Grammy! 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stro Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 This should have been replaced either OMG or Silkworms at Rio and been part of the 2002 setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNRfanMILO Posted August 24, 2019 Author Share Posted August 24, 2019 Fuck that. This song was created somewhere between 1999 and 2001. They had 20 years to release it, and now because it leaked it may affect a potential future album? 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel if they are taking 20 year old songs and slapping Slash and Duff parts on it then it would be a shit album anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl4yer Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Ok my life is completed now Jk but it’s very cool, some vocals sounded weird to me (All in good faith part) and I don’t think this is finished song. But I like it very very much, it is really better than certain songs on Chinese. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl Rose aka God Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My assumption is that they (Axl) wanted to put something else over this, piano, strings, horns, whatever....it's a good base song for sure. I dig it. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the ending, I hate that ramping up guitar...it just sounds goofy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lies They Tell Posted August 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2019 That's a demo alright! Not like the CD leaks of 2006 that were pretty much complete songs, but this one's clearly unfinished. It has an enormous amount of potential cause the verse and the chorus are so great. But everything else... well it's just not finished. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
