Requiem16 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It`s more Led Zeppelin and Stone temple Pilots rather than GNR. CD is a full book without that song. Some boring stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I even read the book because of that song, just because Axl named it Atlas Shrugged. Anyway I like the song but I wont denied that I was expecting something bigger 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inprovinoff Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Such potential! I'm starting to wonder though if this is correct order of how the song is arranged. The edits are too crude to be professional and the way it jumps makes me think sections have been moved or removed prior to the leak. It wouldn't surprise me if the actual song, if ever released, is longer and there are missing parts are being withheld by the leakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 on 5th listen and im really into it now. Drums sound like josh to me even though they have that bouncy brain vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucketmaster101 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Not sure if I'm in the minority, but I love the intro, and feel a bit underwhelmed with the rest of the track. But meh, maybe it will grow? Who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
there is no dana only zool Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 The "follow your heart" part kind of reminds me of Sweet Home Alabama for 2 seconds. Man like, this stuff sounds SO representative of how "rock" sounded in the mid/late 90s. I've always thought TWAT and Prostitute sounded WAY mid/late 90s (could totally have heard Prostitute on VH1 Pop Up Video). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZODIAC Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I'm.... Disappointed. Expected some epic Song. Funny, that i was thinking the same, as some of you... Wtf is that Intro?! And sweet home Alabama?! Haha! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Rose Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I was expecting a Twat-like epic. This does absolutely nothing for me. I can't even pick a melody out afterwards. I don't get it. And the vocals, I just don't get it. Not the fact that they're clean/not raspy/classic etc. But he sounds like he's singing underwater in another room with a bunch of whatever pro tools gimmickery going on. Are you supposed to be able to figure a lyric out? The strong clean voice at the start of SoD or Prostitute verses is beautiful. This sounds like a robot. Sorry to Dexter if he reads this. I didn't like Twat or Better when they leaked and Chinese is my favourite album ever so maybe i'll love this later.

Bernardo_Seccadio Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I really really like where the song takes us ... it's different from everything done by GNR before iMO and I even like the aspect that it's not that ambitious ... it's just a plain and cool "classic hard rock" track. IT IS GREAT TO BE LESS PRETENTIOUS sometimes ... I understand why it wasn't in Chinese though but in an upcoming record I can see it totally being part of it. GOING DOWN, HARDSCHOOL and ATLAS SHRUGGED together and finished had more chances of pleasing a wider audience than 90% of Chinese Democracy songs. I feel somehow less industrial and more adventurous in this song particularly. And indeed the description of being a Catcher in the Rye extension of style into prog is very coherent to what I have heard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Towelie Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I don't think it's good enough to warrant Slash and Duffs input. A song like Hard School, yes. That one had the potential to be something great and is too good to linger as an unreleased demo. But Atlas? It's nice enough, but I can't imagine anyone losing any sleep if a new GNR album dropped in 2-3 years and this wasn't on it.

username Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Open the flood gates, leak the whole 2000'ish rough demo set! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I like the vibe of the song more than I like it as a whole. Nice melody, I like the drums. The song doesn't really go anywhere and at least this version of it sounds rough and unfinished. Catcher is 1000 times better imo. Hardschool is much better as well. Still, I've only listened to it once, maybe it'll grow on me with repeated listens. Cool to hear May's solo but it's not as good as his work on Catcher imo.

Inprovinoff Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I don't know, I swear there are parts missing from this leak. We might be judging something that has been doctored and isn't complete. Can anyone who has legit heard this before it leaked confirm this is how they heard it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZODIAC Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 With some minor changes in the arrangement, Atlas Shrugged would fit into a Disney movie! Especially that Intro! Also did TIL! Imagine, a Disney princess singing these songs... 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlfans Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 why focus on possible edits or cuts? i've listened to the song tonight. i don't focus on cuts and edits. i focus on the song. atlas shrugged is a great song. axl at his best. atlas shrugged should've been on chinese democracy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brians guitar tone distinctive as always. this sounds different enough from the cell clip to make me think there are at least 2 versions of this out there somewhere. These two months will be remembered for a long time. Theres 4 versions out there 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mendez Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Did only one version leak? Because the snare is different than that 1 min collage of different 99 clips,which i think means theres a version with josh and version with brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanboy Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 lets expect a small rant from Axl like he did for Better in 2006, "you downloading sons of b**ches.." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
