Sweersa Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 21 hours ago, GnR Chris said: The way Ticketmaster is butt-fucking concertgoers post-Covid, a 2023 US GNR tour might not even be something I attend. Dynamic pricing is completely out of control at the moment. There are so many artists I wanna see, but I’m one of those people who likes to sit close. Some artists, like blink-182, are not worth $699 each to be within the first 50 rows. I was unaware of this but not surprising. My dad and I usually buy tickets that fall somewhere in middle of the road as far as quality of location. Not the cheapest, nor most expensive. Easily spend $150-$250 per ticket these days with rows we usually sit at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside259 Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 23 hours ago, Blackstar said: Axl is credited for producing and mixing Absurd and Hard Skool (along with Caram). So he was more involved and more responsible for the result than just approving it. I think he may have somehow been convinced that this is what current/"modern" rock songs should sound like. There's been a lot of talk about the lack of promotion, but I'm sure there was thought and some kind of reasoning (even if it was miscalculated) behind the way they went with these releases, from the selection of these two particular tracks to the production, the spelling of the titles, the imagery, to dropping them digitally as standalone songs, etc. And that was to appeal to young audiences. Like, "kids nowadays find their music on streaming platforms, they don't need anything more." I wonder whose idea that was. well he spoke about this in the BR interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't be hating the idea of having a shit sounding song being rearranged by Slash. It's funny how some of you guys in here are more into shit sounding demos and scared of how Slash will treat them, for all you know they've all been rearranged from as you knew it before Slash even touched or heard them. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not cherishing the idea of this by the way as a fan of CD, it's just an almost certainty that people need to get to grips with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suffers a bit of an identity crisis as Axl’s voice and singing style doesn’t compliment the instrumentals and vice versa. I don't mind it but I can also hear Mike Patton doing something interesting with it. Perhaps a bit like Stripsearch by FNM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I'd love to have bucket and fink on everything but if they put an album out without duff and slash on it the band would be either lynched or slash n duff would go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely- I'd say leaks/bootlegs are probably the only way you'd hear anything with guys who left the band 20-ish years ago. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really can't assume it's a shit sounding song based on a very rough 2 minute recording. Slash is an icon, not an amazing player, especially these days. I'll be relieved if he does half as good a Robin and Bucket did on the CD stuff. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't seriously expect them to release a box set in fall and a new album a few months before that or one month after. They could release a new single towards this year's last shows, though, like last time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the village versions of these songs are far less marketable in 2022 though. Personally I really didn't think much of it, but my main gripe was the solo section which was poor! But the released version is just a bit better... That slide section🤮 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokingarthur Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It’s remarkable the Chili Peppers released more original, new music this year than you will find on way more than half of the GNR catalog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when you consider that 90% of that material is horseshit.

The point that the Chilis are more prolific is valid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
