But we all know that the material isn't that good so if the buying decision was just based on the song quality I don't think many would be interested. I think the majority are like you and they just want to complete the collection. Not shaming anybody😄 In my mind, this is a trick You order this, but they send you the new CD and we are the 1st to get it :-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiDem is my favorite album of all time and I think it's a masterpiece through and through .. Just my opinion though Yeah, I'd respectfully disagree. I'm talking about his overall collection of songs. His previous stand out work obviously set a high bar - and I'd consider Chinese Democracy, Shacklers Revenge, Prostitute, HardSkool, Perhaps and IRS pretty average in comparison to the high points. I 'd consider Atlas, Catcher, If The World, Scraped, Riad and Silkworms poor by anyone's standard. Considering that's the vast majority of what he's completed in the last 30 years, it's a pretty bad return for someone so well regarded among us, and it makes it strange he thought State of Grace was surplus to requirements. Obviously we'll all have our favorites, and opinions, and people's picks will vary, but I can never get on board with someone thinking an album that contains Catcher, Scraped, Riad and If The World to be 'a masterpiece through and through'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's a good thing I don't expect you or even want you to get on board! It's how I feel about those songs ... I personally find If The World to be one of Axl's greatest vocal performances 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree his vox on If The World are great. CD, Better, and IRS I like too. Prostitute is great. The slower numbers don't really do it for me. Street of Dreams, Catcher (makes me cringe), This I Love etc. Totally get why ppl dig them though, just not for me. They're the more boring generic listening experience to my ears. All up its a good record that tbh I've not listened to in aaaaaages. But it warrants plenty of relistens and keeps on giving when you do go back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubanSkies Dummy Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 For one side... I don't know. The next album is more likely The Last Album. So, once it dropped... We probably don't have nothing new for decades until Rose expires, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RussTCB Posted January 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 All cards on the table, the insider thing doesn't truly bother me in the traditional sense. We all know there's no such thing as a genuine GN'R insider because members of the band itself have no idea what's going on, so how could anyone else? It's just annoying that we always have to deal with people running the same tired insider bit because they're desperate for attention for whatever reason. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're talking about that one, I'm less inclined to defend it. Prostitute? GN'R classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GN'R classic I see you over there in the corner laughing, you, @CubanSkies Dummy You had better be laughing at my usage of the word "sharted" and not at the irrefutable fact that "Prostitute" is a full-blooded GN'R classic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twinaleblood Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Regarding Catcher, to me the problem is not just the solo, it's also that additional guitar in the intro, I can't stand it. Overall, I like the song. It's the only one from Chinese where I prefer the demo version over the released one (unpopular opinion, as many seems to prefer the demos generally speaking, but still).
