It's only a short clip, but the chorus sounded a lot better than I expected...

Duff played it on his Tenderness tour, and it's a chill song that Axl wouldn't even have to sing lead on... it wouldn't surprise me if GNR eventually brought it back.

Yea, but at least with Pretty Tied Up the verses are still in his natural range and he sounds fine with the faster tempo. The backing vocals in the chorus will probably help him out. I think it will probably be one of the better songs from the NITL lineup, but I'm basing that off 20~ seconds of soundcheck snippets so I could be wrong lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it doesn't seem like a significant song for them to play. Locomotive is a cool song and almost a title track. Dead Horse at least had a video made for it. Breakdown would be cool to see. It's the last epic from those albums and hasn't been played since 91. I'll give the band credit. It's not new stuff but they've seemed to slowly been digging into their catalog. So Fine was played at the Mexico concert for the first time since 93. It's not an Axl led song but I think he's been slowly warming up to performing songs from that era. Plus Breakdown was only played twice - Worcester and MSG NY.

I don't know if anybody outside of people in the venue have heard that... if you have and you don't like it cool. If you are basing your opinion on 20seconds of Hardschool filmed with a phone that is barely capturing the audio I have no idea what you're smoking, but stop. If Hardschool remains in the same arrangement to the early 00s version, I don't want to hear it. That's hearing a full song, so I'm comfortable writing that off. Yeah well, I'm basing it on that snippet and the vocal level the verses are on plus Axl's 2019/20 phase... and the result isn't that great. Obviously, I'm not saying I wouldn't ever wanna hear the thing live, but should they introduce it for the first time, it needs to be fucking good. 2016 good.

jamillos Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 10 hours ago, Lies They Tell said: What makes you think that Axl couldn't handle Reckless Life? It's a fast paced song that's mostly screaming, much like Shadow of Your Love and Nice Boys. Both of which fit Axl's current voice pretty well. Well, it's just my opinion, but if we're talking maintaining the same level as was on the record, then there are some parts in the chorus that are very strong and remind me of what he did in Thunderstruck. That's a 2016 material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either slash was strumming the intro to fast which causes axl to speed up and hey lose that certain key on when to kick in after the spoken word stuff. They just to slow it down, and rehearse it a few times. Edited December 17, 2020 by Sydney Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumandraisin Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 They did Mama Kin in 2012. We're probably never gonna hear The General. Which might be for the best. It could never live up to the hype we've given it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only know the cellphone-recording and the Evaders Mix. What is so special about it, I never understood that. the hype comes from everything that came before those leaks ... the song was mentioned a number of times by number of people (especially Sebastion Bach, who has a great talent in exaggerating) during the CD era age, which created quite an anticipation EDIT: For example this quote: "One of my favorite songs — I asked Axl if I could mention the song titles and he said “Fine” — and one of my favorite songs is this song called “The General”, which is so… it’s by far the heaviest metal tune I think I’ve ever heard Axl do, this slow, grinding riff with these high, piercing vocals, screaming vocals. I was like, “When is this coming out?” And he said “2012” I was like, “Dude, you’re killin’ me!” He goes, “Well, this comes out on the third record. It relates to this song, it’s a trilogy, this goes with this lyrically.” He’s got it all figured out, he’s just different than other people. He does things on his own time, in his own way, but you know…the world’s not prepared for what I’ve heard from this guy." - Sebastian Bach, 2007, Metal Edge interview Edited December 17, 2020 by sakuL_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Brand new Axl/Slash songs (as in not reworked CD II), since they don't exist outside the desperate delusions of purists on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
