If you listen the song backwards you can hear it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing selling this song is the label Guns N' Roses on it.

If a car brand with a quality reputation releases a shitty car there's always gonna be people buying it regardless, just because the brand reputation and perhaps good experience with previous models. I'm more like if the current product sucks then it sucks. Doesn't take away from the brand in general or their previous products. Same case with GNR, quality brand, good reputation for amazing poducts, but the current product just sucks. I guess we can agree to disagree. I don't enjoy this because it says Guns N' Roses in the title. I couldn't care less, it could be released by "Damas Gratis". I enjoy this because it has the signature Axl sound, + Slash + Duff. So yeah, it would be quite different if any other band released this. It's ok if you don't like it though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thinking of the "new" songs that might be done for a GnR release... My bet is that everything is 100% digital, even the drums sounds emulated to me, much like SOYL. And overall, the vocals are just cust and paste, reharmonized in pro tools to generate different pitches. The impression I get is that they gave all the locker content to the producer and Axl never steped in the studio, not even to record some whispers like he did on SOYL. Which in some way is good news, seems like he's delegated the decisions regarding new music to Slash, Duff and Caram. Great song indeed, a bit overproduced but it has the appeal of a single from nowadays rock standards, now let's see if uncle Axl can deliver on par with his vocals from 25 years ago.

Alejandro GNR Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I liked the demo, and liked this new version. Axls vocals are great, why chenge them just for them to be from nowadays. Give me Axls rasp in any form and I’ll be happy. This is a good song to start with…what makes me a bit sad its that its nothing new for us hardcore fans, we already heard a version of this a long time ago. However, I hope we get a full album in the near future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People wouldn't feel shy to say if they hated this, even though it's GNR (they certainly weren't when it came to Absurd) but people actually do really like it. Hell, if this was a debut single by a band it would be great. I'd be interested from the get-go! Fair enough if you don't like it though, but I don't reckon people are liking it just for the sake of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think that I have to get used to not hearing the snare drum roll that sets up "all cautions made" since the 16 second leak is burned into my mind lol. I think Slash's additions are great and dig the overall presentation How crazy is it that the mythical "Checkmate" is not only officially released, but with Slash and Duff on it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carburetta Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Actually think this is really lame, I expected to like it more than the demo, I’m surprised that I don’t. I wasn’t enamored or blown away by the demo but I like it more than this. The bass intro is weak, the main riff seems to be watered down. This is my least favorite Guns release, period. I really have no wish to listen to it again having spun it about 10 times earlier. I guess there’s a trippy part to the Slash solo that’s ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhazUp Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 This is definitely the most "what we all think of when we think of GNR" sounding track since TSI? to me. Slash will always be THE GNR guitarist IMO. Him and Duff really brought that vibe into it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
