riot Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I like it! But I don't get why (live n studio) they tend to put slash soooo much ahead of rythm guitar. To the point where you can't hear fortus most of the times. The verses are weaker that way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 The production on the vocals seems weird to me, but I really like them nonetheless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts: At first, I really disliked the mix (though it does sound better in speakers than on my headphones). The guitars are very oddly weak and Axl's voice sounds displaced (and it's not because it was recorded in 1999 lol). Slash's lead sound a lot like what he's been playing in the rehearsals, so no real surprises there. The tone is less gainy than the current live setup, but it sounds better than Absurd IMO. The bass adds a lot to the song and really makes it sounds a lot more than old GNR. The "ay - ay" part is def not lifted from Eye on You. It's just a similar idea. Not sure if it's all Slash this time. The left channel sounds a bit more like Richard's tone and there's some incidental licks at the ending. I disagree it's not from Eye on You. I think it's a dead ringer. At the least last few hey's into the scream. I think it was heavily modulated though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Everything is better except for the vocals. I think the effects on the vocals have weakened Axl's position and makes the song sound weaker. Overall it sounds great though. Much better than Absurd, lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverMachine Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I think a bit of the energy of the Village sessions versions isn't there because the drums have been redone - its missing some of Josh's rolls that really helped drive the track. Still think it sounds great though and this does feel like a huge positive step for the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That first drum beat before the bass comes in, it kind of sounds like the "end" of the previous song. This always used to be a trick producers did to make albums flow. In which case, what's the song before !! Good catch! It really does sound like a transition from another song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what I originally thought too. A lot of the snare and foot work is basic and there’s a lot of China cymbal in it. I’m leaning toward Frank again. If it were brain I feel like it would be a bit more complex and spiced up, I’m 50-50 on it now. I keep flip flopping with every listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
