GnR Chris Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 Well, I don’t think “Perhaps” will be played today considering no studio release this morning. I imagine when they finally do play it, they’ll drop it at midnight like they did “Absurd.” Sigh. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t think they’ll play it today ‘cause it’s GNR and why would they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wanted to release a new album, he would. End of. Agree here….bottom line, the current setup is a business relationship only. I think there is limited camaraderie in the band. They aren’t creative and don’t have a desire to be IMO. Just do what they need to do to keep train rolling.

I think Guns N Roses are unusual for how long they've been around combined with how small their catalog is. KISS is the ultimate businesslike band but they managed to consistently record and release music throughout their career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, Slash coming back to fold is the worst thing for gnr.... Before that, axl had something to prove and new music would have been a reality. Best we can hope for is more leaks. How many years was Slash out? where was all this music you mention? yea, the lead guitarist that is on all the hits and known world wide, is the worst thing. Thats comical. 88 people cared about NU gnr. Why couldn't they sell out stadium after stadium? Edited June 10, 2023 by fabrph5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 By 2014, Bumble/Ashba lineup had devolved into nothing more than a touring juggernaut. This wasn’t 2000s-era Axl full of spit and fire trying to establish the next iteration of GNR. Saying Slash’s return is the worst thing to happen to GNR from a creative perspective is, what someone else already said, comical. Slash and Duff have written and recorded plenty of music since 2016. The other key guy in GNR, and I think you know his name, is the one who couldn’t even be bothered to record an extra verse for “Absurd” or “hey heys” in “Hardskool.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of how in the leak after the solo the chorus repeats one more time then ends, they for some strange reason decide to replay the chorus multiple times at the end and it just sounds repetitive and bad. I haven't listened to the studio version since it came out back in 2021. The leak is better in every way. Same with Silkworms. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudolf1978 Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 The sad thing we are expecting leftovers from CD. Perhaps 6/10 absurd 2/10 harskool 5/10 do i miss any song more? If they put this to a new album would be a disaster. Ok if they put this to ep and then the band go to a studio and make a new recors will be ok 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok if they put this to ep and then the band go to a studio and make a new recors will be ok I basically agree. Axl needs to get some songs off his chest, especially if they’re good, otherwise it would be a shame if we never got to hear them; on the other hand, new releases should feature their new music at some point, whether or not some of the origins may be a bit historic. They shouldn’t release just CD2 leftovers. We need to see them function as a band (not just a touring band) and a creative entity. Copy-pasting guitars to old tracks doesn’t quite do it (even though I’d love to hear all the drawer stuff, obviously), and I still think they can make better tunes than what we’ve heard from the demos so far. I hope we’ll get something from each of the sides. Edited June 11, 2023 by jamillos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 It was a bad idea to start with (Chinese leftovers with Slash and Duff overdubs) and HS/ Absurd is all the proof you need. This would only make some kind of sense if everything from the Chinese sessions was pure gold that can't be topped but this is clearly not the case. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would only make some kind of sense if everything from the Chinese sessions was pure gold that can't be topped but this is clearly not the case. Everything from the AFD or UYI lineups of GN'R weren't "pure gold" either. This is entirely subjective - and there are few things as uninteresting as hearing people say what they like and what they don't like and then act incredulous when other people have different preferences than themselves - but many people like Chinese Democracy and would be thrilled to to hear songs that were intended for the follow-up to that album. Personally, I think Hardskool is better than at least half of UIYs and I think a lot of the unreleased material has a huge potential. So don't try to "make some kind of sense" out of different musical preferences, just accept that they exist.

Perhaps, hard skool, absurd, state of grace, Atlas shrugged, oh my god, the general, soul monster and Oklahoma. That would be an album I'd buy and probably love. Also I don't get the hate for absurd, it's a quick song like "garden of Eden" but it's a bit more interesting, it's not amazing but it's cool in the way everything about the song it's absurd, is not a bad filler track. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garden of Eden is a short rock song you've heard thousands of, absurd it's a song that does everything to sound as absurd as it can, from the lyrics to the mixing and I think that makes it interesting. It's got a certain attention to music aesthetic and that one of the things that I like in music. My taste might be shit, but when you study music all your life and evolve from your teenagers musical preferences you might end up appreciating different things in music. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tboneman Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) BTW this year in Eurovision Finland had a Absurd kind of style of song. It came in second place and got most votes from the public. Maybe Axl should've wore a bolero on stage so then maybe Absurd would've have been a big hit too 😜😁 Edited June 11, 2023 by tboneman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair call - I love contraband myself, but for me, the 3rd of CD which I consider genius, was amazing and topped that IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
