Music is either good or bad, it being reminiscent of a specific period in music history means fuck all to me. Sensibilities change and some music fare worse than others and just sound bad due to the decisions made back then. Appetite, though older, has weathered much better than Use Your Illusions. And if the songs themselves are poor, as I think of Bad Apples, it gets doubly worse. 1 Quote

He makes no sense. I don't think you should try to make sense of subjective preferences. I wouldn't say "hailed" Absurd, I just said I would rather listen to that song than many others. Why does my opinions on music provoke you? 5 Quote

Of course I am not faking liking Absurd more than some songs off Use Your Illusion. If such an opinion provokes you that much, then maybe ask yourself why? Quote

Cmon ... Been years of this It is not a "semantic game" to say you are wrong when you claim I have referred to Absurd as "modern". When comparing it to songs off Use Your Illusion I said it sounds "less dated". If you don't understand the difference, then you have a problem. If you feel provoked by my opinions on Absurd vs UYI, then you have a problem. If you can’t stand differing opinions just put me on ignorer or grow up. 51 minutes ago, Free Bird said: He should put everybody else on ignore But I don't have a problem with other people nor their opinions. 2 Quote

bumcheecksmcghee Posted October 18 Posted October 18 (edited) Anyone think a suprise "monsters" official single drop in 2 weeks for Halloween?? 🎃 🤷 Soon is the word 🤔🤣🙏 Edited October 18 by bumcheecksmcghee 1 Quote

They can keep this song - probably the best one so far - to invoke some excitement and momentum for the tour kickoff, especially if they create a proper video for it. () If they release it now, it may sort of slip through the cracks soon; yet another old demo, gone barely noticed by anyone apart from a half of GNR fans maybe...

It could have worked if they had a decent tie in movie, the last time they did that was body of lies right? I can't seem to recall any good halloween movies out soon though so doubtful 1 Quote

None of these Chinese leftovers will get any sort of attention now if released as a single with zero promotion, imo. Monsters wouldn't sell any tickets. So it really doesn't matter when they release it. Quote

Rovim Posted October 18 Posted October 18 every Chinese track that Axl releases officially gets us closer to another release imo so there is value in Monsters getting released as soon as possible. we can't just rely on leaks. 1 Quote

People hearing Perhaps, HS, General or Absurd can't possibly believe this was the band that once wrote YCBM, Estranged, Breakdown, Locomotive, Nightrain, PC, WTTJ, Patience...basically anything AFD - UYI era. This basically makes My World sound like stadium anthem 4 2 Quote

You are speaking for yourself. In my opinion, Perhaps and Hard Skool could easily have fit onto UYIs, and although not as great as most of the songs you mention, are much more aligned with Guns of the 80s and 90s than My World. 6 2 Quote

This basically makes My World sound like stadium anthem In my experience this is usually the position held by old pretentious bags that still think Chinese democracy was a bad album. im not saying that you are any of the above, seriously I’m not. its a type of fan that I never understood, the one that constantly make comparison with previous material without being able to appreciate or value anything that goes out of what they believe the standard should be. a bit like when numetal came out and all the old crusty Metallica fan would bitch about how it wasn’t “real metal”. 3 2 Quote
