Lethalis Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) Pass You By has grown on me. I keep listening to it. It has a calming / soothing vibe to it, while I'm working and stressed lol. Edited May 12, 2023 by Lethalis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 It's bland unremarkable shit. Much like Turderness was. Not to mention a whinefest. This might be a hot take, but the only two (ex) Guns n' Roses members who's solo material has been consistently good, are Izzy Stradlin and Tommy Stinson. With Izzy I love his entire discography and his first 5 albums in particular. For Tommy I love his 2 solo albums, his 2 Bash & Pop albums and his Perfect album and EP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Izzy’s solo stuff is far better IMO than anything the other AFD5 created on their own. VR’s first album is the only thing that comes close and of course Izzy was there for the early songwriting. I do really like 5 o’clock somewhere, Adler and both Walking Papers albums 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) The fine leaders of the country I live in are definitely not smarter than me.

allwaystired Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Quite funny in some ways that they're a couple of weeks off starting the tour and the band members are busy releasing and promoting new solo material rather than the tour! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Come on folks, dig deep, these stadiums won't fill themselves". But yeah, you might be right to be honest. A crazy, off the wall suggestion though could be to release and promote something new from the band that are touring......but we all know that isn't going to happen! There is a very big silence and lack of promotion around this tour though. Nothing seems to be being done by anyone to drum up excitement and interest.

Karice Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) When I first mentioned being confused on why w o k e comes up as smarter than me, I got LAUGHED at. Only Wendi and Oldest Goat took me seriously when I first mentioned being confused on this. It's nice to see that more and more people are also noticing that w o k e comes up as smarter than me and no one is laughing anymore and are taking it seriously.

I really don't get it, people who go to see them year after year and multiple shows per tour. There are so many other (and often better) artists out there to go see. Why pour more money into yet another GnR tour where they'll do the same thing they did last year but slightly worse or with 1 or maybe 2 different songs (which will likely be different covers)? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendirosez Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) maybe because they like to support the band that gave them so much in their youth . so loyalty could be another reason. and also , if those who grew up with them have family /children , to take their kids/ family ...

I don't either. People like predictability and repetition I suppose. They get something out of it that I personally don't understand- probably as simple as "they enjoy it", but it's certainly not for me. Variety and stuff I haven't seen before is pretty vital to me when going to gigs. I don't think those are that important to a lot of people though.

I wasn't talking about you as one of the people who laughed at me. I'm talking about Posters who gave me the laughing reactions to my confused question. I actually thank you and Wendi for answering my concerned question in that thread. 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about a guy here who recorded AFD and UYI and has toured the world multiple times. If he wasn't Duff McKagan ("of Guns N' Roses" - that's the ONLY point of sale there), this abortion of a song wouldn't get more than 20 clicks on YouTube and rightly so. No wonder Axl doesn't feel like working on new music with these guys, they just don't have it in them anymore. Any bedroom recorder has more talent, heart and fire than this pathetic excuse of a smarter than me wannabe punk. Absolutely embarrassing. It might be a bad song, but being in the music business for 40 years has nothing to do with putting out better material-I think we can all bring up examples of bands who have been around forever that have put out bad releases in the last 5 years or so. Many artists dont necessarily get better with time-I loved Pawnshop Guitars, but each Gilby record declined in quality as time went on for me.

AxlSlashthebest Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 it's old but go to ear "Believe in in me"from Duff. It's rock, it's cool. I can't imagine thes 2 guys dont do a supers musics. Axl is in another world I think 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave up on Duffs solo stuff. Tenderness, that How to be a man E.P. ("Kill the internet!" Really, Duff?! XD), the last couple of songs he put out recently...it all sounds like written by a 14 year old loser, both lyrics and music. I'm done! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmicblues Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I like this "Longfeather" song... the odd time signature in the verse is cool, and it makes the chorus doubly effective when it goes into a more straight ahead feel. I can't help but imagining what Slash and Axl could've added to it, but I'm glad Duff is out there creating and releasing music into the world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
