DanteStraviosky Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 - I really hate SCOM. - I love Rihad, My World and Scrapped. - I didnt know that Axl wasn't the singer in DTJ. -Ashba was really cool for 2010 but at some point things went downhill with all the #demented #hashtags and bottled water stuff. - I was a huge Bumblefoot fan when he was with the band, and loved his solo stuff but can't connect/enjoy with any stuff he has done post-Guns; same with Tommy. ย 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 (edited) DJ Ashba's tone reminded me of Buckethead's tone. I though GN'R's 2011 and 2012 performances were better than the 2016 and 2021 performances, except I enjoyed the NITL Chinese Democracy more. I was not a GN'R fan until I heard the leaked Better in 2007 or so. Edited July 19, 2023 by Sweersa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimisbatman Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I thought Axl was a perfectionist, then he released the brickwalled to high heavens HS/Absurd.ย Then I need to confess, I truly believed new music would come after 4 yrs of reunion touring lol.ย 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allwaystired Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I'm so frustrated by the squandering of talent that is GNR that it has driven me to clinical depression as I endlessly turn over what the point of talent is compared to inherited privilege, and why people would conciously destroy their opportunities.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BucketEgg Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 I don't hate Sweet Child of Mine, but voluntarily (as in I didn't hear it while going around outside or in a livestream for a concert), I've chosen to listen to My World more times than SCOM. I've also voluntarily chosen to listen to Get In The Ring more times than SCOM, i think it's a fun(ny) song. ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WhazUp Posted July 20, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 20, 2023 I think 90 percent of the Village Sessions insturmentals are just kinda generic sounding and I think the story of how they got leaked is more interesting than a lot of the leaked disks 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, Velvet Revolver is basically just as much if not โmoreโ GNR than Nu-Guns, but at least they made a name for themselves and wrote new songs.ย ย Hell, if you use the logic that the frontmanโs presence is enough to justify keeping the name, itโs like saying velvet revolver is stone temple pilots.

MildlyArtistic Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 My hot take is that I wish the band would actually try to make an album or just retire.ย Axl sounds horrible live nowadays and has done since late 2017. I used to believe that he still had some in the tank, but nowadays when he rasps it's some horrible gurgling rasp that sounds incredibly forced. I think the rasp is mostly gone for good.ย ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(from age 12-14) Refused to believe it was axl coz it was so different vocally to every other song on appetite i'd heard.ย lol. Same. Appetite started getting popular when I was 12 and it was clear to me that the guy on guitar whose face you can't see was singing It's So Easy on the tape until my much older sibling told me it was Axl. I thought Axl came in just to sing the high parts at the end of the song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
