Imagine if he kept that band intact. Robin and Buckethead were guitar Gods. Brain, a drumming God. Axl in peak condition, primed and ready to take over the world. The ceiling for this band was very, very high. I still have my Spin magazine, "what the world needs now is Axl Rose". And nothing could be truer at the time. Axl Rose no show at Philly and back to the wilderness for 4 years was a dagger to my heart, to my soul. I used to brag to friends and family how amazing Chinese Democracy would be and I would later on be asked by them, "where's Chinese Democracy?". The funny thing is that whether you prefer Classic GNR or New GNR, you’ll always end up at the same conclusion…Axl Rose really shit the bed with his decision making. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at MSG 2002 in the blizzard. The buzz was insane! I was at Vegas for New Years 2001 going into 2002 (front row) and then Tacoma 2002. I also saw them in Portland 2006. After he refused to promote the album release, I stopped supporting him. It's been all downhill for Axl and GNR since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sledge Posted August 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2023 The GNR music the world wants to hear is akin to the star wars movie the world wants to see in the sense that no one knows what that actually is. Not the first time I've said that but with repetition being the norm on forums I'm just trying to fit in. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucket and Robin are both awesome guitar players but they were never ever going to be fully accepted by the mainstream public. They were both such freaks back then (Bucket still is lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get it twisted. I love classic GNR (fav song ever is Estranged) and I love NuGNR. However, I hate the reunion and cash grab tour. Wouldn't support this BS in a million years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdaniel Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 It's a shit song. Definitely has b side/leftovers feel to it. Just really boring. Hopefully they release whatever they have soon so maybe a few years from now we'll get something good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real McCoy Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I still don’t know why CD didn’t just come out in 2001/2002. The locker leaks prove that it was ready to go. It seems like Axl was ready to release it until Bob Ezrin made the “three good songs” remark. Rough Mixes #1 + Hard Skool, State of Grace, and IRS. There’s your album. Done. Then you can finish the instrumental tracks for the follow-up. Hopefully one day we’ll get the full story of how that early CD era went so catastrophically wrong. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all the beauty of subjectivity in music Robin had some nice notes at the start of the solo but his version just fizzled out. I kind of prefer Slash's solo also. In the CD era though, it is hard to actually tell who played what. Really it is Axl creating solos by copying and pasting parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betterman Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 This is not a b-side folks! Its one of the better songs they have recorded and has a nice melodic side with maybe a wider commercial appeal. Still not heard it in good quality with headphones, but the song itself is great 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time I've said that but with repetition being the norm on forums I'm just trying to fit in. Damn right. I also think that even if they wrote a song about getting drunk and crashing cars again with a blues-inspired hard rock riff, people would just say it's a "worse" Nightrain or It's So Easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaghetti4twenty Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Pretty awesome! The Slash solo wasn't as bad as a I was imagining it to be. Love all the ear candy. Pretty surreal hearing a finished mix of it. So happy they kept the "weight around your shoulders" vocal effect on the last chorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could easily bring Matt Sorum back and do Velvet Revolver 2.0 featuring Axl Rose and it would be more successful.

You got to see Paul, how was he live? From what you can hear on the pro shot video that leaked his parts were pretty tight and the solos he takes on Rocket and Think About You were amazing. Paul is such a mystery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAxlMorrison Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I don’t get why people are calling it “still a leak.” It was officially released to radio. It’s real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
