DeadSlash Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I'm not sure if anyone cares or was falling for it, independent of this forum, I've been trolling Ytube all day thinking it's going to drop because the records must have been pressed, and it hasn't been uploaded and "taken down." I promise, I would have seen. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get why he is green lighting Slash's replacement solos, which have been clearly inferior to the originals. You would think Axl would say something like, "you know Slash, let's go ahead and have you do your own version of the same note", which would be much better than replacing them entirely. Or maybe Axl feels like he can't really say shit because his voice ain't what it used to be either. How can he criticize Slash? Or he's just not that critical in general. Dizzy always seems to fuck up the rhythm or tempo on his part of Estranged, Axl fucks up the timing when he comes back in on that one and others like Sorry. And they have made those same mistakes for years at this point. If he doesn't care to sort that stuff out, it's not hard to believe he doesn't care what Slash plays.

DeadSlash Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 If you want something to tide you over, the "State of Grace Cover by Ken Mur" on youtube. I don't know if you can post Youtube links here anymore, or I would. It's a GD EPIC. Worth every minute. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNFNRUK Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 I’m crying over those lost Buckethead solos we will never hear 😢. I hope after this is released the superior original version leaks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of tens of thousands of the people in attendance at these shows, less than 100 can name a NuGuns guitarist from 1997-2015. Maybe even less than 50. I say this as a giant fan of CD with tons of respect for everyone who helped Axl with CD. Besides Pitman. Yuck. 😂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr-fukaji Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 (edited) this has maybe already been answered but who owns the publshing and all the important stuff for the Chinese Democracy sessions? is it just Axl? would anybody with a writing credit need to sign off?

GNR still has a big hardcore fanbase Actually I don’t think it does anymore. Hardcore means posting on message boards, Reddit, FB. Buying everything, deep knowledge of the whole CD era. I feel like that part of the fan base has dwindled dramatically over the last 20ys primarily due to lack of new material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yea, the hardcore fan base has dwindled over time, and been made irrelevant by the sea of casuals filling the stadiums or simply checking out because this band isn't very interesting. On the other hand, this is a band with so few albums that they don't really have deep cuts in the way the Stones, Aerosmith, etc. have deep cuts, I heard plenty of people singing/cheering for songs like Bad Obsession and Pretty Tied Up at the Vancouver show. There's people who only know the hits and people who know most of their songs, there's not a lot of middle ground when you only have a few albums. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell a lot of them probably couldn't name Richard and he is still in the band lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They played 2 minutes of The General as an intro to Chinese Democracy. So I found a live YouTube video from Puerto Rico and you can hear(if all the “Woos” and screaming allows) a 2 minute instrumental. Mods please don’t ban me, this is a public video xD.

vloors Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Simply more people know who Slash is. More people prefer the albums released with Slash. More people attend the shows to see Slash with Axl than any newgnr guitarist when they were around. Majority want to hear slash and his style on newly released singles not some forgotten newgnr guitarists. Axl if he had some intergrity would be recording all new tracks with the band. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
