Personally I would've preferred a video for Monsters similar to Perhaps. On the up side, at least they got the half-assed AI video out of their system with The General and maybe now Monsters can get something better for a video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post traddfolks Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 Slash playing Don't Damn Me is far more special than this turd. What is with this band and the cartoons? The stage videos are the worst. Always a fucking cartoon. Who is in charge of this shit? 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoMw94 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 3 hours ago, DingBat said: Yeah, there are complaints on here about the video, but no one has said they don't like it because it isn't some "big-budget production with the band acting in it", you've just made that up. Maybe don't take things so literally. If we were having this conversation face-to-face, you'd know what I was inferring. People are saying that they want more. What is more? Bigger budget, more 'effort', that, basically. There are multiple comments saying it's "lazy" or there's a lack of "effort", the band is "too lazy to make videos", "known for great videos...not even trying", and there is one saying they could all film something together in "a studio" – the comments of people expecting more are on every single page. As for the views, it's YouTube – are people watching those (talking of other artists, not GN'R), or are they using the videos to listen to the song? Casting to their TV or speakers in their homes? It's a bit of a grey area that nobody can verify. It does happen. You seem awfully angry with me 😂 It's only a music video, I haven't hurt you, I'm not worth you getting so wound up 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think we'll see those potentially someday soon. And Todd's handling those vocals. I love Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Sweersa Posted January 25 Popular Post Share Posted January 25 The video would have been better with less or ideally no AI and the inclusion of Buckethead in some of the shots as it would have been fitting, especially if they restored some of his leads for the video. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They protect the band/Axl by censoring half the sub The reddit mods are literally their PR team they've been censoring all criticism for a while now. https://www.thesyn.com/ Can we even be sure Axl's love for Taco Bell is "confirmed"?

But yeah, in the end it is just sad, and honestly the fans picking apart every frame, they got what they fucking had coming releasing a damn AI generated video im not getting torn up about it though, its done and over with.

Seb91 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 (edited) On the upside, it cemented that the song's still growing on me and having been very meh when it first dropped I'm thoroughly enjoying it now. Love Slash's shreddy solo at the end. Plus, I'm finding the chorus a surprising earworm. However, in terms of the video, yeah it's not too great. I'm finding the band's aesthetic these days in terms of art and logos (see also Hard Skool) is the sort of thing I'd have found cool when I was 12/13 in the 2000s but it seems super dated now. That being said, I did like that it was something other than a live compilation video and it was fun to see all the band members in it. Wasn't expecting any GN'R activity whatsoever in 2024 so it's nice that there's still some limited activity. What it really hammered home though was how god-awful the mix is. The vocal track sounds pretty rough especially. Still, as has been said, hoping that some decent memes come out of this Edited January 25 by Seb91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, if you want State of Grace, that would mean Axl actually having to go and record something new in the studio (unless there are versions with other vocals we haven't heard). Which he surely hasn't done for the demos they've released so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk) As long as the vocals are good, then I prefer they stick to whatever they have than re-record. I get that re-recording will make it represent his current voice and might make it easier to make it fit with Slash's guitar, or whatever, but then it could also potentially result in nothing being done, so.... And the vocals to State of Grace are phenomenal, at least the version in the Locker leaks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
