Spike Killer Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I would love to hear the new version. Please, unofficially though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I don't like to think these are from the Trunk tape because that would mean they were 3 years old. I like to think they are more recent.Anyway 2 things struck me when I heard IRS.1) It was brilliant.2) It didn't appear as 'Rocky' as the Bloody Roses version. But I love the acoustic intro to it. I'm dying to hear the rest of Better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekgelboy Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) The OPENING CHORDS (nothing else) of IRS Remind me a lot of 'Army Ants' by stone temple pilots.Other than that, really like the rhythm guitar on IRS. Lyrics are a bit boring though. I expected these will be tweaked for CD.Better... Sounds very unfinished to me. The intro sounds like on the finised record it will be very effect laden and trippy bowie-esque space music style, which is cool. the section that is just starting as the 1.20 clip cuts sounds awesome would like to hear more of that.For a rough demo recording Axls voice sounds great.Thoughts?

quadlaser Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 does "better" remind anyone else of metallica's LOAD? it seems to me like it's a cross between better than you and the memory remains. and maybe a hint of fuel during the end of the clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 My GOD! I just listened to them and I love them. IRS is probably the best, thought, I love the vocal melody in that song, and Better is HEAVY! I can't wait for Chinese Democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I just can't quite believe how good these two songs are. The others like The Blues probably sound as good in studio version. I hope the time has come for the music to do the talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustindmnd2 Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Alright, I realize everyone has a boner over the new songs. While I am excited to hear Axl and am encouraged that Chinese Democracy might actually happen (barring Axl losing his mind and destroying all of the recordings... c'mon, you've thought of the possibility), the songs were nothing special. Better: Sorry, but this song is weak. The intro sounds like a 13 year old messing on a guitar, and the song is one big pop cliche' lyricaly. The main riff is boring, plain and simple. Axl's voice does sound good, though.I.R.S.: This one is ok... Another weak intro... Axl sounds ridiculous with the moaning in the beginning, but his singing is pretty cool after that. The shredding solo (Buckethead I assume?) is sweet as hell... too bad he's gone. I think some of the lyrics are pretty lame ("What can I do if I gave my heart to you?") more pop cliche's. I guess I just expect something more poetic and less sounding like it was written for Kelly Clarkson.I could see I.R.S. on the DaVinci Code soundtrack given the conspiracy theme it seems to have- it would fit the story well.I guess my bottom line is this: It's cool to hear from Axl, and I.R.S. is pretty good, but if these songs are any more than filler, this album will disapoint. It'll sell well then people will forget about it. I am hoping these are the songs that Axl will be leaving off of it, and we know he has like 30-something recorded for a 12 track album, so they may not be part of CD. I just expect more of him.Peace,Screech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnrziggy Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 simply have no ear for music all the shit that has been put out the last ten years I think nothing can touch this.

GooseKiller Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I would be flattered to see what you think about Contraband, (or any rock album this century) then, if you call these "Average" and "Weak"Also, I.R.S isn't even one of the top 10 tracks...

Carne_asaDA Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I would call I.R.S. average................but in perspective, if this what Axl has been cooking up for the past decade, then the song is horrible.I kinda like "Better". To me it has an indie/emo flavor to it. And I'm willing to bet that if Nas really worked with Axl in the past, this is the song that was worked on listening to the intro of the song.

Stranger Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 I don't agree with you. Both are very good demos, in my opinion.By the way, I'm curious to see what you think about Contraband...
