firecrown Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I hope the first single is something that we haven't heard yet. I think that the demos are just more of a gift to tide us whiney brats over rather than being a stolen gem stone worthy of being put on a pedestal. They're probably just a blink of an eye in the CD field of vision. I can only hope though. I want some shock factor when I see and hear the first offically released single. But "demo" means incomplete and unpolished. So who knows what we're in for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ions Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Of the songs heard so far, I like 'The Blues' for a first single. But given the shitty attention span of the average listener, 'Better' would be a better bet. More accessible. Kick ass song too... - I agree with everything you said about The Blues and Better being a kiss ass song, but I'll add that for all we know Better could be a 12 minute track so it's a bit early to say it is more accessible. 'Kick ass' not 'Kiss ass'. - Anyway I hope you're right about 'Better'. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axl-rocks Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think there will be singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fade Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I don't think it's good enough to be listed with those songs. That song has potential but Axl has blown it so far with that song in the demos that we have. The chorus is horrendous, and needs a lot of work before it can be listed with those songs. If any song were to be an extension of that trilogy, it would probably be the rumoured "This I Love". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macunaima Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I think 'Better" is the best of the three leaked tracks so I would vote for that as the first single. On the other hand, I think people are right that it may be too different from classic GnR to start with it.Anyway, speculation is rather pointless about this. We'll just have to wait and see -- the only question is whether we'll be waiting weeks, months, years or forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokin' Cigarettes Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 That could be so awesome man!!!!!! Think about it!!! Release an album that you've been working on for over a decade, only to not have a single...... It makes perfect sense! More bands of today should follow that pattern.

SlashisGOD Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 There will be a single. Why wouldn't there be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlashisGOD Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 IRS will probably be a b-side, along with maybe Oh My God and Silkworms and/or Rhiad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus2889 Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 i think if axl wants to returns to the throne, hes gonna need a huge ass single that plays over and over again on the radio and a music video in heavy rotation on Fuse and MTV. the masses need to be told by the radio/MTV what's huge and what's making a comeback.

firecrown Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Not releasing a single would be a pretty bad business decision. Nobody would know about CD's release other than the diehard fans. The mass public wouldn't even know it's out there. That's like giving Stevie Wonder a 60 inch TV for a birthday present... It would be stupid and pointless.

T Patten Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 (edited) I'm not a massive fan of IRS, i think it's alright but nothing great, i much prefer TWAT & Better, but why i started this thread is to say how awful axl's moaning is at the start of IRS, i played it to a mate of mine who isn't really into G n R and she laughed her head off at it saying it put you in thw wrong mood for the song, well not in the wrong mood but she took the piss out of it......The moaning makes me cringe every time i hear it and axl has clearly gotta bin this off of the studio version as stern's already bashed him over it.Any Thoughts?

T.W.A.T. Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I was surprised the first time I heard the whole demo. It's kind of neet how it starts off like that and then suddenly gets really hard. I say keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shades Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Lets call it what it isIRS is good but T.W.A.T. and Better may have to grow on me, and thats being kind.And songs dont get "leaked" unless somebody wants them "leaked".which may explain the diversity of the three tunes.IRS is a vintage catchy lyrics, hard rockin That Axl's voice was meant for.T.W.A.T. is the all over the place ballad / hard riff changing direction epic kind of confusing tuneand Better has that techno pop shit we heard was coming with the package.Im hoping after the feedback, which I think is what the "leak" is all about,he will shelve the techno shit and mix it up with the IRS batch of stuff in the cachealong with a few ballads mixed in.JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elmir Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 Lets call it what it isIRS DEMO - ok, but feels like a filler song.TWAT DEMO - an epic in the making, too many ideas in there, hopefully the final version is tighter.BETTER DEMO - will be a radio friendly hit, and will top the charts, thus ensuring that CD hits nr1 and stays there for months.
