cold_as_ice Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 This song, outta all the rest that have leaked and performed in 2001-2002, reminds me of UYI II Era the most! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimo85 Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 There are parts in CITR that sound the same as the Blues. Was Scott right??? Grimo.Unlikely Grimo All bands have that unqiue sound, like Queen, Rammstein, all groups. Gn'R are no different, you can tell pretty much instantly, it's just the style the new Gn'R play in.Thank god I never noticed any real similarity between any of the songs anyway Axls voice is the first thing that hits me about the songs, instantly recognizable, and from that I just think GNR, not Finck & Tommy etc, just GNR Grimo.

Monty Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 Does anyone know if Brian May has been on Alice Cooper's radio show yet? I remember reading on Blabbermouth that he was set to appear but I've checked the site and in the "upcoming" section I couldn't see any mention of Brian May. I ask because I emailed in asking for Alice to ask about Catcher In The Rye a while back . Monty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FinckFortus Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I just wanted to say that CITR is a wonderful song (though some slight sectional issues where more bridging is required) and I think it has the potential to be a song to absolutely take over the world! Can't wait for the full version / good quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTGNRVR Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 haven't bothered to check 44 pages to see whether anyone else has said this so sorry if it's been said... BUT in the solo does anybody hear Brian May miss a note, I don't think it is intentional! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCGNR Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Well, the opening does sound similar . . .http://www.sixsixfive.com/images/hulkster.mp3Check out the intro to Oh My God and then play the Intro to Zeppelin's " Boogie With Stu " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

final_touches Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 CITR really grew in me. It's a really beautiful piece of music and I can't get that song out of my head now. I think the final album version in better sound quality and mix will have the potential to become a huge hit single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luciusfunk Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Brian May of Queen contributed guitar on this song.No shit. Well aren't you a pleasant fucker...I was just making a point because I saw so many posts saying it sounded like Queen and no posts mentioning Brian playing on it...

SunshineSlayer Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 After checking the lyrics a bit closer, I just realised that lyricaly this is VERY good song as well. I think it really hits the spot on the myth around this book. Excelent!Yeah, it really does. And people that aren't getting it, must not have read Catcher in the Rye or know much about John Lennon's death because the song takes on complete meaning when you do. These are some of the best lyrics Axl has written I think.I also have trouble believing that some people think this is the weakest of the tracks. Were all of these people expecting this to be AFD part 2? Because that is the only reason I can find for why some people would slander such a well done and emotionally affecting track.

James Bailey Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 To be honest, its the worst out fo the lot. Not the edge of rock from the other songs, and below what we think of November Rain, the only song that comes close to its style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W. Axl Kev Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 This is fast becoming one of my favourites. At first I thought the singing was weak in the song, but I think Axl's voice sounds better than ever. It's so clean and fits well with the song. I love the 'Nanana' bit I think that is sheer class. It's obviously influenced by the Beatles. Although I don't much like Brian May I think his solo is perfect for the song. The outro to the song is amazing aswell. I'd love to hear a version with perfect sound quality and preferably without skipping. By the looks of things, we don't have long to wait anyway.

The Sandman Posted March 26, 2006 Share Posted March 26, 2006 I don't know if they could pull off that song on tour though, minus Brian May, and Axl'd have to do piano whilst sitting and singing like in NR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl could strut around and sing - Although I'd like him to sit and play that one. I want to see how he handles 'IRS' live. It's a really quick song and it requires a lot of him vocally. If you look at pictures of Axl now it doesn't look like he has that voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could pull it off really well, if he stands stillish, and usess more hand motions and interacts more with the rest of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band was goin' superfast and Axl could barely keep up. Infact I think he finished singing 'Oh My God' about 6 minutes after the band had stopped. Of course having not performed since 1993 that obviously would happen. I hope he practices regularly. I'm sure he does because he has such a clean voice now and it is almost vintage and with the more shows he plays the more strength it will take. I was never a huge fan of the 'raspy' vocal because it was not really singing. However, I agree about his performace - Maybe running around is not as good an idea as it once was. Remember the Ritz 1988, they delivered one of the best shows ever and he had about 16 feet to move back and forth across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exaggerated Kev, it's 4 seconds in OMG, which was co-ordinated that way. Paradise City was cut vocally too, to make it easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the edge of rock from the other songs, and below what we think of November Rain, the only song that comes close to its styleSo you must not like Queen, the Beatles, or John Lennon then. I think this song is amazing for what it is a meant to be - a throwback to the type of music made by those bands and a tribute to John Lennon while at the same time examining the thought process of the man that killed him.And this is very different from November Rain. Just because both songs use a piano, it does not make them the same style. Edited March 26, 2006 by SunshineSlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
