dablooz Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 Hey folks,I have to register my opinion. Catcher in the Rye is not a good song, it's a GREAT song. Perhaps it's too long for a single, but man, doesn't it give you a chill to hear that? I would say that it is better than anything that is on UYI. Shows great maturity. I personally think Better, IRS, Madagascar, and CD suck. The Blues and and TWAT are ok. Catcher in the Rye is incredible.GU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridin' the Nightrain Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) Take everything you said, make it the opposite and that's my opinion.CITR is utter trash I reckon. Love the other leaks, though. Edited October 3, 2006 by Slash's Appetite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that catcher in the rye is better then all the UYI tracks. You think its better then November Rain? . I agree its a good song but its not as good as some good ol' UYI tracks.

-Sephiroth- Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 I think at first listen Better is the best track.TWAT on the other hand isn't that special, but it grows on you and is maybe the best song after a while.I think Better, TWAT, CITR, IRS, maddy, the blues are great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moop Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 CITR is great. The only problem I have with it is they should play the chorus more. It's played only about twice throughout the whole song and normally that wouldn't be bad, but because of it's length, they should've had it repeated at least 3 times.

Montrealer Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 CITR is great.It sounds more like a Queen kinda song.Why people love it and some don't, i guess it's all depend of you age and your knowledge about Rock music.This CD will be a multi-generation CD for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The song has no real flow.YOu peopel who kept calling for this live were nuts. It would have been a trainwreck.I agree with some of what you are saying. I do like it but can see much room for improvement. It has many things going for it. It would never work live. But I like the song cause there is nothing else like it. ANd a lot of fans like to hate on the less hardcore songs for the sake of doing so. I can think I thousands of songs that are far far worse in every regard.

The song has no real flow.YOu peopel who kept calling for this live were nuts. It would have been a trainwreck.I agree to an extent. CITR is a TERRIBLE arrangement, but I see much potential. It it was more refined, with another chorus during the last verse, maybe a longer solo and a few other things added or taken out here and there, I could see it besing the best song we've heard so far, save TWAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brizobst Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 CITR is my favorite of the four most recent new songs. The verses and chorus are good, but the synth part and especially the outro are what really do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Drama Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I Would List My Favorite New GN'R Songs In Order, But There Was A Time, Better, Catcher In The Rye, IRS, Chinese Democracy, And The Blues Are All Tied For First. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irs Better Catcher in the Twat Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I agree its better then any Illusion era material & maybe Appetite as well. A finished version of CITR would be a beautiful thing. Really hope it makes CD! I love this and the Blues the most out of the newer songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think Better, IRS, Madagascar, and CD suck. The Blues and and TWAT are ok. Catcher in the Rye is incredible.GUI wouldn't say it is better than TWAT, but it is certainly a highly commendable song. I'm sure it will become a classic like NR, in true GNR style.Is it just me, or has Axl lost the ability to write a simple, effective chorus?Granted, these specific lines may have been written by othres, but compare Madagscar, CITR, and IRS to..."in the jungle, welcome to the jungle, gonna bring you to your...""Ohhhhh Sweet Child o' Mine""Take me down to the paradise city...""Well, well, well, you just can't tell..."The new songs lack that sing along quality. when Axl and his current band get to the SCOM Chorus, the place errupts. It's hard to imagine a similar moment for any of the new songs with the exception of Better.Estranged didn't have a chorus as such, and it proved to be an extremely effective song. I think these new songs, such as TWAT and CITR are similar to Estranged in this way. They are epics, no doubt about it. Also, I think you forget IRS and CD. They have great catchy choruses.

bucketmaster101 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 At first i didnt give CITR a chance, but then i did and i admit, i liked it, not loved, but liked. I think it is better than some of the "filler" on UYI's but against songs like Estranged, Coma, Locomotive i really don't think it stands a chance.IMHO i think that either the Blues, TWAT or Madagascar are the best at the moment, but that's only me. I think madagascar could be truley special if the studio sounds good. Again that's only my opinion.xXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
