Here Today... Gone To Hell!

very good where im at : ok:

Reactions to what?! Axl's public appearances? The leaked tunes? GnR going on tour? Or just the comeback as a whole?

Maybe he means peoples reactions to bars

Like 'hey a bar, woooooo'

My advice would be to make it a little more obvious as to what the thread is about

My favorite thing in the world: Advice from a sarcastic noob with attitude.


Haven't been to any bars recently, but I've been to a couple parties and played the demos. They were well received. Especially Better. Haven't played CITR to any large group of people, just a few that came by my house. They liked it.

I know the bar loves when afd is played.. Nothing like PC

Take it with a grain of salt, since when are drunks great music critics?  :beer: :drool:

Drunks are pretty honest though  ;)

My favorite thing in the world: A guy who spends to much time on the internet, whining about what "NOOBS" do.

I got the DJ at the strip club in my town to play better and everyone started bad mouthing Axl, and not even listening to it. It made me sad.

"The" strip club? Only one? Where do you live?

Northern Canada

Haha good call, everyone under 3000 posts to their name should just stfu!... oh wait..

they are pretty impaired too, look at all the guys trying to hook up with fattys..  The old beer goggles

my bad, meant the leaked songs

what leaked songs ?
what are you talkin about ?

can you imagine some of the non gnr obessed people at the party....... oh no james is gonna play gnr again.  Yeah james.... they sound great... ok could we listen to some eminem now?  or some dave mathhews?  oh no james put on IRS for the 20th time tonight- yes james you did play the incomplete demo of better.... 14 times.

Try again making no mention of the band name, mate.

Oh cool, yeah I've played the ones that I've not been able to stop myself listening to to a few people, mostly casual GnR fans, and the reaction's been really good too.

most the people i've played the songs for liked them. a few didn't, but for the most part, they're the ones that have their minds made up before they even hear the songs. it's that " slash is gone, so the music sucks" shit.

my brother in law is by no means a GnR fan, but he loves the new songs. He said " thank god! it's not an 80's album. Axl sounds real good and the songs sound mature". He says he'll be buying CD when it comes out.

in about a week it will be 4000 posts :hihi:


i played better to lots of people and didn`t mention the band ...  the reaction was great..

i played better to one of my best friends and he was like: "which band is that? it`s great!"   i was really surprised about that. since he doesn`t like gnr very much except paradise city and is more into bands like bullet for my valentine, limp bizkit, etc.....    then i played IRS and he thought it was cool as well. he thought the songs were interesting and had a lot of cool ideas.

usually most people i know were never interested in the new band or in gnr in general, but these demos really changed their opinion.

The reaction has been really good so far, although some poeple have been a little put off if I mention the GN'R name before they hear the track.

Overall, the people I've played the demos to are loving the new material, whether they were into old Guns or not.

It's cool that people who never had the chance to get into Guns the first time round are getting to hear new stuff now, but it does mean that they aren't gonna react to AFD in the same way, because that won't be the "original" GN'R sound to them.

The reactions of some of my friends when listening to the new songs thought they we're OK.  This is the type of album that most people will have to listen to a couple of times...but I think it will be well recieved once they do that.  These 4 new songs...hell, I didn't like them too much when I first listened, but after a few plays I'm loving the hell out of them. 

I think a song like TWAT may take some time to get into because of its length and depth, so that doesn't surprise me.  Although, I think CITR could be one of those songs that people instantly get into because the melodies are great and it's a little more straightforward and linear, structure-wise.

I just hope that whatever the first single is, it's one of those songs that you just get into right off the bat.  That would be the best way to get people in the mindset where they're willing to give some of the more challenging songs several listens after they've hopefully purchased the album.

I wonder how many song sin their final stage wil be in the high fives or six minute plus range?? That can really turn people off with to many of songs that long.. Sometimes a song needs to kick some ass and get out..  I think songs like twat as with estranged might be more for the gnr fan who is really into them.. Better will give you the newer fans, or citr because it's easy to get into

a lot of the people areound me do not like gnr at all, but they said they didn't mind listening to TWAT or IRS but the said better was weird, i love them all, I havn't got CITR to play to anyone so i havn't done that
