It would have been nice to see STB instead of DLT and now Im a big fan of YGNR. I know that in my review I gave it something of a bad review, but after hearing the song live on May 20th @ PNC, I was walking back to my seat from trying to get a beer, and something in Slash's solo towards the middle-end of the song, made me think a bit of "Estranged" and I kinda danced my way back to the seat the way Axl would have done so on the video for Estranged. I just hope they learn for the next record how to handle the whole singles thing, because they definitly got thrown off with putting out DLT instead of STB.
Its amazing to me how I can play Contraband now and I hear very strong songs now to work out to. And its not like every song is work-out material for me, particularly if I get sick and tired of hear the same shit over again, but I can put Contraband right up there with AFD & UYI, because I can alternate between the three and get the same intensity of listening and activity from each record when listened. GNR music is alive and well, even in another outfit
