People,

THESE AREN'TE DEMO'S

That is funny since merck says other wise. If you want to play semantics and all they rough cuts what ever, its the same thing. These versions are not the ones that will appear on CD thus they are demos.

We're all kind of putting on the "speculation" hat here... but I don't think these songs will be measured against the back catalog by the general public... if the songs are catchy (Better) or interesting (CITR)...... the album will be HUGE. The only people stressing about comparing them to the back catalog will be the music critics/historians, Velvet Revolver fans and die-hards like us.... but some 16 yr old kid driving home from hockey practice is probably not really going to care about how Better stacks up to another song recorded before he was born.... if it's good and better than anything else in high rotation... he'll buy the album and will check out the band when they come to town... I don't see how that formula has changed....

Personally, I thought new GN'R's demos were far fresher and more interesting than "World Wide Suicide"- and I'm a huge Pearl Jam fan. Pearl Jam won't keep GN'R off the charts... maybe in 1996... but NOT in 2006.

This is my honest opinion (not because I'm on AXL's side) and I do think some people are gonna agree with me.

These demos leak are far way better than Contraband. They blow away Contraband...

Contraband is just ok...VR have to produce much better album if they want to compete with AXL's CD.

Ask an U2 fan, a Pearl Jam fan or a Coldplay fan and you might get a different opinion.

What's the point?

The point is this is a forum where we... umm...write our opinions down.? confused

If we didn't, it wouldn't be much of a place now would it..?

it's because you already know the answers here.. The other forums will be as one sided as these are when it comes to what they think is great music aka their band..

I've always found that if you want real opinions on your favorite bands music do it on a non related forum.. People that haven't beenw aiting forever or have no personal ties will give you a more honest opinion
