Proposal: Personal bans on "CD Songs"

[Danny]

Ok everyone.  I wanna first say that for the last couple of years I had been convinced that Chinese Democracy would never see the light of day.  With the recent comments from Axl (and other folks) I think I was wrong.  I am doing a 180 here.  I now truly beleive (for the first time ever) that we are going to see CD soon...this year.

So here is what I propose.  Let's all STOP listening to Chinese Democracy songs.  If we have live versions burned on CD's...through them out.  Put purchased bootlegs in storage.  Remove live versions of Madagascar, Silkworms, The Blues, and the rest from your ipods.  Just stop listening.  Part of me wishes that I never listened to them so when the album finally drops (sorry for that line) it's 100% fresh to me.  but that can't be done. so this is the next best thing.


Thoughts?

Im hoping that CD is all new songs, and that maybe we'll get a bonus disc of the studio versions of the songs that were introduced in 01-02

uh no! lol. Listening to the "new" songs is pretty much what helps me get through the wait for the album. I don't think I could go a week without listening to at least madagascar. But if you want to do it then that's your choice, but myself I couldn't do it.

Yeah but for 90% of people those songs will still be new when the album comes out.

[-Jack-]

I dont really listen to the new songs much anymore... the ones I like I dont figure will be on the first disk anyways...

So im not worried

[jameslofton29]

Why in the hell would i follow that advice? I dont even listen to the old stuff anymore, because I had listened to it so many times and for so many years, that I didn't want to suffer extreme burnout like I did with bands I had listened to since I was a small child like Kiss, Zeppelin,etc. Whenever I listen to GNR now, I listen to The Blues or Chinese Democracy.

Remove live versions of Madagascar, Silkworms, The Blues, and the rest from your ipods.? Just stop listening

I love too much that song to stop listening to it.
However, I don't listen to "silkworms" and "oh my god". they're bad music.

[horsey]

fuck no'

[Warren]

People should keep on listening to Silkworms, OMG and Chinese Democracy.

So they won't be surprised if the album is mediocre.

That's only your opinion and not fact. Alot of people like those songs myself included. You just need to open your mind and stop listening to britney spears and justin timberlake 

[badapple81]

I think the studio versions will be a bit different anyway. Madagascar will sound kick ass with Axl's old school rasping studio vocals on it, which alonewould make the song sound so much different to what we have heard.

Listen to My World several times. Then it will appear that Silkworms and OMG are masterpieces.

With a great amount of will, people will assume that nugnr is doing great music.

Repeat after me : "Nugnr is great, nugnr is fantastic, nugnr is fabulous, nugnr is the best, etc"
All day long.

[misterbrownstone]

i can't go a day without the blues, i'm sorry.

[Warren]

i can't go a day without the blues, i'm sorry.

I really feel sorry for you, as the blues is not better than Breakdown for example.

I would even say that it's worse.

Well I know Im in the minority but I think my world rocks.

[HoldenCaulfield]

I think 'My World', 'Silkworms', and especially 'Oh My God' are all really strong songs (from certain aspects). But it's actually a good idea to stop listening to the new songs, so they'll sound fresh, but I love them too much. I've gone a couple of weeks before, and they sounded different when I started listening to them again. Good, but different. Which to me, the studio versions will have so many improvements (hopefully) that they won't be "the same song"...///.//./.

[Megaguns]

I rarely listen to them, I think that most of them wont be on the album anyway, Axl never said that The blues, Madagascar etc were the best songs he had, They probably were the only ones at the time of touring that were arranged and ready to go so they played them. Im glad they didnt play more newys than they did or it would have completely spoiled CD for us.

[Genesis]

I think 'My World', ... are all really strong songs (from certain aspects).

What aspect is that? 'My World' a strong song? It barely makes the title of 'filler'. 

[jameslofton29]

i can't go a day without the blues, i'm sorry.

I really feel sorry for you, as the blues is not better than Breakdown for example.

I would even say that it's worse.

Why are you here?

Cool cos Breakdown is a great song!
