Will you still love these songs if...

[Smoking Guns]

Mike, I know exactly where you are coming from....

Do I need to rehash my pathetic thread "How Pathetic Are We," ?. ?I agree. Look at all the newbies here. ?It is nuts! ?I feel like the guitars are trying to sound like something Slash might play to keep the GNR sound cause Axl knew how important that sound was. ?These songs are good. ?If Pretty Tied Up was one of the leaks, people would say "Oh my god, this is one of the all time great GNR songs...." ?Now, I like Pretty Tied Up, but it is not one of the All Time Great GNR songs, but it is on the level of these leaks if that makes sesnse.....

[mikegiuliana]

of course it's like climbing a montain and finally getting to the top, or being lost an finding your way.. I understand the exscitment, I am also listening to the songs enjoying them..

[BLS-Pride]

Better is the best IMO, its actually has the potential to be an ALL TIME GnR HIT!!!!!

alot of you people must have missed the first time gnr came around with afd..

Agreed.

All I'm saying is yes we should be happy for this long wait is almost over and  we got some good tunes etc, but the chick factor going on is unreal.. Of course PTU would get this too... I won't even say it's lacking slash or anything like that.. Just the reactions are like people bought their first radio..

[ppbebe]

Polly Not with those singers you listed...

But I definitely will on condition that the vocals should match the songs.

The songs that are the works of the 8 guys are that powerful.

alot of you people must have missed the first time gnr came around with afd..

And It seems that some ppl are missing that time all too badly and Out of time.

[Elrothiel]

PPBebe, that second part you said there... so true.

To all those people who were old enough to appreciate good music back in those days, I am immeasurably jealous of y'all. *sniffle*

To all those genius scientistz interested in time travel out there, BUILD ME A GODDAMN TIME MACHINE!!! *classic movie "nooo!!" pose*

[Axl8302]

weren?t Axl singing? ( talking abour IRS , BETTER, TWAT )
same melody, same lyrics, same vocal tempo, same EVERYTHING.... but not Axl singing.
imagine another singer, let?s say, the lead singer from Darkness, or Fred Durst, or Mike Patton, or Scott Weiland, Sammy Haggar... anyone

will you keep saying "holly shit, CD will be the best album ever!" ??

just a question

maybe not....but i wouldn't love welcome to the jungle if bon jovi sang it either.

[DOASHK]

No, it wouldn't be the same.  Axl is a instrument.  The Axlmonica.

exactly

[F*ck Fear]

Other than the industrial parts,I can totally hear the old Guns influence in Better

[Mandy.]

Some of these lyrics are really good, but I must say I didn't really like the songs very much.

[RnT]

Really?
I think this is the only song I didn?t hear the old gnr inlfuence

I hate Fred Durst, and Sammy Hagar.  Freaking whatever that guy said about his phrasing and his voice, and what he just f'n does with music. 


Scott Weiland was brilliant with STP but not so much with Velvet. 

If it wasn't all about Axl..... wouldn't Velvet Revolver be twice as big?

[Elrothiel]

Jimbo, the only reason VR suck is because Axl isn't the vocalist.

If I ever go to a VR concert, I'm going dressed in full Axl regalia, brandishing a huge sign saying "WHERE'S AXL?"



Although when I get down to painting the sign, I'll probably end up painting a huge long essay on where Axl is, and why he's not in VR, and why VR suck ass, and other such things...

I have a lot to say!

[Krispy Kreme]

No.
And I don't like the songs with Axl singing.

[Mr.Intensity]

These songs rule.. hell yeah.

[Elrothiel]

@ Krispy Kreme: Oh how ORIGINAL... *sarcasm dripping off the edge of my words like syrup from a waffle*

@ Mr Intensity: *agrees heartily*

When and if you do see VR, they will rock your ass off, and it will be the best concert you have seen. Read the reviews. VR will rid you of your delusions of grandeur  about a high pitched middle-aged man who obviously misses his mates  to help him write memorable songs that have a melody and  that are  listenable.

A lot of people on sludge said that IRS was great sounding until axl started singing.

[mikegiuliana]

SG just to say you'd love a vr concert,, major rock a thon is all I'm going to say..

.. if this was say your third favorite band would you sit here listening to demos that many times trying to decipher(sp) lyrics, and dreaming about how many copies one album might sell, or what would be the best radio single./..

I still think a good classic opening is missing in these songs.. Not a big fan of oh my god but that has the best opening guitar wise for me of the newer stuff

[Elrothiel]

Nah. I'm too much of a Gn'R fan to like VR.

I did TRY to like them. I bought the album, listened to it, thought "This is nothing special really..." listened to it again to make sure I didn't miss anything, and then thought "Nah.... this ain't workin'".

Its not like I HATE VR... I just don't like em! They do nothing for me!

Gn'R are the complete opposite end of the scale. They do everything and more for me! Pantera are a close second, and then all the other bands I love are all mashed into one big joint third...
