Lesser hopes for CD's release

[madagas]

NESQUICK, yep.......can't wait to hear the other 28 tracks heavily influenced by............................................B-U-C-K-E-T-H-E-A-D....................say it again Frenchie.....................BUCKETHEAD. Richard.....SIDEMAN....THE HELP.......

[Skeletor]

Probably a point that has been made already, but comparing the CD demos to AFD is unfair anyway, they should be compared to the AFD demos.

These new gnr tunes? are pretty cool? ?but anybody who says they are better than any AFD tune is a moron.? ?

As moronic as those who say the beatles songs off sgt peppers are better than any tune off Help. After 1966 they no more sounded like the Beatles. Their disparate attempts to keep up with the kids resulted in losing their roots of the Liverpool sound. Listen to All my loving, PS I love you or can?t buy me love, which are real beatles, rough and edgy, Bahahahaha.

GNR is evolving as the Beatles did.  Not to be an asshole, but "A Day in the Life," is better than anything on Help.

Not to be an asshle but Need I say IRS and Better are already better than most of the AFD tunes if not all, or you haven't heard of sarcasm?

[madagas]

True, but Anything Goes is BETTER than A Day in the Life.....no, really, it is. Some 12 year old malcontent pimply faced kid told me so. ?

I read the news today oh boy!

[Nevesis]

I remember that a few years ago many on this board would say "When CD comes out it's going to rock the planet!!!" and that it's going to be the best album ever.? As tracks have been leaked out I hear much less optimism: some people have posted that "it'll be at least as good as the worst half of UYI... which is still awesome."?

What happened to that optimism?? (Is it still there?? Have people decided to "be realistic"?? Or is the material just not good enough to imply that the album will be 'earth-shattering'?)

Have your opinions changed?? (How do you think the album will be after hearing the demos?)

Chinese Democracy by the leaked tracks so far are some of the? best songs released over the past ten years easily.
Id take some of the new songs over a lot of the AFD songs. If? you want to compare here goes.


CD > You're crazy
riyadh > anything goes
The blues > my michelle
Madagascar > Think about you
IRS > out ta get me
Better > rocket queen
TWAT > night train
CITR? >? its so easy


So thus far the demos and live songs stack up very well against AFD and they are just demos

 
just no!

fuck if we get a few more demos you might as well throw out afd

I speak the truth, those songs are  better than the ones I listed on AFD (IMO of course)

[manny]

You dont think any of these songs are better than; Out to Get Me, You're Crazy, or Anything Goes

Are you even a fan of GNR in the first place?
That has to be the stupidest post I have ever read on the net.  You can like the songs all you want, but claiming they are better then one of the greatest and most influential rock albums of all time...   Put down the pipe, dude.

[Thorned Rose]

What happened was that people here got afraid when they didn't get 4 #1 quality single songs.

It's like this. It will be good... we have a taste of that. Worth the wait? No it's not... but we sitll wait.

It's bullshit and stupid. Hell... the wallflowers released their first album in 1992 then one in 1996 and another in 2000.

That's 3 albums in 8 years. Then in 2002 and 2005 they released some. That's 5 albums in 13 years.

Gn"r have been so much less active since 1994. It makes me sick. The WF took 4 years apart from their albums and still stick with it... Gn'R have taken 12 SOLID years fromt he last release (TSI 93)

Come on...

The Wallflowers??

GNR at their prime was one of the biggest rock groups of all time.  They were going to be the next Rolling Stones, or Zeppelin.  That's what there contemporaries were saying about them.  Then it just ended.  Right in their prime.  The wallflowers is a horrible comparison IMO.  They were never that big in the first place. 

The problem with CD is that the hype around has built so much that it is destined to not match people's expectations. I remember people saying it was gonna start a musical revolution and all sorts of nonsense.    It's gonna be good, no doubt, but c'mon....

Maybe you should read some of dave's posts before making a shitty remark like that.

Sorry, I don't read or post on this board hardly.  I don't know anyone's likes and dislikes and whatnot. 

Claiming that some leaked tracks are better then songs on AFD...  I have to question your sainty.

[da_pope]

@ da_pope: you have a pretty big mouth for a 16 year old,who hasn't even been around when gnr was big..

I don't need to have been to know that Guns fucking rocked... I own anything GN'R ever released.
INCLUDING one of 10,000 copies of Live like a Suicide.

Then dont judge longtime members here if you dont know anything.

Long time fans are just excited over these new songs. The songs prove the wait has been worth it, although we all questioned that for years. AFD is almost 20 years old. Us longtime fans have listened to it since we were kids. It gets stale. These new songs have injected new life into an almost dead band and a jaded fanbase. Saying he enjoys these songs more than AFD isnt shocking. I feel the same. Yeah, AFD is the best album ever made, but that doesn't mean we cant put it in the back of our minds and enjoy this amazing new stuff.

wow i'm impressed.... not!

i don't car what you think, and if you dislike the new band. i couldnt give two shits. i've loved gnr from the beginning and i have never stopped loving them during this journey, and i'm fuckin excited to be taken into a new adventure by this new band....  i think most of the people who sticked to gnr in all those years would agree to that

Yours is one of the stupidest post.
You are saying someone with a different opinion than yours are moronc or stupid? If someone like the band of today better than that of the past, then they're not a fan?

  Come on! That's not on. That is just not like Guns n Roses.
You're trying to stand in the way of the band's getting new fans, or what?
Are you even a fan of GNR in the first place?

[Sillything]

None of these leaked songs come close to Slither or Fall to Pieces... Hell I even think Dirty Little Thing and Sucker Train Blues beat all of them except for IRS...
But whatever, To each his own.

So your'e a Velvet Revolver fan, good for you But what does that have to do with Guns N Fuckin Roses? Not much I think

I can't even remember how VR came into this conversation. Seriously.
All I did was make one comparison and everyone fucking flipped!
