Reactions/opinions from non-die hard fans

[HungerForChaos]

The only song I heard before I got the leaks was WTTJ, and I really liked it, but I never bothered to listen to anything else or really cared. The leaks are what made me a fan of this band and I'm starting to get into the old stuff too, but I think they're tied with their biggest classics like SCOM and Estranged.

Some girl I know randomly picked up my iPod and played Better, she actually liked it although it isn't her style of music.

A friend of mine who saw GNR in 2002 and fell asleep during the NEW songs didn't like IRS the first time he heard it.  I sent him the full song and the next day he said he was singing along.  He liked Better, but wasn't sold on CITR or TWAT the last time I spoke to him.  I told him to give them a fair shake though.  It took me a couple listens to appreciate them all.

Well yeah I know that, but how can you like "newguns" but don't care for the old music that just isn't right

My friend loves Better, and he thinks IRS is great. He's not too crazy about TWAT though.

I played the tracks to a few coworkers(well ex now cause I quit.)  BUt those that heards it were really suprised in a good way. Better and IRS seem to be the fav .

I even played the tracks for fam. sister, mom , dad, (hell my mom always asks me what ever happened to the welcome to the jungle guy.lol, I played TWAT(lol) and CITR, she liked them, as did my dad, well he was a musician in a band in the 60's, but he liked these tunes as he put it"well atr least hes playing music now".

[da_pope]

The people I played them for didn't like any of them except for I.R.S.
Oh and one person like Better aswell.

My brother LOVES Better, but i'm not sure on the rest. Even my Mom liked all the leaked songs I played for her (all but CITR). My friend from the Navy is visiting this weekend so I'll have to get his opinion for you guys.

Hunger for Chaos, welcome. Good to hear from a new fan. I think it kicks ass that you became a fan after hearing these leaks. I think CD will gain a lot of new GNR fans when the album comes out. Good nickname BTW. With this band, chaos galore! 

I played Better for a friend of mine who only knows the big hits and isn't a GNR fan in any shape or form. She loves Bruce Springsteen  so I guess you can say she is not really into this kind of music. She loved it when I gave her a lift and played the song on my car stereo. She asked if I could put it on again. So I think Axl is right: there will be a song for everybody to like on CD.

you`ll have plenty of time to get used to that

this guy, by the way got into the old gnr, after listening to the leaks....

edit/ people i played these songs to, liked them and were amazed in some cases

[daviebuckethead]

i don't know i think im in the minority but my favorite new song is TWAT, i think it sounds most like old GnR and is much more complex than the others. the others are good too, very modern, industrial sound, however very, very simple riffs, whcih may have a danger of getting repetitive or maybe radio hits, who knows.

 i think axls voice is what grabs you from the simpler ones, incredible!

but still TWAT is the best by a country mile to me, but the others are more modern so may appeal to different people.

cheers

so far, 'Better' has recvd the best response from the friends of mine who arent GNR fans.  One guy even told me the wierd opening got stuck in his head! 

Based on my unscientific poll, they should release Better as a single.  It has a way to gluing itself to your brain.

I then played them to people i know, wiouth telling them who tey were, about 50 % knew, and the rest wanted to knoqw, good news, however there were some people who said they didnt care and the fact that i wouldnt tell them mae them care even less, do you think indiffference is bad or good?
