New songs - the novelty has worn off?

[Neemo]

i don't hate the new songs but i haven't listened to them in a while....

I am not the type to listen to the same shit forever and ever...I need a break

[BrokenGlass]

I listen to There Was A Time and Catcher in the Rye pretty much everytime I put my headphones on, but I don't really go out of my way to listen to Better or IRS. Still good songs, though. ?

[The Dog]

I love how people say they dont like the new songs yet they still come in on this board. ? Seems to me you are wasting your own god damn time. What do you come here for. This place and others are for talking about and waiting for Guns N' Roses' new album and tours to come. I honestly dont get why you people are here. All I hear is how you dont like the new songs, you dont like how Axl treats his fans, this and that and all this other bullshit. No ones forcing you to be here, just fucking leave. There are many Velvet Revolver boards and and even sub-boards where you can go and talk about the old band all you want. Wake up, the old band is over and wont be back in a long time, if even at all. Just get over yourselves.? With that said, I love all the new stuff, cant stop listening to it. I'm more pumped than ever for this record. Its everything I have been waiting for. Its the best music I've heard since maybe the Illusions.

Just in case you don't know, there are A LOT more GNR songs then just the leaks.  IF you don't like the new stuff, you still might want to come here to talk about the old ones.....to each their own dude.

That being said, I like the new songs, but I find myself wanting to listen to the old stuff more - does that make me "less of a fan"?  please.

[Lord Kayoss]

I don't know if its just me, but I'm kinda bored of the leaks already

I was bored with TWAT and IRS from the get-go.  But Better and Catcher In The Rye are still in my CD player.  I never get tired of great music, and IMO that's exactly what those two songs are.

hanna don't let some of these people get you down, they have no idea what they are talking about, like you are less of a fan for not being in love with each leak like the week they came out.. Leaks are different then normal albums, when we get a leak we listen to one song a billion times over, and so on when the next one finally hits, so then you have two songs you listen to for days upon days, and it's not even because it's so good it's because it's new music you have been waiting for from your favorite lead singer.. So then weeks become months and you see nothing come out of it (cd) and you are burnt on the tunes already.... So we had irs twat citr better, was everyone here supposed to listen to those 4 tracks forever?? Shit you take every gnr song ever done and see if there aren't 4 you never listen to anymore, that must make you less the a fan... What if these 4 new tracks weren't all new favs of yours were you supposed to just keep listening each day and acting the same as you did the first time you hear them??

You basically get one song a year but god forbid you get tired of these tracks that you listen to 6,000,000 times each... Some act like they never heard music before....

If you are still listening great if not what the fuck is it anyone elses concern..

[rgr1607]

I still listen to the leaks on a daily basis. They're all great, except IRS.

[daviebuckethead]

i thinkl i am in the minority when i say that i think that twat is a great song, the verse is amazing the chorus is quite good but building up to the outro i think it is great. everyone raves about citr and i like it too, but no one seems to mention the fact that it is a bit disjointed in areas, although still a great tune.

i think the actual mixes of these songswill be absolutely killer. people think that better and irs are "better" because they are better quality leaks than the rest (or is that just me??), i think the quality of CITR is a bit crap, but the song shines through.

whenever the "finished" version of TWAT appears with the orchestratioj kicking in, i think folks may change their mind...

I hear ya bud, loud and clear.  None of these dudes bother me, I just think its soooo funny how some of them are so adamant that these new songs are better then ANYTHING on AFD! hahah.  Really funny.

Honestly, I have been listening to Avenged Sevenfold non stop for a month - I hope the new GNR kicks half as much ass.  They're going to be playing at Hammerstein in May.....I kinda want to go, but I doubt my poon friends or my girlfriend will be interested in going.

[Wooody]

this dude likes avenged sevenfold more than the new songs 

[NickNasty]

I'll admit, I'm listening to the tracks less...but not because the 'novelty' wore off- I wanted to take a break from them before i start listening to nothing but guns a week or so before i go to dublin

but hey man, if they just aren't grabbing your attention, cool. everyone's taste is different. only demos anyways.

[The Dog]

this dude likes avenged sevenfold more than the new songs 

shock - someone likes something else besides GNR!??!?!  WOW! haha 

Not even that I like AX7 more, I've just been in the mood for faster, harder songs.  The leaks are just kinda slower then what I've been in the mood for lately.  I'd much rather play jungle or PC then any of the new songs.

[JB9988]

i still listen to them everyday at least once. I love the new songs and i like them much better then the old songs.

[ARC]

Madagascar, The Blues, and TWAT I could listen to forever.

The rest have suffered from me playing them too much in such a small time period.

Once I get the album though they will be like new songs again, so I'm not worried.

[icpillusions]

TWAT and IRS are amazing.  Twat is definately in my top 10 from GnR.  I don't know why people don't like IRS, it is the vintage GnR sound.  I listen to them daily also.  Novelty has not worn off for me at all.

Did I say any of these songs were better than any of the old Guns songs. Fuck no, so dont put fuckin words in my mouth. All I said was that this is the GN'R board, where we talk about the new band. There is a place on this board to go and talk about the old band, go and find it. You guys are acting like these songs are pieces of shit. They are definetly the best songs I've heard since the Illusions. I still listen to the old GN'R music more than the new stuff. But the thing is, I can make them co-exist. I just dont automatically say that the new songs aren't that good because you know, my precious Slash isnt playing on them. You guys are pathetic, Slash hasnt been in the band since 1996, I think its time to move on. And believe me, the leaks arent the only thing I have been listening to. I listen to all kinds of music, I was just listening to Dr. Dre not even an hour ago. So dont fuckin assume things about people you dont even know.

[Mr.Intensity]

I haven't gone nuts listening to them.. I didn't put them on my ipod and I didn't put them on any burnt cd's, I only have them here at work where I listen to them through headphones on my down time.

[BabyGorilla]

Wasnt it always said that TWAT was about axls childhood abuse? I  thought Axl or some article made that claim. But listening to the songs and lyrics dont make it seem that is what its about or was that a different song?

Great point Dave. You are correct. For years we heard about it being about his experiences with child abuse. I agree, the lyrics are clearly not dealing with child abuse. If it is about child abuse, it is some warped view of it.

Where did that rumor come from? And is TWAT about Steph?

I dont really think it was a rumour. Mentioned in various magazine articles over the years, and I think Axl has mentioned it himself in the past, but I'm not sure. Maybe the original lyrics did deal with child abuse, but he changed them.

Axl probably changed the lyrics because the whole abuse story was a fabrication.

[faldor]

I used to listen to each of the songs at least twice a day.  I've refrained lately though and actually haven't cued them up for about a week now.  Not because I'm sick of them though.  I have Sirius radio and there's nonstop commercial free music on 24/7, not to mention Howard Stern.  If I had to listen to regular radio though I'm sure I'd still be pumping the leaked tracks nonstop.  I'd like to keep them somewhat fresh though in case the album ever comes out.

[The Bedouin]

i hardly listen to them....still waiting for the big guns
