TWAT is new Paradise City?

[xj220]

I was thinking about both of the songs today and how they're more similar than different.  They both have quick tempo changes in the beginning during the chorus and have two parts.  The first half of both songs is kind of the main song itself with the main body of lyrics and whatnot.  When listening to them I get the feeling that the song is about to end even though it's at the half way point because of their build up.  Finally, the second half of each song is the long guitar solo and Axl singing more or less the chorus (or another chorus).  The second parts of each song are full of energy and PC and TWAT are almost the exact same length.  That's how I see things at least.  I'm curious what your thoughts are.

One more thing, in both songs, Axl seems to hold a cynical or sarcastic view on the subject matter that he is singing about.

I have never once been reminded of Paradise City when listening to TWAT

To each their own!

[Ines_rocks!]

na.. not at all... I love TWAT. as I said before it?s my favourite new song... However these songs can?t be compared to those of AFD... too different oh yeah... and u know why they are different... different league, different band... all of that... so yes... let?s enjoy the new songs, but not compare them to the classics...

Not at all, pc is one of the best gnr tunes ever, the beat the solos are awesome... Never though of twat when hearing pc..

[Sober_times]

In no way what so ever is Twat anywhere close to being a "New" Paradise City. This in no way saying one is better than the other, I just dont see any comparison of the type of music of these 2 songs..compare it too something off of Illusions not AFD, Twats not that type of song.

But TWAT is a good song...and tastes good too

here here, second one is better though

[da_pope]

Nah... Not similar in any way.
PC is a rocker while TWAT is a "epic".

Plus the guitar work on PC is much greater then the work on TWAT.

[2NaFish]

pc is anthemic, twat aint.

[ppbebe]

pc is anthemic, twat aint.

Twat is more personal and at the same time more global in a way. 
Chris's work on it reminds me of Tomita.

[Tomorrows]

PC is fun with a crunching groove. Its uplifiting.

TWAT is dark.

[xj220]

I understand they're different in their deliveries (upbeat and light vs heavy and dark), however I think they're more similar than people realize.  I guess my title was a little misleading.

[CAFC Nick]

TWAT reminds me more of estranged or locomotive than it does Paradise City.

[Carlos_f_Rose]

why cant people stop comparing songs? the blues with dont cry,  twat with paradise city...
 

[GnR-NOW]

TWAT is not a new PC, but it is an awesome new song that can be as powerful as PC, I also think TWAT has the potential to be a closer at a show.

[mikegiuliana]

PC is a timeless anthem that will always be remembered... Amazing gym song, amazing summer cruising song, just a song eevryone knows.. great sing a long as well..

[Mattattack]

This is what's wrong with some fans here. TWAT should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as Paradise City. TWAT will be a cool album track that die hard fans will get into, that's it. TWAT will never be a radio anthem, and if you think it will be you're delusional.

[Tomorrows]

Well, Ive got news for you: My girlfriend is a total GnR hater (it strains our relationship, lol) and I just had the leaks playing and she was like "that isnt bad". Then she asked me to play TWAT again and she confessed she liked it.

The new band will work a magic on people I am now convinced.

[SWINGTRADER]

None of the new songs compare to the old ones ?, and never will. ?I doubt that if the old band got back ?together that they could write songs as good as the old ones. ? You guys get mad when ?reviewers compare this band with the old one, ?so i suggest we should not do it either. ? This is a totally different band. it is not GNR , ?it is GNR by name only. ?new songs are very cool ?but nothing like the old tunes. ?You guys should compare the new songs to other songs of the current music scene ?not with the old material. ?I don't understand why you kids keep trying to convince yourselves into thinking this band is or could be as good as the old one ?. ? That is being disrespectful to the past ?and to the musicians that made us love GNR in the first place. ? I guess you guys think Paul rogers+ Queen is a better band than ?Freddie mercury's Queen ?right?? ?

[Krispy Kreme]

Let's wait and see if they play TWAT as the closing number  before rushing to judgment.

Yea? Well what about hating the new members just because they arent the old ones? Isnt that being disrespectful to Axl?
