Do you like riyadh (yay or nay)

[RichardNixon]

NO!!





(but is has potential)

I vote yes, but I see what James is saying. I think its a diamond in the rough.

[Sillything]

Yes, it's awesome!

[jazjme]

I fucking lvoe the tune, and really want to her it on CD, and played again.

So thats a yes!

[dave-gnfnr2k]

9-2 so far.?

I dont think we need an update on the vote tally when the voting has just begun, and its still on the first page. If the total was 2-9 you wouldn't have bothered giving an update.

we just need a vote at the top of every page

I cant wait to see how you interpret some of these votes. Some of them are pregnant chads. Some of them aren't giving a clear answer. You should ask Jarmo or a mod about doing a real poll and letting it be in the GNR section for at least a few days. I would really like to know what all the active members think of the song, instead of just a small sampling like that last poll we did last year.

So far its
13 yes
4 no
1 so so

[axlsalinger]

I do like the song, so it's a yes for me. However, I still haven't heard a particularly great version of the track yet, cleaned up Vegas is the best out there, right?

It sounds like there's a lot going on instrumentally, but it's too muffled to really hear it. That's why we all want to hear the studio version, since we haven't heard the song anywhere near properly yet.

The most Zeppelin-esque of the tracks so far. I don't think this song will make Chinese Democracy, although of course I can't say for sure. It's just not as good as the other new songs we've only heard live (exception Silkworms).

[Naupis]

It's ok, but not the type of quality one would expect for an album that has this type of time and money pumped into it. They can do better.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

NO!  It's garbage!  The song has it's work cut out for itself.

Jack doesn't count, the fucker likes Silkworms.

[kockstar999]

No it sucks......  i dont like it very much at all

[-Jack-]

Bitch Silkworms is the shiet!

Haha.

Also.. I don't think Vegas is the best version.. i have this version.. and it starts off with this weird announcer voice.. I dont know. Way better solo than Vegas and the vocals are about the same

[Cowboy Buddha]

yes um

[gilee7]

The file I have of "Rhiad" is rather poor quality. I guess it's the live Vegas version or whatever (starts out, "this is uh . . . a really interesting noise" . . . which I believe sums up my opinion of the actual song). I'm interested to see how a studio version of the song would sound, though. But as of right now, I'm not a very big fan of the song. I have a feeling, if it turns up on the CD, it will be my new least favorite GNR song (unless it's had a lot of changes through the years).

Oh, and btw, I heard "Silkworms" for the first time the other day. It was nowhere near as bad as everybody makes it out to be. I'd much rather listen to it than "Rhiad." I think, musically, "Silkworms" is a very interesting song. The lyrics are a bit juvenile, but juvenile lyrics can be fun. I think people would actually like a studio version of that song. Whereas "Silkworms" is a quite a listenable track, "Rhiad" usually gets on my nerves so much that I can't even finish listening to the song.

So, uh . . . I vote "nay."

[supaplex]

i like the song. at some point it was my fav out of the 5 new songs played live (before the leaks surfaced). i really would like to hear a studio version of it

[2NaFish]

yay

[dave-gnfnr2k]

17 yes
7 no
2 so so/ok

[duga]

It's in the middle of the new songs. Worse than TWAT, Better and Madagascar of course, but better than OMG and Silkworms.

[jameslofton29]

17 yes
7 no
2 so so/ok

I categorize the so so's as a no.

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Of course you would and even if they were you will still be wrong since you always said no one liked riyadh.
And the so so are really a yes since they dont hate the song. They can re do their vote to Yes or No if they want. Your claim is still totally wrong judging by the voting.? Right now its about 70% that people like riyadh. You are always so vocal that everyone hates riyadh, you should really learn that your name is not everyone.

[Poof!]

Ever since I heard it back in 2001, it's been one of my favorite new GN'R songs. The studio version will be a monster, judging by the aggressive riffs and vocals.

[hackvresse]

yes

Dont be so fucking condascending. ?Did I ever say my name is "everyone"? I doubt if I ever said no one liked Riyadh. Of course some people are going to like it. Hell, a certain amount of people think anything they do is good, and would even claim a fake as being one of the best GNR songs ever. That last poll we did was inconclusive. There was very mild interest, ?and of course most of the people that were willing to click on the thread were more likely to say yes. Plus, that poll got moved to dead horse pretty quick.

I dont think a real accurate poll can be done until the album is out and Riyadh is on it. Then, everyone will be giving a Cd review, and then we can see ALL the members opinions of the song. There is very little interest in this "poll", just like the last one, and that has something to do with no interest in this song.
