A Reason for no CITR?

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

You guys must be deaf because Catcher is the song I've listened to the most.  It's a terrific song, the cream of the crop.  If it's not on this album, it will be a terrible loss.

i totally agree, citr is a masterpiece, even if its still a demo or whatnot.  the way axl delivers those lines towards the end still sends shivers down my spine, even after listening too it a thousand times.  it would be a tragedy for this song not to be released for the masses to enjoy

I just don't dig it, my hearings perfectly fine.....it bored the shit of me

Evr hear the saying different strokes for different folks......just not my cup of tea

[Jude]

I think GNR is saving this track for england tour and they gonna play it with Brian May, like in Wembley 

[BurningHills]

I doubt it'll be played. That song obviously wasn't intended to be leaked.

wow...sombody actually agrees with me about this song

[Krispy Kreme]

The song uses lines from Salinger's book. Those who know about Salinger know about his absolute refusal to allow permission for anything related to the book to be used. While the actual title of the book might be able to be used, there is no way this song can be released without the approval of Salinger.

Why do you think the song cannot be released without the approval of Salinger? You can't copyright a title, and unless the lyrics are directly taken from the text, I can't see how approval would be necessary or even relevant to the release of the song.

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

Because Salinger is a big jerk.

The Copyright business could be the matter with the collage on the intro of Madagascar and not with CITR.

Just matter of taste. Like CITR and the blues are only new songs that are not my cups.

EDIT I forgot the tee.

I think it's crazy guns fans don't dig this track, but I do understand everyone has different favorites. I just think that once this song does get released, the final version will blow people away. To me, it has the potential to be more "special" or "classic" than most of the other stuff I've heard (along with the  blues).
Back in 1989, I went to England and picked up a couple GnR bootlegs, one that contained the now legendary early version of November Rain. I knew it would be a classic even though the version was really rough, but everyone I played it for disagreed. I think the same thing can happen here with CITR. And the last point, I think this song will end up sounding more like the old band than most of the other new songs, unless Brian May's guitar parts are drastically changed.

yeah its bound to be played at the uk shows, it woulda been played at hammersmith if brian may had time to rehearse with them.
its an amazing song, very beatlesy. but BETTER is the best song leaked so far

[RichardNixon]

Don't like CITR=no taste.

[ppbebe]

Again, don't be dictatorial, Dickienix.
Would you be happy if I said "Don't like Silkworms = boring"?

now you are right.....to a TEE horrible i know

Me the same. I love sillyass puns.

You're right that we better wait for the studio version.
Besides it's no biggie if not every song on an album is orgasmic.

However to sound like the old band is not necessarily appealing, like neemo said. if you think about it, UYI didn't exactly sound like afd did they? I'm expecting them to give us something doesn't sound like GNR but is nothing but GNR, in spirit.

Incidentally, it's rather TWAT that sounds closer to UYI than the blues or CITR to me.

You said it Pat!

nice....someone who obsesses about asses is telling me i have shitty taste

Great big asses and CITR, doesn't get much better than that!

[Thorazine Shuffle]

CITR is a ok song, if definately gets better at the end with the different choruses and such.

I think Axls waiting for the album to be released.  He isn't changing the setlist anytime soon, thats obvious.

[VolcomStone]

i really hate it how everyone here uses the phrase "not to be an asshole..."
