Better 7/10
Madagascar 9,5/10

Potential for all songs we haven't heard yet is extremely high.

[greendog]

i noticed you did the potential out of Thyme, Prostitute and The General... you only gave one of them 10/10 for potential.

in my opinion, songs weve heard fuck all from, all deserve the 10/10 for potential, as they have yet to be heard. once songs have been heard, thats when you start taking the rating down (if it needs to taken down).

Rhiad (current state) =                                     6/10 (only because the recordings arent clear enough)
OMG (current state) =                                      7/10 (i see it as a b-side... unless the re-recorded version is on CD... which would be cool as fuck)
Silkworms (current state) =                              7/10 (i cant wait to hear a studio version... i do honestly love this song.)

In my opinion you should not even be rating them since you have not even heard them!

Crazy when people start argueing over whether a song should be rated high or low when they don't have a clue what it sounds like.

[Butch Français]

Chinese Democracy  8/10
The Blues 8/10
Catcher 7/10
Better 9/10
Madagascar 9/10
IRS 7/10
TWAT 8/10
Rhiad 4/10
OMG 3/10
Silkworms 1/10

somfin like that

dude... thats my exact point... im not rating it at all, im just saying something that hasnt at all been heard, should have a 10/10 potential. if you get what i mean. if it was a "current state" rating, it would be 0/10 because it hasnt been heard for people to have an opinion on.

so every unheard song in current state should be 0/10
and every unheard songs potential, should be 10/10

[The General]

Why not focus only on the songs that will be on cd:

Chinese Democracy
The Blues
Catcher in the Rye
Better
IRS
TWAT

+ 7 more "unknown" songs, but none of the songs you mention.

[slashisvr]

i will rate it when its in my CD player!

some of you people need jobs, girlfriends/boyfriends, something...this is ridiculous

You forgot Madagascar.

[Lucky]

These songs we have not heard but will likely be on CD,? could have the following potential:

Prostitue? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 10/10
Thyme ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?8/10
The General? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 9/10

are you an idiot?!!!
You are judging the songs by their title?!!
I guess you dont need to hear them at all if you already like them so much.

Idiot!!!!
Did I say that you are an IDIOT!!!

[Vadin]

Current State :

Chinese Democracy  7/10 (could be the best song with more heavy distorted guitars like the intro)
The Blues 5/10
Catcher 7/10 (Bri' May)
Better 9/10
Madagascar 5/10
IRS 9/10
TWAT 7/10
Rhiad 8/10 (One of the best songs wich kind of reminds me of Led Zeppelins "Immigrant song".
OMG 6/10
Silkworms 3/10 (nothing wrong with this song, but It's not a good song to perform live, that' it)

[Slashead]

How about the potential of the oldest song : "This I Love" ?

Pretty high imo.

[Lucky]

I think that you people have a strong potential to be the dumbest people on earth!!!!

how can you judge the potential?!
The potential is 10/10 for every song you stupid fucks!!!

you dont know how much they can change!!!

Go eat some fish, because your IQ is dangerously close to mr Bush!!!
