I love this song.  I can't wait till the finished version is released.  I also think it would make the popular charts, it's got a good rhythm to it.

I wake up hearing Better in my head though lol

I like this song a lot too!  We get an Axl screech, great guitar jams, axl screaming and singing with intensity...!  This song rocks pretty good for a demo.  Its different from the other leaks, more of a catchy little bit of a rocker.  I like all the songs so far, but catch myself listening to this more than the others!  Its easy and edgy, different from previous stuff as far as beat and stuff...

Excellent point.  But for what it is, its awesome.  Def not the next WTTJ, but a good rocker nonetheless.  The other songs are just on a whole nother planet.  But, its just a demo...studio could blow us away!

Chinese Democracy Is Coming Some Day!!!


« Reply #407 on: March 01, 2006, 07:15:42 PM »

Well for what is is worth IRS is still at #49 for the 2nd straight week according to Radio and Records!
I still cant believe this is on the chart for a 2nd week. I love IRS but what I cant believe is that a leaked demo is charting.

Here's your link

How many stations are still playing this?

(A) anyone else thinks that the guitar effects of "irs" on the left side sound terribly cheap and utterly contraproductive for the song; as if axl was afraid that it might sound too "normal", so he?s selecting effects by chance without getting the right feeling for what is needed... like "ah put that on that guitar, hey, this should run through some more effects... and hey, we could use a flanger on that guitar...! yeah i definitely think we need some keyboards and chemical brothers effects on silkworms, chris and dizzy, can you do that, just listen to a nin record or ask robin...you know make it sound more electronic and epic... just some more samples, ah try some of these..."

how likely is it, that this approach could ruin lot of other fine pieces of work on cd?  instead of giving the songs a traditional sound, it seems that axl is trying to attempt a cool-modern sound (which intention i appreciate) but fails, f.e. with irs, silkworms...
so the songs on cd could all sound a bit too "constructed", not as homogenic like nin for example, too overproduced like "oh my god". simply because axl is afraid to rick-rubin-like reduce things to its substance or core... (and i think that some of the new songs really have "substance")

(b) ok, now to the vocals on irs: the lines from "when you fist told me you were gone" til "seen it coming all along" just sound WRONG - meaning that rhytmically they don`t really go together with the guitar riff ... i mean it`s not out of time, but it`s not fitting too well with the rest of the band...

what do you say?

i dissagree and i think that the guitar works well in irs.  Axl knows what he is doing and isn't goign to release anything that he doesn't like or think will work.  he isn't going to release anysongs that the fans might not like now is he, unless this just backs up the argument for irs not actually being on CD

i made a mistake when i wrote that some vocals don`t really go together with the guitar riff ... i wrote "IT?S not out of time, but IT`s not fitting too well with the rest of the band"   "IT" does not relate to the the guitar riff but to the vocals - it should be the word "THEY" (instead of IT)...

sorry to confuse...

Sorry if this is an annoying post...but can anyone direct me to some lyrics for I.R.S. ?

I tried on google but they're clearly posted from some realy bad source and not either of the leaked versions or bootlegs i've heard...just seem really bizzare.....

I'm sure i read a thread with 2 or 3 peopld on this board nutting out the lyrics - but i cant seem to locate it now....so if anyone can hook me up i'll be very happy!!!

« Reply #414 on: June 05, 2006, 09:37:40 AM »

Some of these lyrics aren't correct. This is my interpretation of the lyrics

-------------------------------------------------------------
LOVE
Is it true?[/b] It's true
What they say
Of you?

Gonna call the President
Gonna call a Private Eye
Gonna get the IRS
Gonna need the FBI

There?s not anymore that I can do
All the reasons that you gave
I'll follow you
To when you plead the fifth, that?d be the end of time, its true <-- Not too sure whats there but it aint 'the fifth'.

Wouldn?t be the first time I've been wrong
Wouldn't be the last I should have known
Through all the rumors I can tell,
Some things didn't work so well

Well anyway, it feels the same

As when you first told me you were gone
So long ago, but I've been here long
To all the luck getting outta the debt
That's the truth and here's the worst yet
Wouldn't even matter the things I say
You made your mind up ad hoc anyway
There's no use now in not getting on
Could've seen it coming all along

Well it?s true...ooh...I had
My doubts[/b] with you <--- Sounds like a chicken so I think its "begun" or something that sounds like that.

Gonna call the President
Gonna call myself a Private Eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI

Gonna make this a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face
Read it daily with your morning news
With a cheap hangover, and the headlines true now

[Finck Solo]

I been thinking you're too bad for my health,
I should've looked again then at somebody else
Feelin like I done way more than wrong
Feelin like I never gonna get ya outta this song
Feelin like I'm just too tired to care
Feelin like I done more than my share
Could it be the weight[/b] that I've carried on <--- That doesn't actually make sense, I'm pretty sure its "Way"
Like a broken record for so long

And I do
Ooh, oh.
I'm Gonna call the President,
I'm gonna call a private eye
Gonna get the IRS,
Gonna need myself the FBI.

Ooh, what shall I do
If I gave my heart to you
It's such a crime you know it?s true

[Bucket solo]

Gonna call the president
Gonna need myself a private eye
Gonna need the IRS
Gonna get the FBI

Gonna make it a federal case
Gonna wave it right down in your face,
Read it daily with your morning news
With a cheap hangover, and the headlines true

There's not anymore that I can do
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know I'm probably wrong with most of these but this is how I see the lyrics. Feel free to make any corrections or ask any questions

I was actually toying with the notion that it could be way instead of weight also.  Nevertheless, I think weight works with the song too because it can signify a burden, i.e. a burden weighing you down.  Way that and weight that would be (and are) hard to distinguish from each other, so either could be right.

From the sound of it, it seems to be a song about something like writer's block.
I know Axl is reported to have said it was about tax. Roll Eyes

Assuming it was proceeded along the lines of the demo leaked earlier (in march?)
I think this song will make a "stairway to heaven" of the 21st century.
