The Blues

[ppbebe]

Now, I had a listen to the Osaka version and I changed my mind. It's a Beautiful piece.

On the cleaner version, Pittsburgh was it?, I didn't like the intro piano.
I'd prefer it if it was a woodwind e.g. flute instead.

I think The Blues is much better than Dont Cry. Dont Cry is just a cheesy love song. Lyrically, The Blues is much deeper.

English is not my native language so I really don't care of lyrics. The important is the melody.

[Twisted Nerve 85]

Dont cry is a classic and js happens to be my favorite GnR song next to Coma. The Blues will be nice when the studio version comes out, but its still in the experimental stage, and the final result is up in the air. So will the blues be better than dont cry?

That remains to be seen. 

[nesquick]

I'm addicted to that song!

the blues version of toronto '02 is one of my favorite gn'r songs.
i think it's beautiful. i've spent a lot of 4am sleeplessness listening to the blues.

[jameslofton29]

The Blues and CD are my two favorite 'new' songs. Whenever I listen to GNR, these are the two songs I listen to.

[spuddy1]

I think the studio version will be up there with the best GNR songs ever.

[jameslofton29]

Spuddy, I completely agree. I have always thought that The Blues will be a major highlight of the album.

The Blues is a timeless classic, admit it everyone

Ye, when its released 
both great songs though. alternative Don't Cry is even better.

[Nytunz]

The Blues is so fucking great. Its up there with the greatest Ballades ever made!

That version is amazing! The Fortus outro is the best I have ever heard for that song. The man is technically very skilled. This outro recalls me the Slash one in "give in to me", with a KILLER Gibson sound. However I just have a crappy bootlegs sound quality, do you have this version with a good sound? can you upload it?
thanks.

Nes. Could you please PM me the song! Would be very happy if you could...

[nesquick]

if someone uploads it no problem, but I have a very crappy sound version for the momment.

[DemocracyRose]

I cant wait to hear a studio version of The Blues!!!!

[0001001]

Yeah the blues is great. First I liked maddy more than the blues but after all these years  my mind has changed.

Isn't it strange to know such a beautiful song and rest rest of the world doesn't. At least until it's officially released only a minority has heard it.

[RKD]

The Blues is great, and in the Slash/Finck thing, i gotta say Fincks Solos on the new songs (Played live) are much better than anything i heard on Contraband. and the Big Daddy SCOM Solo was IMO much better than the original Appetite one, but thats just my opinion

[younggunner]

everyone blames Axl and his liking NIN for Oh My God and Silkworms, but arent they the two new songs he had the least to do with? i was under the impression he only did the lyrics/vocals on those.

SilkWorms was Pittmans and Dizzys song.

I think SIlkworms gets bashed way too much. Is it a life changing song lyrically? Of course not. But I love the idea of the osng. Its like a new kind of a punk song. Musically I think it kicks major ass. As some1 said earlier the lyrical flow doesnt flow but musically it will kick ur ass. Especially when the band jams on it.

I think the weakest of the new songs is RHiad. I dont like/understand the vocals. I like it musically though. But thta is the only song I dont listen to as much.

All the other songs are very good some great. If we get stuff liek this I will be more than happy. Cantw ait for the studios that Boston Promo teases us way too much. Axl sounds great on those tiny clips.

Whoa, wait a minute.  Are we talking about the same Silkworms?  That song is atrocious.  The transitions are terrible, the song is all over the place, the music is bad.  That song is an embarasment to the GN'R name.  Axl should be ashamed of himself for allowing such a piece of shit to exist with his name attached to it.
