your hopes for Libertad

[Gonzo Axl]

Judging from the clips, Im hoping and expecitng an album full of chemistry, with the Blues of Slash, Snake Vocals of Scott, Aggressive Punk from Duff *Who HOPEFULLY SINGS  * and more DeadPan beats from Matt *only kidding, hes good...*. BUT MOST OF ALL, I WANT GOOD PRODUCTION!!! I WANT TO HEAR THE SOLOS THIS TIME AROUND!!! But luckily with Brendon this time they'll find their sound. I Know they will!

[GnFnR87]

pretty much what everyones been saying:

better production
better, longer, solos that u can actually hear, not buried in the mix
sick baselines
groovey
more experimental, diverse songs
cool beats

and lastly but most important, i want it to rock the fuck out

Remember that little Slash/Duff/Matt video jam that lasted like 1 and a half minute and was available before the "Project" days?
I am hoping for a sound like that song.
I am also hoping for a sound like "Come on, Come in".
That song is catchy and has a good drive.
I like it.

I'd give my right nut for them to sound more like this again I actually like Matt's drumming on that one and believe me that doesn't happen that often

YES!
This little clip sounds so great - it sounds better than the entire Contraband album!
Actually I am starting to hate Scott Weiland. I think he chose the worst songs and he did a terrible job singing them! I think that I need a instrumental version of Contraband! The only song in which I think he does a great job is Come on, Come in.

I liked Contraband a lot.  I want this to kick Contraband's ass!  By the way, VR, come to Minneapolis or Fargo.

I didnt like Contraband, but i thought Scotts vocals were fine. The production wasnt good though. the riffs sounded too modern. I do like the 80's vibe i get from the VLOG's posted so far, but there only tiny clips.

[ShotgunBlues1978]

I hope that they take more risks in regards to experimenting with different sounds and song structures.  I'm hoping for more "signature" riffs.   And I hope that Slash really goes all out on this album.  Much of Contraband seemed like Slash was holding back, on both riffs and solos.  Contraband was a good album but in many ways too safe.  Take more risks and unleash the beast on this one

[Wooody]

my hopes? that it is nothing like contraband.

[Krispy Kreme]

my hopes? that it is nothing like contraband.

 I dint mind the album..kinda boring now though

[newgnr]

I would like to hear the music sound more like GNR rather than STP.

[w.axl.rose]

Hard question to answer, really.

I loved Contraband, so all I can really hope for is that I enjoy Libertad as much.

Don't really have any expectations as far as the music style goes. Contraband had a lot of modern touches, which I enjoyed ... but if they decide to make this one with a bit  more of a "classic rock" vibe about it (some of the vlog clips certainly give me that impression) I can totally see myself digging that as well.

I also hope Dave Kushner's role in the band will be expanded upon. I want more duelling kickass riffs (like in Headspace) instead of just his effects and textures underneath Slash's stuff. And give the bugger a solo or two - he's proven his chops during the live shows.

Better production/mixing (almost guaranteed with Brendan O'Brien on board). And maybe a bit more diversity in song structure / song progression than we had with Contraband.

dead flower i hope the same as you
