TWAT Discussion - your opinions

[gav]

If you posess a TWAT leak, run to your Gynecologist immediately?

^^fuckin hilarious!!

On a serious note, TWAT is definately a 'grower'. Love it

[NickNasty]

you're taken aback when you first hear it-but once you give it 2 more listens, you start to dig it-I've been pretty much playing it nonstop since last night. it just has a depth to it that I havent heard in any piece of rock music for a long time. it'll be intersting to hear the final studio take of it.

[warrocks]

the first 2 minutes mmmh i don't like at all...i mean good but it's a little boring ?......then it rocks! ?

[nonlinear]

fucking rocks!  i've only listened to it twice but it gets better the more you hear it

yay axl!!!!!!

[warrocks]

oh by the way i read on a slash forum that there's a lawsuit coming....

The second part is explosive. However I agree, something is wrong bith Buckethead's solo. it lacks feeling. Firstly some parts of his outro solo are too fast and don't fit with the other elements, secondly He tries to sound like Slash but fails. There's just ONE Slash, and Buckethead is far, far away from him. I'd like the Buckethead's stuff to be erased and replaced by Robin or Richard.

I think the first solo (probably robin) sounds great. Axl sounds exeptional.

[Thorazine Shuffle]

Jesus!  I'm off the internet and we've already got TWAT?  Was it released on Friday?

[conny]

Some people get to hear one of the best modern rock songs of the last years and all you can do is whine about how Slash is not playing guitar on it?

TWAT is so fucking huge I think most people have no idea yet how huge it really is. This song is a monster! We have to wait until we can hear the final version, but if you don't hear that potential then I don't know.

The atmosphere of that song is amazing.

It sounds like a classic soundtrack or James Bond anthem compiled with Garbage's "You Look So Fine" layered over a Led Zeppelin arrangement and then remixed by Trent Reznor. The guitars are fucking insane and how the whole song builds and flows is fantastic.

That's a standard C&D, there won't be any lawsuit so long as the guy removes the link. I'm sure a bunch of these will go out to various forums hosting the song, but it's too late anyhow. It's a wonder lawyers even get paid. They're utterly useless.

[conny]

I would like to add that all songs (except THE BLUES) left me kinda cold because they were good and well done but somehow not speaking ?to me.

TWAT is not speaking it is fuckin SCREAMING at me. The hairs on my neck stood up when listening to this a few times.

PEOPLE YOU REALLY NEED TO GIVE IT MORE LISTENS!

The more you listen to this, the better it gets. ?

And really listen.

Burn it onto a CD and play it in your stereo with decent speakers. Or use headphones.

THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!!

[nonlinear]

according to darknemus there were 7 tracks on the CD, 1. IRS 2. Better 3. TWAT 4. TWAT and 3 more instrumentals.

does anyone know if both versions of TWAT leaked, or do we just have one version so far?

 

[Grouse]

Both were leaked

[ARC]

both leaked. one slightly longer than the other

[tp4ever84]

I think this is more excessible to all the die hard GNR fans its more of a illusions style song.  Very good song I like  it better then IRS but Better is my favorite so far.  His vocals are not the most outstanding on TWAT but I believe they will be on the final version. 

[tp4ever84]

Is that the only difference the one I have is like 6+ minutes long.

[nonlinear]

really?  can someone give me the times?  the one I have is 6:43

does anyone know what the difference is between the versions?

[Axl_GNR]

the 6:43 has a longer guitar solo than the 6:01 version. both are great

[Steel_Angel]

i think he means different instrumental to twat..that one hasnt been leaked only the shorter one and the longer version. but theyre the same song..

EDIT: oops my bad, they are different.

[Grouse]

6.43 has a longer guitar solo then the 6.01

* edit * You beat me to it Axl_gnr

[Butch Français]

yep, 2 versions.
