TWAT Discussion - your opinions

[fear the juggalo]

i think it's great

[Dont Try Me]

it's messy, the guitars, vocals, I dont know what to make of it

That's because it's a demo?

I love the chorus.? It needs to have a cleaner mix, but I love the lyrics, they get stuck in your head and fit the song perfectly

must be then.... I'll wait with my finall judgement untill the official release ofcourse as should we all

the lyrics are indeed awesome, nothing wrong with the lyrics.

Somehow I still moan a bit about the chorus... someone slap me. 

[Woooo!]

The song is excellent. Probably my favourite out of the 3. I'm not sure that it should be a single but it has great potential.

[Thorned Rose]

In fact, I would say TWAT is better than November Rain, and Estranged put together.

It's downloading for me right now, I haven't heard it yet, but I'm seriously not sure how you can say that.... better then both put together? I'm really looking forward to hearing this then.

I'll post my thoughts when it's up, it's 54% right now. Thanks

"T.W.A.T." is my favorite of the three new songs. In fact, it's probably my favorite of all the '99-present songs. It isn't as instantly catchy as "IRS" or "Better", but it definitely grows on you. My all-time favorite song is "Coma", so that sort of thing obviously appeals to me. And I'm sure that I'll like it that much more when I hear the studio version.

One thing I've read a few times on here is that "IRS" is an average song with the exception of Buckethead's solo. I don't really agree with that. I think that the highlight of both "IRS" and "Better" are the vocal melodies, and if anything, the solos haven't stood out to me. With "T.W.A.T." on the other hand, I think that Buckethead's long solo is amazing. That's not to say that it's the highlight of the song or that it "makes the song", because I feel that Axl completely matches Buckethead. It's an all-around homerun.

Since I've had a chance to listen to all three songs properly by now, I'll say that "T.W.A.T." is my favorite, followed by "Better", followed by "IRS", with the last two being interchangeable.

[Thorned Rose]

Well, after listening to it... I can say that... well we can't judge Better in this because it's just a clip where these are the full songs or demos....

Out of TWAT and IRS... I think the more complex song is TWAT.

The best guitar is in TWAT which must have Buckethead's parts in it in the end. It sounds so fresh... Axl Rose still has it. I'm really looking forward to this album... what is the hold up?

[ARC]

Axl's voice sounds great on this tune. 

UYI-era-ish...

[thelostrose]

the song is amazing, it really grows on you. twat reminds me of dire straits, not musically, but the song is basically finished after 3minutes, but after that it takes a turn and there's those 3:30 minute solo. something mark knopfler did before. and i just like that.

[nesquick]

twat reminds me of dire straits,

yeah, definitely! There's something of Dire Straits there. Dire Straits is fucking genius. I have their DVD, it's exeptional.

[audjon]

This song is so fucking ridiculously awesome.

Amen, it pretty much says all there is to say about TWAT.?

[Gunner2002]

This song is so fucking ridiculously awesome.

Amen, it pretty much says all there is to say about TWAT. 

I have to agree. This song is amazing. By far the best song they have put out yet. The guitar and flow of this song is brillant. It is almost like Estranged on steroids. The true GNR sounds we all yearn for. If Axl is going to put out music like this I commend him for doing his own thing because he will leave the rest of the folks in the dust.

opening reminds me of a wutang clan beat... Cool tune though 2nd best out of the newest ones for me..

[FlashFlood]

i love when the acoustic rhythym part kicks in at the slow solo.

[mikegiuliana]

Just to add I love the backjground vocals, that is a real plus to the song..

[disease51883]

Very true. I knew that it reminded me of some kind of rap beat.

i think that in general with the newest songs is the only letdown that it's not some guitar rif just turning on the minute it starts.. Both better and twat are not my type of starts but both songs are good..

[michaelvincent]

Now we've heard and seen The Red Capt. playing guitar at RRIII and
for some reason I'm suspecting he himself is playing the first solo beginning at the
2:38 mark.  Now I have no proof at all so dont lambaste me okay but the solo
does sound quite simple enough for newbie, so to speak.

That has all the qualities of a Robin Finck Special: the twitchy bends and the sort of nervous sounding hammer-ons he seems to do a lot of. I wish I could get into his style more, my biggest hope is that whoever is producing this album is really getting to lay back more.

I like the start of both songs. They're different. If anything, the beginning of "IRS" doesn't do much for me. It's cool when it starts rocking out though.
