TWAT Discussion - your opinions

[Ax]

I haven't listened to any of the leaked songs either. It's tough, but I figure that I want my first experience of them to be in their final cd version. However, that being said, I am aware that the release of the cd could still be years away. I mean I wasn't going to listen to Madagascar, The Blues etc. at first because of the same reason and its been 5 years since they surfaced, so I'm glad I didn't hold off listening to them.

I figure that the announcement of a release date for the cd should be coming in the next couple of weeks if the record is going to come out this year, so I figure I'll hold off on listening to them for a couple more weeks, but I think if we get into March and we have heard nothing about a release date, I'm going to give in and listen to all the leaks.

[destroier]

I'm sick of all of those songs now. The Blues is still my all time fav though.

[DoubleTalkingJive]

I never even gave it a second thought, is that wrong .? ?

No, neither did I! It's not wrong though, it's because of the length of time we've already waited to hear these songs.

Yeah...Agreed ?My feelings are hey if this available I'll listen, I have too..I could never deprive myself of this...especially with all the buzz and everyone talking about it...to the people that have not listened to these yet...I don't know how you do it

[Nick722]

Yeah, I've only been waiting a year or two.

[GNFNR_UK]

Yeah, I've only been waiting a year or two.

Oh, yeah that's not as bad then. Some of us have been waiting to hear Axl's voice again since The Spaghetti Incident in 1993, not as easy to hold off!

Oh about Lisa Reeds analogy of 'It's like shaking/opening your presents before christmas', how can she say that?! Seriously, you shake your Xmas presents when their under the tree like a week before christmas. The Blues and Madagascar were 'under the tree' 5 years so your damn right I shook em up and opened em! lol 
Same deal with these new leaks, if there was a confirmed release date on the horizon then I'd hold off but we know how long everything can take in the world of GNR. Put it this way, when the album itself leaks onto the internet a week before release I won't download and listen to that cos I know it'll be coming.

[boston]

the LEAKED song's blow away anything you have heard before that in any way involves the CHIN DEM record

that is the point of them


now go listen to them

uncle Axl wants you to,
 he would not have planned for these leaks if he didn't

[RitzWalker8]

Song kicks ass, but I like Better a little bit better.  All 3 songs in fact are great!  I am very excited and I feel very vindicated.  I am getting a lot of friends calling me, I am from the Boston Area about I.R.S. on WAAF.  They are like that song is pretty good.  Amnd I am like you ain't heard nothing yet.

few minor changes

Twat (There Was A Time)

Broken glass and cigarettes
Writing on the wall
It was a bargain for the summer
And I thought I had it all
I was the one who gave you everything
The one who took the fall
You were the one who would do anything
One who can?t recall
Where she was while she was sleeping
In another?s women?s bed
Or the doctors or the lawyers or the stranger that she met
If there?s nothing that I can gain from this
Or anything at all
It'd be the knowledge that you gave me when I thought I'd heard it all

It was a long time for you
It was a long time for me
It?d be a long time for everyone but looks like it?s meant to be

Social class and registers
Cocaine in the hall
All the way from California
On the way beyond that stall
To those non-negotiations, to simulate a call
While the battle of medieval, and your ways around the laws
That'd keep you up and sitting pretty
On a pedestal of fear
And now you're sleeping like an angel
Near than man who reaped It
If there's something I can make of this
Or anything at all
It'd be the devil hates a loser and you thought you had it all

It was the wrong time for you
It was the wrong time for me
It was the wrong time for everyone
But it looks like I'm 'bout to see for myself

If I could go back in time to the place in my soul
They?re all alone, lonely teardrops
Ooh, are calling you
But I don't want to know it now
Cuz knowing you it won't change a damn thing

But there was a time

[solo]

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

Yeah, There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

I would do anything for you
There was a time

I would do anything for you
There was a time

I would do anything for you
There was a time

[solo]

There was a time
I would do anything for you

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all
And I don't wanna know it now
Don't want to know it now

There was a time
Didn't want to know it all
Didn't want to know it all

[steviebucket]

Not to harp on BH's solo... but he does some tapping on the 5th string before the last phrase of his solo... favorite part of the song for me...

How desperate is that? Bash a demo? Gimme a break!

Some people never cease to amaze. How moronic do you really have to be to not notice it's a demo? I mean, c'mon, the mixing is all over the place.

Pisses me off.

Why'd you have to post that link, Brownstone?

i don't think it's mornic being you can praise a demo and see the potential... I can give an honest positive opnion of a demo if I like it, so why not the opposite..

Axls vocals are not distorted on TWAT

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

am I the only one that doesn't have a bad thing to say about TWAT?  that song sounds PERFECT. 

[axe]

Axls vocals are not distorted on TWAT

Yes they are. Listen to the "sleeping in another woman's bed" part and it's obvious. It fits the song and Axl's stretchy delivery nicely.

[ARC]

I advise you to listen to this song a few times before judgement....

It's a song that definately grows on you. The best kind.

[Axlative]

Well, being an unfinished product, it is bound to get only better not worse from the demo stage. And as the most obvious shortcomings of the track are technical instead of artistic, I'd say it is really stupid to bash it like that.

Most of all, no it isn't hard to tell whether it's a muddy demo or not. That's the dumbest line in the whole review. While the world is full of polished turds on the charts, this asshole bashes an obviously great but unfinished song because... IT'S UNFINISHED!

In addition, the rest of the article reads like: "What is Axl Rose thinking? Is he trying to make a great song like Estranged? Sure sounds like it! What a moron!" I just don't get it? All his examples are pretty good music on their own (AFAIK/IMO) and he bashes TWAT for sounding like a mix of them. I'm baffled.

[RichardNixon]

And this is tongue-in-cheek people!

People who don't like TWAT:

1. Have a mullet, are still stuck on Motley Crue, and can't fathom a song being more than 3 minutes.
2. Are into modern rock, but have a short attention span and can't fathom a song being more than 3 minutes.
3. Are elitist pricks who think "Chinese Democracy" is a cock-rock "Smile" and don't appreciate Axl's genius or vision.

[Dont Try Me]

dont worry bout that......... who cares mate......if the song works for you welll good.........if it doens't...too bad.... doesnt really matter. 

"it's music"....your life does not revolve about other people liking or disliking guns songs.

 

[Markus Asraelius]

My personal opinion of TWAT is that it could be a lot better if it had a better beat to go with it or should I say more of a beat. This song isn't even completely there but it needs some more work done on it, if it hasn't been done already.
