#1571 Re: Guns N' Roses » First single prediction » 942 weeks ago
One thing people keep forgetting though is that the masses and critics haven't been listening to these songs as long as we have.
I'm not forgetting that. The intro is part of what makes CD such a great song. That intro is amazing. I couldn't imagine it being taken out.
I think CD has enough balls to grab people. I would say that the first version of Better we got could also do a good job in getting attention, but it can't be the overproduced version. I like the 06 version better, the one where the guitars and overall production had balls.

Gotcha Katie Couric!

So, it seems we have a pretty nice majority who want either CD or Better. Those are definitely the 2 best choices of the songs we've heard. CD is a challenge though because the intro is fucking awesome but there's no way you could include that in a single.
Why not? I'm sure a lot of people said there was no way November Rain would ever be successful without being cut down in length, but it worked.
I say leave the intro. Fuck people who want to edit music. That has been some of the biggest mistakes artists have made in my opinion.
Take A7X's radio version of Afterlife. They cut it down and did a little re-aranging of the song, and it just destroyed it. I can't listen to it when it comes on.
GNR even made that huge mistake with SCOM i felt. They really should have left it alone. Axl was right in saying that people were robbed with that song, because Slash's solos are key in making that song so great.
As for my vote, i vote CD with the intro still intact.
Second single, i hope it's an unknown song.
Third single, a ballad. Could be Catcher, Street of Dreams, or TWAT (full length). I exclude ITW since it's already on a movie soundtrack and thus likely won't be released as a single.
#1574 Re: The Garden » Gas Prices going down? » 942 weeks ago
Of course gas prices are down, gas opperates by laws of demand. It's getting colder, and people aren't traveling as much as they do during the summer. That's certainly a cause for the large drop in gas prices.

The quote says that it's how the album opens. That's not true. The album opens with a bunch of Chinese people talking and then a crunching guitar lick. THEN Axl's scream comes in. He ain't on there for a full minute and 25 seconds of the song.
Haha, we're talking about journalism of course. They don't always have the facts. They also stated Prostitute was unheard.

Doubt it.
The blood curdling screem that opens the album is the first thing you hear from Axl- the opening scream to CD.
#1577 Re: Guns N' Roses » Best Buy Posts Album Artwork for Chinese Democracy » 942 weeks ago
Had it been delayed until 2012, it would have been a six track EP....
2014 there would have been a single with AFD bonus tracks. 
#1578 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy Official Tracklist » 942 weeks ago
We're definently getting just about all of the 'big guns' that have been talked about over the years, even dating back to 92. I'm glad this is finally seeing the light of day. It's WAY beyond the point of no return. Axl pulled the trigger finally.
I like that tracklist better than the original. I think the first 6 will open the album pretty damn good.
#1579 Re: The Sunset Strip » Fall Out Boy Album Moved Back Six Weeks (Funny GNR mention) » 942 weeks ago
Funny, I never said VR were greater than STP or even compared the two directly. I said VR was Weiland's last shot and he blew it. The STP reunion is past its expiration date. I personally do appreciate the style of music VR plays more than STP, yes.
I took your comment on Weiland as meaning it was his last shot at being relevant, ever.
To me, he could make a comeback still- if STP make a new album. The STP reunion has been very successful. They never expected a fully sold out tour. Perhaps if they cement their legacy with the follow up album they should have had after SLDD, then it's very possible.

I'd be very interested to know for sure what Beletrami has done for GNR. I just don't think that his experience allows anything he works on to be gold. If not all the songs that he worked on are on there, then i'm sure there's good reason.
While Beletrami's parts may stand out, maybe the other ones might not so much. Maybe Axl felt it didn't go with the theme, or maybe there was issues he had with them so decided not to use them.
When we're talking about music at this level, GNR's B-List songs are better than most of what's out there. I think Axl really took close to all of his best material. Of course, theme is an issue so it may not be all "a list" material.
