Okay I kinda listened.

I just listened to the opening (before the skips) on Catcher, Scraped, Sorry & Love. And then bits and pieces of the middle & end, due to skips, but really not alot at all.

Catcher 2008 - sounds very different from the 1999 demo. I don't even hear May's guitar, so unless it's redone or buried under several guitars in the mix, I dunno. It takes away. The opening is really... bad. It's mixed to a point of being muddled. Too many sounds at once, for the ears to ever focus. The song is still very strong, and a great track, but at this time, until I hear the finished version uncut on the actual album, me thinks '99 was better.

Scraped - worst... opening... ever. For the most part the song is pretty good. It's very very different for GN'R, and i'm still out to lunch on just what it is and how good it is, being I refuse to listen to the rest. But the opening is terrible. I hate Riad's opening too, but Scraped's opening makes Riad look like Welcome To The Jungle. What convinced him to let that make the final cut is a head scratcher.

Sorry - i'm thinking Baz was intentionally being misleading. Because his description is ALL wrong. This is SOOOOO GN'R doing Pink Floyd. It sounds totally like a Floyd song, or at least the David Gilmour-era Floyd. It's so much in that direction, that Axl should've actually called Gilmour in to do guitar if he was interested. His voice is great, but this song will be something to chew on for decades imo.

This I Love - seems like a really good song. Not quite what I was expecting. I was expecting a cross between November Rain & Estranged, somewhere in-between the middle of those songs, and instead got something totally different. Does anyone else think this totally sounds like Axl doing Freddie Mercury? This sounds like a Queen song. As soon as I heard it, I thought it was Axl doing a cross between "Love Of My Life" and "Is This The World We Created?". That's really my opinion of this song. So if you liked those Queen songs, you'll like this.

I'd actually like to hear more of Axl doing straight up piano ballads like this. When he said a few years ago that some of the tracks sound like Queen, he wasn't kidding. Catcher, Love, Street of Dreams, If The World... all seem to have Queen-influences all over them.

Yeah, but did AC/DC sign their catalog with Rock Band? I thought it was just the song "Let There Be Rock".

Am I missing something? Who's the other top-selling catalog band?

The only person I thought could rival The Beatles catalog was Elvis, and he was a solo artist.
