That could be, but both songs being registered on ASCAP recently hints at something beyond just a coincidence.

Admittedly none of this makes much sense so it's hard to predict what it means, if anything. Could merely be some fuck up in the GN'R camp.

Shotgun Blues lyrics are the most immature.

Get in the Ring is funny in an adolescent way.

Me too, but that's not saying much. Never really gave it a chance.

While not a great album it does have some great songs. At least 3 would go into any PF playlist. I'll take it.

I'm turning 40 in 4 days and I notice a distinct change in my musical taste. When I was 15-20, bands like Faith No More and Rage Against the Machine were the shit. I turned on a few of their albums yesterday and hated it. The melodies and the riffs are still the same, still good, but for some obscure reason I now hate it. The best reason I could think of was that a guy like Mike Patton, while very talented, is not really an artist the way I see it. His solo work for example is mostly nonsense. Doing weird shit just to do it, like he has no musical compass. Good band, but perhaps not a real band. And I want real bands. It's like they had me fooled for all these years.

With other bands like GN'R and Pink Floyd the opposite has happened. I like their stuff more now. Used to be I thought Move To The City was a mediocre song, now I love it. Same with much of Final Cut etc.

Pink Floyd - Final Cut

Underrated effort. There are some really good songs on this album. Being a continuation of the Wall does hurt it. Roger should have built something around songs like "Not Now John" instead, but on the other hand then you lose "Your Possible Pasts" which is the best song on the album. Very Wall'ish though.

So far the only big gun that is not a major disappointment. Nothing can live up to hype, but this is a great song. On average I think the unreleased tracks are better than what we got on CD. What a disaster that album was.
