Yeah, Axl called us downloading motherfuckers.

Maybe I'm just a wet blanket, but none of these excite me.  When Better leaked in 2005/2006 with TWAT, I listened to that shit on loop for days.  I LOVED those songs.  But honesty, I've listened to these 3 (I've heard the live version of silkworms many times, but I'll still count it as new) songs one time each and was done with them.  I think it's clear why these didn't make CD.  Though I'd take Hard School over Scraped or Riad.

You're a wet blanket.

These are obviously demos and nowhere close to where the 06 demos were in development. They still have Josh on drums for godsakes. I'm pretty stoked to see what Slash and Duff can do with Hardschool and Atlas. Especially if they get someone like Dave Jerden or Brendan O'Brien producing.

Terrible really. What a disappointment.

My thoughts too. Elusive songs get talked up by hoarders, but really they are just demos and rough sketches. Certainly nothing 'epic' about this.

Yeah it's interesting, and yeah I wanna hear it. But don't believe the hype. There's a reason these haven't been released by the band, and they ain't holding back any big guns, its just demos 'n sketches.
