I liked this song first time I played it and it's continued to grow on me more and more.   Its one of my favs off the album, but I HATE that "I don't want to do it" line as well.  It's just sung in a stupid bloody voice.  That voice would sound at home in the Offspring song Original Prankster "You can do eet"   

The problem I see with Azoff is that he appears to be purely there for the $$'s.   He doesn't appear to care less about artistic integrity or the music.  That this album has been released with such a limp wristed effort and is still apparently not how Axl wanted it, has damaged both Axl and to a lesser extent the GN'R name (I know some people will say Axl has manged to do plenty of damage to the GN'R name all by himself).  But this release campaign has done nothing to improve eithers image.

Some would argue this is exactly what Azoff wanted - to ensure the album flops as quickly as possible to hasten a reunion and his mega payday.

So what's wrong with that if he manages to pull the reunion off??  Well for me, the interest in a reunion comes with the expectation of new music.  If it's just a reunion for purely $$'s where the "personalities" are being managed with this guy in his own dressing room and that guy flying separate to everyone else and nobody talking to each other except when onstage, I really don't have much interest in it.  But if they get back together with the view of writing new music (like a real band) with some of that original chemistry and passion, then that is of much more interest to me. 

Sadly I see Azoff driving this towards a reunion goal of wringing as much $$'s out of this thing before it crashes and burns, rather than returning the GN'R name to the top by wringing as many new kickass tunes out of them as possible!  He prefers the sound of the cash register to the sound of the artist and creativity.

Catcher has really grown on me and has been playing in quite heavy rotation in my car.  I agree there is something still "not quite right" but I can't put my finger on it.  Regardless as somone else said I think the song is pretty strong so it's still sounds good.

I always liked ITW, and I like this new version better.  Although just before the solo where there is the tinny sounding drums - there used to be a guitar over the top but it's barely audible now.  I kinda liked hearing that in the old version, but aside from that I prefer the new one.

You're obviously not up to speed on your GN'R history.  GW don't say anything, Erin on the other hand... 

(well that was the rumour at the time - google it and you can find shit on it).
