I am gonna say Song #2, it's got mainstream written all over it.
#222 Re: Guns N' Roses » Song #2 (Unknown Title) » 959 weeks ago
I don't really find the lyrics cheesy at all. To me their interesting and i really like the melody of the vocals...it get's stuck in my head.
It's funny how people like different things. Like i can hardly listen to Rhiad that heaps of people seem to like...but I really love this one.
Funny because I was just talking to James on IM about Ryhiad and I was telling him how I can't listen to that song because the ahhh ahhh's are like chalk on a chalk board to me. I have to listen more to the music then the vocals on that.

Wow, 11 years old and taking her life, that is really sad. I wish kids/teens knew at that the school bullshit passes. I also wish kids weren't cruel to each other but it's been that way for a long, long time. I hate the peer pressure thing and the bullying thing but as much as schools try to stop it and hopefully parents are taking steps to stop there kids from being a bully, it still happens. Although most kids that are really bad bullies are learning from their parents in most cases.

A lot of his lyrics have an element of cheese, though, James. Especially in the new songs. The Blues, and TWAT specifically. But it still works.
I will bet anything this song is in deed Prostitute. He says it clearly in the outro, and Prosecute myself makes no damn sense with the lyrics... Or at least how I'm hearing them. I remember someone, I think Paul Buckmeister but I might be wrong, said that Prostitute didn't really blow him away and he couldn't understand why Axl was toiling away on it the most. Maybe it's denial, but I think a lot of people built this song up really big in their minds and the version in their heads sounded a lot different than the reality. It's no Welcome To The Jungle mixed with Novemeber Rain that I was expecting, but it sounds like "Fire And Ice" to me. This is just speculation on my part that it is Prostitute, but I am pretty much 100% sure in my mind that it is.
The song is amazing, though. One of my favorites of all the new songs.
I guess there is a handful of us that do really like this song. I don't know something about it I really enjoy.
I can understand how it can be viewed as a cheesy song but I like that it's different and it very well could be and probably is Prostitute.

I never thought it was possible to have my feel swell so bad that my shoes don't fit. 
#226 Re: Guns N' Roses » Song #2 (Unknown Title) » 959 weeks ago
I just gave this one an old-school blast in my car as I went to the liquor store. I also believe it's Prostitute, but I guess I'm in the minority, along with Bono, because I think this is one of the best leaks we've ever gotten. In my top 3 or 4. I always catch myself humming this one after it's over, hours later. It's funny, this could be one of the more "simple" songs of the bunch. There isn't layers upon layers of crap on it, yet most of y'all don't like it, even though that's the main complaint about the others.
I did the same, I blasted this song tonight in my car and I really, really dig this song. As much as I enjoy the other songs with alot of synth and all that, I like this one because it's simple, took the words right out of my mouth to a tee.
#227 Re: Guns N' Roses » Questions about the leaks. » 959 weeks ago
I kinda like this evolution of things. It's great to see how a song evolves thru time and then get a final version to listen to. Even though it's the same song it's still different. It's like watching a movie with 3-4 different endings.
That is very true I was just thinking this tonight on my way home, I was listening to them in my car and with Maddy I defintely made a mental note to myself how this version is so much better then the 2007 version and how you can see how all the versions get a bit better each time we hear one.

Are you talking about the intro before NR. I don't quite hear it tho, it sounds similar.
Burning Hills, thanks for checking anyway.

All I can say is WOW... Song #2 the most. It could be a killer song for a James Bond film.
The older songs, the thing that strikes me as "new" about them is that Axl has tinkered them to death. If these were the changes that were holding up the album all these years I'm completely dumbfounded. But if this was the first time I was hearing them I'd be blown away.
There is no way these are the finished versions. These are all demos as far as I can tell. Especialy if Andy Wallace is mixing them. No Way they're mixed and mastered.
I have to agree about Song #2, I really do dig this song.
