I still think that TWAT is great and the studio track CD rocks and find a lot of great parts in IRS, The Blues (live, of course), Better, and some in Madagascar, and these songs are better than a lot off UYI... but not better than the better half of UYI. And the other songs, like Song 2, If The World, Riyadh, Shackler, Silkworms... these are really bad and uninspired tracks in my opinion. I don't wanna hear them.
I do some test time to time. The result is: rocker guys do like Chinese Democracy and do not care bout the other songs, or think those suck. Girls like TWAT and The Blues. Everyone I asked said that If The World, Shackler, Song 2 were horrible. Some liked Riyadh, but some hated even Better.

So Welcome to the jungle is GN'R's I Wanna Hold Your Hand and The Blues is Dig a Pony, right? While I see how Beatles got better over the years (7 or 8 years), I don't see the pattern, since IMO GN'R was better in 1987-1993. Good interview btw, thanks for posting.

I'm a journalist at a Hungarian television's News. I've been here for almost two years. Getting a bit boring, and I'd change, but there aren't too many possibilities.
#2535 Re: Guns N' Roses » First single is If The World? (theory) » 945 weeks ago
I think they mean the album. Look at the Shackler and If The World articles. Either the writers make up that the songs are from the "forthcoming album, Chinese Democracy" or they did some research and were told the tunes will be there.
#2536 Re: Guns N' Roses » First single is If The World? (theory) » 945 weeks ago
When the songs mentioned they always add "from Chinese Democracy".

And that was ONLY because of Axl. That's been stated in countless interviews over the years by band members, and people close to the band.
Axl was the one pushing for another direction, and the rest of the band wanting to stick with the "tried and true" sound. Their initial reaction to songs like Rain & Estranged was utter disgust.
A band consists some members. They make the music, the sound etc. Some can have "vision" while they can't write a single song. Without Slash being a genius, Axl's November Rain would be the most boring song of music history. Some parts are still close to that. Anyway, Slash wrote Coma, didn't he? That's not AFD rehash. Neither Locomotive nor Civil War. I can list his solo career, too: he played in way more styles than on the GN'R records (not counting the guest appearances). Without Axl GN'R would have sucked. Without Slash GN'R would have sucked. Not that sure about the others.

I think having the song in the Di Caprio movie implies that it will be the first single off CD. Furthermore, it's one of the three tracks the management played for BestBuy, among the title track and Axl's favourite song. On the other hand... I think it'd be a disaster. The lyrics are so cheesy that old-GN'R fans will run away and the music... well, boring for me. My two cents

So they think that If The World is a great track? Holy shit.

I.R.S. would make more sense than If The World.
