This had nothing to do with Biden. If you think anything is calmer under this guy then I don’t know what to say.

Biden's biggest job was to calm us all the fuck down. That's a big job.
And the dude failed big time lol

I don’t agree with term limits either. It should be up to the voter — and I think there are way more unqualified people in government who are relatively young than older members. If the voter wants them out, vote.
I honestly don’t see Biden calming anything down. If anything, he’s worse. Just as big of a liar. Trump was about antagonizing the press, Biden has fully pushed progressive social policies, like on the military (we have the lowest enlistment numbers in history under Biden) and continues to tout the “white supremacy” boogie man while ignoring hate crimes have risen against Jews and Asians by black perpetrators, but he doesn’t have the balls to admit it. He can’t take responsibility for anything. There’s been no move to improve healthcare, immigration, or crime, he takes credit for economic growth that’s actually just a Covid rebound — though any president would do that. I’ll always believe he fucked up the Afghanistan withdrawal just so he could make is 9/11 speech.
Biden, imo, is the worst president of my lifetime. This isn’t an endorsement for Trump, btw
EDIT: I’m wrong here, George W. Bush was the worst. Nothing could ever top the horror of the Iraq War

The issue with the mix is pasting things into the tracks post (Andy Wallace) mix. And yeah, Bumble’s playing just didn’t fit. Look at Perhaps and how Robin’s opening guitar is left in before Slash begins his solo. Whose idea do you think that was? Not Caram’s.
This is all on Axl.
I don’t get Axl being a perfectionist with CD and then he just shoved Ron onto the album like that… Was it out of spite against Bucket? Insecurity? Pride? He heard what we heard and did it anyway

James wrote:Hadn't exactly thought of it this way before but the post CD song releases...Absurd, Hard School, and Perhaps...are not as good as the songs from CD. If we split hairs, better than Scraped and Shackler I suppose. Not really album worthy though...good album worthy anyways.
Remember his 2002 comment about the album potentially being 18 tracks and 10 B sides? These three recent releases would belong in that group of 10.
Slightly OT, but which CD songs (include any version you want) would qualify as being worthy of being on a good album? I got maybe 6-7 songs. I might stick Perhaps into that group but that's it. I've never really cared for Absurd and Hard School is a b side.
It’s way too hard to guess without finished tracks. Not sure what other Bucket science lab concoctions Axl created like Shacklers either. Tonto might be another Frankenstein creation. Had they saved Catcher and Sorry for album 2 it would definitely have been a darker album

I always thought the ten extra tracks were instrumentals and b sides.

Kind of lame. A symphonic tribute to the riff from Black Sabbath with Axl's vocal overdubbed 60 times to the point of sounding like nothing for something between 4-7 minutes. I'm not so sure that's "Good News".
That’s like from a 30 second cellphone clip, it’s not an actual representation of the song. I’m actually most impressed with how he cleaned up the opening orchestration which is all we ever had of the general. If anything it should put to rest that the song is industrial, doesn’t have lyrics or is State of Grace. There’s a lot of potential there.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Oklahoma instrumental because that was def not what I imagined

Probably written by the same person that wrote that Perhaps was written this year by Slash and Duff. The mega link i left of the mix of The General yesterday has been flagged and pulled already. So someone is scouring for links and pulling them, i'd expect something on The General either this friday or next.
Yeah we have to use DMs for that. There’s a certain forum clown who reports everything on “behalf” of the band
