Listening to the cellphone clip again, now that I know what I am listening to and can hear the lyrics, it is a shame we never got to hear that version.

This version is fine but as much as Slash's contributions sound fine, the song clearly was not originally going for a blues rock guitar sound as part of it and what can be heard on that cellphone clip sounds much better.

I’m clearly in the minority here, but I think Scraped is not only the worst song on CD, but possibly the worst song in the entire GN’R catalog.

Just terrible cut and paste auto tuned vocals that sound absolutely rubbish. Maybe I should give it another chance to try and hear the instrumentals underneath, but my god, it’s hard to get past those vocals.

I agee with you, its IMO by far the worst GNR song ever made. If you listen to the instrumentals underneath you will hate it even more bc like I said even the guitar parts and cut and pasted together.

Get In The Ring is far and away the most embarrassing GNR song to date….awful in every way

people died without ever listening to what could have been released when they were alive.

Absolutely. I immediately thought of this when listening to both tracks that first day...how old forum friends like Tommie, Robman, EFISH, and God knows who else had waited years just praying to hear a clip of one of these big guns but died before getting the chance.

It makes me despise the hoarding crap a hell of a lot more than I used to. How many extra years do these people need to get off on having something other fans don't? Why wasn't 10-15 years enough? Some have had it longer. Is there some magic number of years where peak orgasm is reached?

Brodie/Live Free is currently in a coffin with his hoard.

Here is the thing, hearing some of these songs it makes you wonder if the reason they have not leaked is bc they are not very good and the haorders dont want to give that away so they can keep making money off of them.

Its bad enough they hoard these songs but its even worse they sell them.

Have any of the so called big guns ever been that great?
This I love was rubbish.
Prostitute was average at best
The General is think is terrible overall.

No offense to those involved in that discussion...I love you all....but it's time to move on from that. No one is gonna budge from their position. No need for the insults either.

Is Claude still MIA? I've been gone for a couple days. Is he going to be surprised when he comes back.

Sent Bri an email. He's been gone since Hard School.
