yeah I mean through the eyes of current values there's consent issues anyway unless every person is fully sober, but it's unquestionably worse if he is drugging the people unwillingly too.

I agree the power was lost in the mixing. I remember that leak was drool worthy Axl sound...kinda made me go "hell yeah" but the song when you hear it overall suffers from the CD era need to automatically swap genres and shoehorn in a different feeling part.
I know there's lots of that in GNR but it always felt a little frankensteined here to me...like the middle part is actually really cool as it's own thing...just in a way never paid off the promices made by the first verse or something to me. I sorta like all these directions but need seperate songs of them or something. But then its better than I can write so i should shut up lol.
Overall aside from the album mix being bad I like the song though and I liked bumble's little touches on this one.

I think i heard a bucket version somewhere once, or something that purported to be anyways.
I like Ron's solo on this song, I think it added to the flavour. The bucket version sounded cool and atmospheric but more like cool background playing in an instrumental way not like a 12 bar solo section of a rock song would be.
The main riff with bucket's elephant noises I sometimes get a little sick off, but overall I dig the rocker vibe of this song (compared to how many ballads are on the album) and Axl's bits are cool too.

The album intro is such a pain if you use streaming services like Spotify.
I enjoy a fun atmosphere intro for when I'm doing an album front to back, but for playlists/mixtapes/random style listening then extended intros to songs are a mood killer. So I'd prefer if it was on the album but as a skippable track and you could play the song proper without it.
I agree with you that I liked Ron's parts and the new drums....but I'm not the biggest fan of the mix/master on the album we got. I noticed one of the demos that leaked last year gave the song more vibrancy and I don't think it was so much the changes in the parts but just that the whole album as it was released has a sort of muddyness to the mix.

Already announced that at the Springsteen concert, Astrazeneca people aren't allowed.
Clown world.
Yeah that's really insane.
Like the issue with the AZ vax is the saftey to the person who takes it - in that in some people it creates bloodclots - but in terms of covid prevention it's still very effective.
Will the same logic ban moderna people for being "only" 94.5% covered compared to pfizers 95.0% ????
Where does it end?
Different situation here because vaccines are in short supply - so the government chooses for us.
Like they bought enough AZ for all of us, and only fractional doses of the rest. Then they found out that they can't safely give AZ to young/middleaged people without a gamble on the clotting.
So now here it's like:
Over 50? You can have either nothing or Astrazeneca.
Over 40 but under 50? You are forbidden from having AZ. But You can have pfizer - but we've run out of first doses so hopefully you already had some or get lucky and call on a day they found some lying around.
Under 40? Wait your turn unless you already have cancer etc. If there's no pfizer to be found and you're really at high risk - you can apply for permission to have the AZ vax but it's on your own head if you get clots.
There's no J+J vax at all, and don't worry guys - we ordered some moderna...expecting it to come maybe end of 2021 or 2022....maybe y'all could like just not get covid till then k?
It's hard to imagine how they could have screwed up the roll out any harder.

I think it's more likely they'd add a 4th keys player than Dizzy quits

Despite my bitching I managed to get a second shot today.
Very happy to be on the road to getting things normal, can't really rest until the rest of my family is eligible though. But it's a happy start.

They edited it to remove the word "former" so i guess it was just a mistake.
#549 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rearranged US dates announced » 256 weeks ago
I did feel in 2019/2020 they were trending towards new material…I feel like we’ve likely regressed.
yeah that's my worry...it looked like something was kinda on the verge of happening. Hopefully it still does - who knows maybe lockdowns etc will have lit a fire under them it seems to have shaken a lot of us.
But if it regresses back to 2017...well there's nothing I can do about it of course...but TBH i dunno how much more holding pattern I can do....not that anyone should care...but just for me personally lol....I mean it's 2021...that's 20 years since Rio3....20 years with CD being the "new" album...and it's 5 years since the reunion now....I mean obviously they are going to be a 'hits' act at this point in their career - but I kinda need something to attach it to mentally....just every now and then we need a new era...like how Ac/Dc do things....but that's a different group of people at the end of the day I guess.
#550 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rearranged US dates announced » 257 weeks ago
This year is almost a little make or brake mentally for me...like if they come out and they do a 'new' song like Hardschool and things are a bit different and you could consider these the warm up shows for a new era with maybe an album to follow in a year or two I'd be right behind it....but if it's NITL tour year 6 then I'm going to struggle.
I can see not releasing a new album until the global situation is fixed, but this big break has been a perfect time for a tonal and mental shift...like really you'd hope this tour will be the start of a new era....but then....it's GNR lol...
