#541 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tracks on the album better than the Rough Mixes » 299 weeks ago
It's a fair post & I'll agree with it. I don't get too into the demos vs album stuff much, I dunno, some of the songs themselves are just, mehh. I felt IRS & TWAT needed to be worked on to be more 'radio friendly' 'pop', not saying they would be radio songs, but to have achieved a more cohesive album. Those could've used tinkering (ex. TWAT vocals, bridge/chorus). And, I know it was a main feature to the song, but I'd have preferred Madagascar without the samples. It was done for UYI, and just feels like a throwback. Esp when half of it was Cool Hand Luke again. Its 90 seconds that fills up basically the last 2 1/2 minutes.

Yeah, those 3 are awful. Take them out, add in Hard School & Going Down, you're going somewhere. I get it they probably didn't fit, but redo The Blues to more piano rock, and CITR to a better produced song, as well as 1 or 2 more tweaked to more rock friendly, and its a better album. Swap in 1 more track with another and its a better album.
I agree those 3 bring it down, 2 or 3 more keep it irrelevant. We're down to about 5 good songs, some of which probably still needed to be redone.

Buzzsaw the death rate is back up on the rise. From 600ish a day in June/July we're now over 1,000 day again average, and on the rise. It would make sense that it continues into the fall as the weather gets colder in many areas, especially come Nov/Dec.

I think ABC had the first post-VP poll yesterday and showed Biden up like 12%. It's a postbump, but yeah was like 53-41. National poll tho. I agree tho trumps likely going to start spending money in TX etc. Hard to believe TX could be a race. Hopefully they can get moscow mitch outta there.
I dunno, if Covid gets much worse, which its hard to believe it won't, this things just going to become a wreck. Hard to see trump staying involved if mid-september its looking out of reach. Even then there's a month & a half left.

^^ I had to look it up, Shacklers. I had to youtube the song to remember it. Guess what? You're friends are right.
Alot of the album does seem fairly terrible. Throwaway 1999-2003ish tracks.

Honest question, where do you feel the spread of Covid is as it relates to say cigarette smoke? For instance, cigarette smoke travels what, maybe 20 feet? Lingers in a room for minutes?
Do you sorta feel it travels close to that amount?

Hadn't heard but probably a temporary pull & re-org. With 2 weeks of DNC & RNC will likely reconvene around Labor Day to see what states are in play & which ones to keep money in.
#548 Re: The Sunset Strip » Most Recent Movie You've Seen » 300 weeks ago
lol wow forgot about that movie. It definitely didn't receive much support after its first weekend or two it seems. Was that out before Covid? Ashame its bad, she was really good in Suicide Squad. The movie sucked but she was a bit of a bright spot
#549 Re: The Sunset Strip » Who should've been bigger? » 300 weeks ago
I could see how that could sway your thoughts, she becomes more reachable whereas Madonna was in a different stratosphere. But that's like saying Possum Kingdom or SR-71 responded to you via email or Myspace whereas Pearl Jam or Green Day didn't have time for you. Kinda like that.
imho at least.

Trump hasn't gotten to all of your heads. You can say he's terrible without going off the deep end... But if you're not going off the deep end You're accused of being a Trumper. I'm going to hold Biden to the same standard I do Trump. Will you guys?
I mean, Biden's encouraging all to wear a mask & didn't congratulate Georgia for reopening in April.
I feel that's a fair example of two methods of handling it.
