What's also fitting is they mocked Axl back then for wanting to do a grunge or industrial record....
And look what's waiting for them in the vault...
That's pretty funny and ironic.
Oh My God and State of Grace could be in play.
I think Oh My God would benefit from Slash and Duff. I remember liking the lyrics, especially the chorus, but the music just wasn't that interesting. It was a mess actually. It was like in 1999 so the few times I heard it was when I went to a Tower Records and they had the End of Days soundtrack on one of those listening stations.

It would be funny if great songs like Perhaps were left off because they don’t fit his vision or whatever.
I think that wouldn't happen because Perhaps is maybe closest to a mainstream hit or at least one of the few songs that might match the desciption.

I'm now giving him a pass for this.
He has a bunch of finished songs in his vault.
Vocal takes in your 30s-40s or vocal takes when you're approaching 60?
The less new work he has to do, the more likely it will get released.
I don't want any more delays....
Yup. Big picture here: leads to an album finally being released. Those things are a minor blip.
I do think it's kinda ironic since they picked Absurd as a single. Given that everything that has happened with GNR post 95 could be described as Absurd. It's quite fitting actually.
#554 Re: Guns N' Roses » Absurd » 274 weeks ago
He was sitting on some killer material....an albums worth of scorchers. Any talk the past five years of putting an album out would've revolved around the Chinese elephant in the room.
I've been listening to the leaks alot lately and the instrumental stuff that he never did anything with, up until now, like Soul Monster and Oklahoma grow on you. I'm excited to see what Slash and Duff can do with this.
Oh, have I entered some bizarro world where Guns N' Roses is now releasing music via download?

I think a potential problem that AEW may have an issue with down the line is roster bloat, especially if you keep on adding ex WWE guys.
Beautiful Bobby Eaton died today. I never caught most of his heydey in the 80s but he was one of those solid pro wrestlers that put on a great match every time I watched WCW in the 90s.

Then you've got literal mountains of live footage they never did anything with....
Maybe we will finally see that Perfect Crime (I think that's the name) documentary or whatever it was that was filmed during the Illusions tour.
#557 Re: Guns N' Roses » Will GNR release new music in 2021? » 274 weeks ago
Seen some folk hoping to hear something new that isn't Hardschool but to be honest until we see a setlist emerge with other alts then I really doubt it. Not sure they've played any song since the reunion that didn't have a video graphic associated with it so any performance seems premeditated typically.
Another question is: how many other songs in the vault do they have that are mainstream and have broad appeal?

If we can’t force people to get the vaccines then let them roll the dice with their consequences. It’s time to move on. The defiant will be defiant…the longer we have this debate, the more power they get. The longer we have mask mandates, the more fired up they get. The Dems will be on the losing side of this if they persist.
It should not be politcal at all. I'd like to think that most people would get the shots because they want their community and cities to go back to normal and to make sure that this doesn't spread and affect those closest to them. But that's apparently too much to ask for a large segment of the population.
It only gets "real" for these people if they catch it, then they go into the I should have gotten the vax sob story.
#559 Re: Guns N' Roses » Absurd » 275 weeks ago
I know I come off as negative a lot of time, but I really hope they take advantage of this and release an album. And has Lofton has said, provides a nice booked (in terms of an album) for their career. It's been too long. I want them to have another moment where they are near the top (or whatever would constitute that in the present).

There were a lot of antoi-vaxxers to begin with, so it's not so much political. A lot of people are afraid of how quickly it was developed. Some people just don't like shots.
But most people have had multiple vaccines (measles, chicken pox etc..) so I never really got the anti-vax part of that argument AT ALL. And this thing has been out since December. There's more than enough data to indicate that yes you should get yourself vaccinated. I mean, if you're unvaccinated NOW, that's on you and no one else.
