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.

Your obsession with Robin Finck is out of hand. We get it, you don’t like Slash, and you love Finck. Still doesn’t mean he’s playing on any of these songs.

Hopefully this puts an end to those still insisting “that is F iNcK playing on The General, not $la$h”

if only GNR was like pearl jam
I love Pearl Jam, and while I find their first few albums untouchable, they kinda lost me over the years in the direction they went into. I just found it a little uninspiring.
Still a great live act though.

I remain unconvinced these are newer versions with Slash and Duff - sounds distinctly nu-guns to me
No way. There are very distinct Slash licks in both these songs, and Robin doesn’t play in that style of at all.
That said, I’m still convinced that the outro of Monsters actually melds from Slash’s lead guitar, into some of Robin’s - the last 10-15 seconds of the track. It sounds like some of the stuff that Robin plays in Street of Dreams.

I swear the ending outro lead guitar of Monsters is Finck. The more I listen, the more it sounds like his style, than Slash’s.

I can’t get them to open on my phone either. So keen to hear both songs!

GN’R are consistent with one thing…
Consistently fucking things up!

Nothing beats the 2004-2008 forum era
.. ( or who knows maybe there will be more leaks or actual album releases)
Even if the rest of the vault leaked, it could never come close to how amazing that period was.
2005 was the peak of GNR forums...kinda funny since it was a dead year band wise. Each main forum had thousands of active members.
2006 was massive too. The decline started quickly.
The 2005 community deserved the Village Leaks and the 2006 community deserved the skwerl leak.
HTGTH was the best site on the entire net in the early-mid 2000s. It was so massive it had hundreds of active users who weren't even GNR fans.
Yep. Pretty much all of this.
Why the band didn’t release the album in 2006 when they had such great momentum going, I’ll never understand.
And yeah, HTGTH was THE forum if you were a GN’R fan. That is until Jarmo turned completely anti Slash, and tried to hide discussions about him away in sub forums. Hell, even discussions about GN’R and CD were being neutered and removed if you said the wrong thing…
Most of all, its so bizarre to me that Slash is back and Jarmo is still in the GN’R inner circle. If I was Jarmo I’d be embarrassed to be there after talking so much shit about him for years.
