#8771 Re: Guns N' Roses » GNR's 'Democracy' To Be Retail Exclusive? » 925 weeks ago
^ Agreed...although i'll be surprised if there isn't some 'adult' concepts on this album.
#8772 Re: Guns N' Roses » MSL's GnRSource interview transcript » 925 weeks ago
Yeah no way they use a demo in a feature film with Arnie. I guess maybe he ment he rushed finishing it - which given how long we've waited for the rest of the album - is kinda possible.
#8773 Re: Guns N' Roses » Song #2 (Prostitute) is the biggest gun of all IMO » 926 weeks ago
I haven't read this read, so I don't know where it's at currently, but to answer the original question.........IMO, 'Madagascar' was supposed to be the "big gun". In my totally picky opinion, that song is actually really great at it's core, like it nicely flows(unlike all the others), but suffers from some overproduction.
Maddy is a truely beautiful song...not sure it was ment as a surprise though as it was played live very early on...

I find it bizarre how every time there's a leak, Slash gets brought up. What makes it funny is half this shit wouldn't be out of place on UYI II. So if people wanting Slash back are gonna complain about these tracks, they should also be complaining about the quality of UYI II in our TWAT section.
You know I love you james 
But that was kinda the guys point...at least have the songs are like UYI songs - but are like those songs with LESS inspired solos. They don't bitch about the songs in TWAT because those solos had more atristic value. If Estranged had never been made, then leaked in 2006 without the distinctive guitar lines - it would be getting the same mixed reviews that Song #2 gets - and I think that was the point - great basis for a song - great vocals - musically on the way there - but not at that special place yet.
I don't denay that for every leak where slash would have shined - eg the UYI style songs like Maddy, Blues, Twat - there are leaks where I can't imagine slash would have added a lot to it - eg Rhiah, OMG, Shackler (if thats what the newest song we have is). So it's not a case of saying Slash has to be in GNR or on every track - its just when Axl makes tracks in the style of the ones he has done before - like NR and like Estranged - which is what songs like TWAT and #2 are - then some comparision is enevitable.
When he does more industrial stuff like Shackler...then i'm happy with things the way they are.
I've heard post GNR Slash. Not impressed. Not trying to belittle him, but some of us don't feel like living in 1987, and the people who don't want to live in 1987 shouldn't be crucified.
Yeah that's cool. I mean I'm impressed with post GNR slash - something like that "Street Child" colaboration is beautiful the way the guitar cries - and snakepit #1 was awesome. so we'll have to agree to disagree on post GNR slash. But its not so much that we want him in every song - I don't think anyone wants him playing on the industrial stuff - its only when Axl pulls out a classic ballad that his absence is obvious.
When i said CD is lacking i ment there is room for improvment in some of the guitar parts of SOME of the songs. Likewise I think the 100 or so songs slash has released since GNR have room for improvment in some of the vocals and so on

It's not that it's his "comfort zone" its that it's his specality. If U2 the Edge and the rest of U2 started to write metal songs that required a satan-growl - how would bono fit in? You use bono when you want the lead vocals to be "singing" - you use slash when you want to inject some blues soul into the music.
The reason people call for slash back is that SOME of the leaks are lacking that "something" - it doesn't have to be slash himself - but musically - in terms of the guitar - while theres some fancy playing - in places they're left artistically wanting. The music isn't on par with what axl does in the songs. And that's what people sence.
#8776 Re: Management » hey james, would you cave? » 926 weeks ago
Is it possible SR is the only finished, recent version of anything to leak?
yeah...didn't bumble say that the other songs are versions from pre-him. So i'm guessing they can live with outdated, unmastered versions of songs leaking when they don't have a firm release date. SR on the other hand is a final product...now leaked just a month before it was going to come out to much fanfare...
Huge difference

Got some spam today:
"Check out Rainn Wilson's Book Chat with Slash Live on itunes now!"
http://ax.phobos.apple.com.edgesuite.ne … plash_r1c1
With that link - it said it was about a movie comming out called " the rocker".
Unfortunately the link won't work from outside the usa...its not on itunes Australia 
So can someone tell me if it is Slash and if its any good?
#8778 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Chicken Dinner" Shackler's Revenge Leak » 926 weeks ago
All I know is, THis song kicks the living shit out of anything else out right now. It is mean and has HUGE balls.
Fuck yeah I've been listening to it on repeat!
#8779 Re: Management » hey james, would you cave? » 926 weeks ago
Yeah...i guess I might seem like a hypocrite. Again..as a fan I'll buy the record..and i'm eager to hear anything including leaks as soon as possible. So in business terms, its harmless to people like me, even if we are downloading motherfuckers as well!
But i'm just saying leaking 9 demos - that BBF said are unfinished is a whole different story to leaking the finalised first single a month before its publicly flaunted debut in an exclusive video game deal. I'm just saying MSL has definately crossed a different line in relation to his "Part 2" - and it can't shock anyone that the corporates consider it against the band's interests.
I'll agree that this site is awesome for allowing free speach, no bullshit and not lying to its fan base. And i'll also agree that GNR as a whole would be far better to positively engage with their fanbase more often. I'm just saying at the same time - i can understand how they'd be pissed about this happening.
#8780 Re: Management » hey james, would you cave? » 926 weeks ago
Another thing you should consider is that only us hardcore forum fans have really heard it. I don't think that Rock Band 2 fans are really waiting for a new GN'R track.
True
But then its obvious that there was some business deal involved. I mean as far as we know - the song is currently exclusive to rockband - and the rockband people were doing a lot of PR about how cool it is that the new game features the first new track from CD and so on. So they won't enjoy this happening. Even though fans get the song sooner and are stoked. I'm just saying business dudes will be PISSED OFF big time by this.
You know like if it wasn't a big deal that the song was in the game - they wouldn't have mentioned it in that tv show thing with the 3 people from the game company - they wouldn't have given out press releases promoting the new song in the game - and they wouldn't have made retractions about the utube video...they obviously give a shit is all i'm saying
