Interesting...that chorus definitely has potential for something!

All these Nin wannabe excursions are prime material for a solo album.

I think I really like this. Although the word macdaddy is cringeworthy, it's a catchy song.

This and Hardschool are definitely the two catchiest songs from the leaks so far. I could see Eye On You having real hit potential, if GN'R were to take it and work it up. It needs verse lyrics and a solo, obviously. And Axl needs to be restrained from sticking a two-minute ambient intro on there, or suddenly whacking in a jazz bridge section in 7/8 time signature from another song idea he has floating around.

Actually, y'know what would be really cool – especially in a live setting? If Axl just sang the "mack daddy" bit and someone else took on the lead vocal for the verses, 14 Years style. Get Duff or Melissa to do it.

This is basically Blood In The Water, but good. My first thought was "this must be what Shaq rapped on." Basically Axl just screwing around with loops. That chorus is pure James Bond. The black James Bond.

This is one of the songs I've heard way way back.

This demo, though, is way in its infancy. I'd bet the "ay ayyy ayaaaaay ay" are just mark ups to add lyrics later.

I was almost as a big Nine Inch Nails fan as a gn'r fan growing up.

State of Grace is the only one that sounds like a Nine Inch Nails track from back then (that we've heard).

I like Eye on You. Think it could have been turned into something. Sounds again like it's of it's era.

These tracks are so 1990's I get a little deja vu hearing some. Could easily imagine ioy on a ost of a late 90's film during end credits.

^This. First one I've heard where I actually think a song sounds like NIN in anyway. Interested to hear more like it.

I'm pretty sure an industry mate of his played some tracks for him a few years back.
