He certainly doesn't sing Prostitute. That doesn't mean it's not the song Prostitute, I'm starting to think it is, but the word prostitute isn't sung during the song.

I can't believe how divided people are on these new tracks. Track 2 is light years ahead of ITW and Rhiad, it was my favourite of the 3 when I first heard them and gets better upon each listen. I find ITW very bland and just weird to be honest, it's the Just Another Sunday of the CD sessions imo. Rhiad's ok, nothing special but I could live with it being on the album.
As for the older leaks, there's very little differences, nothing that really elevates a song to a new level, a tweak here and there doesn't drastically change much. There's still do much damn synth in Better, it needs to be toned down and the guitars turned up and you've got a hit. General rock fans will pan it if it comes out ruined by fart sounds and bubbles.

I don't know what his contributions are going to be. I am only able to base my opinion on what he has played live in replacement of BH, and its inferior to what we've heard on the leaks.
His biggest change was the CD solo, and I see no improvement whatsoever.
I've said it before but comparing BH's studio work to Rons live playing isn't a fair comparison. I know what's coming next 'BH never fucks up live, he's as good live as in the studio', which I somewhat disagree with, I've got BH stuff and then listened to the same songs live and I don't think they're as good. They aren't bad by any stretch don't get me wrong but in every case the studio version is superior.
The same criticism your levelling at Ron could also be directed at Robin, if we're talking inferior replication in a live setting then Robin's attempts at Slash's parts are at times embarrassing, and that's 9 times out of 10 much less complex guitar work than Ron has to try and replicate.

Only just seen this, glad to hear your ok

The songs dont need any "BBF swagger". I really hope Axl has taken a fresh listen to the tracks in the vault, and realizes his vision years ago does not need to be erased.
If the material needed swagger, it would have been added long before BBF entered the picture.
I don't see why all the anxiety at having Ron on the tracks, he's one of the best guitarists in the world, Axl won't keep him on the track if his contributions are as rubbish as your making out there going to be.

This song could be Prostitute, but he clearly does NOT sing Prostitute in the lyrics. It sounds more like 'to bring me down' or 'to burn me down', it sounds nothing like the word prostitute.
This song is growing on me with each listen, it's fast becoming my favourite leak.
#1577 Re: Guns N' Roses » Riyadh and the Bedouins leak » 934 weeks ago
I still don't really like this track, the live version was messy and this is just that mess with production, we should give kudos to the band they actually played it pretty well live! I'll give it more listens though, see if it's a grower.
#1578 Re: Guns N' Roses » If the World leak » 934 weeks ago
This is growing on me, first listen I hated it but it improves over time. I think the vocals are great. The porn/lounge music comments are all fair though it does sound like that, it reminds me of the GTA 4 theme music too. We know BH used porn in the studio as inspiration...hmmm.
#1579 Re: Guns N' Roses » Song #2 (Unknown Title) » 934 weeks ago
I like this track most of the 3 new ones. If it's a new unheard of track I'm happy, if it's Prostitute then it's a massive anti climax. Unfortunately I fear it is Prostitute, the fire and ice description I would say fits it well imo, someone once described it as November Rain meets Nightrain, which I think could also fit this song (ish).
Put aside the possibility that this is the song we've all been waiting for and I like it. Someone said it could be a James Bond theme song and I thought exactly the same thing. It reminds me of Linkin Park or Evanescence or something? I like it overall, but it's overshadowed by the possibility of what this track really is.

The top story on NME.com
Nine tracks from Guns N Roses' long-awaited 'Chinese Democracy' album have been leaked.
The songs, reportedly "mastered [and] finished", were leaked on a site yesterday (June 18), but have since been taken down.
Six of the tracks had been leaked in less completed states before, but three tracks have never been heard before, including 'Rhiad And The Bedouins' and 'If The World'.
Some of the songs feature the group's trademark guitar bombast, while others include piano, orchestrations and flamenco influences.
The leaked tracks are:
'Better'
'The Blues'
'Chinese Democracy'
'Madagascar'
'IRS'
'There Was A Time'
'Rhiad And The Bedouins'
'If The World'
'[Untitled]'
'Chinese Democracy' has been in the making since 1994, and has so far cost over $13 million to make.
Only Axl Rose remains from the band's original line-up.
