Have a blast! Give us a recap when you’re done!
Imagine if you get “The General”!
No The General fuck this band!!!
Jk. Show was amazing. They’ll always get my money because 1) they are my favorite band and 2) it’s a night away from the wife and kids!!
I do regret shelling out face value for the tickets because they could have been had for a song day of the show. I mentioned I was impressed by the crowd and I still am. After the packed house in Fenway in 21, I was worried it would be a little depressing to look around and see tranches of emptiness. That wasn’t the case. Pit was less crowded which was an absolute treat.
As for the band, I sense they genuinely enjoy playing with each other, and the new music definitely helps. Like, they’re finally back to being a band and not just feeling each other out to make sure it doesn’t go off the rails like much of the NITL tour felt like. It was great to see.
Axl’s vocals live are night and day from cell phone recordings. It is in no way a deterrent from the live performances. Great show.

Shouldn’t we temper our expectations because it’s a b-side?

Do people think Bucket contributed more to the band and album than Robin? Don’t get me wrong, Bucket on TWAT is phenomenal. But I always viewed bucket as a gimmick who provided some really technically driven solos that I assumed were based on Finck’s guitar leads.
But I’ll take Robin’s solo on Better any day of the week as more soulful and true to the blues sound that’s at the core of the GN’R sound.
I see your point but I believe Bucket could have easily been the lead guitarist with no Robin. Meaning, the SOD solo goes, TIL, that Better solo etc. It would also uncomplicate things for fans. One lead guy…like the band always had.

I’m actually interested in 2004. That’s when they were planning more shows and Bucket quit. I wonder how close the album was at that time because, imo, I think Axl spent the next 2 years trying to get Bucket back. And perhaps even after Ron was in the band.
Contraband came out 04 right? I’m sure Axl viewed that as his opportunity to compete but he lost the ONLY guitarist who could viably have the cachet to to keep GnR legitimate.

I like the whole track, not blown away by the solo or the edit at the start of the solo, but on the whole it sounds better than Absurd or Hardskool to me. I was surprised to find i like the drumming more than the demo too
Yeah, I think the additions were good overall
The Robin solo part was way overblown by our community. Finally got to hear it today.
I do find it funny that Slash’s contributions are *exactly* how Ron contributed to CD. Add a little lick to the chord progression to blues it up a little and take the solo.
Still like the song.

Duff played it second song in on his show. You’ll probably be able to listen to it on demand after his show is done in the SXM app.
After the song he talked about it a little bit with his wife. Mentioned the song “has a lot of great performances” which I think is his way of saying 45 people play on it. They also joked about the TouchTunes leak. Absolutely nothing earthshattering.

They must have negotiated a deal with iHeart for the world premiere/exclusive. The band has previously been pretty tight with Sirius…I imagine Sirius must have been outbid. Probably explains how the dj’s knew about the release a couple weeks out and spoke about it on the air.
They've been playing it on octane weirdly enough
Oh wow sneaking it in between shit like Skillet. Don’t recall them playing Absurd/Hard Skool. Do recall them playing Chinese tracks when it came it out though.

This reminds me of Jarmo circa 2004-6...
Get back on topic!!!
He was strict on that shit for awhile.
If that forum design had the option of banning people from specific threads(some do now)...he woulda used it. Guaranteed.
Discussions naturally flowing in different directions never really bothered me...they usually come back around full circle... although this is coming from someone who can shoehorn Cornell into any discussion.
I agree. Who cares as long as there is activity on the forums? In between tours we can go 2 or 3 weeks without a single post, let alone topic, in the main GnR chat. And like James said, almost always gets back on topic anyway.
