Eddie Van Halen died. We may get a Van Halen song.
Who else died this past year?
maybe add in a few UYI songs but that is about it. 90% of it wont change IMO
And I doubt they play hard school. And even based on that sound check clip do we really want to hear axl and slash butcher it?
I think Slash's Hardschool is way better than the demo. It really sounds like a modern You Could Be Mine type rocker. On the other hand, I'm afraid that songs like Soul Monster are probably lost forever since they can't be easily "Slashified" in that manner. Why the hell couldn't Axl have just released CD II in 2015?

I predict 2 at first, then later on 3.

I've always loved the lyrics to this one. Yes they are rather "immature" but they are honest and dripping with venom. Axl's honesty is his strongpoint as a songwriter. I don't detect much difference in the demo, but the melancholy little intro they added live 2009-2014 (I haven't heard a NITL version, so I don't know if it's still there or not) is great.

Hopefully on 7/31 they play the new Hardschool so we can have a Wtf happened to Hardschool thread. I wonder how many will prefer the demo's instrumental to the Slash version.
#245 Re: Guns N' Roses » Wtf happened to…Riad » 224 weeks ago
Don't care for it. The "all my salvation" part is repetitive and grating. Guitars are definitely better on the demo.
#246 Re: Guns N' Roses » WTF happened to…Catcher in the Rye » 224 weeks ago
Beautiful melodies, great lyrics and one of Axl's best outros. I prefer the album version because it doesn't fadeout and I actually like Ron's solo.
#247 Re: Guns N' Roses » Wtf happened to…There Was a Time » 225 weeks ago
Never liked this song or got the hype. It's individual parts are good (besides the incredibly flat chorus) but feel pasted together and do not flow at all. I also prefer Robin's solo to Bucket's, which I find to be all flash and very overrated.
#248 Re: Guns N' Roses » Wtf happened to…The Blues (Street of Dreams I guess) » 225 weeks ago
No one said every ballad is about Slash. TWAT/TIL are obviously about Stephanie. SOD is about Slash, and it isn't a love song.

Who writes a love song about some you detested? No one. Most likely about a past love affair. Listen to Hardschool, Now that's about Slash!
It is not a love song, at least not the romantic kind. Every line in the song is something Axl has said about Slash in one way or another in interviews after the breakup.
#250 Re: Guns N' Roses » Wtf happened to…If The World » 225 weeks ago
Always liked this song. It reminds me of Garbage's The World Is Not Enough, a song I have a strong nostalgic connection to. I prefer the album version as I feel it benefits from the thicker production.
