Someone on mygnr has finally called out the clipping on the bass drum throughout.

Thought I was the only one who heard it.

The appalling mix notwithstanding, this is just so amateurish as to be laughable. Right up there with the CD liner notes debacle for me.

God lord. Back to the amateurish mixing and production after getting a proper professional mix for Perhaps. Can they not hear how bad those drums sound plus they are clipping like crazy. And that ending is the weakest Gn’R ending in their catalogue to date.

The more I listen to all of these Chinese leftovers that Slash and Duff have worked with, the more it's clear these are bang-average songs that were left off the album for good reason. Perhaps is the cream of the crop by some distance of the 5 we have now heard completed for me.

I'm also increasingly baffled they didn't prioritise Atlas and State of Grace as well - I think they could be quality songs.

What a massive letdown "The General" is.

The end insofar as not being cancelled vs being cancelled. Cancelled equates to no more Sweet Child on the radio, no more Jungle at sports fixtures, no tiktoks, no more kids/teenagers wearing GN'R t-shirts, no more GN'R being part of the fabric of the worlds view around them being an absolutely iconic band. Certainly no more sold out global stadium jaunts.  This may not happen of course - but it's possible. Look at what happened to Michael Jackson.

You are underplaying their cultural importance all around the world.
