In a way, the moment we saw Matt in the “YCBM” video announced a change in drummer/sound from which there was no going back.
It felt like the transition from most dangerous band in the world to ambitious headliner with an eye on stadiums. Everything got BIG. He played well and propelled the sound. No doubt he felt pressure to make his mark.

That's why I was so shocked by that YCBM clip. I so rarely listen/watch anything from the band.
People who follow along might be used it...but I'm not. There's a noticeable drop in quality from a few years ago.
That was the first live footage I've bothered to watch since probably 2017 and yes, it lacked any spark whatsoever. I had no inclination to look for more. Regretably.

"The General," as long as it doesn't have the f'd-up, guessed-at lyrics in the "reconstructed" fan-made version, would be a gamechanger.

One song with vocals we haven't heard before and the entire fan community will be overjoyed. One song. For now that's all we need, Axl ....

I could only last a few seconds through each clip.
God bless him for trying his best, but he needs time off to recuperate.
Now more than ever they should lean on recorded work to keep them in the spotlight rather than endless nostalgia tours which destroy what is left of his vocal cords.

I had this t-shirt back in the day
A different album on each side! That is clever!

Shitty merch, James? How can you say that when they just released the Appetite 35th Anniversary Collection?
#328 Re: Guns N' Roses » Predictions for the next decade? » 218 weeks ago
At what point does the mainstream public and press view the delayed "20th anniversary" UYI box as a joke?
If it isn't announced in the next month or so as a potential Christmas buying season item, they will have to push it back to 2023.
22nd anniversary? Not exactly a milestone ...
#329 Re: Guns N' Roses » Follow Air Axl across South America! » 218 weeks ago
Agreed on all of the above.
He seemed obsessed with bigger and bigger statements. UYI as a two-disc made an impression (Springsteen tried the same thing but with less hype a year later) so of COURSE ChiDem had to be envisioned as three discs.
We are left with a million what ifs. All of which make more sense and do more for the band’s rep than what we actually got.
#330 Re: Guns N' Roses » Follow Air Axl across South America! » 218 weeks ago
Makes you wonder, had Brian formally joined GNR would his involvement been endorsement enough for the label to release ChiDem earlier?
