Chinese Democracy is such a disaster project. There are plenty of good ideas on that album and at some point a lot of them were actually good songs too. The finished product though just completely falls flat. Too much of everything, messy sound and no cohesion. In many ways it feels like an album recorded by different artists over several decades in different countries, which is pretty close to the truth. This is not an album, it's a collection of overproduced songs from various lineups thrown together for accounting reasons.
This. But I also think the overproduction was an attempt to make it sound like a cohesive album. Like at least it’s all overproduced.

I’ve liked Slash’s take on Chinese solos. This one was lame and uninspired.
Axl wasn’t his best on it either. Probably should keep it in the back pocket.

When I first heard Shackler’s I was energized by the energy of the song and Axl’s vocals relative to other leaked Chinese songs. Unfortunately it sounds out of place on the album likely due to the time gap in finishing the songs.

Noticed on the last show they came out for the encore with Coma. Friggin cool song to come back with after the break. I go to every show when they come around and just this simple set tweak would have me geeking out in the crowd. Don’t know why it’s so hard.

I’d like to here this band cover Donna Summer’s Hot Stuff, that song is a banger / barn burner.
Something that suits Axl, would suit his hero Bon Scott too if he were here.
One of the most wild gnr takes I’ve ever heard. Don’t think you’re serious but either way lol.

My only gripe with the setlist these days is the order. Be cool if you showed up one night expecting ISE and instead it’s YCBM or something for an opener.

I was thinking they can't possibly just keep on touring every year so I checked out Metallica, and yes you can. They've been on some kind of tour every year since 1983 except for 01-02, 05 and 2020.
If they release 2 songs every year that's going to cover a good few years for them.
You’re right but if they oversaturate the market will it still be financially worth it? Metallica will “tour” every year but rarely touch the US. Presumably they can make plenty of money doing the Euro festivals and South America.

I listened to Old Skool for the first time in months and the cut and paste aspect of it was obvious, even to my untrained ear. But it is what it is. If this is the only way to get new music from these guys, then so be it.
Yeah but you had heard the “unreleased” version before because you are a diehard fan (like everyone here). They aren’t doing stadiums, baseball parks, and arenas because of people like us. The general public doesn’t care much less know the extent of copy and paste.
#369 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rockville coverage » 233 weeks ago
With no US dates on the books I entertained the idea of going. Like maybe 20% chance I would. Cant imagine if I left for the night or 2 with a 2 month old in the house and the show got fucking canceled. My wife would be ecstatic i’m sure.
Does anyone here remember the wait to get in the doors the first Vegas show of the reunion (their second concert). It was raining the crowd was restless and I had a reallllly bad feeling everything fell off the rails.

What a bummer. Also one of the rare GnR cancellations you can’t be mad at the band!
