I agree with James in the sense that there’s a higher premium on the Izzy days. I think what leaves a sour taste in fans mouth’s is the Tokyo VHS/DVD. They showcased GnR at the height of bloat, with Gilby and Matt, Tracy and Roberta, Teddy Zig Zag…Decades later you would never know they did the Skin n Bones tour. It’s the only officially released show on video by the band and that’s a shame.
Side note - I remember when they finally released Tokyo on DVD…what a feeling!

Not sure your link is working SG.
Listened to the new song today. I’d rag on it but it’s what I’ve come to expect from this group. Slash comes up with a nifty rift then fill in the rest with generic rock music. At least on the last album, which I have done my fair share of bashing, songs like My Antidote and Mind Your Manners they were good songs to run to.

Honestly shocked they are marketing it like this and premiering it on NFL Network. Figured they’d just drop it on Youtube and do nothing…it’s almost like they actually want people to know about it!

Axl mentioned in the 2016 China exchange he likes to write melodies first, rather than someone simply handing him completed guitar tracks, so apparently he did find it difficult to write lyrics to tracks like this. Who knows what's completed and what's not.
Pretty sure he mentioned this in one of his early CD era interviews too. Obviously didn’t work out for him or the band.

What makes it even worse is the timing. Release a couple tunes......as soon as any buzz dissipates.....here comes an eight month break.
To be fair-ish I’m pretty sure they were banking on an Aussie tour around this time but had to postpone?

I was thinking this morning, that if they drop a song or two with some regularity, like if this happens again during next years tour, then another little morsel the year after or whatever.
That would be fun in it's own way. It would give us a reason to get involved each tour to hear the live versions of the new songs. And each time the song would be fresh.
In a way that would be more entertaining over the next decade than them dropping 15 songs now and then the new info in 9 years time is a live version of track 5 of the CD we got this week etc.
I mean i know most prefer the experience of a whole feast of new stuff at once, but given GNR seems to run on a 15-20 year retool time - at least this way we have something to do in the wait times.
This is not meant to be a defense of the way they have handled releasing material, but I do remember when CD was released, the shine wore off quickly. Then it becomes “when’s the next album” and you end up torturing yourself waiting. Part of the problem was we had already heard the CD songs for a few years before release, but it would be the same with this album. It’s going to be stuff we’ve heard. So, I agree, Monkey, that it would be enjoyable if they introduce a “new” song or two every leg.

Depends what their contracts said during the CD sessions. Maybe as part of that they gave Axl the option to assume all writing credits for their works if he chose to do so. Maybe they got bought out. The only ones who know won't say so we're all just speculating.
Either way, I still focus on the positive of this interview - they worked on "a lot", the leftover material is it's own "endeavour" and that more is clearly coming. When is the only remaining question.
If you were a member of nu-guns and were offered a buyout for your writing credits, why wouldn’t you take it? A) you know there’s a good probability they won’t release material anyway and B) if they do release material it won’t be a song where they have to give you money anyway. Take the cash.

Wait that lick is Cannonball by The Breeders. Need James to back me up on that lol.
#419 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » SMKC new single out 22nd October » 263 weeks ago
Good song. Chorus is very predictable but the verse riff honestly sounds influenced by Axl’s material. That lick and the Absurd lick go hand in hand.

Yuck. What a cliche.
Because of Led Zeppelin?
Naming your album after where it comes numerically in your discography is a cliche. Even when worse when bands put “chapter” in front of the number.
Anyway will give the song a listen later. Didn’t have the song to listen to so yes I bitched about the album title.
