Now that the final versions out, i wonder how many demos of unreleased songs there are. We know a 99 and a 2002 (Boston Promos) copy exist, and possibly a 2004/05. im sure the song list changed year to year, and demos were made. I wonder if the hoarders have them.

If there's one thing that every fan, critic and hater should be able to agree on it's that Axl has just jumped up a hell of a lot higher in the list of all time greatest singers.

Until you get to TIL 

I completely respect your opinion and think it's great that every loves different songs, but I can't fathom how you don't like TIL's vocals. They are absolutely wrought with emotion; the really long 'goodbye' at the end absolutely killed me the first time I heard it.  And the first verse, the way he goes from that beautiful new clean lower register straight up into a rougher high register is just perfect to me.

Oh my God, Scraped is okay, but ermmm, okay, fuck, Axl just can do a rocker like he used to be able too....  Can Scraped really hang with YCBM or Nighttrain?

dude, nothing Axl does will be good enough for you unless Slash is involved....just admit it. You are an old school Slash nutswinger. Nothing wrong with that but it is pretty obvious from your posts here and at HTGTH.:slash:

I'll be the first to admit that and no-one should have to hide their preferences - After all JimBob isnt here anymore. Guns N Roses used to be my favourite band, no question, everything about them was fucking awesome, the sum of all parts. The music, the band, the controversy. I used to await and love every crazy thing they did without question. This is a cut and paste, badly produced clusterfuck. Dont get me wrong, I like it, but I dont love it by anymeans - its a different animal. More like a rabbit that the snarling tiger that was old GNR.

This has only taken so long because Axl wants people to forget the old band ever existed and try to hoodwink people to think this is GNr as its always been. This is aimed at a whole new fanbase, 14 year old scrotes looking for a proper rock band. Cant be done - there'll always be Appetite an UYI to show how GNR is done properly - no doubt a (lucrative) albatross around Axl's neck. People looking for the 'most dangerous band in the world' would probably be better off downloading the discography of Enya. I only hope that new folks investigating this album will step back and go 'fuck, thats real GNR' when they listen to Appetite or Lies or whatever.

Just my 2 cents - go on, flame me to death.
