The songs are cool for what they are: a single and its b-side, the level of guitars in Chinese is stratospheric, slash does what he can, it's not his style and he's not that versatile! Not only did they not detect slash and duff in the leaks from monster and the general, if not they listened to buckethead and robin! Of course, that shit can't be slash! They are robin and buckethead and so each one lies to themselves in their own way! Artistically, slash is not at that level, it it was, not anymore! The epic solos are in chinese democracy and those are mainly robin and buckethead! Of the singles that have been published there is not a single decent guitar line by slash, much less epic or magical and in general In the end he tries but if we compare it with any Chinse CD solo you realize the artistic level of that work that is far superior to what he can play or compose slash these days!....p.s, let's enjoy what we have!
Yep, yo are right. I think the same

I wouldn't call it negativity to the members giving our opinions.
I would say we all love this band. We only had one album from 2008 and when they release a couple of songs we have the right of giving our sincere opinion about them.
And if most of the people feels the mix is horrible, the song seems unfinished or whatever i wouldn't blane the fans. Just respet opinions.
As i said i'm happy we are moving on and getting new songs. But my opinion is the last songs are far away from the Big Guns.
I'll keep waiting for new music and hopufuly at some point we'll have great songs

It's the same A or B side. The lack of work on it is obvious.

If I want to find problems I would note that all of these new songs had a lot of repeats. They are all awesome song concepts that feel a touch unfinished somehow, and I think its that they all feel like they need a new 3rd verse or something of that nature.
General for instance feels like the build up part of one of Axl's epics. But it doesn't complete. Hell, Slash sounds like he's just getting warmed up to go nuts when it ends, I think it needed a huge guitar outro whole Axl kept up with those screamy bits in the background...
It's like NR if it didn't have the two slash solos or the outro, or breadown with out the outro, or locomotive if it was just 1 verse. Basically I think what is there is awesome but it feels incomplete. I wonder if Axl felt this too and that's why these songs were held over so many years - waiting for an idea that never came? Maybe not too though.
Anyways despite my bitching I do enjoy all this new music, and i'm so glad he's finally sharing things again.
I think this is accurate and I agree with this. And I agree, I generally, like the song and vocal melody. The production/mix let it all down.
And YES - it's like an incomplete song, as are most of the Chinese Era left overs (and some on Chinese). A solid guitar solo, or an outro, a bridge, another verse... sometimes a chorus is what's missing, a breakdown/change up. "Waiting for an idea that never came" is a good theory. It DOES remind me of the November Rain demos where he's got the CORE of the song, but not the middle or last verse, not the ending coda, no Slash solo. If Coma was a Chinese left over, we'd have gotten 15% of the song.
They repeat the lyrics in all the verses and it's incomplete song... Well, they had a lot of years to complete It, to develope the lyrics etc.
It's seems to me very unprofesional and lazy.
It's a joke

All casual GNR fans i put the song they do this kind of comments. They don't like It.
'seriously IS this GNR?' asked me one of my fave friends....
Not very popularI would like to show you the comments on Italian metal sites, they are pure hate.
For example:
- "A steaming piece of shit before I left in the morning would have been much more valuable..."
- "Here we are really faced with a shambles...
I don’t have words anymore...
I wonder why Slash and Duff wanted to get back together with that clown (Axl) and continue the destruction of the group’s name..."
LoL

Probably Axl cut that chorus due to the woke ideology and the troubles the chorus could bring home Lol
#78 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 83 weeks ago
Man, absurd would be so much better with the the “bitch like you chorus” added. You can talk about pussy full of maggots. Should have left “what can I do, with a bitch like you”
Would be awesome to hear a clean recording with that old chorus and the old version of The G. I doubt we ever will though.
Yeeeeeaaaahhhhh
I always thought the same. Agree 100%

This just in… my own personal ratings for the new songs
Perhaps - fucking great
Hard skool - fucking great
The general - good but not my fave
Monsters - one of the best things they have ever done so help me Jesus it’s awesome so it is!
Absurd- sucks the sweat off of a dead man’s balls
Me:
Perhaps: good one but worse than Catcher, Streets of Dreams... And the demo solo and synths are better than the final song. It would fit perfectly in UYI II or Chinese Democracy
Hard Skool: it's a good song but i prefer Better, Chinese Democracy or Shacklers. As happens with perhaps, the demo has more potential in my opinion
Absurd: experimental crazy song, enjoyable but once again i prefer the demo. I think Rhiad or oh my God are quite better
The General: once again a good song that i enjoy but in Chinese Democracy are better songs i've already mentioned
Monsters: my fave of all above. It has great potential.

But... The quality, the creativity, the art of surprised fans with the music.
I feel this band could make it better. For me TG is not a bad song but let me cold when i listen It. Is this the continuation of the trilogy? Can It be compared to the songs of the trilogy in terms of quality, impact, surprise... Not for me.
Bach said this song was his favourite song of all the material he heard.... How will be the unheard songs... I hope he is wrong!
I remember when people talked about BIG Guns... I think the last Big guns i've heard are several songs of CD. But not HS, Absurd, TG or Perhaps.
And don't misunderstand me, i enjoy these songs but if i rate them are far away from Big gunsI agree with you, these last songs are not at all up to the past albums if compared to them, except Perhaps that there could be in one of the two UYI. They certainly had potential to be better than they are now. Absurd and TG with a better vocal mix, HS with less banal lyrics, etc. I hope they put more effort into the next new pieces like Monsters
That's the point for me.
Anyway i don't want to be negative. I like all the last songs. It's just is GNR!! I expect a bit more of them. But i'm happy to finally get the songs.
LOVE <3
