How good is CD going to be? Better than AFD and/or UYI?

[DunkinDave]

Glad you're having fun - now please stop posting.

[Krispy Kreme]

who have tried to bash him all these years.

I know this thread don't have much a point. I'm just wasted at my condo having a good time listening to these new tracks. I know some of you out there have to feel the same way though.... how funny is it going to be when Chinese Democracy tops the charts and all these moron critics/reporters look dumb as shit.....

Axl has truly come back to own all these fuckers...

For one week, until people actually hear the music and say, what is this shit?

[Elrothiel]

With the exception of the hot and horny anal sex with Axl Rose, I hear ya! By the way, what's your phone #? I kid, I kid. What a great 3 days. I need some sleep. Let's hope for an announcement on Monday. Good night for now. Like I said, announcement of single release, announcement of album release, and pre-order info. set! Is that too much to ask for?? Good night.

What's my phone number? You cheeky monkey! Anyway it wouldn't do you any good, I live in England! Lol! Yea, what a great 3 days it has been! Right now its 5 AM and I'm still up and listening to T.W.A.T. ... until my computer starts dying on me and freezing the music on one note every 3 seconds... damn all the dust particles lying dormant in my computer...
Anyway, sleep well dude! Happy Gn'R dreams! Try to remember them, then the old Gn'R Dreams thread can come back to life!

Krispy Kreme: ARE YOU MAD/DEAF!!!? *keels over in a dead faint*

But people aren't saying that.. it's been the most requested track here in detroit the last couple days.

[Krispy Kreme]

IMO, the new songs would  end up as outtakes/unreleased demos on ebay during the UYI era. I mean, really, they are nothing special, or have standards  sunk that low? I am simply amazed that anyone could think they are any good at  all. Everyone has his/her opinion and taste, but really, ask yourself if these songs are likely to be remembered in 10 years time, or are any likely to be "defining" songs of GNR. The answer is a resounding "No." And I reserve  the right to keep Maddy and The Blues as exceptions, because they are good. But the rest? A waste of time, musically (but I stipulate the lyrics  are good, but lyrics alone do not make a song).

Only because people are curious. Just wait. Even a highly anticipated movie opens strongly, and if it sucks it drops  like  a rock. So patience  is needed to make an accurate judgment.

That sounds pretty damn good right about now for anyone who is stuck at work.

Now just imagine the listening parties we could all have if CD gets released!

[Elrothiel]

*le sigh*

.... each to their own I guess.

[Mr.Intensity]

Ohh man, when C.D is released it will be played in its entirety every night I have a party at my place. My place is pretty big too so I have about 20-30 people over every weekend ranging from ages 19-27....

Thats why I'll be buying 10 copys of C.D.. so I can give out some to people who show interest in the new gnr!!!

[jimb0]

Vocals sell songs though.  And as far as vocals, Axl knows a thing or two about how to do them. 

And I think the music is creative, it may not be the best as far as guitar skill go, but it is not the worst.

I don't think the albums should be compared.

I wouldn't compare AFD to Illusions, b/c they are musically different. 

You can't always write the same music for twenty years straight. 


If you compare GNR and Metallica from then and now, GNR is def. the better of the two now.  Can you imagine an origional gnr that put something as bad out as st. anger wat to metallica.

So I welcome the new band, but I honor what was. 

[warrocks]

i'd like to go to one of your parties. 
















to get the album for free

i beleive this 

[Mr.Intensity]

I'm a very well paid mortgage broker my friend. So well paid in fact I alread bought 10 tickets to Ministry(my other favorite band who is touring this summer) for all my friends.

I have no problem shelling out $150.00 for 10 copys of C.D and spreading the wealth to others... I want Mr. Rose to keep making music and I will play my part helping him sell records.

Let's keep all the "wohoo, axl roxx and so forth" posts in on thread.


Edited to say
And what do you know... I managed to merge this into a wrong thread... Look what you people made me do...   

[SWINGTRADER]

I think axl is going to need to have a few anthoms in this cd  that appeal to the non hard rock listening public  for him to be successful in his comeback.   If Axl is depending on the rock community alone  for his success  than he is doomed.  the new songs are really good  but not even close to what is needed for him to survive this comeback(maybe madagascar could be one). I would say that around  85-90% of the rock listening public  hate axl with a passion.  i have been visiting non gnr rock message boards  and they all for the most part are saying that these new songs suck  because of how they feel about axl .  I think if axl wrote another "stairway to heaven"  they would still say it sucks.  i would like to know  exactly when it was that axl became to most hated artist in Rock in Roll. Was it in the early 90's when kurt kobain announced how much he hated axl?? i think Curt has a lot to do with this shit.  People love slash but hate axl    i don't get it .   I guess  we will find out when Chinese Democracy is released , it is just too bad  that axl  has to begin his journey  at a negative instead  of zero.   

                       

                                P.S   axl's songwriting is brilliant  but the guitars need alot of work in these new songs     

                                        hopefully they will be  on the final cut.

Was Curt has a lot to do with this shit.? ?

People love slash but hate axl ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? .

Cmon dude! This is just the media conspiracy propaganda. Been there done that. It never existed. If you really believe this stuff, could you tell us who the second gunman on the grassy knoll was?

[scawl18]

Never understood people that need to have what they want be 'successful'.  If you love the music....then what the hell do you care if other people like it or not?

Some of my favorite bands NO ONE likes.  But who cares...on a sunny day when i am driving down the road with my windows open BLASTING "BETTER" what do i give a shit if anyone else likes it or not?

[zombux]

1) Axl never told anyone that he's going to release something perfect - this is just hype & media created bluff
2) yeah guitars aren't that good but remember we still haven't heard anything from studio (except for Boston 2002 promo which rocks IMO), including Oh My God which was in fact also a demo. so don't worry about guitars

go knock door to door over the world n' ask if they like or hate Axl, dont judge on fuckin' msg boards, besides, who gives a shit!!

Axl just needs to put out a quality product and a market will develop. The band lost fans when UYI 1&2 came out but they also tapped into a new fan base. The same will happen here.
