What if its crap?

[Krispy Kreme]

In 2002, with Rhiad, OMG, and Silkworms, I would have said there  is a good chance that the album will be crap. But with the new songs, plus Maddy, CD, and Blues, I would have to agree that the chance of the album being crap is very small. We don't know about the other songs, but I would bet they will be above  average, at least I hope so!

Don't you guys understand that even for their sound, OMG & Silkworms are good for industrial/techno?

I like all the new songs. Of course, I'm not racist against Techno, like a lot of folks around here are.

Anyway, I don't think it will be crap.


But if it is, then so be it. At least we won't have to wonder anymore.

i couldnt agree more

[mr.glavin]

   Have u listened to the leaked songs and live versions ... they're freakin awesome

[chineseroses]

Ive never been worried about the album being crap, im just worried about it being average.

[doooodickiebr]

as long as axl sings it will be great

[slane92]

The leaks from last year gave us an insight into the potential of the album.

[bazgnr]

Ive never been worried about the album being crap, im just worried about it being average.

Judging by the leaks, I doubt very much that it will be anything close to average.  So far, so good.

I like OMG quite a lot.  I have nothing against industrial influences.

I like all the new songs. Of course, I'm not racist against Techno, like a lot of folks around here are.

I am racist against techno.  C'mon guys!  Let's go lynch techno!

But seriously, I hate techno. 

Wailing guitar solo = good.   

Thump thump thump beep thump thump thump beep = bad.

SRV, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Angus = good.

Eiffel 65 - "Blue (Da Ba Dee)" = I need a gun.

[Neemo]

If CD is crap then alot of people will leave this forum

[JohnMorrison73]

i can see u saying that silkworms and OMG were shit but what does everybody have against Rhiad?! BHs solo is crazy on it.

im not quite sure what being 'racist about techno' actually means...but seeing as though im not racist, i guess im not..however i do agree with most of what u said...im not really into techno either....

for me it's the other way around, OMG and silkworms kick ass but rhiad is not as cool, hopefully it'll be changed a lot on CD just like chinese democracy has changed a lot since 2001/02

to me it doesnt matter what people on here think.  Axl could do an acapella version of Christina Aguilera's new album and people on here would be calling it the best album ever.  90% of people on here are going to love it regardless of the music.  Being a perfectionist tends to not make a great rock album.  AFD was gritty and grungy and was not perfect and thats one reason why its great.  To me the only song I have heard that is deserving to be on a cd that took 14 years to make is "Better" and I dont think it should be #1 single material.  Thats not saying that TWAT, The Blues, Madagascar, IRS, CITR, CD or any other songs might make it there, but the only one that I have heard and thought "yeah, this is great" was Better.  Thats not saying I dont like the other songs, but the jury is still out on how good this album will be. 

Music rarely ever is "crap" some people will almost always love some music.  If music means something to you and invokes certain emotions or just cheers you up then it is worthwhile music to the person who is listening to it.  Regardless of the music the album will most likely mean something to all of the people here and because of that we will all love it.  The question is whether, people who have not invested their time investigating rumors and obsessing over lineups, will enjoy the album.

I hope they will, but so far ive only heard one track that I would deem universally good.

good point there mate......i usually have that attitude to music...but you know....i had to ask.......

[bazgnr]

To me, asking "what if its crap?" is about equal to asking "what if it ships in a pink, fuzzy case and comes with a VR keychain?"

Just not gonna happen.  The album will be incredible.

And Aimz - nice to see you venture outside of The Jungle for a change...

[PJ]

? AFD was gritty and grungy and was not perfect and thats one reason why its great.?

thats a perfectionist production.. to be perfectionist is to make everything rite to achieve in your opinion the sound that you wanted.. is not to make a record that sound clean...
they intented AFD that way.. they wanted a raw, aggresive sound
they played the song like a million times
and record it 3 times each song at least...
they tried different producers to achieve that kinda sound: Paul Stanley from KISS, Manny Charlton from Nazareth. Spencer Proffer and Black Randy and Chris Weber worked on their demo tape
in their word:
Axl: "In the production of Appetite, everything had been worked on, and worked on, and worked on"
Axl: "We were basically in the production of this record, we were there like every step of the way, even to the - when we went to mix it, usually those people don't have anybody there - we went there with the mixing, when went there when they mastered it, we were there. And so... when you get this record, maybe it's not produced as well as something else you might hear, that is done by the best people in the world. But that's because this is more real, this is us! This isn't somebody else doing it"

At least VR put out something... and they're already on their second album.....   

But I don't think it will be crap, it would be dissapponting for many but not crap, maybe not even a master piece,but it will be for sure a cool record to have on your collection, there would be something for everybody.

 

[novemberparadise23]

with the songs we have already the rest of the album would have to be garbage for it to be crap because the songs we have heared have ranged from good to great
