AFJF Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I heard a portion of a song called "Better" (1:20 worth) and I must say...the first few seconds made me say "what the hell is this crap" but once the vocals start the song sounds great. Maybe I'm just an impartial GNR fan but this **** gets me so god damn pumped for this album to come out. Here's the link http://www.megaupload.com/?d=230WUD7R Wait for the countdown in the top right corner to get to zero, an ad or box will come up...close that out by clicking the "x" and then the link for the demo should appear....ENJOY!!!!

Boozer76 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Yo I gotta be honest. I lsitened to it about 4 times and it just got worse and worse for me. Axl's voice sounds ok in the first verse, but as soon as it starts getting higher it just sounds like ass. And whatever the hell that is in the intro is almost embarrassing. I used to love GNR with Appetite and Lies, but that was really it for me. Civil War was the only decent song they ever did afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinion Booz, you're entitled to it but c'mon, you saying estranged wasn't a great song? The Illusion albums had some epic songs on there that propelled them to be the first ever #1 and #2 albums simultaniously in history. I actually didn't care much for Civil War but I loved Estranged, Yesterdays, Locomotive, Don't Damn Me....of course none of these topped appetite but I still loved 'em. To each his own muh man.

Hell Yeah Barton....It's been several years since I even believed this album existed but now that I've heard four of five songs from it, I belive again and I WILL be seeing them in concert several times if/when they tour just like last time.

Like I said, to each his own but I can tell you this much, when I saw them a few years ago at MSG and in Boston you never would have known they left. I mean, don't get me wrong, it didnt feel quite right looking at the circus freaks on stage with Asl as opposed to the original band but in all seriousness the music sounded the same and Axl was Axl, great electrifying lead singer. I realize the guy messed up what was the greatest band of this generation but the writing and musical ability sounds like it's still there if you listen to songs like "the blues" and "chinese democracy" I'll take a real rock band over some emo **** any day. JMO of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyCarl40 Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 Guns n' Roses at their peak, lyrically, musically, and everything else was and still is one of the best rock and roll outfits. However, after slash, duff, izzy, and matt left it got worthless. I could care less what Axl does with those wannabees. I'd rather listen to VR.

The Troll Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 If Axl wasn't such an *******, they could have been the next Rolling Stones. They probably had the best front-man/guitarist combo since Led Zeppelin. It really sucks to think about what could have been. Maybe had they held it together, we wouldn't be subjected to all of the garbage the radio feeds us nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats some sort of joke right? When I went and saw the nouveau G n' R with Buckethead he didn't even play all of the solos. It was a joke, pretty much because he couldn't play all of them. He is a gimmick, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
