Neither as well for me.  Re recorded CD just sounds stale because we’ve already heard it in various stages of completion during that time frame (late 90s-2000s).

And lol at the six years to complete an album bs.  There is no reason why any band now should take that long to complete one album.

It also turned out that he had 15-20 songs that were fully fleshed out songs .  And that 3 discs worth of material that we heard about for years in the late 2000s was total bullshit.

I almost wish he weren’t so fucking lazy and would work on these (or any new songs) w/ Slash and Duff.

This is probably the most interesting one in terms of music and strong vocals.  Still think the lyrics and chorus need to be tightened up but that’s nitpicking.

Netflix just bought Warner Bros (which includes HBO and HBO Max). Another nail in the coffin of the theater going experience, cinema and probably physical media.

They have already indicated that they will shorten the window that new movies will be shown in the theater /cinena.

oh your Netflix rates are probably going to increase because of this.

Two of the major film companies (MGM and now Warner Bros) are owned by “streamers” now (Amazon and Netflix).  We never knew how good we had it (70s-mid 2000s) in terms of movies.

I kind of get sad when I watch these older movies and the company that made them is now defunct (like Tri-Star pictures) or owned by a media conglomerate (Universal now a Comcast company)

Nothin is def better of the two tracks .  It’s quite different from what they usually release.  I like the “chill vibe”. 

The vocals sound pretty good .  I wonder when they were recorded.

This is why you should just treat them as a touring band and that’s it.  I don’t really know how to really express this next point .  But outside of that touring band they are basically dead, in terms of everything else .  Fan interaction.  Releasing any unreleased material  and just giving a shit about their fanbase . 

Megadeth is releasing their last album next year and I think they are including some cover from Ride the Lightning as coming full circle in his career.  I haven’t really listened to anything outside of the 90s stuff.  But he has my attention just on treating me as something more than revenue .

Which is what GNR treats their fanbase as. Once you realize this is what their game is you get less annoyed .  If they don’t give a shit , why should you?  Slash and Duff are complicit in this as well btw.  They are happy to ride the reunion gravy train and rake in the profits and watch it burn.

This is one of those you had to be there things.  I mean you can watch the YouTube clips but it’s not the same because the world was different and they were like 360 degrees different from this current mess.

For those younger fans: find musicians (old, young , dead , alive etc) that move you and releases material and interacts with the fan base.

I’m not saying stop listening or enjoying GNR but there are other musicians worthy of your time and energy that don’t treat you like pond scum.
