That's amazing and you're right...they'll sink like a lead balloon because there's any follow through.
Look what happened with Perhaps. It was actually getting some attention that first day or two and then....boom...it was over.
The slide has begun. Nothin’ is #7 now & Atlas 10. They peaked at 3 & 5. Still solid, but there’s always momentum when they release these songs & they do nothing with it.
The pop, and subsequent slide are predictable. New songs targeted to an artist with a base of x-millions of subscribers will create a huge initial imprint. Everyone listens to the song when they get the notification on their phone, then moves on with their lives.

When listening the first time, I was shocked they kept that Casio keyboard sound. Sweet baby Jesus.
Other than that, it's pretty good. Slash must have really liked it because he brought his A game to the solo.
Like all the other songs, it sounds like an unfinished song that was simply polished and released.
The post reunion years have revealed the true meaning of the A and B lists....
A list - Actual finished songs going on Chinese Democracy
B list - All the half finished songs, instrumentals, and fragments
Back in the prime years of the CD saga, fans assumed the A list was all the massive epics and the B list all the rockers.
I wouldn’t say that…I’d say we were promised “big guns” on CD2. The General, primarily, being hyped beyond what it should have been. I don’t think fans ever had a feeling AFD2 was coming with CD2. We just assumed the songs would be better.

Remember how Perhaps leaked on TouchTunes? Surprisingly nothin and atlas are currently not there.

Hegseth and Thiel might be the only characters on this seasons South Park to be understated.
Lol what a great season.
#15 Re: Guns N' Roses » Atlas » 5 weeks ago
This must be the “Atlas Shrugged - Bass Up” version.
#16 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nothin' » 5 weeks ago
Yeah I like Nothing too, probably the best of the post CD songs to be fair
'On a restless sea' = Down by the ocean/Down by the sea? probably not but who knows. I remember Axl saying Fink played an SRV style solo on one song, I would imagine that was Nothing.
I had this thought too. A theory could be Down By The Ocean could have been a working title based on the island-sounding guitar lick. Seems like something Izzy could come up with. The big thing that goes against it is the demo had no mention of bodies of water in the lyrics. What are the writing credits?

I’m a younger fan (appetite came out the month i was born). I remember watching November Rain on MTV a bunch but didn’t get into them until I could download songs on Napster/Kazaa in 2001/2002. It has been 24 years of largely nothing that wasn’t given to the base as a leak. I convinced myself in 2002 that Axl and gang would have a resurgence and I have rooted for him very hard, going to great lengths to defend against the vast majority of people who shit all over him. I have spent at least 20k going to concerts. What a fruitless effort.

For the first time in, well, ever, I can safely say if they don’t release tomorrow I won’t care.
#19 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2026 Tour Dates » 6 weeks ago
It’s certainly bizarre. The Boston area has been a staple on every NA tour I can recall.
#20 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2026 Tour Dates » 7 weeks ago
Would love to know why they’re skipping Boston this year.
