#201 Re: Guns N' Roses » Slashing CD to 45 mins » 187 weeks ago
If The World is a great track and I certainly prefer it to the butchered version of Street Of Dreams that made the album. Also the title track is rather bland and nowhere near the quality of Madagascar and TIL.

There is definitely lyrics to Me & My Elvis aka Leave Me Alone/Soul Monster. Axl talked about it in the chats saying he sung it on Christmas Eve….it’s one of the meanest things he’s ever sung
True, he said the bridge was the meanest most venomous thing he ever sung. I'm curious as to what this means because he described TIL's bridge in another comment and I wasn't aware it had one. I always thought a bridge was a vocal part connecting the verses to the chorus, but TIL obviously doesn't have that. I'm not really well versed in song structure.

Well, there has to be lyrics to Oklahoma. He wrote it in the 90s, before the new band was formed. It's totally possible some of those instrumentals have vocals. It doesn't make sense he wrote a song with no lyrics, unless he wrote the instrumental. That still doesn't make sense.
Well, the band did say Axl was playing rhythm guitar on his own songs in 1996. Also in 1996 Slash said they working mostly on Axl's songs, but years later he and Duff said Axl never recorded vocals for anything during that period.

So, just listened to D Tune and Me & My Elvis again on my AirPods. Holy shit! There is no way those 2 don’t have lyrics. They are way better instrumentally than the 2 we got. Mind boggling.
Axl mentioned in the 2016 China exchange he likes to write melodies first, rather than someone simply handing him completed guitar tracks, so apparently he did find it difficult to write lyrics to tracks like this. Who knows what's completed and what's not.

"As far as Guns is concerned we haven't even gotten to that point of really in earnest sitting down and writing, we've been doing a lot of material that's sort of been sitting around for a while..."
Not that we didn't already know this as Axl's vault is all Slash/Duff mentioned in 2018/2019, however there have been a certain collection of people on the forums insisting that new music must have been written since the reunion, so this debunks that.

There is no song on CD that is worse than Absurd. Even Scraped is better as Bucket's riffs are quite good.

I wouldn't be surprised if he hasn't written any lyrics since 2002.
I agree with this. I used to think he definitely wrote Shackler's in 2007 because it was about Virginia Tech but when you look back at his statement, he said he wrote it about school shooters like the Virginia Tech one, not necessarily that he wrote it about that one specifically.

I prefer the demos of all of these recent tracks:
Hollywood Rose demo>2018 SOYL
Village Silkworms>Absurd
2000 Hardschool>Hardskool

MAYBE, just MAYBE, they're releasing the only songs that are ready - as in already recorded by Slash and Duff?
GNR has never been a productive band in the studio, it's always been erratic...
Very possible. Remember Sp1at said they were hoping to have the album ready by Q4 of this year.

Love Axl's vocals but wish they were a bit more in the forefront.
