Guarenteed that Winnipeg date is fake. No way they'd kick of the tour in Canada unless it's to pull a *cough* staged *cough* No show to insight a  "classic" Gn'R style riot to kick off the tour ala Vancouver 2002.   hahaha. that's the only way they'd start it in Canada, and no offence to Moreblack or anyone from Winnipeg but Winnipeg? C'mon. hardly your tour kickoff location. No way.

Me for one. The dj at Zed 99(that's the biggest rock station around here out of 4) who I talked to yesterday brought it up without any mention from me. He felt it's a mess of production which is what I think. Too many ideas floating around in one song. It's somethng I've always said about the new material and when others start echoing that opinion without any influence from me I know there's something to it. At least to some.  Yes it sounds better than the leak but the vocal layers, the synth going on it just sounds messy. It's too busy. My brother feels the same. Most people I've talked to who don't like it think the vocals aren't good. I think that has alot to do with the layering of vocals.  It's crappy. It makes the song sound artificial to alot of people.  I can't post all the names and photos of people I've talked to to prove it to you guys that there are people out there who legitimately don't like it. But going from the past I've been pretty damn objective when it comes to these things. Better has always gotten a pretty decent response when I've played it in the bars. Chinese Democracy never got anything good in response.  My posts on this are pretty consistent with the reaction the song has gotten in the past when I've played it so people are gonna have to either believe I'm being honest or tell me to fuck off cause I'm a  lier. Whatever.  So far t is what it is in this area. It's not fucking Los Angeles. I can't post what they think in LA.

And if you'd read I never said everyone I talked to thinks it sucks. I said the vast majority of them. The first day it was fairly split but as time went on(day 3 now) it's lopsided towards the negative. This is exactly what I'm talking about. I come in and say what I've heard and the moment I mention even one person not likeing it I'm exagerating the point. My God. I NEVER said everyone I talked to dislikes the song.

Actually yeah it is true from where I'm standing. You guys don't like the fact that I haven't heard many positive reviews. I can only report what I've heard. Some postive yes but after three days now it's a far cry from the negative ones. And like I said most people I've talked to don't give a flying fuck who's in or who's out.  The people I've talked to want to hear something good regardless of what band it is or who's in it.  The complaints I'm hearing are production sucks and vocally they don't like it.  How much more in depth should they go.  The opinions of most I've talked to seem to be pretty much how I feel. Yet my opinions are legit(maybe not to some of you) but for anyone who doesn't live and die on a  Gn'R message board they're minds are already made up or they're fucking morons as someone put it? That' or I'm just a  fucking lier and I'm making shit up right?   The general reactions to these songs ARE NEGATIVE from what I've heard. I wish I could say something else  but I can't.  yeah there will be some close minded fools who don't care becasue Slash isn't in the band but most listeners in this world don't care either way who's in the band. They'll take what's given to them if it's something they like so this "minds are already made up" stuff isn't gonna fly for all negative responses.

If it happened it woudln't be all that shocking. In fact I think alot of us would give a huge sigh of relief that thinsg were back to normal
