These four + The Blues are all pretty equal in quality.
Madagascar for the simple reason that the others are slightly better. Very slightly.
#4382 Re: The Garden » YouTube Ordered To Hand Over User Details! » 896 weeks ago
I don't think so BH. They're not going to sue the individuals for watching it (similar to when they sued people who downloaded 30,000+ songs or whatever). I think they are forcing Google to hand over the information so they will have documented "how many users wathced their clips and how many times they watched them" This would be relevant to the amount of damages in lost advertising Viacom could have had. I agree it's BS, because Viacom didn't have clips up on their own site at the time, or it wasn't very popular at least. However, possibly youtube & Google were making $ off advertising. So say $.05 per play, video played 500,000 times, well you get the idea.
The IP's are requested because advertisers make a difference between views and unique views (ie, not the same person watching it 40 different times). Youtube is a great site, but they need to work with the copywright holders & share revenue if they want to move forward. Otherwise, it's going to end up with a bunch of morons on their cell phone taping themselves & their friends for 40 seconds.
That's all well and good, but what happened to privacy? People seem to think it's ok because it's the internet, but really it's nothing different than going through your drawers or opening paper mail.
Viacom may think they're losing money, but what does that got to do with us? Sue google all they want, but stay the fuck away from the users.
Fuckin' multicorporations. They say jump, everybody say 'how high?'. Oh dear, we only made a 100 trillion last year, what a crime!!!

It's pretty freakin' rare though. I haven't even heard it discussed on buckethead.tk. You'd have to dig deep to fake that.
Agreed. It's probably real, or was at some point. There's no attention seeker wanting credit for it as far as I can see.

hey.....look on the bright side, we have Heartbreak Hotel on ITUNES.:sick:
Always funny to see us go from heaven to hell in two posts when there's rumors.
#4385 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rumor: Unheard GNR song on Rockband 2 » 896 weeks ago
Possible, but the stacks are against us to say the least.
#4386 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rumor: Unheard GNR song on Rockband 2 » 896 weeks ago
who does these things?
who gos out of their way to give us hope?
just so we can be burned
Since it is an unheard and 'confirmed' title I'm guessing there were plans to include it, but Axl probably backed out once again and the famous plan b gets 'dusted' off (who am I kidding, plan b is on speed dial of course).

Have you considered people were there, but didn't want to talk to you? 
#4389 Re: Guns N' Roses » Overall feelings on the CD era songs.... » 899 weeks ago
Better - The most hit potential so far. It is also a little irritating in that it doesn't exploit its full potential. Several obvious hooks are basically missed, and that's kinda embarrassing after all these years. Axl got 3 guitar players, but that's something you gotta know because you definitely can't hear it. A couple of spots have improved though.
There Was A Time - Another 'great' tune. Cool intro, fine vocal melody and a blistering end solo and wail. Still, what the fuck? I'm hearing a great song being deliberately tinkered to death. A puzzle loose in the seams. Is it just me that's hearing more recent vocals on this one? Some change in the chorus guitar as well.
Unknown song - I've heard this one about 10 times so...it's pretty safe to say that it plain sucks. The first part of it is almost embarrassing. No, who am I kidding, it is embarrassing. The lyrics are pure cheese and Axl's sounding like one of those 90s prog artists with those womenish falsettos. Total cliche. The only good thing about this song is some of the little guitar work and the outro, which rocks. Still, I'll never ever play this to any of my friends that like gn'r. I don't have the conscience.
If The World - Finally a song as it should be. Not great by all means, but very good, very clean, very finished. Nice to have as an interlude on the album, on any album really. The whole band shines here.
IRS - One of the few songs that has improved for each leak. I've always liked this song. Not single material, but a good rockin' song. Great vocals and solos all around.
Madagascar - Great in its own right. Not the epic I thought it would be, but a lot of charm still. Flawless in structure and production, Axl sounds great.
The Blues - Flawless. Could become a big hit. The girls are gonna love this one, young and old. Best vocal display by Axl so far.
CD - Another great tune, and a great rocker. Should be the opener on the album and on tour. A modern classic in gn'r terms. The intro is simply massive.
Rhiayd - As I suspected the studio version of this song would kick ass. Different than I thought, but all in all very cool. Suffers a bit from the Better/Twat syndrome. Opportunities are wasted.
Individually the songs all have good qualities, except for crapfest named 2 many of them could justly be deemed 'very good', and one or two even great. But to have all of these holes of missed opportunities makes you wonder what these 10 or so years have been spent doing. The most obvious being, where's the guitar? Where's that crunching, hard hitting guns n roses guitar? Sure, at times, but not nearly often enough for a comeback album from a band once labeled most dangerous in the world. Ballads are good and all, but it should be like 2 or 3 of them to every 10 hard song, not the other way around. It can still be salvaged if the remaining unleaked stuff is mint, but at the present we're looking at a slightly too mellow of an album with rough edges.
