What about Axl's "Zoolander" voice when he says, "I don't want to do it"....
That's fine - I never had a problem with that part. People say Axl sounds like Edith Bunker sometimes, too, but he doesn't. 
Don't want to do it sounds like something off No More Tears or Ozmosis, to me, not freaking Ben Stiller.

All I'm gonna say is I like it. Honestly I do. It's not mindblowing but I like hearing it as it's ment to be. These songs belong to us. We're the ones who have been listening to them behind closed doors for years so it's like we finally get to share our toys with the world. It's not the best album but it's entertaining and it's different. As much as I pick it apart it is a breath of fresh air for mainstreme music(yes folks Gn'R is mainstreme haha) If the World is cool I think.
That's well said.
I'll enjoy being able to have friends who've heard the songs - this won't be a weird thing that "I'm into" - it'll just be some music I like, and hopefully, some music that a couple million others like, too.
I don't know of many other pieces of art that have been critiqued and anaylized in progress like this album has.
I think the big surprise is that SORRY really has some great vocal stuff going on - that's all been losts in the low-fi leaks we've had (yes, Bach is there in the chorus, but in the same way Shannon Hoon was in Don't Cry [many people don't know he sings over the whole song!])

Unfortunately, IRS on my first listen seems to suffer from the "same vocal placed on new instruments" that the IRS demos did. It just doesn't stand out. I wouldn't care if it's old or not - it just doesn't sound mixed right to me right now. IRS is one of my favorite songs... ever.
New drum fill - new high-wah wah sounding guitar on the left channel, wished it was up higher, though. It's definately a great idea and I wished that was the 'main part'.
That's the trouble with all the leaks we had - we hear new things and wish they stood out more, or we hear old things and wished they were gone, and we hear a song and it sounds messed up because we're focusing on the new parts and not percieving the same parts correctly. Maybe that's why I'm all amiss about the mix on this song. Lots of new small guitar parts but it mentally bogs down the vocals.
#484 Re: Guns N' Roses » BETTER: second single CONFIRMED » 866 weeks ago
Wow - he did stuff for Soul Asylum?
250,000 is a lot of money. BUT it's also sort of upper-middle class for entertainers or musicians. And it's LA. Part of the money is just opportunity cost - he's being compensated for being a little tied up and being compensated to be availible - and to work with strange circumstances. We don't know he's really been sitting around. I mean, compared to most people, musicians do just "sit around" - but they do work hard. I don't think he's under or over paid.
#485 Re: Guns N' Roses » When will it leak? *It Leaked* » 866 weeks ago
I couldn't disagree more about the TIL lyrics. A cliche isn't a cliche when it's completely and obviously sincere.
I can completely relate to the way Axl has seemingly obsessed over Seymour for so long. I know how it feels to believe more than anything that nobody could mean as much to you as this one person who doesn't feel the same. Some people have endless relationships and get married multiple times, for others, people like Axl and myself, the breakdown of one such relationship.marriage is enough to mess you up bad, but to go through it again has a permanent emotional effect on you; you're never quite the same again.
This I Love isn't like some Tim Rice/Jon Bon Jovi made to order, by the numbers love ballad with cliched, empty platitudes; Axl means every single line in the song with every fibre of his being.
Before I'd heard the song once, when I read the lyrics, I knew it was going to be great because I related intensely to them, the same was I do to Twat, IRS, The Blues and Prostitute.
If you don't get/like it, you have to realise that when he sings 'I'd search the universe and find mysrlf in her eyes', he hasn't just knocked those words off like some session writer making a record for Britney Spears. There are times of emotional extremes when such sentiments are the absolute truth.
Absolutely insightful and true. The composition is simple but it manages to be fresh. Gives voice to why people think it's cliche and why others are really engaging with it.
I think it's curious why he's singing about "if she's near me" and "hears me" - well, she or Dylan is going to hear the song NOW, that's for sure.
Scraped and Better have the lyric rapid-fire we got used to. It seems like his lyric writing has been stripped down. It's obvious the guy was emotionally destroyed as this record was getting started.
#486 Re: Guns N' Roses » Izzy » 867 weeks ago
Come off it, people. "Izzy, please will you play on these songs written and recorded by ex-new members which are about what a bunch of cunts your friends Slash and Duff are." "Wicked, I'd love to! I've been waiting since 1991 to go on a mammoth, endless world tour, I fucking love that shit!"
Hahahah. Exactly.
#487 Re: Guns N' Roses » "Guns N' Roses: Is It All Over? Does Anyone Care?" » 867 weeks ago
I gotta say I'm surprised at alot of the "doom and gloom". I know this much at this point; I've waited for the next Guns N' Roses album for a long time. And now it's finally coming out in just over a week. Everything I've heard from it until now has me excited for what I haven't heard.
Dude, no kidding. Sometimes I wonder if people start and post on forums of bands, but don't even like the music! Haha.
#488 Re: Guns N' Roses » (OLD NEWS!)The Limewire Leaks Discussion » 867 weeks ago
The "hidden" track is a fake and has been on YouTube for ages now.

DEBUNKED.
LOL.
Is this what people were talking about?
Everyone who heard this and passed it on should go back and listen to their GNR records because they uhm... forgot what Axl sounds like.
I mean really, it's... really BAD.
#489 Re: Guns N' Roses » (OLD NEWS!)The Limewire Leaks Discussion » 867 weeks ago
I actually like the end guitar in Catcher. It does something that May's didn't. It's a bit more triumphant and wants to take you places. May's reminded you of where you've been. The hard part is that the vocals are pretty much the same - maybe they're too muddy in these 'clean' leaks (which are pretty unclean, they just don't skip). The vocal interpretations don't follow the new guitar parts... for me yet.
#490 Re: Guns N' Roses » Chinese Democracy First Video Coming Soon » 867 weeks ago
BLS-Pride wrote:Wasn't there a rumor that they had already shot a video in like 2002 or something like that?
But I am with Von on this. I want to see a major video. Showcase the band as just that a band. Maybe someone wearing a "Where's Buckethead?" sign.
Something about filming a video in China for CiTR...
Its in the huge Chinese Whispers thread.....
Which leads to a question - how do we go from 'Catcher' as a talked about song, possibly a single, with a video - to may or may not be on the album, and then on the album? Was the talk about a Catcher single or video just smoke? Was this during the '2000 Intentions' title phase (did that exist?).
I'm reminded of an Evening With Kevin Smith where he talks about shooting a movie for Prince. Prince's producer/personal assistant said she's done dozens and dozens of projects/videos for Prince - none of them have seen the light of day. He just makes things. Maybe there's a ton of things we won't ever see because time slipped away and circumstances change.
