1. Hard Skool
2. Monsters
3.Perhaps (even though this awfully sounds like it should have been on CD. "POST CD", ahum)
The General
4. Absurd.... Every time I hear it I expect Axl to sing What can I do with a bitch like you?
The Robin Perhaps or the Slash Perhaps? Which one is on your list?
#52 Re: Guns N' Roses » If GNR goes on hiatus, NuGuns should reunite » 86 weeks ago
If Axl, Duff, and Slash do separate for a bit, crazy as it sounds, the coolest thing would be for various NuGuns members to reunite for a tour of their own.
And do some unreleased stuff that they are personally proudest of.
It don’t really matter (See what I did there?) who is involved but some of these guys who we have come to appreciate in an all new way since the leaks deserve the acclaim.
Pitman in particular was there from the start. Bucket and Brain were a partnership even outside of GNR. Bumble is just an wonderful guy with great stage presence. He also seems friendly enough and dedicated to his craft enough to get along well with Bucket, personally and professionally. Tommy on bass.
It could be all instrumental and still be an amazing night of music.
Awesome idea. Nugnr should reunite. Axl should release Chinese Democracy 2 and Chinese Democracy 3 albums with nugnr. Imagine Perhaps with Robin being an official single and music video. Imagine Hard Skool with Bucket and Robin being the next single with music video. And imagine The General and Monsters with Bucket and Robin as the third single with music videos. Imagine Robin performing This I Love for the first time on stage with Axl. Imagine Robin performing Perhaps live. And imagine Robin and Bucket doing Hard Skool together live on stage in front of the whole wide world. It would be heaven and would produce some of the greatest rock concerts ever! Nugnr reuniting for Chinese Democracy starts now!

That Robin tee from the link looks awesome.
#54 Re: Guns N' Roses » Rank the Post CD Songs » 86 weeks ago
So Absurd, Hard Skool, Monsters, Perhaps, The General
How are people ranking the new material released in the past couple years?
Give us your list 1-5
Based on the Robin Finck and Buckethead versions I rank them like this:
Perhaps (Robin Finck)
The General (Robin Finck)
Hard Skool (Buckethead/Robin Finck)
Absurd aka Silkworms (Buckethead)
Monsters (i put last since most think this is Slash and Duff)

We're never going to know all of it or hear all of it.
One of the reasons I'm content with just getting a couple more songs.
The only reliable narrator has been Axl but he rarely speaks. Even going back to the classic lineups, Slash, Duff, Sorum, Adler and Izzy are high as fucking kites most of the time and don't know what day it is. Slash's biography is littered with contradictions. Duff is at least also reliable post 95.
Axl rarely contradicts himself and is often proved right when discussing what has happened. He's horribly unreliable when discussing what will happen.
On the song titles, at some point after the original batch (98-01 vocals) a lot of them seem meaningless.
Shackles Revenge retained it's original title as a sequel to Buckethead instrumental called Shackler. He then writes and records lyrics for it in 2007 about the Virginia Tech shooting but keeps Bucket's title.
The General is called The General because Brain was eating Chinese food. It is another one that has nothing to do with the lyrics.
The General could be another name of the abuser Axl is writing and singing about in The General.

I'd pay for one too.

That's what another poster on this forum said was Robin's guitar style. I don't think it is because those words mean loud and harsh and harmful to the ears. Robin's not that kind of a guitar player. Better and TWAT for example doesn't fit those descriptions.

Robin only does the solo on The General lol it would be pretty funny to see Robin try to play the drums and sing. Though Robin did sing at Rock in Rio with Guns N Roses. Remember? And Robin sounded pretty cool singing then.
#59 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 86 weeks ago
Listened last week. Thank you to the forum member who shared them.
I thought Monsters was pretty solid. Would've worked on ChiDem, but now I'd rather just have a straight ahead rock song from them.
As for The General... perhaps the saddest thing, is finding out that during the years when GN'R fans were being starved of new music and also being denied a reunion, that this is what he was doing in the studio.
It took a lot of courage and support for Axl to write and sing a song about abuse. I think The General is better than Monsters because of Axl's emotional gutsy singing combined with Robin's solo. A great combo for Chinese Democracy. And I never wanted a reunion. I wanted Chinese Democracy 2 and Chinese Democracy 3 instead of a reunion.
#60 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 86 weeks ago
Hi guys. I'd like to expand my thoughts on The General. The General I think is a demo from 2006. A demo from those uncirculated 06 batch of discs. And that there is many demos of The General like there was for Better and TWAT. Slash uses a Les Paul guitar to record songs in studio with a low rumble. The guitar used on the solo of The General was a Super Strat guitar on the high end. Robin Finck uses a Super Strat guitar on the high end to record Chinese Democracy songs in studio. I believe the solo on The General is Robin. And I believe the version of The General on the vinly release will be the reworked unheard Slash version unless Robin was able to make a deal with Axl behind the scenes to get his solo from The General to stay in on the vinyl release. But since Slash is still in the band and on the live tour that is probably highly unlikely. But at least I have another Robin Finck gem in my hands from the Chinese Democracy era the mythical and legendary long sought after GNR song for years called The General.
