persisting with Coma I see... madness
#82 Re: Guns N' Roses » As it began » 116 weeks ago
Interestng - had not heard this or of it being sold. What is the source of that?
While the opening chord and cadence/tempo is the same, it is not the same chord progresssion at all - its a completely different composition essentially; although it certainly does bare some similarity

Always thought this track from the locker leaks stood out as something a bit special that Axl might be able to craft into an epic - very Illusions sounding ...
Anyways, played around in my studio and added some other instruments to it - drums, bass and guitar - was fun...
Very rough and quick but check it out and let me know what you think!

Unless it's a cross-platform, return to glory days bona fide hit, it's hard to see how a new song will get any more asses on seats. And if as we all suspect, Perhaps is the next song, I find that extremely unlikely. Only extreme hard cores seem to care about new music.
I could see an announcement of a new album drumming up interest for sure.
But if it's an amateur hour launch of a new song like everything they have released the last 20 years, I can't see it moving the needle on ticket sales one iota.

Perhaps sounds ok but is hardly progressive stuff and doesn’t sound manifestly better than the version we already have. Slash sounds like he’s phoned the solo in again.

GUNS N' ROSES: 'Worst Glastonbury Headline Set Of All Time'?
U.K.'s Independent calls GUNS N' ROSES' performance at Glastonbury "the worst Glastonbury headline set of all time" and refers to singer Axl Rose as the band's "fatal flaw." The reviewer, Mark Beaumont, writes: "Rose makes the whole thing sound like a Muppet Show pastiche of hard rock. It's his voice: a creature that, were you to take it to a vet, would come home in a cardboard box."https://blabbermouth.net/news/watch-dav … B6DzTL5eqo
I'm still gonna see them on August 18th, but the author isn't wrong and anyone who's watched the band since 2016 knows this to be true. Slither beyond every other song needs to be dropped. He can't sing it. It sounds bad, and there are other songs he can do.
My god that review is brutal but hilarious in a way only the British press can be

Add Coma to the list of songs Axl needs to never sing again. That outro was an absolute disgrace both recent show's I was at. He oscillated between mickey and speaking it. Was an encore which didn't help none either

Slither
Again – the Classic Rock Magazine review points out that Slither was the first song where people started signing along to it (I actually noticed it myself, watching the BBC coverage, because it stood out to me – "the Glastonbury crowd is singing along to a Velvet Revolver track from 2004?"). Personally I'm not a fan of Axl's rendition of the song – he consistently sings "That's the spot/where you run to me" with the wrong emphasis, and he sings a high melody in the chorus. Which is surprising since you'd think Scott's material would lend itself to his much stronger lower register. But it undeniably clicked with that audience.
YCBM needs to go. Acoustic mini-set with Used to Love Her, Patience and You're Crazy would be neat – they're definitely within his lower-register wheelhouse (the first two especially, because if Weiland could sing them with his lower-register voice, Axl surely can).
I actually enjoyed Slither at the 2 shows I saw end of last year.
Bad Obsession was one of the highlights from Glasto from what I saw - not surprising given the band are probably invigorated playing something different and it's in a manageable vocal register for Axl

Wow YCBM sounds dreadful. Needs to be retired - Axl simply can’t sing it. Band and mix sound all over the place too

yes....
yes I am...
I think it's Oklahoma... and it actually sounds like a GN'R song.
Sidenote - just listened to the locker leak of it - what a treat to actually be able to hear Tommy's bass! Completely buried on most the final CD album
