Both fall way short on being great.

Axl on Sucker Train Blues would be awesome. Slash on TWAT would be awesome.

So GN'R wins 6/9, with Gn'R only have 9 tunes to pick 9 from, and VR having about 30? GN'R is clear winner.

Shit, I forgot Come on Come in! Good one! This is cool to see what everyone thinks.

Hmmmm, I changed your VR songs (would add in Pills Demons, For a Brother over some of them) so I'd say:

You Got No Right <<< The Blues
Slither <<< Better
Sucker Train Blues <<< Chinese Democracy
Messages >>> Madagascar
The Last Fight >>> Song #2
Fall To Pieces >>> If the World
For a Brother >>> I.R.S.
Pills Demons etc === TWAT
American Man >>> Ryaid

I think most will agree with the GNR top 3 being Better, The Blues, and Chinese Democracy. Your VR substitutions look good to me. I like all three of those songs.

I'll add my thoughts later, but I must be the only person who thinks that "Messages" totally sucks.

Still blows away Madagascar.

Since everyone else wants to review this like a finished album, its fair game to compare these songs. now.

It was tough to narrow the VR songs down to just 9. I think several songs are as good as Set Me Free including Superhuman, American Man and Dirty Little Thing.

Best VR songs: New GNR songs:

You Got No Right The Blues
Slither Better
Sucker Train Blues Chinese Democracy
Messages Madagascar
The Last Fight Song #2
Fall To Pieces If the World
Set Me Free I.R.S.
Let It Roll TWAT
Just Sixteen Ryaid

What do you guys think? I could have added Silkworms, but it probably won't make the album. I really don't see a big difference one way or another. You Got No Right could be an old school GNR type song. Its really a great tune. You Got No Right and the Blues are two songs that seem old school GNR to me, or at least share common ground. Sucker Train Blues is pretty much an Appetite sounding song but with Weiland's vocals instead of Axl's. I think VR's stuff is just as good as current GNR's and they took a lot less time to create, which isn't part of the question, but still, nothing rocks as hard as Slither and Sucker Train Blues on the new GNR type stuff.

With no leaks, we would really have to rely on fucking Bach for information. Thank God we have leaks.

Its sux for the band. The longer you "wait" the more likely shit like this happens. If you wait forever to attack someone, one day they will just attack your ass.

He was generous with his grades considering some songs sucked and still gave a B or B+. Again from a non fan too, MADDY IS BORING AS FUCK!

I heard this song today on my way home and it reminded me of a new GNR song with the piano and a guitar virtuoso on guitar. Only difference is that this song was focused, the band had chemistry, and the guitar solo fit the song. I could Imagine Axl coming up with a very similar sound, which maybe shows this music isn't so new anyway... Thoughts?

This song should be the warm up song for Axl's management in the negotiations to release this album.. Right Now.
