Slither                                   Better
Come On, Come In                Chinese Democracy
You Got No Right                    If the World
Fall to Pieces                         There Was a Time

Sucker Train Blues                 IRS
Messages                              #2
The Last Fight                        Madagascar


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

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.

#9045 Re: Guns N' Roses » What if the leaks (all of them) never happened? » 940 weeks ago

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

#9046 Re: Guns N' Roses » Time Magazine considers the leaks Chinese Democracy » 940 weeks ago

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.

#9047 Re: Guns N' Roses » Time Magazine considers the leaks Chinese Democracy » 940 weeks ago

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.

#9050 Re: Guns N' Roses » Where are the AFD on Steroids songs » 940 weeks ago

Chinese Democracy the Song is the only that is remotely close to Appetite Style that we have heard so far and its an old song.  So that must be the song he speaks of.  I wish Zakk was on a few songs.
