A very exciting visual feast, that video!

But I'm with you on the song.
It did not grab me.

For such a big band with such a history and it being so long since they released anything, I was expecting better.

Even Slash's own band have better riffs and solos than this. Just not that rocking for a hard rock band.. Didnt hate it mind you. Just a bit nothingy.  

[SteveFord]

It's better with the volume off.

[Sgt. Pepper]

Never really cared for them. I remember not being able to escape hearing Sweet Child every half hour. It got old. Paradise City I loathed. They had a few good ones. The double album single album thing was spread to thin. Never saw them and I’m just fine with that.

The fans will sit through anything to get to the hits, that's how fans are.  Shoulda kept Robin.

This doesn't alter my perception of G&R and I couldn't name one song of theirs except perhaps this one (but don't ask me again tomorrow).

I’ve never been a big G N’R fan.  This new music isn’t changing my opinion.

Axe Pose is a clown.

They will if they follow the Gene Simmons theory of maximizing profits.  Anything for a buck.

People who make money making music trying to make money making music.  What is this world coming to?

Dang, looks like they finally got Izzy back.

I remember Axl saying that he thought Erica Everly and Stephanie Seymour were sisters in a previous life that conspired to screw him over in this life 😆

He was definitely a little nuts, maybe he's matured some.

Thats not Izzy..  His name is Richard Fortus.

[Dub-T-123]

I need to mature some too. Richard Fortus sounds like Latin for a guy who lifts weights with his hog

I believe trying is the key word in the sentence. That was a F A I L .

It's an old song that didn't make the cut on "Chinese democracy". "Meh" about sums it up.

Indeed. I've seen videos of Richard playing outside of GnR and I really liked his style. GnR actually had some awesome guitarists over the years but relatively few people noticed them amongst all the bs that went with the band.

C D was a poo burrito smothered in diarrhea sauce. Just stop you guys, your last century’s news. Who cares about them anymore? Slash needs another LP sig model though. 14 aren’t enough.

Yeah not buying into the new stuff any time soon. I really liked the Use Your Illusion albums, but not too much out of that. I had a good time in 2021 at Comerica Park concert - were in good form to say the least. But I get it why people feel the way they do. I did not like the song @Rabs shared a YT link to. Won’t be catching me jamming to it.

I would say the album's... fair. "There was a time" and "This I love" are pretty good songs. I just don't understand why he'd release it under the GNR monicker, but that's just me.

And a couple billion more people.

Really good player, both on lead and rhythm. I've watched a few rig-rundown type things with him, and he seems like a very cool guy, too.

Remains to be seen if they can put something good together. This business of releasing table scraps from the Chinese Democracy sessions is not doing them any good. It's not like they need the money either, so why sully the brand.

Here is why. Let's say The Rolling Stones announce today they are playing MSG. Tickets go in 2 hours. Mick Jagger announces he's going to play MSG and he sells 2000 tickets.  Same with Guns. Who wants an Axl Rose album, but call it G & R with who gives a toss who's on it an it sells a lot more that Axl Pose and A-sshats.
