Newfoundfreedom Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 First new single from Guns N Roses original lineup (minus Steve Adler and Izzy Stradlin) in about 30 years. I'm a massive GNR fan. For me Appetite For Destruction is the greatest album of all time. Having said that, I'm really not sure about this new single. Maybe needs a few more listens, or the context of a few other tracks to see what kind of direction the band is heading. Absurd. https://youtu.be/Perh45ip3fY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor J Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 [quote]Producer: W. Axl Rose[/quote] AFD is sublime. This track is not. There is much to say in favour of a good producer, rather than a member of the band, to offer perspective and guidance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thodrik Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I will give it a listen after work, which will either give me something to look forward to after a difficult week, or something to give me a good laugh after a difficult week.

ubit Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 I have to admit to being a bit of a snob when it comes to GnR. I saw the original (and to my mind best) lineup at Donnington and any line up without Izzy isn't the real deal for me. It's a little known fact that Izzy was one of the major songwriters in that band and I have all of his solo albums. Also I loved Velvet Revolver and saw them a few times. Fair enough death kind of puts an end to any reunion plans in that direction but I just feel that this current line up is for making money. Ive read all of their books and they swore they wouldn't get back together. I know all artists are in this to make money but they were doing ok without this flogged to death line up. I remain unconvinced. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naigewron Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Good lord, this was... well, crap. In the words of a mate of mine: "The vocals ruin what could have been just a really bad song" And what the hell is up with that ambient bridge that just suddenly fades in? 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CookPassBabtridge Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Only one listen but doesn’t sound great. Vocals are a bit weird and that section around the 2.09 minute mark reminds me of the intro to ‘Love Story’ by Taylor Swift! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newfoundfreedom Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 (edited) Actually. If you were reading it in "Cyrillic" (The "Russian" alphabet actually comes from Bulgaria) It would be AVSTSYAD. There is no letter "u". The nearest thing in shape would be "ц", pronounced TS, and the "B" would be pronounced V. Edited August 6, 2021 by Newfoundfreedom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldon Tyrell Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Alright, big fan of GnR since 1987's Appetite for Destruction. Well, what can I say. The title says it all. I actually liked the first few seconds, until the scream. The rest is pretty crap. Who is on vocals? Johnny Rotten? Not sure what happened to GnR. Maybe it has something to do with this: Guns N' Roses launch official line of bongs and smoking accessories (nme.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remain unconvinced. Deffo, no Izzy, no G'n'R. That band died in the early 90's. They were my favourite band but I think it's best left in the past. They were about being young and dangerous. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvin Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 It's poor, and that's being kind. I agree with the points made regards Izzy. He gave the band its songwriting swagger. Without Izzy it's just not G'n'R. I'd love to see Adler back, but I think considering the beating he's given his body and mind with drug abuse he's simply not up to the task. Sometimes it's best just to call it a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
