[binnie]

Here's the tunes that have been circulating for two weeks or so, what do you all think?

Better (sounds like a demo to me, drum wise at least.)

I.R.S (set to final fantasy footage for some reason)

Better sounded much heavier when I saw Axl do it live: here's some proshot footage from Rock am Ring 2006

[Hardrock69]

It is NOT Runs 'n' Goses.

That band ceased to exist over a decade ago.

It is a lame Runs 'n' Goses cover band with the old lead singer, Axle Grease.
:rolleyes:

[binnie]

I agree entirely that it's not G'N'R, but I still quite like this material.

It's a tragedy that's he's still using the name, but the material is really strong in my opinion.

Axl can still pen a fine tune, a more "mature" sound and style, but pretty decent nonetheless.

[BASTAGE]

I was surprised that I liked some of the new "GnR" material. I pretty much gave up on them around 1988.

[ELVIS]

That first song was pretty cool until that pitch corrected fake sounding high note came up...

And the guitarist does a pretty fair Slash...

Not bad...

[Cult of Roth]

The band doesn't sound too bad, some of those songs are actually kind of interesting.

Axl's voice is pretty hit or miss in some of those songs though. I hardly recognized him on some of those.

Could be decent, but definitely not G'n'R.

[ELVIS]

I listened to all of it...

Some good moments, I guess, but nothing to write home about...

Oh well...


:elvis:

[binnie]

I know what you mean.

I think the album will definately be a grower, rather than an instant love.

But nothing could fullfil the expectation around it....

[jero]

But worth waiting a decade?

No.

No new music could fulfil that expectation.

The tunes are decent enough though.

[Terry]

Some of it sounds decent...not QUITE worth 10 years + and $10 million + of effort, though.
