One other thing...You guys are analyzing this songs as if they were FINISHED versions. Saying things like 'it sounds hollow' etc...Proper mix & mastering will fix that kind of thing.
I actually heard IRS on the radio today and it was OK - I think the negativity going around is people are saying they waited this long for Chinese Democracy and we are just now getting rough demoes? WTF - finish the freakin album already so we can move on with our lives.
"This guy back here is giving me the ole one more....one more back to you buddy."
I still listen to the old stuff from time to time, but gnr's time has come & went a long time ago. This might have been relevent back in the late 90's but just doesn't intrest me now.
Man, i can't agree with that.
The only thing I CAN say is that I PERSONALY would be much more interested if SLASH or ANY OTHER FOUNDING MEMBER was still involved.
That really is a fucking downer to me.
That being said the two new tracks being talked about here are "OK", imho.
They aren't so far gone like "MY WORLD" as I was expecting ...
the ending bit of "better" (the file i downloaded ends around 1:20?) sounds like FACE POLUTION by Soundgarden !?!
weird.
oh well.
any axl is better than no axl, i guess.
:(
i miss slash!
edit: after having given both several listens
i want to comment that the GUITAR WORK IS VERY SIMPLISTIC compared to a lot of the old GnR material ...
you can argue that with me, if you want ... but i've been playing GnR songs on guitar for a while now and these songs are both just sliding a power chord up 3 times over ... chunka-chunka-chunka ... and i do not like the "modern" guitar sound all that much ... this should not sound like POD, for godsake ... I know the chords have to match what axl is singing ... but compared to a song like Don't Damn Me or something ... this is just boring ...
:(
If I was to smile and I held out my hand
If I opened it now would you not understand?
Did I miss these? When I tries to listen, they said they were asked to take them down. Anyone have them, or am I just blind? I would love to hear these, I would appreciate any help.
My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

i know these are just demos, but the album looks verrrrry promising. I've liked every new song ive heard so far: madagascar, the blues, chinese democracy, better, irs, and there was a time. i'm really lookin forward to it if/when it finally gets released.
nope..the next one to leak will be the full version of "Better" or the rumored 3 instrumentals on the demo disc

I just got done listening to 'there was a time', and I gotta say that I am really digging this shit BIG TIME! Demos or not, and long overdue or not, Axl is an amazing lyrycist and composer imho. I was a g-n-r fanatic back in the days before PJ, and this is amazing. Anyone else like it, or am I on the usual lonely island alone again??

Better is the better one, TWAT and Better sound like they are written about Stephanie.
i think the full version of Better is the last of the songs that should be leaked no more, we dont axl pissed off and further delaying the album.
i wonder if the songs came from the NYC club outting, maybe someone there copied them somehow?

i have also heard a studio version of the song chinese democracy. a friend of mine has had two versions of the song for over a year now. he plays me the song every time i see him, but its not very often, so ive only heard it a few times. hope he lets it out now that there are some songs getting out.
only heard like 8 seconds of the studio version of "Chinese Democracy"
so far so good...the live version is pretty good too

2 a : the use of words to express something other than and especially the opposite of the literal meaning.
Not bad for demos.
