The version I heard of checkmate was a clip so hopefully the rest of the song is better . I think musically it sounds good. I just expected more out of axl.

Check out the you tube video for chinese democarcy song.

I think this song has some potential. I think the studio version may be great.

Wow, "Better" live seems like it's a million times better than the studio version. Assuming the Harley commercial is using the studio version, it lacks any speck of energy compared to it live.

stonetemplejam · October 2006

yeah I agree it sounds so much better live. They need to rerecord it and show this much emotion. Also, the new lead guitarist is better I think. Hopefully the real song on the ablum sounds more like the live version.

I've been watching the hell out of the Rock Am Ring DVD I downloaded. Damn I can't wait until next Sunday...

The dueling lead guitars on TWAT are some of coolest shit I've heard in awhile
The live version kills the vocals, but watching the guitar work is impressive

nah, I think it's just that the Black Sheep commercial has a funny mix because they have to balance the music with the other sounds in the video. So I wouldn't judge to much on the energy and whatnot from that clip. I've actually yet to hear a version of Better live where it has been NAILED.

That is my favourite version i've heard of that song

To be honest, if you really think about the pull towards this band, what Axl Rose is trying to do, if he pulls it off, releases this album, and puts them back on the map to the point where they can sell out Huge Stadiums again, it's pretty impressive - A band that famous, to break it up, rebuild it, and come 3/4 circle is such a unique thing, I was trying to think of another band/artist that has done this, using the same name, and was having a hard time.

Anyway, a lot ( or all) depends upon this album. If it's as strong as many people think it will be ( myself included) a second history of this band can be written.

That being said, there's just something, still not right. To start this tour, call it the Chinese Democracy tour, and still not release it, let alone release a release date, or release a date to release a release date, not only makes as little sense promotion-wise as anything, it just kinda reminds you that no matter what, this guy is always going to be one confusing dude - ah fuck it - I just want the album out there, like a lot of people, I guess

Ok...I have never owned a GnR album despite liking many of their songs. Since I moved to Iowa concerts are hard to come by, so you guys have inspired me and I purchased tix to the Iowa show. It better be good.

By the way, thanks to whoever posted links to their new songs...helped me make my decision.

Six days until I see them in NJ. I'm starting to get restless!

ya and merck (gnr's manager) has stated that there are only ten tuesdays left (he said this like 2 wks ago, so now its like 8 left) until the end of the yr. Meaning the CD should come out on one of those tuesdays. He also said they could just release the thing without even announcing it. so you could walk into a music store one tuesday and CD will be there. How fuckin sweet would that be?!

Anyone see the setlist that got posted on GNR's official site? It got taken down. But it had these songs as *options for the band to play:

Prostitute (new song, never heard before)
Down on the Farm
Perfect Crime
Nice Boys
If the World (new song, never heard before)

If they play any of these at any of the upcoming concerts that would ROCK!

gnr+pj=2bestever · October 2006

here's the pic of that setlist. If you look closely you can see the songs chosen as *options:

not possible to just release an album out of the blue. if they dont announce anything in the next 2 weeks or so then its looking like 2007 release.

Limp Bizkit did it. Yes, their album flopped, but that was because it sucked major ass.

If GNR's album is good, then it shouldn't flop if it is released in this fashion.

Freakin' AWESOME!!!

I can't wait

Let's hope it does get released this year and it doesn't end up being a promise for the next. How long have we been hearing the release rumors of this album? a decade? haha

I'm keeping my fingers crossed this year is THE year

Well I'm getting excited since I'll be seeing the show tonight in Greensboro and my friend that I'm going with sent me this and I think it's a very interesting read and a great insight of the current state of the band. It's by Del James, so any long-time fan should recognize his name and know his connection to the band.

what a shame that the guitar melodies of slash were not appreciated by everyone in the band

Too bad nobody cares about his guitar melodies in Slash's Snakepit and/or Velvet Revolver. Just goes to show, Axl was the REAL glue and mastermind of the band. Not dissing slash, cause i love him, but it's the truth.

Only 8 tuesdays left in the yr.

I just was listening to this acoustic version of November Rain and thought I'd share it since its alot better IMO than the final version that was released.
