They have becoming a touring band plain and simple , with zero indication that they plan on recording new music. I’ve come to this realization and it doesn’t bother me.
But for others it doesn’t help that Slash and Duff also drop (bullshit) hints that they plan to release new music soon.
On the production stuff, that’s on Axl. He keeps on using Caram as the producer for these songs.

It also turned out that he had 15-20 songs that were fully fleshed out songs . And that 3 discs worth of material that we heard about for years in the late 2000s was total bullshit.
I almost wish he weren’t so fucking lazy and would work on these (or any new songs) w/ Slash and Duff.
This is probably the most interesting one in terms of music and strong vocals. Still think the lyrics and chorus need to be tightened up but that’s nitpicking.

I’ve bought all 6 new song on iTunes but I haven’t bothered with any of these physical releases. I’m happy to fork over $15 for a full length CD or whatever they cost these days.
this is one area where I would just go digital and not bother with the disc/LP. It’s a lot easier for me to just listen to it via ITunes (or whaterver digital music service) especially since the sound quality is similar.

Netflix just bought Warner Bros (which includes HBO and HBO Max). Another nail in the coffin of the theater going experience, cinema and probably physical media.
They have already indicated that they will shorten the window that new movies will be shown in the theater /cinena.
oh your Netflix rates are probably going to increase because of this.
Two of the major film companies (MGM and now Warner Bros) are owned by “streamers” now (Amazon and Netflix). We never knew how good we had it (70s-mid 2000s) in terms of movies.
I kind of get sad when I watch these older movies and the company that made them is now defunct (like Tri-Star pictures) or owned by a media conglomerate (Universal now a Comcast company)
#5 Re: Guns N' Roses » Atlas » 27 hours ago
I think the comparison to Catcher is very good (to a point). The leaks with Brian May on sound both sound crisp and uncluttered, and the released versions sound over cooked, cluttered and somehow lifeless. But Catcher at least is not ruined by a cripplingly loud bass stem that buries everything else.
You know I never really thought that the Catcher (version that got released on CD) was totally inferior to the leak. Yeah, I don’t care for the cut and pasted Bumblefoot guitar parts but fundamentally the song is similar enough to the leak (maybe 60-70%) that you can enjoy it and be ok with it.
It’s not the case with Atlas which sounds like a sonic mess with the loud bass mixed in.

Nothin is def better of the two tracks . It’s quite different from what they usually release. I like the “chill vibe”.
The vocals sound pretty good . I wonder when they were recorded.
#7 Re: Guns N' Roses » Atlas » 2 days ago
I’ll be harsh . This thing blows when compared to the leaks version. This version just feels sped up. And I prefer the older version with May which allowed it breath more and the song felt more organic.
This one definitely got “catchered”. This one is definitely one that got way too overheated as a leftover.

Because the organization is not only inept/incompetent, they're on record as detesting the hardcore base. We're the infamous "pond scum" unworthy of new music.
They can fuck something up (par for the course) and instead of any repercussions for the fuck up, they can sit back and get joy out of what they're doing.
They could even do this amateur hour shit on purpose.... because there's zero repercussions for doing so.
It's NOT a coincidence that every single thing that isn't the touring machine run by Live Nation is always bungled.
This is why you should just treat them as a touring band and that’s it. I don’t really know how to really express this next point . But outside of that touring band they are basically dead, in terms of everything else . Fan interaction. Releasing any unreleased material and just giving a shit about their fanbase .
Megadeth is releasing their last album next year and I think they are including some cover from Ride the Lightning as coming full circle in his career. I haven’t really listened to anything outside of the 90s stuff. But he has my attention just on treating me as something more than revenue .
Which is what GNR treats their fanbase as. Once you realize this is what their game is you get less annoyed . If they don’t give a shit , why should you? Slash and Duff are complicit in this as well btw. They are happy to ride the reunion gravy train and rake in the profits and watch it burn.
I've said it for years...I feel sorry for the younger generations of fans who never got to experience what the real GNR was like. They really missed out.
This is one of those you had to be there things. I mean you can watch the YouTube clips but it’s not the same because the world was different and they were like 360 degrees different from this current mess.
For those younger fans: find musicians (old, young , dead , alive etc) that move you and releases material and interacts with the fan base.
I’m not saying stop listening or enjoying GNR but there are other musicians worthy of your time and energy that don’t treat you like pond scum.

Per the official Twitter page..it was in the reply fir f'd sake.
"Apologies for the delay in the music release today. Due to unforeseen technical issues with our distribution partners, the tracks Nothin’ & Atlas are not available everywhere just yet. We’re working diligently to resolve this ASAP. The songs will be available everywhere very soon."I wondered where they were. I logged on to have a listen
That's a bit embarrassing for the band
Same here. I thought it was maybe getting released later on today.
I think they are immune to the word embarrassing at this point. Guess it was “streaming and digital services providers” turn to take the fall for this latest mishap.
I’ve read that the remaining living members of the Faces have recorded an album and will be released in 2026 sometime. First time since the 70s.
I bet that comes out before these 2 singles.

Hegseth should step down. Least qualified Secretary of Defense in history. Go back to TV buddy.
I wouldn't doubt it about Kash. Dude live tweets active investigations
Has special security for his girlfriend. See you in Vahala lmao.
Like what is this time line. And how do people still support this circus.
You have to be totally insane or a partisan hack to support this garbage.
There’s not enough room to document all the awful and idiotic things he’s done.
Marco Rubio is a crappy SOS. But he looks worlds better when compared to these other clowns he has running these departments. RFK Jr, Noem, Linda Mchmahon (LOL), Kash Patel, Hegseth.
No one can say with a straight face , unless you are super rich , that your life as an American is better now than it was a year ago.
