Obviously the information can be wrong and if you trust your source which seem very reputable i withdraw my Nothin' being Down By The Ocean claim. Obviously you have a better source and i know you're a reputable poster.
A description of the song would be nice.
Ha. It was a short clip a long time ago. It really wasn't that exciting, but it didn't sound like Nothing.
I'll ask my wife tomorrow,.she might remember it better than me.
Do you remember if it had vocals at all?

If there is somewhere a 00s Bucket version of Nothin, I really hope we get a chance to hear it one day.
#3 Re: Guns N' Roses » Atlas » 2 days ago
Yeah 1 listen in, and they have not elevated this song beyond the earlier sessions sadly. First thing that jumped out was Duff is very prominent and busy. Will give it a few more spins before I make any final calls. So who's drumming do we know?
I think it's worse than that that, it's been downgraded.
The versions we heard from 00/01 sounded good to me but after letting this song sink in for a few years I think it did need something else like a bridge section, maybe a different outro section or just something.
This delivered none of that and made it worse, this version sounds so messy and cluttered, very similar to leak Catcher vs Album Catcher. I actually think it's worse than that because at least Catcher as a song is pretty complete and good. Atlas, still needed something extra, didn't get that and got downgraded across the board.
Also, hearing dueling guitar solos from Robin and Slash in the left and right channels at the end is bizarro world stuff.

Seems like something Izzy could come up with. The big thing that goes against it is the demo had no mention of bodies of water in the lyrics. What are the writing credits?
I haven't seen credits anywhere. I know what you mean about island sounding lick
Per YouTube
Producer, Vocalist: Axl Rose
Mixing Engineer, Producer, Engineer: Caram Costanzo
Additional Engineer: Eric Caudieux
Background Vocalist: Duff McKagan
Composer Lyricist: Guns N' Roses
Just a hunch, but I doubt Izzy is getting screwed on writing credits, even with the current bad blood between the two camps.

Nothin is an absolute gem. Wow.
Atlas, it got Catcher'd worse than Catcher. That is one that was just way way way way too long in the oven.
#6 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nothin' » 2 days ago
Did you all see that the presale code for the tickets is ATLAS.
Not joking.
#7 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nothin' » 3 days ago
This whole thing is just such a weak ass failure. It's sad.
No one made them announce this release a week ago. Honestly, no fans were expecting it. It's just baffling levels of incompetent.
#8 Re: Guns N' Roses » Nothin' » 3 days ago
They really did follow through on releasing Nothing. 
Joking aside, this failure actually annoys me
more than any other.
At least when it was “Album coming next year in March 2007” or “There are 20 Tuesdays left in the year” or whatever, it wasn’t a firm set date. It was somewhat tentative, it was months away. It was understood that obviously they had some shit still to do between now and then…. then they just screwed that up.
This time they announced a set date with one week notice. If you weren’t ready to release today then surely you must have known a week ago that certain things weren’t done and that you wouldn’t have time to do them in one week. So why announce it then?
This is actually a bigger fail in some ways than any beforehand. If they aren’t ready today to release, then surely they knew that a week ago when they chose to announce that they would release today. No one made them do that or was honestly expecting it at this point.
This band has been such a fucking disappointment since I got into them almost 20 years ago.

UMG Japan posted about 10 hours ago saying the release is delayed.
Seen some straw grasping that in theory if it releases in US after 10am ET, that’s Dec 3rd in Japan so that would be a delay because the original post in Japan said Dec 2.
We’ll see on that one but the announcement of this release has been so low key that it wouldn’t shock me that this band fails to release music.
Also, don’t know anything about Beta’s daughter but I don’t see any reason to call her a shit person and be misogynistic about her. Feels uncalled for.

Can someone remind me - is 'soul monster' now 'monsters'?
Technically we don't know that officially but that would be the educated guess.
