#404 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl Rose at his best » 264 weeks ago
I was at that Dublin 2010 show. Well, a bit of it. That was the one where they were on late, the idiots running the venue let people take bottles into the floor area, and some idiots threw those bottles at the stage.
Axl stormed off in a huff, the crowd looked like it was getting a bit St. Louis, so I decided to bail.
And then Axl came back out on the stage and performed the entire show standing in one spot, he was that pissed off. And gave one of his best vocal performances as a result.
Oops.

Part of me, the positive part, thinks these two songs and EP could be LLAS part deux. A couple of tracks from a prior band…knock knock Hollywood Rose…knock knock Axl’s Orchestra…then a new album from the current band…which includes remaining big guns from Chinese plus fully original songs. I am not buying that these two new tracks are the end and it will be a 100% second half Chinese.
I also think it may come by year end.
Interesting thought. It does seem logical, doesn't it? Reworking some Chinese leftovers is a quick way to get some tracks out there while you crack on with a new album, keeps the fans sated etc etc.

Oh, I like Melissa's "oo-oo" vocals over the slide solo while Axl's going "Ayy-ayy". They should've left that in the studio version.

Oddly Axl's a lot stronger in the choruses than I was expecting (given that there's nowhere to pause for breath) and a little bit shakier on the verses. Still, pretty good debut!

For me on spotify, this is the last song on their New Music Friday playlist which probably isn’t great because there is a decent amount of scrolling to get to it with 30 songs in front of it
On Apple Music it's now the first song on GN'R Essentials. Which is a good thing – they normally stick the most recent single in the top slot, and Absurd is… well, atypical of GN'R's sound, if you're the sort of newbie who's just clicking on it to hear WTTJ and SCOM.

In some ways I miss the Village intro, but it was a bit "self-indulgent Axl," like the overstuffed intros for Chinese Democracy, Riad and TWAT. So it's kinda funny to me that Duff and Slash went, "lol no, fuck that" and now the song just piles straight into the fast section with a drumbeat and bass.
Duff's bass is probably the highlight for me (as it was on Absurd, thinking about it) – I love the little licks he throws in.

I'm liking what Duff's done with the bass line. Absolutely pounding it.
