That’s kinda my point, why do you all want to hear her singing so much?
Because she's a singer...and she's in the band.
I'd also like to see her be allowed to write something for them but we all know they're unlikely to work on anything from scratch.
You must really hate bands with multiple singers.
We’re not talking about that though. She’s already singing backing vocals which is fine.
But you guys are saying she should trade vocal lines with Axl, and that I don’t agree with. Keep Axl up front. Even Duff’s singing is kept to a minimum.
As for her bringing songwriting, why would you want that when you have Axl, Slash and Duff writing songs LOL

I still LOL at all of you wanting to hear Melissa singing instead of Axl.
Even a full blown Mickey Mouse Axl is better than having Melissa singing.
Axl is the voice of GN’R. Not Melissa Reese

I doubt she can pull out raspy vocals any more than Axl can these days.
I don’t want to hear her trading lines with him. I’d rather Axl is out breath and Mickey than going down that route

Absolutely no one said this
LOL really? There’s a post saying about her trading lines with Axl so he doesn’t run out of breath

I’m glad it’s doing well I guess. But the song is still a mess. I listened to it like 5-6 times on repeat driving to get lunch on Friday. And the more I listened to it, the more angry I got about how half assed the song is. One verse and one chorus just repeated, a boring uninspired Slash solo (with bits of Finck’s original parts kept in underneath), and a terrible mix. It’s just fucken amateur hour really.
If they were gonna give a big push and effort to a decent Chinese leftover, they should’ve done it with Hardskool.

Holy fuck.
We're eventually getting an album aren't we?!?
It's too much promotion (money) for simply launching one song + a B side.
It has to be leading to something.
I don’t put any faith in this band following through with something like that.
It’d be nice if that happened. But just because we get this, doesn’t mean we get that.
This is usually the most dysfunctional band ever, don’t forget.

“I've been so upset
Harboring this hate for daysHey, my sense of rejection
Hey, hey
Is no excuse for my behavior, hey
You pulled the gun, hey, hey
That shot and crucified my saviorNow he is no more and I am without you
Just like I was before
The way I used to be”I love this bit. Axl should get more credit for his songwriting
I think those lyrics are pitiful woe is me rubbish.
Axl can write great lyrics. The above isn’t an example of that.
#88 Re: Guns N' Roses » Perhaps (2023) to Drop » 115 weeks ago
Sorry to rain on everyone’s parade here, but I just feel like the release of Perhaps is a summation of everything that is wrong with GN’R today. Axl in control of everything, hence the song only has one verse and one chorus repeated, then Slash phones it in for the solo, then they put out an actual accompanying video that looks pretty damn good, even though the song itself is pretty average, and still they haven’t actually acknowledged the release or even said anything officially. It’s like they just let the hardcore fans look into it all and find out about it ourselves. It’s either genius marketing from Team Brazil, or completely shithouse marketing. And I’m leaning towards shithouse…

Well… let’s see how they fuck that up too… 
#90 Re: Guns N' Roses » If GNR releases nothing in 2023, is this the end for you? » 116 weeks ago
I want to hear that Back and Forth Again demo with Axl whistling.
The way he whistles over that guitar in the Making of Estranged doco, it could’ve been GN’Rs next Patience type of song. Shame it never turned out like that
