I think the song is one of the more solid rock songs I’ve heard this decade. It doesn’t need a sugary-coated chorus to be a memorable rocker.
Well said, Josh. I agree with your last statement 100%.
It actually sounds like it was written 16 years ago! horrible!
Ok, to me.. It sounds like Days of the New singer Travis Meeks singing with Axl singing backups or something… The song is OK, not great, but ok. I’m curious as to how the rest of the album will sound. Not buying it without at least a full preview.
Oh I have to give credit, the guitar solo sounds about 10 years old.. When did rage break into the scene?
Wow, CD is a rockin song and puts most of the other “rock” songs out there to shame. November 23rd can’t get here soon enough!
They sucked before they suck more now.What junk,they should go hide back under the rock where they have been !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The song rocks, best music in years, seriously.
Whats up with all the F-Bombs below? Are the EW censors not working because we’re discussing a hard rock song instead of a hip-hop release?? I know you fans are excited, but seriously, show some restraint! This song is just okay. Nothing special, unless you count that you’re NOT going to be getting a visit from the FBI for listening to it off a blog or webpage!!! Stop cursing. Would you talk to your mom like that?
Poop.
It sounds like one of the mediocre tracks off the ‘Illusion’ albums. It’s not terrible, but it’s not particularly memorable, either.
I don’t see myself buying this album.
Its going to require a few listens. The AC-DC song really grew on me, and I suspect this will as well.
Anyone with an internet connection heard this album months ago. Axl was part of a great band at one point but that time has passed. It’s over, it’s been over. This CD should have dropped fifteen years ago. Now it’s just dated.
I want people to remember when appetite came out, it was released and it took almost a year before it was liked, welcome to the jungle became a hit after sweet child of mine was released as a single, when I first saw GNR in concert, they opened for Iron Madien and were booed off stage, but once people got use to the sound they loved it, Axl whether you like him or hate him has talent and can write music unlike most of the bands today which are studio produced and built for the masses. Axl writes the way he writes, if you dont like it dont listen, i think its about time real musicians came back and put something out. More than half of the rock bands today grew up on GNR and most of them created there sound from it, eg Hinder (completely copied sweet child riffs) Great song, good to see the real rock sound is back
The guitar sounds good, but I hated the sound of Axl Rose’s voice 20 years ago and I still hate it today!
