Re: The Positive CD Thread
The guitar parts on the album are by players all playing at different days/years, so where does chemistry come into it?
Re: The Positive CD Thread
love the transition in TWAT, acoustic strumming-very cool Robin solo-then power chord and big chorus leading in to Bucket. If Axl ever decides to try and reinvigorate this thing, he needs to drop TWAT. Screw SOD, if TWAT can't get played on the radio, then call it a day as far as looking for mass appeal.

Re: The Positive CD Thread
I LOVE CHINESE DEMOCRACY
If every song in the record were from different bands all the people will love the tracks, really.
My favorite song so far is Street Of Dreams, but with the ChiDem something funny happen to me, when I keep a track off of my playlist (ipod) n the track returns its like a masterpiece for me.

Favorite cuts on the album - Scraped and Prostitute!
Those are the ones, almost a year later, that still hold up very strong for me.
Scraped has a great melody in my opinion, very aggressive, and a very POSITIVE messege overall. One of the few songs on the record you could imagine late-30's Axl running around on stage with. Axl's vocals sound fresh and crisp. They sound current and they bring out some of the energy and pathos of the UYI vocal efforts.
Prostitute has those great piano parts, the great introduction and outro, and also has the best "arena-rock 70's ballad" sound on the record. It's also a song where Axl's vocals seem fresh. The song has multiple parts / changes, and it really doesn't drag on - it keeps changing things up as it takes you on this argument/thesis of whatever the song's messege is. When Axl hits the high notes it's very, very spooky ('pain') and that's AWESOME. It's almost as if something religious is happening.
(They're also among those I heard the least over the last... 8 years? 9 years?)
