Re: Chinese Democracy now $1.99
TWAT is great because for the most part it sounds like GnR. No need to complicate it with analysis.
It sounds "like GN'R"? In reference to what exactly? What is the baseline "sound" there you're referring to and who exactly determines that is the definitive or baseline sound for GN'R?

It's as close to a UYI epic as you can get without actually having the UYI lineup.
Re: Chinese Democracy now $1.99
And also Ali, let's not start that "who defines GN'R sound" argument, because it's beyond stupid.
We all know what Guns founded themselves on blues-rooted hard rock. Done. The world looks at it that way, it's their legacy, and it's a big reason that almost everyone outside of a fuckin' fan forum's reaction to CD was "what the hell is this shit?". TWAT & TIL are probably the closest out of the whole album to sounding like real GN'R songs.

When I first heard Robin's solo, it was like nails on a chalkboard t my ears, but it slowly began to grow on me, and now I love it. And you're right, it fits the mood of the song completely.
No doubt Slash would have come up with something great too, but Robin did a very admirable job there too.
I don't HATE Robin's solo either. I don't really hate anything he did, other than butchering the old songs live. His work in SOD & Better & TWAT is quite decent.
I just think GN'R could've done alot better. ALOT BETTER, in terms of recruitment. Let's be honest, the only reason Robin got the call was because Axl had such a hard on for NIN.
I don't care what Axl thinks, a "Pride & Glory"-era Zakk Wylde would've been alot better fit for GN'R in the late 90's.

She knows what it means. It was a weak attempt to bait me into a discussion hoping she'd win one eventually.

You're freakin' deaf
TWAT is the most old Guns sounding song on the whole album
HUh? The first half of the song fits better with Linkin Park than anything GNR ever put out in 87-91.
The rest, Robin's Solo then Bucket's, is pretty Goddamn original to this line up. The only GNR song I could compare it to is Sympathy for the Devil.
If you want to get technical you could say it was reminiscent of Jungle and NR... But then again, not really. TWAT sounds nothing like old GNR.
And please, other posters have done nothing but try to bait arguments here with stupid, childish, lame, arrogant posts and remarks meant solely to piss off certain people who like the new line up. You want it to stop? Start nipping it in the bud when ANYONE tries to provoke an argument.
