It feels good to be back.
On mygnr, your avatar was Charilie Sheen right?
Yes Charlie is my alter ego role model.
But I lost that thumbnail so I was using Vince Vaughan for a while. I just bin drinking whisky boilermakers for a few hours now so any decision I make will be full of epic mistakes.

On the remaining tracks:
Madagascar is perfect on this disc.
It's by far the best version of the title track too.
Perhaps is more difficult because it's still fresh, but it's fantastic.
However I think May's Catcher is one of the best tracks Axl ever worked on (excluding the album version) and this Blues may be Axl's best work full stop.
I'm shocked the blues isn't making the final 2. Also bewildered that the current band never plays it live, out of all the Chinese Democracy tracks they do play.

Maybe at this point it is just what song you like because the production issues aren’t there.
I voted The Blues mainly because it’s never grabbed me lyrically but it’s kind of like the single. But CD turned it more into high water mark of Axl’s ringtone layer style. So much to unpack in final version, wrapped tightly. It probably suffered the most by being CD’d. Having to sit with ITW and sound right really worked against it’s natural traditional expected production treatment. With Slash it would have just been an Elton Rose ballad from UYI.

Voting closed.
Somehow The Blues has been eliminated.
