Guns N' Roses (Yes and Chinese Democracy, so don't make other threads on it.) (lyrics, bass)

The gnr song catcher is the rye is really good.


Catcher in the Rye

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the old folk's say
But every time I’d see them
Makes me wish I had a gun

If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
Guess I'd have more fun

Ooh the Catcher in the Rye again
Ooh won't let ya get away from his gun
It's just another day like today

You decide
If I don't have to
Then they'll find
And I won't ask you
At anytime
Or long thereafter
If it's cold outside
I’m imaging
How it’s gonna be
All alone

(Solo)

Ooh the Catcher in the Rye again,
Ooh won't let ya get away from his gun
It's just another day like today

When all is said and done
We're not the only ones
Who look at life this way
That's what the young folk's say
As if they'd ever change
That's not whom I to say
But every time I'd see them
Makes me wish I had a gun
If I thought that I was crazy
Well I guess I'd have more fun
It's what used to be's not there for me
And ought to find someone that belonged insane like I do

Not at all (repeat)

On an ordinary day
Not in an ordinary way
All at once this song I heard
No longer would it play for anybody
Or anyone
That needed comfort from somebody
Needed comfort from someone who cared
To be
Not like you
Unlike me
And then the boy took that away
From me
So that it set the wheels in motion
Haunts our memories
You were the instrument
You were the one
How a body took the body
Gave that boy a gun
Took our innocence
Beyond our stance
Some type of moment
There we got it
All alone with her (hurt?) today

Isn't there supposed to be a song with Brian May - from what I hear on the Radio this is an amazing song!!!

[TheBig3]

So its appearing to me that most UYI fans think II is better than I. Can I just get a casual opinion on this one?

[TheBig3]

Ok well that really didn't answer my question but Ill ask another one you seem to be able to get, what is axls preference for people who shred? I mean I owe 6 buckethead albums and I love the guy, but he's not the reincarnation of Keef. And if you're making gnr, you need to have someone who thinks keef is the ****.

For one, Slashs style isn't anything like Keiths, his style is more influenced by Angus Young and Brad Whitford than anyone else. And they in turn are likely to be more influenced by Brian Jones and Mick Taylor than Keith. Since Keith can't solo.

Slash is a lead player. Keith is predominately a rhythm player, he plays lead too, but his best moments are always in his rhythm playing. Izzy is more like Keith than Slash.

[TheBig3]

it was more in asthetic perception. Keef keeps the stones grounded from taking off into ridiculous stupidity in my opinion. As we've seen, without the Slahsh-anchor, Gun's is trying to be a NIN/Queen combo.

[boo boo]

I don't think its a good thing. Musically, Slash was the main event in Guns N Roses, and Izzy was the one that held everything together.

Now they have Ron Thal (a super shredder and virtuoso) on guitar, Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails) on guitar, Tommy Stinson (The Replacements) on bass and Brain Mantia (Primus) on drums, not a bad ensemble. But it ain't GnR.

[TheBig3]

Oddly enough, Axl is the Tony Soprano of the music industry and I can understand why he wants GnR to be so great, but why not show up on other people's projects or produce or get a side gig. Do something old me, but get that voice out there.

Axl Rose Heralds New Guns N' Roses Album
May 8, 12:07 PM EST

The Associated Press

NEW YORK -- Rock recluse Axl Rose made a surprise radio appearance to proclaim that Guns N' Roses' 10-years-in-the-making "Chinese Democracy" album will finally hit store shelves this fall.

The comments Saturday on Eddie Trunk's syndicated radio show marked the first interview the painfully private Rose has given since his failed 2002 comeback tour, which was abruptly scrapped midway amid riots and canceled shows.

Rose's impromptu appearance came when former Skid Row frontman Sebastian Bach, who was co-hosting the show, called Rose's cell phone and patched the call through the studio.

Quizzed on when the near-mythical album would come out, Rose said, "Sometime this fall or late fall." His band could be heard rehearsing in the background. "It will be out this year."

Trunk invited Rose to drop by the studio, and about an hour later he did.

Asked about the aborted 2002 comeback tour, which ended when Rose failed to appear for a gig in Philadelphia, Rose told Trunk he felt pressured into doing it before he was ready. But he insisted he has no regrets, since the short-lived tour helped the new band members to gel. (The 2002 lineup included keyboard player Dizzy Reed from the original GNR, former Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck, bassist Tommy Stinson from the Replacements, guitar shredder Buckethead, drummer Brian "Brain" Mantia, formerly of Primus, guitarist Richard Fortus from the former Psychedelic Furs and Love Spit Love, and keyboard player Chris Pittman.)
