But I do think there's a decent chance that Atlas in final form, as in, the one that almost made Chinese would/will sound quite a bit different to 2000 version we've heard! Well, I do believe CD2 was in "final form" as in ready to be released around the time the 2008 album was. It's more of a matter of did NITL touch it or not? I don't think they worked on Hard Skool, Absurd, Perhaps, The General, and Monsters because they needed to be finished, rather, they just wanted their playing on it since they are currently in the band.

I like the song too, the vocals I don't have an issue with, even if they're not exactly what you'd call traditionally good, especially from Duff, but I wouldn't change it personally. my favorite part of the song is Slash's leads with that tone Edited March 22 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it doesn’t ruin the song for me and I love the piano part in it too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the worst song at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lead tone alone makes this song worth listening to. The tune really is pretty cool musically, vocals are the worst part and bring it down.

downzy Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 Looks like Pink Floyd is getting similar backlash to GNR with respect to AI in their videos: https://petapixel.com/2024/04/09/fury-as-ai-video-wins-competition-held-by-pink-floyd/ Interesting discussion happening right now as to when and where computer generation is appropriate. I think some artists can get away with it (particularly EDM artists) where computer technology has long been associated the art form. I don't think AI is something that works all too well with classic rock artists. It just feels like jumping on the bandwagon as a means to recapture relevancy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO because it all feels like an already outdated esthetic. Not as cool as 60s Beatles, but just some trippy-ish noise that people will find it (even more) ridiculous in the future. Kind of like this very 2000s visuals: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of those things you figure artists would know by now to avoid what are obvious trends that, if they're not already out style, soon will be. And yeesh, that Lincoln Park video is brutal to watch now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time was at work, so I couldn't fully immerse myself in it. The second time, which was recent, I was at home, and not sober, so it was much better. (But still not great) Overall, the Perhaps video is better, however, Fernando being in the Perhaps video took it down a notch, not as much as Slash's guitar solo though. It needed to be in a higher note, didn't match the song. It was nice they kept two seconds of Robin, and the very last bit of Slash's solo sounded alright.

2020_Intensions Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Love So Fine. Listen to it a lot. I never watched and never will The General music video. Probably will never listen to it again either (saying that after all these years is such a crazy thing) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't wanna hear it ever again but I can't find the heart to get rid of it. XD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
