I meant to say something different for each one... what feelings do you get from each song

[Randy Jesus]

Chinese Democracy - energy, a cheap thrill. It makes me angry!

Madagascar - an awesome led zeppelin vibe. It is hard to describe this emotion.

The blues - a mellow November Rain with a Queen Vibe. I makes me want to cry my fucking eyes out.

Better - Classic GNR with a twist of POP. It makes me happy.

IRS - Bipolar, the Song Sucks, Then its Awesome, Then it really sucks, Then It is Totally Awesome. It pisses me off.

There was a time - November Rains EVIL TWIN, that rocks hard. It brings out total bliss while making me want to kick ass.

Catcher in the rye - It lacks the feeling of Guns N Roses, but imposes a weird combination of a feeling that you are listening to Queen and the Beatles at the same time.

[anythinggoes]

Chinese Democracy Reminds me of GNR of old something like YCBM

Madagascar Loved this song from the 1st time i heard it on a Rio Bootleg
 
The blues Makes me Remember Axl Jumping on the Piano, Reminds me of Dont Cry/November Rain

Better Always remember Tommy and Axl stamping hard to the Music, love this song, even my daughter sings it

IRS Seeing Beta and Vanessa standing in the background dancing away at MSG

There was a time Love the solo at the end so much,

Catcher in the rye, never been able to find out what it is that made this song sound so familiar


All the new songs are great, spent so many years of my life waiting for this album now, from the time dack in 95-96 that duff mentioned they were in the studio trying some songs out

[CalumFarq]

oh sorry

chinese democracy: i think is a powerful song that really puts forward the concept of the song

madagascar: awesome lyrics and when the guitar kicks in its awesome

The blues: a incredible song that has an amazing structure and is powerful

Better: so catch! my fave leak! i love it! both the solos is kickass

IRS: a really rocky feel to it and axls high voice i awesome!

There was A Time: has an all-around awesome ness! bucketheads and robin solos have so emotion in them

Catcher in the rye: the song with brian may on guitar makes it awesome. axls voice is also amazing

That my feelings of the songs

[zombux]

err... honestly, I played the songs last week, after about half a year of not listening to GNR at all. I felt nothing the chills I got when the songs leaked were gone. I know it's stupid, but this thread is about feelings (I hope)

[wyldechild]

Chinese Democracy I always think of perfect crime or welcome to the jungle.. this song fucking rocks and to me this song is everything I like in music.

Madagascar this song takes me way back to school when some idiots used to bully me. And now  I'm in great shape I can play the shit out of my guitars and I'm a dad and I have great wife and I'm happy but I wouldnt say the same thing about them... but anyway it makes me feel proud of my life...wasnt that a great story 

The blues I think of my cousin who really should take his head out of her arse and stop beating her mouth.. + makes me think of bad times in my life and this is fucking awesome song

Better same thing with maddy..+ I think this is in top 10 greatest songs ever

IRS kickass tune...reminds me of old rockers from GNR and the lyrics are straight from the beginning of one of my relationships so it's cool to listen to it 

There was a time makes me  feel bad 'cos I cant write as good as Axl 


Catcher in the rye I always think of summer when I hear this song..fucking brilliant tune 

[blueheart]

Chinese Democracy: I love its music!!! It's one of the very few songs that I like listening really loud. And for some weird reason it reminds me back of bitch.... and lots of hate 

Madagascar: for me it's one of the best GNR songs ever... my new estranged. Makes me think about the choices I made in difficult periods of my life... makes me appreciate more the people I love having in my life, takes my fears away.

The blues: it says it all... I don't know what I should do... everywhere I go I see you

Better: It makes my mood when I don't feel good. I love the popup!

IRS: it reminds me the money I paid the previous year to IRS  fucking taxes

There was a time: it fucking rules. I love the lyrics, I love the music, I just don't want one day to think that "There was a time" and I missed it all

Catcher in the rye: John Lennon and that damned book that every year I say that I have to read it and I never do

[GGS]

CITR - has like best potential in my book pity we all got a shit quality demo. But that ending bit after going through the emotions of the song is a killer like almost tear jerker sometimes defintely has masterpeice qualities.

Better - is my fav new gnr song i love blasting that sometimes like it's just a party kind of feeling tune when your down  it aint a masterpeice but it's a damn well executed peice.

IRS- bollox song imo can't find anything to like about it.

TWAT - love it second fav song it's like Estranged in epicness i listen to it along with Better the most out of all the leaks.

The Blues - you think the guy can't be serious putting all these songs about heartbreak on one album this is a great song but if he puts it with the rest of the leaked songs it's never going to get the credit it deserves. If he did a With Teeth and had heavy songs and then just slotted this one in it would totally work and everyone will be like DAMN.

Maddy- epic but well repetitive which makes it boring sometimes and takes alot away from it.

Chi-Dem - cool song when it was released updated that was mind blowing but filler material really it's weak as hell once you've listened to it for a few times.

Silkworms - AXL DUDE WTF YOU DOING!! Greatest song ever this what the kids of today wanna hear. Axl Rose laying a verbal smackdown on whiny screamy ho's and 'pussy full of maggots' is like mindblowing as a diss. Your throwing away a million dollars easily if you don't include this song on the albums i'm telling you now a updatedish version of Silkworms let any A&R hear that and they'll prove me right= instant cash and mega hit.

 unfotunatley .. I feel nostelgia or as Zombux said..nothing at all anymore. I played them so many times and was so excited about the thought of it coming out, but that feeling has gone, the new songs feel old already .. I still love the blues and CITR but.. GNR sadly missed the window I feel once agian. to many good bands putting out new music and sadly tired old demos can't compete with that ... 

[Coma_Rose]

Chinese Democracy:
Fucking awesome beginning to a song, will be an amazing opening to an album, my only concern is that it doesn't really showcase Axl's voice (kinda like It's So Easy in that respect). I don't think it'll really appeal to many casual GnR fans, which is a shame 'cos it's a brilliant rock song with some superb guitar work.

Madagascar:
I did think (and still think) that it was the weakest of the bunch, but for some reason I can't stop singing the opening few lines. Critics will slam Axl's voice in this song. But I think it's better than I'll ever give it credit for. I just can't quite love it.

The Blues:
The song I frantically scoured the internet for when the leak came out. Best of the leaks. Best lyrics, too. I think there's violin in it at some point... but anyways, the last minute of the song is one of the best minutes of music I've ever heard.

Better:
Unfortunately I used the start of it as an alarm to wake me up in the morning, so I shudder when I hear it now. But it's an awesome song, people tend to warm to it easily, when I first heard it I thought it was a bit over-the-top heaviness and not enough like Old GnR for me - but now it's #4 on my iTunes most played list (although CD tracks are numbers 1,2,3,4,5,7, and 10)

IRS:
I don't understand why people slam IRS - I fucking love it. Along with Better and Chinese Democracy, it's a heavy track that suits angry, depressed, happy, or cocky moods.

There Was A Time:
I love it, but I think that after Madagascar it's the weakest track of the 7. I know, it's far, far better than that, but I just need to listen to it more often. I think the fact that it's a bit long makes me reluctant to listen to it as often as I listen to the others. I'm sure that when the album's released, and I listen to all the tracks equally, that I'll love it more

Catcher In The Rye:
I fucking hate that it's not great quality. When I first heard it, it reminded me of The Beatles. I see the obvious Queen influences too, and it's an amazing song that should be released as a single. I hope the Brian May guitar parts are kept. I love Bumblefoot, but May is perfect for this song. One of the best songs Axl's ever written.

[GnrJanus]

Chinese Democracy
It has a lot of anger in it, and also a differend feeling, something to look behind the lyrics, and just listen to the voice of Axl and the music that just drives through u're head



Madagascar
A strong song that gives me the chills sometimes. especialy when Axl and Robin sing together.
No I won't be told anymore (If we ever find its true)
That I've been brought down in this storm (That we have the strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore (I'm free of all the chains)
That I can't find my way, find my way, anymore (We held together)   (the singalong)


The blues
It has a lot of emotion going there, and it's a song to me that stands out of all demo's we have so far.
It's beautiful, perhaps it needs a stronger(darker intro of the piano by DIzzy) but it's an awsom song to listen to.
Everytime I hear it I go into myself and look back to the years/days/weeks that have come and go.
and it just tells me,  Did you do everything you wanted to? did you do the right things?




Better
it drives me, It's a good old rocksong with some new twitches to it.
The solo parts. and the stop in between, the song reminds of ycbm or your crazy at some points.


IRS
I love the song (the ROR version) that's all I can say about I.R.S

There was a time
There was a time, didn't wanna know it all, didn't wanna know it all now.......Don't wanna know it.....now!
it reminds me of the past. but also to never look at it again. it happened let it go.



Catcher in the rye
such a beautiful song this can be... very strong emotions. very good guitar works.
I can doze of listening to this..

[ndcrazy8]

CD - Great way to start an album, even if it's notthe best of the bunch - lots of energy and spite - what G N R is remembered for

Maddy - Potential all time great - bigger than the band - a statement that is bigger than the song itself...

The Blues - All I can think of is that they should go back to the original version with the heavy guitar immediately after the piano intro....  Most likely to succeed commercially of all the new stuff.  Makes me thinks of mistakes I've made...

Better - Crank it up - sounds 100% "better " when played loud - this one has a chance to draw in new fans.  Makes me smile and feel like I somehow came out on top in the relationship game...

IRS - forgettable....

TWAT - Epic and grandiose - I love it, makes me feel as though I'm in a nother world...

Catcher - Makes me take stock of where I am in life...
