I want to believe it, but I just can't. Anyway it's still not really GNR. I want it to be so badly though.

Buckethead left a long time ago.

I highly doubt it's coming out seeings how they had an official release date a few years ago and it never came out

I've always loved GNR, but after 10 years of anticipation, can this album do anything other than disappoint really? :?

Holy Jesus, this album sounds HORRRRRIBLE! Axle sounds more like freaking Bon Jovi than his old self. I think if this wasn't GNR, and with a different singer, the album might break out of obscurity. Otherwise. Ugh.

(FYI, I haven't read any of this thread)

Terrible as GnR, but -decent- as standalone music. Chinese Democracy (the song) is actually -good-.
But, not GnR...
More like Axle Rose and Friends.

Not trying to bump a dead thread, but the release date is in a couple of days and figured it'd be better to bump this then see a new thread.

I finally heard the song Chinese Democracy on the radio yesterday. Axl's voice sounds good, but different. Buckethead's guitar work on the song is phenomenal. I'm going to give the album a chance. Hell, if I can give the new Metallica and AC/DC albums a chance I can give GNR more then one :lol:

*edit*

So, I just finished listening to it. HOLY CRAP.

Its awesome. That is all I can say.

A lot of places are streaming it live tonight. Unbelievably, it lives up to the hype, this is going to be one of the best rock albums in a long time.

As a huge GNR fan, I can't say the album really does it for me. There are songs I genuinely like and keep on my ipod, like The Blues (it's name has changed since I got it), Better, There was a Time, IRS and a few others.


But it really isn't GNR as I love them. Axl would've done better to rename the band imo. Yes, there's a lot more hype etc with the band still being called GNR, but the spirit and sound of GNR is long gone.
