Swede Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I think Nice Boys, Shadow of Your Love, Reckless Life and You're Crazy is excellent songs. That's punk rock'n'roll with an attitude. G'n'R killed the pop metal hairband scene, that's why I like them I guess. Sure, some of the Illusion stuff is ok too, but it hasn't got the sheer attack that the really early stuff has. Chinese Democracy sounds like a cross between latter days G'n'R and Marlyn Manson. Not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LedZepChick Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I totally love everything that Guns N Roses have put out in the past. I haven't heard the rest of the new songs, but I downloaded the single, Chinese Democracy, from iTunes last week, and it's not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caroselambra~ Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) So you know their first albums then? Which one do you hate the most? I know I could never like much material by a band who have produced stuff like 'legs' and 'gimmee all your lovin'' not to mention *smart dressed man*. I once tried to listen to eliminator but turned it off. You are correct by stating their first two albums were quite good and quite bluesy - BUT all their stuff after that is so bland and lacking in inspiration it's just boring! That kind of post *beheaded* material is nothing but MTV rock music and in my opinion it's crap!

Swede Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Well, people eat McDonalds. This will put money in Axl's pocket, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JethroTull Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 For what it's worth, the current issue of Rolling Stone gave Asian Democracy a damn good review. It's probably worth a lot. A couple of thousand drones will buy it based on the RS review. Before you know it, Axle has several million to squander and more woman to beat up.

59LesPaul Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I don't wish harm on people-I don't want the karma-so let's just say I hope Axl gets what he so richly deserves. Take that any way you wish....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTM Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well it's streaming on MS.... imo it's an Axl Rose solo album and its a pale shadow of the almost 22 year old AFD.....Iwas 29 years old when AFD came out and at that time that album was something that gave the world the wake up that great RnR could still be made to sound fresh................But now this new thing will probably only please the kids who were'nt around in 87 to experience the impact GnR had on the rock wasteland of that time... I will most likely buy this thing but there is no chance it will get the two to three hundred plays AFD had. this one is just going to gather dust sitting along side all those other albums that sit unloved on the bottom shelf in my music room......Maybe i should give the money to charity instead, something more deserving than Axl Rose..... Maybe i'll do both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 The songs are good (Axl is crazy as hell, but he can write) but I don't like the production - it's very harsh, artificial and metallic. I agree that it won't have the impact of Appetite for Destruction; they waited too damn long. But like I say it's quite good, especially the song "Better".
