Guns N Roses - Chinese Democracy To Be Released 23rd Nov.

[RustyCage]

I agree that there a is a lot of self indulgent wank on the albums, but there is a lot of good on them too. I agree that they should have been just one album, but the only thing that would have done was cut out half the good songs.

Mind you I didn;t think much of Use Your Illusions 1 & 2- one of the biggest disappointments ever!

Righto bud, I may well be a bit influenced by my generation but:

Civil War, Live And Let Die, Don't Cry, November Rain, Yesterdays, Knockin On Heaven's Door, Get In The Ring, Shotgun Blues, So Fine, You Could Be Mine
Mine, Dont Cry x 2 ... Not APFD quality, but a pretty decent follow-up for die-hard fans.

Civil War gets a pass mark, as does You Could Be Mine (possibly the only dong that wouldn't be out of place on Appetite, especially with Adler on drums), November Rain, if only for that solo...
Dust n Bones is more than ok, but as for the rest- was Live and Let Die/knocking on heavens door necessary?
Get in the Ring was nearly as self indulgent as My World!
Some good songs (and enjoying it more now than back then), but overall, C-
(although that grade improves when factoring in Chinese Democracy into the grading curve)

Can't argue with much of that Punky, a pretty fair assessment

Bought Slash's new cd. Worth the purchase/download.

I must say that I rate Bumblefoot's work over Buckethead's.
I discovered yesterday that the leads and solo in Shackler's Revenge are Bumblefoot's- I was thinking them to be Buckethead's.
Awesome, awesome work.

Yep, great straight out RnR album. Very rare these days......no Pro tools used on it either

Going to see him on the 28th of Aug at Thebbie ...cant wait!!!

Should be a good show. I'm jealous.

Buckethead drops big giant robot turds all over the bumblefoot.
