The Album Has Leaked Y'all
Well I have anticipated this album since the very first year it was meant to have released... I enjoyed all of their previous offerings (yes even the Spaghetti Incident) and would call myself a huge fan... i went and saw Axel and his fill in band perform as Guns n Roses last year with Skid Row and Stone Roses and actually left me quite excited about what was to finally come out.... DUM DUM DUM Then I heard the Single Chinese Democracy... It wasnt what I had been hoping for and then I found a site with all leaked tracks except for like three and Listened to what I hoped would be redemption and reward for the long wait I had to endure.... Track after track let me down... What is missing IS Slash... even without other former members you could pull it off with just Axel and Slash and have a Hit single or two and the fans would feel ok paying money for this... but this isnt even a shadow of Guns.... If you want to feel good about paying for something over this as a rock fan Id pay for ACDC over this any day (despite the fact I downloaded and enjoyed it weeks early) I would rate Slash's Snakepit and Velvet Revolver over this heap anyday!!! I am actually now shifting focus to what Lenny Kravitz will bring to the next Velvet Revolver album and trying to forget that I ever listened to this.... SMH (Just dont bother releasing this album Axel... maybe it could be a tax write off for charity if you gave away any copies you had made!!!)

SMH (Just dont bother releasing this album Axel... maybe it could be a tax write off for charity if you gave away any copies you had made!!!)I'll take the Chinese Democracy single, and Better over most of the Use Your Illusion tracks, much less the VR tracks. What would made CD any different if Slash was on it? Just the solo would sound cooler. The rest of the song would be the exact same. Slash was not the creative mind behind the old songs. Axl and Izzy were. Now maybe this album would have been better if Izzy was back in the fold. But as much as I love Slash as a player, he was never a top songwriter. Everything I heard from the demos is better than anything I've heard from VR or Snakepit.
Where/when did you see Guns? I saw em twice in 06 - Las Vegas and in San Francisco at the Warfield. Las Vegas show was awesome, the crowd was into it, and Axl fed off that. SF....well, the crowd was chalked full of idiots and people throwing shit, it really affected the vibe of the show.

Sebastian Bach was not too bad and the show was really good for what it was.... I suppose "Axel Rose with sessions band" doesnt quite sell those tickets though...

Everything I heard from the demos is better than anything I've heard from VR or Snakepit.Solos and strong lead guitar work and riffs that only Slash can bring would make a huge difference over this shite that theyre attempting to sell to us.... Izzy and Axel were the songwriters thats true but he added all the extras that made a Guns album stand above and beyond.... Try to tell me you wouldnt enjoy it a million times more if Slash added his bits over these songs.... Hes already called it correct: There's not a single major hit on this album... Real GNR RIP

Real GNR RIPOf course I'd prefer it to have Slash. No doubt about it, but as it stands in my opinion the Rose with his "guns" is better than the "guns" without the Roses. Both VR albums were huge disappointments. The one thing I wanted from them were long sdlash solos and I didn't get them. I'll listen to Better a million times more than I'll listen to any Slash song with out Axl.
Just listened to the album this morning... Not really feeling it!!!!I'm sad... Wtf... It's like Axl has aged sooooo much.....
