Cheers GGG, I have to confess I was excited to see this!

Overproduced & (of course!) it was never going to be Appetite For...but much better than I was expecting, I think I quite enjoyed that  :(

DEFINITELY more than I was hoping for.  And, of course, it was overproduced.  WAYYYY to polished.

I still can't get this link to work on my computer.  For some reason it won't play in Safari and won't even show up in Firefox.  I thought I had just updated Quicktime too.  Oh well, I'll find a way to hear it.

Dr. Pepper Making Good On Guns N' Roses Offer

Soft drink manufacturer Dr Pepper, which this past spring offered to send a free can of the beverage to "everyone in America" (excluding ex-GN'R members Slash and Buckethead) if GUNS N' ROSES' new album, "Chinese Democracy", were to arrive anytime during the calendar year 2008, has revealed details of the plan.

"We never thought this day would come," says Dr Pepper VP of marketing Tony Jacobs. "But now that it's here all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

According to Billboard.com, interested fans are being asked to visit DrPepper.com on November 23, the day "Chinese Democracy" is released in the U.S. exclusively via Best Buy. After registering online, fans will receive a coupon redeemable for a 20-oz. Dr Pepper wherever the drink is sold.

The twist: the coupon is only available for 24 hours and will expire on February 28.

The only thing I didn't like about the original G&R was Axel. Since he's the only member left, I couldn't be less interested in this other than the curiosity that is a human trainwreck. And since Buckehead isn't in the band, the stunt-guitar factor is lessened 100-fold. Tommy Stinson rules, but he ruled with far more ferocity and importance over 20 years ago.

The only problem with the songs on this album will be that I heard them all 5 or 6 years ago.  They have been on the internet forever and haven't changed much.  

I was a big Guns fan and still am, but wish the original lineup would get back together and tour.

The only thing?? Are you kidding?!!

So what's next? comments like...'the only thing I didn't like about Queen was Freddie Mercury'...or 'the only thing I didn't like about The Rolling Stones was Mick Jagger' & 'the only thing I didn't like Jimi Hendrix was his guitar playing'...or some idiot saying 'the only thing I didn't like about the Jacket was Jim?!!'

Sheesh  ::)

I liked the Izzy anchoring the songs and Slash's great lead playing. I like the Stonsier G&R, at least the music part. I hate Axel's voice, so much so that I've never been able to get past it.

Oh yeah, Freddie's voice was awesome, it's his teeth and white tights that I had issues with  ;D

Freddie's stash was ok by me. It somewhat deflected the attention away from his teeth and fish-net shirt.

Anyone see the recently released Queen concert film Live From Montreal? This says it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klaBcaoZeek

BTW, Freddie's wearing a Montreal Canadiens hat. It's not seen on this clip, but during the encore, Freddie ties a white scarf around his neck while shirtless and wearing the white tights and Canadiens hat.

I finally was able to hear the song.  It makes me sad to know that had this been released in like 2002, I would have fucking loved it but now, not so much.  It's a good song, maybe I just have to get past the fact that its not Appetite For Destruction.

I can't wait for this.. i think it's gonna be great actually.  C.D. isn't the best song on the album either from the ones i've heard anyway...
the song is growing on me too.

there's a better quality version also streaming on www.gunsnroses.com

I think if people accept that this isn't going to be another Appetite and are ready for new directions, they will be able to appreciate it.

I just listened to it.....I have to say I lot better than I ever expected (which was absolutely terrible)...I wouldn't say great or anything but solid.  RS gave it 4 stars and Chuck Klosterman gave it a raving review.
