What do you mean, submitter? Axl weaved that basket and the rest of the band built that bike from scratch.

Gay.

The song on Rock Band 2 is pretty lame.

Is anyone really waiting for this?

Man, I wish there was a rule that when you get down to one original member that you have to call the band something else. Especially when the band is named after members. You got no Tracy Gunns, You got no Duff "Rose" McKagan... so, Guns N' Roses.

Come to thin of it, "Rose" WOULD be a good name for the current lineup. Pleasant to have around for a few days, but surely nothing of lasting value.

Rev.K: Gay.

I got a bootleg copy a few months ago, ale sounds exactly the same but with a band that came from playing covers at the local Holiday Inn.

Rev.K: Gay.

No. Then again I wasn't really waiting for it 13 years ago either.

Rev.K: Gay.

That song is awesome, sir.

And the cover art, I've seen somewhere before, I can't figure out where.

Rev.K: Is anyone really waiting for this?

This is what I'm having a hard time understanding. Why would anyone be anxious to hear this? Who cares?

I think it's a train-wreck fascination to see just how badly it sucks. Whether it will raise the bar of sucktitude higher, or just fail and faceplant in the sand.

In one of the umpteen previous threads about this album a farker pointed out that Axl has been dicking with this for longer that the entire recording careers of Zeppelin or The Beatles.

At this point Axl and the band could play the songs live in my front yard and I wouldn't look out the window to see.

The only good thing about this--FREE DR. PEPPER FOR EVERYBODY!!

I guess this will beat Duke Nukem Forever to market... That is currently set for a Christmas release.

"Sold exclusivly through Best Buy" until about a week after Nov. 25th when only a couple of thousand copies have sold then you'll be able to get it on late night TV.

"Is that freedom rock man, turn it up."

ehummerThe only good thing about this--FREE DR. PEPPER FOR EVERYBODY!!
FAIL;

Fark U: GNR wasn't that great to begin with.

I certainly wouldn't argue with that, but Appetite for Destruction was a solid album without a bad song that did more with the genre than probably any other album. But yeah, you're right. Use Your Illusion had very few songs that even came close and had a lot of songs that were just really bad. Really bad.

Fark U: GNR wasn't that great to begin with.

I know that's a shock to some, but you probably are music ignorant if that is your true stance.

1/10

Now back under your bridge, the grownups are mocking Axl.

I know you mellow with age, but to go from some sort of weird robots raping a chick with her boob hanging out to a bike with basket, that's like Kenny G mellow.

/don't try so hard next time and maybe someone will buy it

Fark U: GNR wasn't that great to begin with.

Wasn't that great!?! They farking sucked! Axl Rose's voice sound like a cat being skinned alive.

Fark U: I know that's a shock to some, but you probably are music ignorant if that is your true stance.

They were pretty good actually, but I don't have a "stance" on music on account of not being a pretentious gobshiate. I just enjoy the stuff, listening to it, playing it, recording it, mixing it at shows, so what would I know.

/I play Guitar Hero too.
//"Fun" is the key word here. Have some.

FlyingJ: FAIL;

Haven't you heard? Buckethead is out; Bumblefoot is in.

Although the band lineup has probably changed again in the time it took me to type this comment.

we_hates: Fark U: GNR wasn't that great to begin with.

I contend the Use Your Illusion pair, if distilled down to one album, would have been a excessive-but-kickass album. Sadly, nobody could say no to Axl by that point. And their bank accounts were thankful for the double-release, I'm sure. Shoulda just used the rest as B-sides to all the singles.

OK, maybe I'm ignorant, but I farking LOVED GnR back in the day. I remember hanging out in front of the Tower Records store waiting until midnight so I could buy the Use Your Illusion CDs. I guess all the music afficionados here on Fark are better than me but I know what I like. I'll buy the new album because I don't know any better. I'm betting there are tons more people like me too. So go ahead and tell me how stupid I am. At the end of the day I'm happy and you are not.

bigbadideasinaction: I contend the Use Your Illusion pair, if distilled down to one album, would have been a excessive-but-kickass album.

It could have been good, but not good in the way Appetite was good, which was in more of a straight ahead rock way. Even the good parts were over-produced*, which is why I'm assuming Chinese Democracy will suck. Well, that and the absence of Slash, Duff, Izzy, etc.

*except for estranged, which is damned near perfect.

This makes sense. I saw that tour in Edmonton, AB when I was 13. We were really close to the speakers and I remember thinking that the old guy (probably 30) was a loser because he put in ear plugs in before G n'R was 3 hours late to play (hilarious).

By the end of the concert they sounded like the Chipmunks doing Guns n' Roses. I couldn't hear without a ringing in my ears for 3 days.

/True story
//Swear to slashie

Wow, that is the worst album cover ever. But it couldn't be more fitting for a shiatty album.

bigbadideasinaction: I contend the Use Your Illusion pair, if distilled down to one album, would have been a excessive-but-kickass album. Sadly, nobody could say no to Axl by that point.

The rumor I always heard is that Geffen were pushing a double album because they were scared shiatless that one of the key members was going to OD and they wanted to get it all out there while they could.

Supposedly that's what inspired the lyrics to The Jellyfish "Ghost of Number One".

/Jellyfish -- criminally underrated.

I like the new songs but am pretty pissed those leaks are pretty much the album.

Those rumors of enough material for 3 CD's better be accurate and there better damn well be another album within a few years.

gregoire4: I guess all the music afficionados here on Fark are better than me but I know what I like. I'll buy the new album because I don't know any better. I'm betting there are tons more people like me too.

Yep, I'm like you.

As for the cover: words fail.

gregoire4: So go ahead and tell me how stupid I am.

Oh, you're not stupid. You just have a really high tolerance for skinned cat screeches.

poot_rootbeer No. Slash & Bucket are disqualified for a free Dr Pepper, but Axl said he'll split his with Bucket....I'd bet on a very cold day in hell
Link (new window)

It's amazing that this 'band' was once not only relevant, but a real segue from hair rock. 'Appetite...' remains one of the more influential albums, ever. And now we have, well, whatever.

I've just noticed that this was happening. Um, so how do we get the Pepper? Is there any word on that?

Ttowler: I've just noticed that this was happening. Um, so how do we get the Pepper? Is there any word on that?


The Dr Pepper spokesperson told MTV News that, while additional details will be forthcoming, the company's plan to distribute free cans of its product will involve some sort of an online coupon system. "People will go on Dr Pepper's Web site and we will send them a coupon for a free one," the spokesperson confirmed. "It's going to be real easy."

This thread demonstates that Axl/GNR are just as polarizing as ever. Some might argue that the true essence of rock n' roll is the line between what is generally acceptable/popular and what is not.

FlyingJ: FAIL;

talk about FAIL, you 'failed' to post the only really good guitarist involved in this faggy trainwreck of a band-ron thal.

I just wanna be cool and accepted. I hate everything, everything sucks.

mahavishnunj: FlyingJ: FAIL;

He was posting pics of those who Dr Pepper said wouldn't get a free can. So the FAIL's back on you, sir.

Please, no more FAIL. FAIL has humped the shark. "Ooh, look at me! I'm a fark/interwebz insider!"

danduran: He was posting pics of those who Dr Pepper said wouldn't get a free can. So the FAIL's back on you, sir.

i guess i fail for not paying attention to guns n roses news(no idea what the dr pepper things about). i feel terrible about this.

/sorry it came to this ron

FlyingJ: Do my eyes decieve me or is that an original Mark Kostabi?

There is no such thing as an original Kostabi.

so I have to buy the new GNR for the free Dr Pepper? No deal.

InmanRoshi: /Jellyfish -- criminally underrated.

Indeed. If you like Jellyfish, you might like Bleu. They've worked together, co-written, and so on I believe.

bonefish: I guess this will beat Duke Nukem Forever to market... That is currently set for a Christmas release.

That I have actually been waiting for.

/ pretty sure it'll suck too.

Duke Nukem can't suck. It's Duke Nukem.

Just don't remind yourself it's been delayed for centuries and therefore created expectations it couldn't possibly live up to.

Just load it up and have some fun. It's Duke Nukem.

I like some of the new stuff.

They should include the CD if you buy a case of Dr. Pepper.

They'd sell more CDs that way I think.

it should have a picture of taiwan on it...

Axl should put on about 200 lbs. and re-name the band Gunt N' Roses.
