I might have been intereasted... 10 years ago.

/Not bothering now...

 
gulliver_redrick 2008-10-22 07:52:57 AM  
Well, I can't say that it's what I expected...

Not saying that's a bad thing; not gonna run out and buy it either.

 
freddie freeloader 2008-10-22 07:56:38 AM  
It's not bad. I was a big GnR fan back in the day; I'll check out the album.

Which one of the 7 guitar players they've had in the last 15 years is playing the solo?

 
gulliver_redrick 2008-10-22 07:57:31 AM  
I think it's Snarl.

/Dunno, just makin' stuff up.

 
doctorwormwood 2008-10-22 07:58:46 AM  
Ahhh it's not crap... thats awesome.. I honestly hope it's good.. I've missed that screech

 
BravoEcho 2008-10-22 08:08:07 AM  
Well, it's Axel Rose alright. Other than that nothing new to me.

 
Goonie_Goo_Goo 2008-10-22 08:13:47 AM  
Ladies and gentlemen, The Axl Rose Band!

/not GnR

 
7of7 [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 08:16:09 AM  
The rest of the album is better.

 
fenrael23 2008-10-22 08:20:34 AM  
Well that sucked.

 
Lewis Medlock 2008-10-22 08:21:12 AM  
Can't wait for it to come out so I can download it illegally. I don't want to give axl a penny.

 
Transpogue 2008-10-22 08:29:20 AM  
Axl Rose...will always think of this...

As Guns N Roses was one of my favorite bands, I have to say...

That Sucked.

 
phedex 2008-10-22 08:35:41 AM  
I think Snarf is playing guitar for them now.

 
7of7 [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 08:38:14 AM  
Oh, and for the record Axl is the only uniquely talented member of Guns N' Roses. The rest of the members were just along for the rock star ride.

 
Hagbard Celine Dion 2008-10-22 08:41:35 AM  
That was ... bad. Uninventive, tired, cliched. The opening guitar chords overprocessed to hell and back. I almost feel bad for the record company; there's no way this will make back the umpty-squat millions of dollars invested in this album. Especially not in the current days of downloading.

/Almost, but not quite.

 
Rev. Skarekroe [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 08:44:44 AM  
Ha ha ha, very fu- what, it's NOT a Rickroll?

Huh.

Song's just ok.

 
Whamdangler 2008-10-22 08:48:03 AM  
7of7: The rest of the album is better.

Hope so, that was incredibly mediocre, IMHO.

 
Stupid Floppy Clownshoes 2008-10-22 08:51:02 AM  
Appetite for Destruction changed my life when I was 13; this made me want to end it. Life, that is.

 
rocinante721 2008-10-22 08:58:22 AM  
Whelmed.

I'm under it

 
FlashHarry [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 09:33:21 AM  
meh. not terrible. decent feel and an ok riff (but no "welcome to the jungle" by any stretch) - but no chorus.

sorry, axl - you need a mega chorus, a mega riff or both to make it work. and that was fair-to-middlin' at best.

 
Dogfacedgod 2008-10-22 09:37:43 AM  
Pretty good, doesn't sound like a GNR song, but it's pretty good nonetheless.

 
tgspeed 2008-10-22 09:39:38 AM  
Check out the video for it, it kicks ass!

It's OK. Not good, not bad, just OK.

Sounds too much like generic arena rock.

 
Dialectic 2008-10-22 09:42:05 AM  
I would go out and buy...but I am not a 17-yr. old high schooler with long hair.

Get with the times, William Bruce Rose, Jr. (his real name)

i thought it was bill bailey.

 
FlashHarry [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 09:50:56 AM  
whoops. it is rose. imagine that.

that video is terrible - it looks like fan fiction. the live shots don't synch with the music at all.

 
Dialectic 2008-10-22 09:59:49 AM

In Wikipedia: (new window)

however, this source says this: (new window)

All in all, the man is excentric, for sure.


BTW, great video here of 'Chinese Democracy'. (new window)

That's not the real video, it's fan made.

Needs more Izzy.

 
HappyHarryHardOn [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 10:18:14 AM  
sounds like a crappy, unwanted "USe Your Illusion" outtake... 15 years too late. it's dated , inconsequential and boring

 
downstairs [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 10:25:15 AM  
7of7: The rest of the album is better.

This. One of the better albums I've heard in a few years. Of course that's not saying much, but it is damn good.

Is it dated? Yeah, a little. But the sound they had for Use Your Illiusion really was never taken beyond that album.

 
jimjazz [recently expired TotalFark] 2008-10-22 10:42:49 AM  
Lame lame lame.

Can't believe it took 15 years to polish that one.

next....

 
Wrong_Intentions 2008-10-22 10:48:35 AM  
THAT took thirteen years to shiat out?!

 
zvoidx 2008-10-22 10:52:51 AM  
light, then heavy...
da-da, da-da..da-da, da-da.
Grrrr... yet another song using the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" formula?!

 
Mr_Fabulous 2008-10-22 11:05:29 AM  
"Music...On Demand!"

I liked that part best.

 
Wrong_Intentions 2008-10-22 11:06:34 AM  
I honestly think it sounds like another half-assed attemped by Metallica to pretend to be metal again. (Death Magnetic was somewhat ok.) It's that bad.

 
foil helmet guy 2008-10-22 11:11:10 AM  
10 years to produce, 4:41 to suck

 
Dreadstar [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 11:11:44 AM  
7of7: Oh, and for the record Axl is the only uniquely talented member of Guns N' Roses. The rest of the members were just along for the rock star ride.

Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaah. Sure.

jj325: Needs more Izzy.

This.

First thought is that eh, the song itself is not that bad, but the production sucks. It's too clean, too overdone, too robotic, too processed, too compressed, too Nicklebackish. Almost reminds me of the sound on newer stuff like Hinder and Theory of a Deadman. One of the reasons people still hold Appetite in such high regard is that it was so raw.

 
shirtsbyeric 2008-10-22 11:11:59 AM  
If this were his first album it would've been his last.

Axl you're on fries today. Where is your hair net?

 
paradroid 2008-10-22 11:14:58 AM  
Has anyone ever even tried to explain why Axl Rose, who we already know hates black people, has this stupid fascination with the Chinese?

 
Rickenbacker 2008-10-22 11:35:54 AM  
Wow. That was really, REALLY...meh. No drive, no energy. It's just there.

 
mavrick45 2008-10-22 11:47:07 AM  
shiats all retarded

seriously. it was shiat

 
onestr8 2008-10-22 11:54:31 AM  
Really wanted it to be good. Left wanting.

Too bad it's too bad.

All that they got to rule the nation
And all I got is breakfast time!

 
FeedTheCollapse 2008-10-22 12:07:21 PM  
that was beyond average.

 
FeedTheCollapse 2008-10-22 12:10:53 PM  
FeedTheCollapse: that was beyond average.

to clarify, ti was mediocre as fark. 14+ years for something that sounds like it should've been released mid-90s (if even then)?


/just didn't want to to give the impression that I liked that.

 
Fark-the-Fnord 2008-10-22 12:14:45 PM  
To me, he kind of sounded like Ozzy.

 
timmy_the_tooth [TotalFark] 2008-10-22 12:23:46 PM  
That took 10 years?

 
bingo the psych-o 2008-10-22 12:44:56 PM  
Goonie_Goo_Goo: Ladies and gentlemen, a puppet show, followed by The Axl Rose Band!

/not GnR



FTFY

/spinal tap

tallguywithglasseson: All that they got to rule the nation

I lol'ed

This isn't even one of the 5 best songs on the album. That being said it sounds a lot better production wise than any of the leaks I've heard...so I've got hope for the rest of the disc.

/cant wait to hear I.R.S. finished
