So the King doesn't know about anything? It'd be kinda strange, since Axl seems to obsessed with the forum comments, I doubt that when he's monitoring that site, the name 'Goebbels' wouldn't come into his mind, if freedom of speech means anything to him. Except something to kill.
#1282 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » Slash interview - Argentina » 812 weeks ago
Since there are more guitars on Slash than on the two VR albums combined, not to mention that the music is superior, I can do nothing but support his decision. And since the second Slash album will not be suffering of the want of mainstream success (although Slash chose his single very poorly, if that was his aim), we'll be getting even more guitars and less compromise. Well, it has the risk of being too 70s and cock rockish, but I rather hear a good, but not great album from Slash in every 2 years, than waiting for the miracle that will never happen for decades.

The interesting thing is that the unofficial Hungarian fan site, www.gunsnroses.hu was shot down a few weeks ago, after 8 years. The admin said he got tired, and has more important things in his life. The site came back a few weeks later with a new admin. I'm almost sure it's only a coincidence, but strange.

Corey could have been a singer who wins a new, great audience for the band. He could have helped to revive the interest. I don't know anyone who could have been much better for it, except the crazy one.

Seems like Duff hasn't given up on Corey.

I don't know about you guys, but I'd never pay for an autograph. It's about the contact, meeting the legend, and getting him sign something. These 'buy it at Slash's online store' etc. things lack the intimacy.

GUNS ‘N ROSES – CHINESE DEMOCRACY
Last week: 3,158
Cume: 618,7633,158 people paid $1.99 for this Best Buy dust bunny last week… which means Best Buy is exactly $6,284.42 closer to recouping the $14 million they spent on purchasing 1.6 million copies of this bad boy in 2008. Congrats! Baby steps.
Good enough to re-enter the Billboard top 200, BARELY, at #199.
It's also #22 on the Catalog Albums chart, one spot ahead of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon".
It's something, I guess. Honestly, if Best Buy made it more aware that it was $1.99 it might do even better. A hand made sign in aisle stating it's $1.99 perhaps? Too much to ask? Nobody has cared about this album from the start though, so why start now?
If they give it away for free, it will be even in the Top 150!

really? ^^^^^^^^
you don't see any genius in twat, madagascar, this i love, sorry, etc...
hidden beneath the layers and overproduction?
what if the same songs were recorded with slash and co.?
Alright, no genius except TWAT. Although they could have worked more on the music, since the verses lack the ideas. Robin's solo is good (writing wise) and awful (playing wise - sorry, Russ), BH is amazing, Axl is amazing both lyrically and vocally. The drums suck though and the less Pitman the better.
This I Love could have been a classic, if it's only Axl and the piano. The overproduction and the awful solo (sorry Russ) takes away a lot. Less would have been more, in this case they had great ideas to begin with, but the result is probably worse, than Axl's first midnight drunk home demo that nobody heard.
Madagascar - interesting mood, good lyrics and nothing more. It could have been a good song (in its full potential), but the result is below mediocre. The quotation part is forced and out of place; I hate the solo, I can't recall a bit of it; Axl's singing is probably the worst he has ever recorded. I understand the 'old and tired' style, but it's plain bad. Nothing's really happening in the song. A typical post-Slash GN'R track: the song is an overproduced nothing. Sounds like a demo with a zillion, unneccessary layers, added by a madman.
Sorry - boring, uninspired song with nothing happening. A demo that would have needed more work in every possible aspect. The lyrics were written by the 5-year old Axl, probably. Baz is worse than 10 extra Pitman layers, and it's coming from an (old) Baz fan.
These songs with Slash:
TWAT - Slash could have come up with even better guitar solos than Robin, not to mention the quality of playing. He could have created something worthy for the verses - although these parts probably need Izzy more. The song is great enough in this version though. The only song on CD that should make Axl proud and the only tune that 'worth the wait'.
This I Love - we'd have gotten a solo in the league of NR or Estranged, but I repeat, the song could have been a classic with only Axl and the piano.
Madagascar - a memorable solo. Probably a bit more rocking riff part somewhere. And no stupid Axl extras. A good song, but still not something great.
Sorry - a real blues song with a real, and not imitated blues solo. The potential isn't really there, so even with Slash, the song couldn't have been more than mediocre.

I see no genius ideas on CD. Just some good ideas killed with glitter or 80s keyboards or amateur cut-and-pass job, and a lot of throw-away songs that Axl tried to turn into something desperately, but failed. I think CD is the worst album in history in terms of the quality of the album and the time it needed.
