How bad quality is the leak?

Quoted for truth. I thought I was reading HTGTH for most of this thread. I expected each post to end with a condescending If it wasnt for the old guys we'd all be (or probably not) listening to Hollywood Rose, perish the thought.

Next breaking news - B-Real says the world is round.

For the first time in about 8 years, I'm gonna go against myself and say theres never going to be a reunion. Its been so long since the old guys left and so long to get this album off the ground that think this new GNR are supposed to appeal to a whole new fanbase with little regard for those that supported the band back in the day. After all its been brutally apparent that Axl has little to no regard whatsoever for those that enabled him to earn the power to spend $13mill on an album over 13 years in the first place.

I've always been interested in the new music, and while some of it has been great and some of it appalling I always thought that it was nothing but a stepping stone to getting the real GNR back again. I just dont think its on the agenda or will be in the near future. Theyre gonna hype this thing on the brand name and shove it down our throats whilst trying to hoodwink people into thinking this is how GNR has been since day 1. Despite everything over the last week we still dont know whos in the damn band. Its great to see Slash all over the place but I wonder how long it'll be before the public eye recognises him as 'That Guitar Hero Guy' instead of the quintessential GNR guitarist. This is a GNR-Lite for a new generation.

Whilst we've all had a stupendous wait for the album, theres a lot of GNR fans that hoped that wait would lead to a reunion - I just dont think thats ever going to happen.

Hope I didnt hijack the thread and I'm not trying to be on one of 'those bloody Reunionists! But with Azoff's track record etc etc I think my post is appropriate.
