Yes, and Weiland will be the greeter at the door.
Nah, HIS solo record comes out two days later! I'm sure it will sell twice as many copies as CD.
I still can't believe he basically remade 12 Bar Blues.

Wow.
Gold Stars all around.
It's funny--for a guy (Axl) who is allegedly no longer relevant--there is a lot of talk about this...fuck, even the NY Times mentioned it today.
Welcome back to the jungle kiddies!
Axl is definently not irrelevant. A whole new generation will now know of him after this album.

It is. The first part is Robin, and then the shredding comes in and that's where Bucket starts owning this song.
Not to get negative - I love what Bucket does - but 'owning' makes it sound like the song was so-so and then Bucket came in and made it fantastic. GNR is rolling on all cylinders here. Axl, Tommy, Robin, whoever is drumming, hell even Ron and the Dizzy-Pitman combo, they all play their asses off here. Bucket is doing crazy awesome shit on CD, but he's not the only one.
A song Bucket 'owns' might be IRS - where it's somewhat forgettable (sorry Neemo, my opinion) until he kicks in. But CD, Riad, Shackler's, Better, Street of Dreams, these are all songs where the 'band' is working as one.
The band is spot on the whole time. I like Ron's contributions as well. I like the added rhythm parts. My comments towards Bucket were not putting down the band in any way. They all own these songs in some way or the other.
I was just trying to point out how it was nice to hear that BH is still getting his fair share after 4 years.

Kudos to Axl and management for this.
And, if i ever see Buckethead, i will buy him a Dr Pepper for owning the shit out of this record.
It's great to hear that he's still on. I smiled when i heard his solo come on the radio today.

And it really does start now.
Thanks CSS!
Has anyone read or heard if there is a video to follow the radio single of Chinese Demo?
There was a Rolling Stone article about a week ago reporting a video was in the works. That's all I know. I would have thought there would be a video although I expect it to be mostly live footage.
I don't know. I think they could make one badass video for it with no live footage. I could just imagine a dark room with a bunch of flashing lights during Buckethead's solo.
And in my version of the video, Bucket is in the band.

Who the fuck died and made you boss? I'm entitled to an opinion just as much as you are and last I checked, I'm free to post any relevant comment in any section of this site that I please. If it deserves a negative comment, it gets a negative comment. Believe me, I'm biting my tongue in a lot of cases. This whole situation is nowhere near as good as you guys are making it out to be, but I'll let you have your day in the sun.
I don't appreciate you giving negative karma for stating a valid opinion as though I'm just posting to cause trouble. Guess what? This song IS NOT getting glowing reports from everybody, so stop fooling yourself into thinking it was some magical song selection. It isn't that good and was a poor song choice for a first single. Hell, I should be happy about that according to you, but I'm not.
GnR fans from the boards are being told to go to different sites to support the song "we need positive reviews on this" is what one site said...how fucking credible is that? No shit people are claiming they like it...almost every one of them had heard the song already and were told to go post there. What happens today means NOTHING. New cars get old, some faster than others. Let's talk after the album comes out and the old material outsells CD. With CD being a BB exclusive, I'm willing to bet that's exactly what happens. We're the only people dragging ourselves to BB to buy it...sorry to break that news to you.
That is just your opinion. You have no facts that we will be the only people buying this record. You have no facts that no one will like this song in a week.
I admit, people are jumping the gun a little, but we're all excited. In another week or so we will be able judge the situation better once the song has more listeners and therefor more response.

Funny aneccdote to lighten the mood a little:
I just talked to my friend and told him what GNR had on their website. I told him about the date and the countdown and told him they have the single streaming.
He asked me, "What's the single then"- this is AFTER he text me this morning to tell me GNR's new single Chinese Democracy is being played on the radio.
#1559 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N' Roses to release Chinese Democracy single » 941 weeks ago
Yeah, CD is pretty rockin'. Way better than that gay ass record Appetite For Destruction.
Yeah, buzz I can be stupid too.
No one's going to like this song! It will be a disaster.
That's why my local radio (pretty anti-GNR in terms of what music they play) have played it every hour since it was released this morning. But no one likes it. Not at all.
My friends just called or text me today to tell me i was right and that the new material sounds amazing, but no one likes it.
#1560 Re: Guns N' Roses » Guns N Roses manager discusses Chinese Democracy » 941 weeks ago
just do this for the cover and be done with it
I like that one. It would be perfect for the album cover i think.
