ive always thought that in order for this album to be successful, then credible media was going to have to steer fans in the right direction. a rave review in rolling stone is a great step. fans of rock music are afraid to give this record a chance. they need to see that it is actually acceptable to like the music despite the fact that slash is no longer in the band.

for instance over at ultimate-guitar, probably one of the largest anti-axl fanbases (and I'm sure you could guess why) i get the feeling that posters think it is "cool" to shit on axl. many couldnt care less, but its the cool thing to do, so they go along with it at the risk of being bashed by the other members. now you have a major critic reviewing the album, and i wouldnt be at all surprised if you start seeing old fans coming out of the woodwork in support of the album.

i havent

i called waaf in boston tonight and said "i may be the only one who says this but can you  play chinese democracy tonight?? and he said actiually there are a lot of people who have requested the song so it will def get on tonight.

haha he says they have to wait for time to catch up with silkworms

wow, love rons contribution. i always thought the verse was a weak link in the song. this extra guitar part is definitely some good gnr sleaze
