I personally wish they would've kept truckin' along in their "bigger than life" lineup of Axl, Slash, Duff, Gilby, Matt & Dizzy.
We all have our preferences.
But I still think if we were sitting here with a Guns N' Roses, that (for argument's sake) consisted of Scott Weiland, Slash, Duff, Izzy or Gilby, Matt & Dizzy, basically Illusion-GN'R with a different lead singer.
There wouldn't be near the interest imo. We're all gonna see. I've personally thought, even with an album, there's only about a 50% interest in a new GN'R live tour at this point.

Brain hasn't been in the band for awhile, so that's no shock.

Yeah, but you hadn't heard leaks and live cuts of Death Magnetic songs for as far back as 7 years either.

Which is why I think it reinforces the unimportance of the old band. Axl has been the driving force of this band for such a long time, if not since the inception, and I know that's a very 'Axlite' thing to say, but i'm not saying it to trash the old band.
They contributed. We get it.
What the fuck is that? All those songs you listed and love would be very different without IZZY, DUFF and SLASH playing and writing them. They did more than just "contribute" to the band. They were the band. GNR would not have been as big if it was only Axl and some second hand or hired guns.
The ONLY reason this band has a shot is because of the "unimportant" old band. Get a fucking clue.
They can be replaced. Get a fuckin' clue.
If CD is a big hit, and a big multi-platinum, legendary album... will you be here in 10 years saying that just due is owed to Robin, Buckethead, Ron, Richard, Paul, Tommy, Brain, Frank, Dizzy & Chris for making Guns N' Roses what it is.
Nah, didn't think so.

I was like that with Queen. Some of their songs really take absorbtion to understand the true brilliance of them. GN'R is the same. It's not that you immediately don't like them, but some times like fine wine, you have to swish it around in your mouth 'til you taste all of the things in there.

But like 2008Int said, GN'R have never had a musical style. Which goes back to the Queen references that GN'R have had, at least since the UYI-era. Even on AFD, the rock songs all had their unique sound. No formula. Lies ended up being the 'acoustic' album. UYI1 was a new era of blues-influenced rockers, and of course the Elton John/Led Zeppelin-styled epic November Rain. Then UYI2 gave birth to the 'GNR epic', featuring several epic and layered songs such as Civil War, Breakdown, Locomotive & Estranged.
CD will be a whole new bag of tricks.
But the one constant is W. Axl Rose. His voice, his sound, is irreplaceable. Any true GN'R fan will tell you, even if they hate his guts, that he's irreplaceable. Hell, fuckin' Slash has said - "greatest frontman in the world".
But the guitars, drums, keys... all can be replaced. As long as the rockers rock you, and the ballads move you - it'll always be Guns N' Fuckin' Roses. 
#16918 Re: Guns N' Roses » Radio Reacts To Guns N' Roses Single » 941 weeks ago
The shocking thing to me is that only CD stands out really among the crowd.
AC/DC & Metallica will continue to fall. Rock n' Roll Train will get old quick (it's a good song, but it's AC/DC, we've heard this stuff for 25+ years), and The Day That Never Comes, despite being a good song, is once again a mainstream effort by Metallica, that simply blends into radio, and will fade away.
I truely believe that a large majority of CD not getting played in certain areas are due to asshole DJ's who think they're gonna teach Axl a lesson.

B-Real: 'Chinese Democracy is Not Real Guns N' Roses'
The star is confident he will not like the forthcoming LP because he is not a fan of the current Guns N' Roses line-up.
Tuesday, October 28, 2008
Daily Rock Photos - "Get the latest rock news!"Cypress Hill rapper B-Real has blasted the long-awaited Guns N' Roses album Chinese Democracy before he's even heard it.
The star is confident he will not like the forthcoming LP because he is not a fan of the current Guns N' Roses line-up, which features Axl Rose as the only original member of the group.
B-Real adds of the upcoming LP: "It's Guns N' Roses only in the sense of the name. It's not them."

I personally know the next Cypress Hill record will suck, because they have all fucking sucked. 
How 'bout them apples B-Real, YEAH! 
#16920 Re: The Garden » Government Foils Skinhead Plot to Assassinate Obama » 941 weeks ago
I hope nothing happens to Obama.
But if riots were to happen, that's dispicable too. As far as i'm concerned, if someone tries to pull you out of your car, you need to shoot the son of a bitch in the face.
Learn from LA in '92. Those people know now how it would go down. The blacks that choose to riot in that city, again, will get a big fuckin' surprise this time. St. Pete too, after the riots in the late 90's.
Just a word of warning.
