And that was ONLY because of Axl. That's been stated in countless interviews over the years by band members, and people close to the band.
Axl was the one pushing for another direction, and the rest of the band wanting to stick with the "tried and true" sound. Their initial reaction to songs like Rain & Estranged was utter disgust.

I think that's McCains personality (which I don;'t like), but just he's a little bit of a jerk, and won't look opponents in the eye. Things he's always right all the time, I'm right you're wrong. Also, he tried to belittle him a few times by saying "What Obama doesn't understand is...". I'm sure that was just a stunt, but the first time he said that I knew he'd use it all night. Sure enough he did.
I noticed it right away. Both of them "greeting" each other at center stage, Obama says "Hi, John, how are you doing?" with a smile on his face in a cordial fashion. McCain didn't even make eye contact with him. He was too busy looking at the crowd and moderator as if Obama wasn't even there. Very odd coming from a guy who claims to have such a "bi-partisan" record.
Oh yeah, and did you see at the end? Obama immediately walked up to John, extended his hand and said "great job John" or "good job John" with a smile on his face, and McCain blew him off. He didn't make eye contact with him, then saw Obama's hand, made a quick handshake, and immediately walked away to go great his wife.
I'm not saying he was intentionally being an asshole, but he certaintly came across as uptight and agitated. Obama was much more relaxed, prepared, and yes, even friendly.

Well CD was used as an encore on the tour.
What about CD - as a closer? And some unknown song as an opener, that we haven't heard.
Still I think it's an obvious opener.
As for Song #2... I think it's the strongest new GN'R song, and one of the strongest GN'R songs ever made... in it's current form. It can only get better.
Fucking love that song.

I don't get the "Better" reference. Did you play it for them, or did they hear it or something?
#17465 Re: The Garden » McCain lies? Caves? Or Obama was right? » 945 weeks ago
I don't think Obama walked away with anything, but he certaintly gets the 'W' on the board.

If Chinese Democracy consisted of of Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy & Steven, and sounded like AFD II but with different lyrics, those mother fuckers over there would sit back and trash it for sounding 'repetitive'.
The typical MyGNR forum user...
They'll be negative, just for the sake of being negative, and I hope to GOD Axl doesn't let those guys influence his decisions in any way.
#17467 Re: Guns N' Roses » HOLD ON: NY Times reporting deal NOT done! » 945 weeks ago
That's one thing you can always bet on Axl with... he will ALWAYS wait 'til the last possible nanosecond before pulling the trigger.

We'll use this thread for the old vs new debate. Nothing wrong with such discussions, but they shouldn't hijack threads dealing with actual Chinese Democracy news. Not saying we cant mention old GNR in certain context regarding the post 93 era in other sections, but massive thread hijacks aren't necessary when the debate can stand on its own merits aside from news about the album and its potential release.
mygnr loves GN'R more than life itself.
All I hear is "Axl sucks, the new band sucks" over there about 99% of the time.

Obama won the debate. We'll see how the upcoming ones go, but I have no doubt Obama will get another boost after tonight.
McCain made some good points, and even caught Obama on some facts, but came off as rough and unprepared. His biggest issue was the entire debate he came across as agitated. Seriously. It was like he was pissed about something, I don't know if it's because he didn't want to be there or what.
Obama came across as relaxed, prepared, poised and classy. The man also made some very good arguments and poignant statements, and just all around came off on the screen - better.
The problem for McCain is this is HIS ARENA. He didn't want to do the convention. He wanted this. And ironically... his convention was better.
We'll see how future debates go, because i've seen others come back. I know in 2004 Bush came off awful in the first debate, and then majorly kicked ass in the 2nd & 3rd. So who knows.
But right now, Obama won game one of the division playoffs.
And as for Palin/Biden next week... ugh... *cough*... after that Katie Couric interview, Biden's gonna break Palin's back across his knee. This is gonna be like watching an elephant crush a mouse.

Exactly war. The deal is done, imo. Completely done.
It's just because GN'R have no issued an official statement that the media outlets are not confirming it.
Plus, this is ALL over the place right now as far as the normal media outlets for this stuff. GN'R issued a statement about Dr. Fuckin' Pepper (same day). Me thinks the reason GN'R are still silent is that they are still preparing their statement, and my guess is it's gonna be HUGE in the words of one Mr. Donald Trump.
