Guys... deal with it.

It's 2008. This is how the music business works these days to survive with CD's, and not music downloads. This is not a shock in the least, Axl is anti-internet/anti-download, and still seems to think it's 1991 when it comes to album releases.

Realistically, if he's gonna be so diehard for an old-school release on CD, this is the ONLY way to do it, and be profitable, especially with an album such as Chi Dem that is so buried in the red.

It worked for Garth Brooks. It worked for The Eagles. It's gonna work for AC/DC. And i'm sure GN'R will follow.

The whole "most dangerous band in the world" is LONG dead. It died the day the won a VMA for November Rain in 1992.

I'm just hoping, like with Garth Brooks' releases, that a Wal-Mart release might see some BIG huge CD box set for Christmas. That'd be awesome.

Also, if GN'R are even contemplating a Wal-Mart only release... then CD is not going to be explicit. No matter what version you buy.

Metallica

Although I think Megadeth has stayed truer to their roots over the years, Metallica is still a stronger force to be reckoned with despite the fact they seem to change bass players each decade.

Metallica is going through a little rough patch right now. They tried to re-invent themselves with Load & Reload and were met with mixed reactions. St. Anger was touted as this big comeback of classic Metallica, and it was probably their worst album to date, and right now everyone is meeting the hype for Death Magnetic with a luke warm reaction after the disappointing St. Anger.

I still think Metallica is the stronger force, based on their catalog from 1983-1991, but I think Metallica's future will be told with Death Magnetic. If they can come back from St. Anger with a strong outing, they'll prove they've still got it. If they don't, and it's another weak outing... they might be looked as the AC/DC of their generation. Respected, but let's be honest - seen their better days.

Anybody that thought Axl didn't have anything 'rockin' up his sleeve just got shut the fuck down with this song.

Awesome. Sounds like Rob Zombie meets Judas Priest with Axl Rose on vocals.

What can you say about this stuff?

Sick...

Everybody knows the greatest football game ever made was NFL Blitz.

Pass interference, late hits, german suplexes to steal the ball...

NOW THAT'S FOOTBALL! YEAH!
