CC does make a good point. The post grunge generation does seem to have some issues with it. Would be a good reason why UYI flies under the radar now.
WhileI certainly don't advocate members telling someone to "fuck themselves", I'll be the first to admit that comment from machine was pretty insulting.
I don't like a certain song, so it means I listen to shit music? Would love an elaboration on that.
The post grunge generation is defined by songs that pretty much have all come out before in some form or another. 
There's something wrong with the generation not being able to recognize a good song.
I think a major problem is the attention spans of the audience. With the whole 'flavor of the week' thing going on, their focus on a certain band isn't really that long. So take a song like Estranged that doesn't start out fast and end quickly, and it's hard for younger generations that listen to radio a lot to focus on it. There aren't many mainstream artists today releasing longer songs like Estranged. In fact i can't think of more than a handfull. Most of the time the songs aren't good anyway.
I think that'll be a main problem facing this record as well. And for that reason, from the songs we've heard, it won't go on to top GNR's past in terms of sales or recognition.
I would too like an elaboration on 'shit music', and what exactly that means.

God I hope not. I would think Del is a true friend to him as well, Dizzy also. I am sure he has his circle of friends that are his true friends.
While I'd guess that Del is his friend as well I'm not sure he has a circle of friends. I'm not sure he has a circle of anything other than greedy yes-men and people who are afraid of him.
I agree. A true friend would be someone you can tell personal stuff to without them running their mouths. Del doesn't run his mouth about Axl every chance he gets, but Baz does.
I wouldn't count Baz as the only 'true friend' Axl has, and i wouldn't label him as a 'true friend' for the fact that he can't keep his mouth shut.
CC nails it too that Axl probably doesn't have a close cirlce of friends but just a few friends.

Also looks like Kushner may be out. Not one single mention of him.
Wow... this is just weird.
Matt's confirming what we've all been expecting all along, that there are talks about a GNR reunion going on.

BBf didn't do justice to the CD solos, that's for sure. He also didn't do that good on Better either.
I wouldn't want to hear his fretless solo recorded.

Baz gets 4 copies of Chinese Democracy and Axl's underwear.
#2256 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's "Tirade" in Rolling Stone - Bach speaks out » 959 weeks ago
It kinda shows he's got tired of people telling him to release the album.
Then again there are those who have gotten tired of waiting as well.

I'm uploading the real thing now, so i will post that.
James, these guys are pretty damn good. Check out their cover of Simple Man.

The singer has an amazing voice. This album is far beyond their last ones. I saw a video of them live and it seems they have added a second guitarist to their band, which added a new aspect to their album.

Too much going on? No way
U guys are just so use to listening to the shit music out today that its hard to listen and appreciate great music.
only thing that sucks in these songs is the guitar solos. They are absolutely attrocious. Song Number 2 could be bigger and better than NR and Estranged if it had the right guitar fills/solos but the solo after the last chorus is awful and there are no fills worth mentioning.
I would love to see how awesome that song would be with Slash playing guitar on it.
Have you been listening to music at all lately? It all has too much going on. It's all too cluttered most of the time.
#2259 Re: The Sunset Strip » Shinedown Streaming new album on Myspace » 959 weeks ago
No one likes these guys?
This album is in my opinion their best work so far. It has been taken down off of myspace, but i may happen to have the rips...
This album starts out hard and doesn't let up. Definently something to check out for 08.

Ummm.... overall feelings on CD era songs ^^^: game, set, match.
Don't scare Axl back into another 10 years of recording!
(if we're not already headed there)
