Scott acts like he'd have explored anything musically on his last record. He's not. I liked his first effort, but the second is pretty boring and uninspired, worse than the worst VR song.

lol, so true. DT's (complex) music is based on the musicians' greatness and amazing technical skills. GN'R was never that cathegory. Only BH is that. So it sounds very forced and out of place, when a band, full of Fincks, Stinsons (or Duffs, Izzys) try to make a 'complex' album, just for the sake of it. The result isn't anything complex, but a pointless gallery of simple songs with some potential, but killed by the tons of layers stuck together for no reason.

Uh, Slash looks like a man among the grandpas. He isn't as old as the others, not even near. Strange combo.

Jarmo changed his attitude when Sancturay started to fund his site. It's really that simple. The guy is paid for a job.

Beta said a year ago that the album was done and was handed to the record company. It was finished. I know that in Axl's world nothing ever get done, but if I see this from a cynic marketing point of view, it's only a sad attempt to release a 'Chinese Democracy how Axl really wanted it' album in a year, and milk the hardcores.
