in my opinion axl is just flat out crazy. he`s a fuckin maniac.....  i don`t think anything is or ever was staged and that`s not meant as a praise.

do you have the shakler`s mogg file?

the isolated vocals are just that, the vocal track. there are like 10 different tracks. two of them being the main vocal track and one being the "background vocals + everything else background" track.

well most people i know like most of the record....  as for the public: CD has been slated by one of the biggest radio stations in my area. in a big german tv show there was a question going "which band released the first record for 15 years called chinese democracy, that was pulled to pieces in reviews and still made it to number one in thirteen countries?"

there are positive reviews, and probably just as many as negative ones, but obviously many people are just picking up the negative ones. i guess there are lots of people out there who waited for years to give axl a big fuck you for breaking up the old band....

yeah... it`s one thing to spend a lot of your time on a gnr board being happy and talking about your favourite band, but it`s an entirely different thing to spend a lot of your time on a gnr board to complain and bitch about a band. a band which might even be your favourite band however.... and i think that`s what some people are doing on this board. pathetic if you ask me.

reading some of the earlier posts in this thread, i have to say that  i understand your feelings to some extent. i didn`t really feel the need to post about gnr since december 2006. it doesn´t mean i`m less of a fan or anything, i just don´t see any sense in it. i mean most of the time there simply was nothing to write about, but even now i don´t feel the need to write something. of course i`m checking the boards daily though:haha: the same goes for the "real world". some years ago i was very eager to tell my friends and people around me about gnr and everything. to an extent where it just went on their nerves. now as the album is out, i don`t care about that anymore. i don`t care if anyone thinks the album sucks or anything. i love it and that`s enough for me. like madagas said, a weight is off my shoulders.

@bono: the only reason you didn`t buy CD is, because you didn´t have to in order to listen to it. you probably downloaded all the leaks you could get and listened to the final product as soon as it was available on the internet. you`re fooling yourself if you think you didn`t buy it for any other reason. that being said, it would only be fair to buy it now....
i bought the record 4 times by the way. and james, i wouldn`t tell you if it wasn`t the truth. one copy is for my car, one for my stereo and the other two ones were long promised presents.

i don`t care if axl or gnr appreciate their fans or not by the way. it`s not about that to me. i`d take axl being axl about bands who tell their crowd they love them and they`re the best crowd they ever played to any day....

yeah....    just listened to the supposed hidden track as well:haha:..

this was a fake "leak" years ago already.
