There's going to be a shit ton of negative reviews. Most people will never give it a fair shake because of all the baggage, 14 years, 13 mil ect. No album, not even some of the greatest of all time, can live up to the hype that has surrounded this one. Axl shouldn't give a shit about any of these reviews, positive or negative. He's already cemented his legacy. Even if CD is just him farting into a microphone it won't tarnish that legacy.

Personally, I like 90% of the new material I've heard. Even if it wasn't branded with the GN'R name. I just want a GN'R album, I could give a fuck less if it's commercially successful or changes the music scene forever.

Great news. I think I'm going to celebrate with a session.:haha:

Anyone else think that none of the 3 new songs that leaked in June will be on the album? Seems like those three were pulled out of the vault.

I think it will be the 7 we've already heard and 3-5 unheard songs. I won't be disappointed at all. I chose to hear the material before the album came out.

Everyone is just nervous and rightfully so. We've been this close before and then, well.... nothing.

Even though you make a very good point about the other consoles, the Xbox 360 is the more popular console of the two. The 360 has sold about 10 million units in the U.S. and the PS3 has sold about 6 million units. I think what most people are getting at or at least me, is that GN'R can't just let their first official release in almost ten years go unmentioned. It would be the equivalent putting a single out with no promotion and then promoting the album after it's released.

The game only, drops this Sunday for the 360. Hopefully the announcement on their official website is not the only promotion for this song.

I don't see what it hurts. It's not like he played with the Jonas Brothers or Miley Cyrus.
