If u compare trent and Axl though
What if Axl had to play everything himself and produce himself though?
Could he outdo Trent?
That's funny. If Axl had to do it all himself, there would never be an album.

He's just attention whoring. What better way for a music guy to get noticed than by saying things about famous people that most music fans agree with. I know I'm Captain Obvious sometimes, but this one takes the cake.

Sorry, is what it is.
In your opinion. There are a lot of people that would disagree. More technical? Probably. Better? That's up to each individual.

That is where you are wrong....theories at this point are played out and are completely biased to the point of silliness when trying to piece together why the band broke up, or who swindled who with the name issue, or speculating on what promoters and record label execs think about the "brand" Gnr. It is pointless banter that is played to death by the same 30 people across the dwindling number of Gnr boards.
Well, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Slash didn't swindle Axl out of the name. I know I can't prove it, but I'll still say it as though it is a fact.

I take that as an insult.

I know everything. Just ask me.

I don't believe that Axl thinks he's wrong. I'm not sure Slash believes he was wrong either, but he did accept some fault for the stuff that happened. Axl and Slash have very different music tastes and influences. It's not that surprising that they didn't get along all the time. What I don't understand is why they could never get past it. I've had the same best friend since 4th grade, but we went through a time where we argued about GnR vs Nirvana or Pearl Jam. It's natural. That didn't keep us from hanging out or playing sports together...we just knew that was a touchy subject and we avoided it for the most part. I guess if it's your way of living it's probably different.
I think if Axl ever accepted some responsibility for what happened...really ANYTHING that's happened, his life would become a lot simpler. Everything is always somebody else's fault. People get sick of that after awhile.

I think both were irrelevant after 1994. I think you could make a case that both are still irrelevant.

The irony.
People are really overstating the publics craving for a GNR reunion. Would people go see it? No doubt, but the number of people sitting on their hands clamoring for a GNR reunion is about the same as those that waited all these years to hear Chinese Democracy.
If you're talking about the people actively waiting for a reunion, you're right. The difference is that if it actually happens, the interest will exceed the interest in CD by the media and the general public. Maybe they aren't waiting for it, but everyone would know when it happened.

Let me get this straight, you would much rather see no album than the one we got?
Yes.
What was wrong with it? The booklet? The sound? I thought the booklet errors were lame but I thought the quality of the recording was great and the songs likewise. Another question of what someone define as "quality".
I see the songs in their current state as being subpar. Too cluttered, not mixed well, over-produced, etc. The songs themselves might be great...I don't know because I can't hear enough of the song to make a call on that. The booklet is unprofessional. The LP issues (if true, I didn't buy one) are inexcusable. Basically everything that has gone along with the release of this album has been unprofessional, and that reflects on the product (fairly or unfairly).
I'd rather see Chinese Democracy than no Chinese Democracy. I'd rather see demo recordings than no recordings at all. I like music. I like this type of music and I welcome any I get.
Both of these are bad arguments IMO.
You enjoying the product and the product being good are 2 different things. You can enjoy it all you want and you can crave all the demos in the world...that doesn't make the product quality or professional. Some people like killing people...that doesn't make that acceptable either.
I am happy for everybody that enjoys CD. What you don't seem to understand is that the thing you enjoy has basically ended any chance of this GnR being relevant. So congrats on enjoying it, but now you have to deal with the bad that goes with the good.
