#61 Re: Guns N' Roses » Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating.... » 707 weeks ago
I listened to Chinese Democracy this weekend after shelving it for 2.5 years, hoping that a fresh listen would make me like it more.
I hated it more than ever.
It sounds so thin!
Axl's voice is OK, and I agree with Monkey and MWM that the songwriting is good (particularly Street of Dreams), but there's just not much there to enjoy.
Lots of synth noises and little noodles, several great solos -- TWAT, ITW, but not much else -- none of the riffs or choruses that made AFD, Lies & UYI I&II my favorite albums.
Some of the tracks: Catcher, Shacklers, etc. are the worst songs in my entire music collection. :shrugs:

I agree. Seriously this obsession with Axl's looks is beyond lame. How about we all post our pictures and then we can all comment on how perfect we all are. I rag on Axl a lot but never have I gave two shits about his physical appearance when it came to his body. Some of you go on and on as though your vessel is that of a greek god and Ax should be the same. I'd like to see how many of you are overwieght and half Axl's age.
But if he weren't so out of shape, he could sing better.
Aren't vocals important ... for a vocalist?

Is Axl crazy enough to gamble his mortgage for his obsession on Slash? Place your bets!
Yes!

Let's jump-start the board then, eh?
This place is like Seinfeld -- you have a bunch of good characters and the story writes itself

Ron's been so good to the fans. I wish only the best for the guy and his family. Hate to see someone so visible, going through so much pain and angst.

In my opinion ...
Ain't Life Grand > Contraband > Apocalyptic Love > It's Five O'Clock Somewhere > SLASH > Libertad

I'm with Buzz. It's likely I'll go if they play somewhere within an hour of me.
There was a poll on this site a couple years back: How far would you travel?
I think in 2009 I would have traveled 160 miles for a Nu-GnR show.
2 years later, my excitement for Chinese Democracy has shriveled-up, and I guess I'd still go just to see Axl, but I won't drive more than 50 miles.
