Re: Dj Ashba and Dizzy Reed: "We're working on a new album"
It's not black and white. It wasn't all Axl's fault, and it wasn't all the labels fault. It's grey. It's somewhere inbetween. The two sides don't click and make mistakes, fuck up, don't agree with everything. Axl's ways of doing things vs all the stuff we've heard just doesn't make a good deal.

Re: Dj Ashba and Dizzy Reed: "We're working on a new album"
I really believe Better wasn't the first single because Robin left.
It's quite plausable.
I honestly think the album is good, I feel that with a video clip, and if the band and Axl had been booked on everything in the media, then I think a lot of people would have got into it.
But the way it went down was fighting up stream, it's not the traditional band, hell it's not even the players from the 2002 band (well it is on the record but not around the place), then there's zero promo from the band, and the record company ignores it. Pretty hard to make a splash like that.
I agree with Bumbles remarks though that in the future this album will be well regarded. It's controversal in that it's still named GNR, but all of the politics aside, musically it's a great collection of songs.

yeah the title track is a pretty cool track IMO, like it's got that big intro scream, and the guitar solos in the middle are pretty cool....you'd think people could get into it.....I think it just needed a kickass video and Axl all over the media talkin about stuff.

The title track's good; it's a great track in isolation, it's a killer album opener. But as a single, that lengthy intro kills it stone dead.
