My interest is pretty much gone. Its hard to believe that Chinese Democracy has just been released and the message boards are dead. The band seems dead as well. Nobody seems to give a fuck in that camp, the release was a botched job and not a soul made any effort to get involved with the release either. (meet&greets promoting solo albums dont count)
I seen the album in the supermarket today for £7, nestling at #53 on the rack. Its right there for £7 in supermarkets and £9 or £10 in music shops, where thousands of people browse all day and its still plummeting off the radar.
I havnt heard any new songs on the radio since the couple of weeks surrounding the release either.
Seems like nobody gives a fuck anymore.
So muchfor the "monumental campaign" launch, what a fucking line that was.

Live Era has some awesome moments and some very flat moments. The best performances would fit on one disc. I was a little disapointed when I got it home and listened to it though, it didnt really capture the power of the bands live performances. I'd never heard Its Alright before buying it, that was fucking amazing hearing it for the first time, Axl sounds incredible.
The Spagetti Incident is fucking awesome, if you like your music rocking, that album has it in spades. And honestly imo, that album has the best sound quality of any GN'R album.
Down On The Farm, Black Leather and I Dont Care About You are amongst my favourite songs by GNR.

we all like different stuff and I don't own the Spaghetti Incident, Greatest Hits, or Live Era!
Greatest Hits doesnt count. But why didnt you ever buy the others?

Casual fans dont "wait" 18 years for anything.
You know that some so called hardcore fans on other fan sites dont even own The Spaghetti Incident?
Chinese Democracy is a bit too boring to be on repeat for 2 months straight.
I've been listening to Riad, Scraped, Shacklers IRS and Madagascar a fair few times a week recently. I like them a lot. I bought the album on vinyl last week and listened to the whole album. I'm going to sell it though, every record has inner groove distortion. Its a pity the outer songs sound sweet.
I dont really care for If The World, TWAT, Sorry and Prostitute at all anymore, they are ok but dont do much for me.
Shacklers has grown on me quite a bit, I get the urge to play it (loud)quite a lot. I have never got Sorry and never get the urge to hear it, honestly I couldnt care less if I never hear it again. I'm amazed at how popular it is.

I wouldnt be suprised if Axl did that out of spite or revenge.
Also he can come online spreading seeds of discontent saying "oh guess what? You know who (my evil, lying former employees) are suing me yet again...blame them for all my failings because I'm fucking innocent."

A touch of realism, nice

I wonder if its time I just accept GNRs best days are in the past. I bought UYI1 on vinyl today and sat and listened to November Rain for the first time in a long time...wow! Street of Dreams and Catcher sound like a childs attempt at flattery compared to the slickness and precision of every single instrument and note in that song, as well as the others on the album.
I'm a huge Pink Floyd fan, but I definently prefer the Roger Waters era over the Post-Waters era. There are some inspired moments in the 2 albums they made after he left, High Hopes is one of my favourite songs of all time. As much as I like those albums and as good as they are, I know they are weaker to what Floyd produced in their prime.
Thats not something I get hung up on, its just a fact, and I'm happy to have got those other albums after Waters left because they are good albums. I dont even compare them to the others to be honest, its not worth it, I have them in my collection and can give them a spin if ever I feel like it.
I think Chinese Democracy is similar, as is the other guys post GNR material, its good, but just doesnt have reach the same heights as what they produced in their youth and in their prime. It wont have the success that GNR had in their prime - and their prime was past when Spaghetti Incident came out.
It was the huge build up that convinced me it was going to be a genuine masterpiece...getting a plain old decent rock album was a bit of an anti climax.
Casual fans also expected something revolutionary and the anti climax might have made it seem poorer than it actually is.
