Bri, I hear ya.....credit card debt is the killer. That and people buy houses that are too big for them or they spend more than they can afford. Of course, the predatory loan sharks shouldn't have let them borrow that much anyway. I hope all these mortgage companies go completely bankrupt. I can't stand the fact that our gov't is bailing them out because of THEIR crooked loan practices.:flame::flame:

I have already given up. I still think something will be released from the Chinese Democracy sessions, but I am not sure what and not sure when....:ummm:

For the record, IF the leaks are the best we will get........I will be highly disappointed.:sick: Whether or not you like the record is a subjective thing anyway. I mean if I was to go back to May 1991 prior to the release of the Illusions and compare the unreleased Illusion songs I heard played live in Noblesville Indiana (Nov Rain, Estranged, Dust n Bones, Double Talkin Jive, 14 years, etc) plus the studio Civil War that was already on radio, those songs blow away (imo) the 10 potential tracks we have heard from the new band. I like the new band songs, but they simply aren't as good as Estranged or Civil War. Again though, subjective opinion.

I still think Axl has some hidden gems and that the songs we have heard will be alot better once properly released, but I do have lingering doubts after a decade of waiting. ....The new band contractually started on May 1st 1998 when Slash and Duff officially left the books of Geffen and were relieved of costs for producing a new gnr record...just an fyi.:peace:

Canter statement from MyGnr today
"Axl sounds great the record sounds great the songs are great. Also I heard the record in Aug. of 2006 so its hard to remember that much more about it. I just remmember it was very good. Also they may have added some things to it since then."

Canter statement from HTGTH today
"What I was trying to say is Slash should  come clean and apologize to the press for some things he has said and done over the years. I have asked Slash to do that and to stop saying things to the press about axl. I think the reason Slash won't do that is because in his mind he won't look Cool. With Slash everything has to be so cool. So the fact that Slash won't do that I feel that its like being in kindergarten. I want Axl to be able to look at Reckless Road and enjoy it,but how can he when there are photos of Slash everywhere. It's like looking at you wedding album after a bad divorce and now your in a new marriage that your very happy with. I think if Slash would Apologize, there would be less tension."

Now I am not suprised that these comments haven't gotten any response because they are positive for CD and Axl and are critical of Slash. Now we got nice long threads about Slash's book and his version of the breakup. Another long thread about some fucking photographer's comment about 2 songs he alleged he heard from the album. Yet, we get some other WAY different perspectives from an objective (at least in regards to the Axl/Slash situation), close to the situation insider and......no comments from the peanut gallery.....:ummm:
