Re: How do you feel about CD potentially being the last GNR album?
Yep.
It's too redundant.... not just in being ballad heavy but in its subject (Slash, old band, Steph).
Even more songs in the Village Sessions doesn't move the needle in the other direction.
UYI 2 suffers similar to CD. It lucks into having the monster rocker(YCBM) on the album. Imagine the album without that.....
Chinese Democracy doesn't have the luxury of a YCBM to bail it out of a funeral dirge.
It still blows me away that he had nothing to say as an artist about the world of the 1990s-2000s. Our culture was moving fast and after 9-11, the world was changing before our eyes.
Civil War.... which is probably their best song...now stands out as an anomaly in the discography.
I know Slash bailing and classic GNR imploding was a monumental event in his life...so was Stephanie leaving....in more ways than one unfortunately....but I wish he had covered more ground lyrically. He was still in his prime at that point.
Edit
On the subject of CD being ballad heavy....
In 2004-5 Tommy mentioned the possibility of the album being short....makes me wonder if they briefly considered trimming some of the fat.
Re: How do you feel about CD potentially being the last GNR album?
We might yet be surprised by “The General” and the other tracks we have not yet heard. There could be some real masterpieces there.
What we have gotten from the storage locker could still revitalize the shows: “Atlas,” “Perhaps,” crap, Duff could have his own instrumental bass solo segment by doing “Devious Bastard.”
Yeah, we are desperate and/but the band should be, too.
Remember the Groupon offers for discount GNR tickets in 2011 or 2012? We are swiftly heading back there by the day.

Re: How do you feel about CD potentially being the last GNR album?
Tommy had some things to say about what probably lead to the reunion happening, as well as there being a lot of unreleased songs, some with vocals, some without, as well as leftovers from the original band.
Nothing new, but still interesting
