Chinese Democracy is a great album. Truly rock and roll record in the tradition of GNR.

what?!?!?! :shake:

There is nothing rock n roll about Chinese Democracy. I attempted to listen to it again last night. it has none of the elements of true GnR. Any moments that could potential be traced to what GnR was are easily traceable to "already fucking done this" realizations. It is so bad.

i wasn´t talking about the music, but the tradition of old rock and roll records made for disturbing your parents, that kind of shit that your mom would go and say "please turn that shit down"...even the lyrics are fucked up and i love them..musically it does have some classic Axl-Gnr moments, but also goes further...i love the title track, shackler´s revenge, Better is a great song, Madagascar, there was a time, irs and street of dreams...

are you a parent strat?

Guys, Guns n' Roses have never been less than an embarassingly bad band.

AFD had plenty going for it at the time, spenno.

Saying that GnR were always "embarrassingly bad" means not recognizing the talent of the musicians that this band once consisted of because their singer is an ass, which is pretty stupid.

Alternatively, one could simply dislike the music enough to find it embarrassing and bad. :wave:

Guys, Raziel is right.

Appetite is a killer album, if you don't hear that, you're fucking crazy!

Speaking of being fucking crazy, this is good stuff. I love me some acoustic jammin'.

Here are some of my favorites GNR songs, and im leaving the obvious hits out and none of the covers they did with Spaghetti incident:

Estranged: everything about this one is good...except the video. Here´s a cool live version, with Slash stealing the show.

Its so easy: Axl low vocals are great, and the bass intro shows how cool Duff is...the chorus also is a highlight.

Garden of eden: well , this is just badass.

Right next door to hell: How cool is that bass intro? and the guitars kicking in? Another great chorus.

The Garden: well it has alice cooper, the slide guitar at the beginning with the now i wont? its pretty nice...and i love Axl´s vocals here.

Better: well, i love it...the intro, the " no one ever told me when i was alone..." line, and Axl vocals are great.
