Guns N' Roses (Yes and Chinese Democracy, so don't make other threads on it.) (metal, genre)

Im listening to it now. I'm not all the way through yet so I reserve the right to change my opinion in time but currently I'd have to say it's a complete and utter load of ****.

I guess when one grows older, the pitches are quite harder to reach and there's obviously shortness of breath. Last performance I saw was a closing performance I think on a grammy show waay back late 90's?

I think what happened was that so many genres came and went since GnR's last album - Grunge, NuMetal, RapCore - like, what do you make your next album sound like when nothing sounds relevant?

So obviously it's NuMetal.

I hate the one song I heard, but I'm probably going to buy the record anyways solely for its historical significance.

Well theirs good Nu and bad Nu.
Like Linkin Park or SOAD?

I'm listening to the album right now on myspace. I'm only on the first song so I don't really have an opinion on the album yet, but I'm just kind of amazed that the thing is actually finally really coming out. I honestly didn't think it would ever happen.

**Janszoon** · 11-20-2008, 08:57 PM

Just finished listening to it. Meh. It's not horrible but it's not that great either. Several of the songs had promising beginnings but they quickly turned bland.

It doesn't feel like GNR any more. Velvet Revolver is more GNR than current GNR is, honestly. And where did Axl's soul go?!

The main things I loved about GNR were a) Slash and b) the spirit Axl put into his vocals, and I both are no longer there.

Buuuut of course I'll buy it since it is GNR.

I'm listening to it right now for the first time,I'm all the way to the 5th track...I don't know still can't believe it's out...I think I might liked a couple of them,but I have to check them all out at least a few times before I can have a real opinion

Angel's Punishment · 11-22-2008, 07:43 PM

Some of their songs are decent enough. I just try to think of it as a different band. If I think of it as GNR, it's a disappointment.
