    Default Chinese Democracy

    Will be released in the United States on November 23rd, exclusively at Best Buy.

    Chinese Democracy release announced.

    I don't know. I may pick it up, but I am worried G n' R is going to stray too far from it's hard rock roots in this album. Times like these makes me wish Slash was still in the band

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I've been thinking that for a while, but I am listening to some songs, so I will give some first impressions:

    Axl still has his signature sound, and it still works.

    Unfortunately, it did stray too far from it's roots. A lot of techno-style, industrial rock, Nine Inch Nails music. Dissapointing.

    But, overall, it's worth a listen for those who like the band. Depends on your opinions on the current line up.

    It was before the release off Offspring's Splinter album that I had seen this set of words to title that album (Offspring's) on a magazine, rather than it being titled "Splinter". Dexter Holland had said "Axl ripped my braids, so I'm ripping his album title". It never happened though, said to possess probability of legal complications.

    Anyway, ever since I've heard of that title, always found it very compelling. I can get the album even if I would be hearing of Guns'N Roses for the first time or if I was without having any bits of Rock music intellect.

    I suggest digging up their earlier stuff, the Slash and Duff years. You cannot compare "Sweet Child o' Mine" with "Chinese Democracy" or "November Rain" with "Prostitution" (Actual song which I found alright).

    This should be the entire thread, right here. I'm actually surprised this is coming out, I was convinced Chinese Democracy was just something Axl Rose made up to try and convince the rest of the world he wasn't washed up.

    Somebody posted the track Chinese Democracy to Youtube, so you can have a listen for free. Sounds pretty standard stadium rock to my ears.

    Oh, and dig Axl's plastic surgery.

    All us men suffer in equal parts, it's our lot in life, and no man goes without a broken heart or a lost love. Like holding your dog as he takes his last breath and dies in your arms, it's a rite of passage. Unavoidable. And honestly, I can't imagine life without that depth of feeling.-Bierut
