Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Im tired of buying CDS and they turn out to be the worst pieces of shit ever.

I want to know right now from everyone.

If you knew that CD was only gonna be an average album would u still want Axl to release it?

I dont

If the album isnt great and classic, I would rather he just not release it and let us just remember how great he use to be.

So many of my heroes are disappointing now

Mike Tyson, finished cant fight anymore
seems every album I buy now is mediocre at best.

I would rather Axl not release CD than be excited, listen to it and it absolutely suck or be average.

what do u think though?"

Do u want the album regardless or are u like me and are willing to wait 10 more years if need be to ensure a great album?

So many artists come back throw some shit together and blow their comeback chance, I dont want this to happen to Axl.

ok. thanx for sharing.

do you really think axl the incredibly talented perfectionist will spend 10 years plus on an album that's not up to par?
check yourself man. not that ratings really matter but chinese democracy will beat the shit out of everything that's released nowadays. so just sit back and enjoy the ride.

I want to hear it regardless

Quality is in the ears of the listener and I'd like the opportunity to have an opinion myself.

No offense intended D and very off topic, but I'm not sure I'd be champoining a convicted rapist and all around piece of crap as a personal hero..

No chance of it being average.. it's going to have big long songs like estranged n november rain I'm sure... I would not be happy with one album n out though, no matter hwo good the album is.. I rather someone just say the album is defiently coming out or it's not at all..

I think "Chinese Democracy" will be a worldwide musical phenomenon when it's released.
Maybe not as huge as Appetite or the Use Your Illusions (that's impossible), but it will be big and Bigger than anything else right now in Rock music.
I'm really curious to see the sales... ;)

i'd want to hear it anyway.
When u've waited this long for it, a piece of shit is better than nothing.
I don't think we need worry though, it's hardly gonna suck with all the bloody time been spent on it.

Eh why do you think he is taking ages on releasing it?? he obviously thinks its not a great album yet so he will take all the years in the world until it is... hopefully in the decade.

I wonder how much time has been spent on it in real time compared to the time it was first started until it comes out?

i need to hear to it, i still believe axl is one of the greatest talents out there, and therefore his music whether accepted by mainstream or not will be quality material

just the other night on much more music here in canada they had the story of guns n' roses, slash voiced his usual opinions and what not then he also said whatever axl releases will be good, axl is a brilliant man...something along those lines


rock n' roll

I wan't Chinese Democracy to be released regardless. But I would be willing (but not happy) to wait another few years would it mean total perfection.

Total perfection is impossible to create by human beings.

Even AFD and UYI had their flaws.

Sometimes, it's even little mistakes and its imperfection, that makes an album a 5 star album.

What I don't want is a cold and overthought smart ass state of the art high tech album where all the humanity and emotion has been polished out of the finished product.

Sometimes I think the band should release 2 versions of CD: the studio opus magnum and the same album played live in one take, incl. mistakes. Now that would be something...

Well, I know complete perfection is impossible to accomplish. But I mean as close to perfection as Axl and the guys could possibly get it. I mean personal perfection.

very true.

How would we know before it was actually released?

I don't personally judge an album by downloading live recordings or illegally leaked tracks.....

I realize there are actually some that dig ST Anger and music is subjective to a certain listener but an average album is an average album regardless of the few who will think its amazing regardless.

I just want the album to be amazing, Can u imagine waiting this long, spending the 15 bucks or so, putting it into your cd player and it just be the most horrible piece of shit u have ever heard?

It would be more disappointing than say the new Limp Bizkit or even ST Anger just due to all the mystery and hoopla surrounding it.

The time period is definitely exaggerated

I would like to know how much time a week he does spend on it.
Id almost bet he doesnt spend 16 hours a day 5 days a week workin on it.

I believe the album will be the greatest ever but this is a hypothetical question.

If to ?your ears you knew in advance it was gonna be an average album, would u still rather he release it or just keep us waiting

I would rather wait then.


Hell we have already waited this long another 5-10 years will be a cake walk.

I want to hear it even if its a 1 star EP.

It must be a great album, nothing less will do
id rather nothing (and remember Axl when he was great) than something mediocre that will tarnish the legacy (of Axl)

I bet Axl feels the same way....

D, dude, u'r just not buying the right albums man!

and the music industry wonders why sales  are down. Hello! Put out good music and the fans will buy. To my mind, the lack of solid, consistently good  acts/albums is the reason that people have resorted to downloads and boots. To be blunt: most (not all) CDs today are a waste of money. Better to buy or  download the one or two good songs. It was not always this way....

The reasons Cds today are a waste of money is because most bands put a few good songs on an album, half ass it, and hope it sells because of the name on the album. Axl is trying to make the best album he can, and if that takes more time so be it. Id rather have Axl take 6 years to make a great album, than have him put out an album  a year with just one or two good songs on it and the rest filler.

If the album was terrible I'd still want to hear it regardless and I'd still buy it!

look at it this way:
axl/slash = rock legends.
axl = mysterious and reclusive rock god.
slash = washed up and disappointing, hell, even annoying.
slash tried too hard to stay in the spotlight. axl did the right thing and avoived the tragic fate of most 70's/80's rock heroes. axl can walk out on stage and the media will be all over him. slash can walk out on stage and the media will be bored with him.

Judging by all the bootlegs of New GNR songs...

Chinese Democracy
Madagascar
The Blues
Rihad
I.R.S

if all them songs are to be included in the record...I'll be more than satisfied with it!

agreed, even 5 live songs from axl beats the shit out of everything that's been released the past 10 years. :smoking:

Thou Blaspheme  :rant:

Chinese Democracy----> 2/3 stars potencial
Madagascar----> 5 stars potencial
The Blues----> 5 stars potencial
Rihad----> 4 stars potencial
I.R.S----> 4/5 stars potencial

It's simple i am sick of waiting it's all well and good to tell us to live our lives and i am fine living mine but as a die-hard fan and want the album if it sucks i will be pissed off but i will hope the follow-up if there is one is better, ignorance is bliss and often i believe that but i want the album like everyone else good or bad i want it, to never have it i feel would be more of a dissapointment.  If it is real bad which i highly doubt or medicore which i also doubt i'll get over it and just take joy in the other great bands and albums i am a fan of, anticipation for something can be good for a time but then it can get to the point where you are just pissed off waiting, i will wait til it arrives but i want it to arrive if only to stop the endless debating about how good it will be, what the album cover will look like, what's the tracklisting who's written what etc.

id want to listen to it even if it sucked to know what axl has been doing the past 10 years, even if it would sucked it would give a nice sense of closure, just to be able to say ahhhhh its over and then i wouldnt have to come to this board anymore

Yeah, and don't forget Velvet Revolver, I mean really, who's heard of them?



If you change rock to pop, it kinda sounds like Michael Jackson....

im pretty sure ur axl.  cause yeah, im also high, but im still pretty damn sure
