When the disc comes out, I'll post my review and it will all be settled.

Fragility in his resolve to pursue his creativit vision?? Absolutely not.
Fragility in his oversensitivity, a desire for critical and public acceptance and current relevence?
Positively so.
I could agree with this.

Me too.
I've been a fan of Finck's for a long time and am looking forward to hearing from him.
I've got no use for Fortus as a performer but I'd still enjoy reading what he has to say in regards
to being in GNR...

Total Guitar and Kerrang! even tho kerrang r crap journalists, they have their own tv channel and their own radio which i hav 2 admit does giv quite a bit of airplay 2 guns.

Fuck the magazines dude, I mean no offense to any journalists who happen to be member of this board but fuck man it seems to me that all these pricks are wannabe musicians who sucked so now there gonna exact vengance upon artists they deem unworthy. Its all subjective crap, and I cant really take what they have to say (which is basically the opinions of bitter failed musicians) to heart. But I will say this I dont think that I will take any stock into anyones opinion when it comes to Chinese Democracy because its been such a long time that I know Im gonna love it.
I mean if Axls the perfectionist they say he is then it cant be anything less than that. Or maybe Im js being optimistic.

I'm not gonna pay any attention to the reviews untill i hear the whole cd. I'd like to be able to match my opinion up to theirs after hearing it. After all I think that a large amount of the press will be fairly negative so it won't do me any good to use their opinions as a reference point when pressing play for the first time.
This tends to be my over all view of all reviews (books, movies, cd's, etc...) Where do they find the people that write these reviews? 90% of the time they have a completely different outlook on the product than I do, and what makes them qualified to write the review anyway?? Are they an expert? do they have in field experience? Christ... Vanilla Ice has music industry experience.... does that make him qualified to rate a CD for ME?
The people who write these reviews are the same people who are asked to be part of top 100 of all time lists. Every year the list changes. Think about it, in just the last few years we have seen things like Jack White (White Stripes) near the top of the 100 best guitar players of all time, but he'll mysteriously drop over 95 places when noone remembers him 2 years from now...... Also there was a top 50 Metal bands of ALL TIME and Linkin Park was like #3..... who is behind these votes... the same people that review these albums..... I wont even go back ten years or so to the talk about 311 being one of the best bands ever.... I can already hear the early teenage members of this board looking for people to tell them who 311 are.
As for the estimates on Sales Figures. Keep in mind that the indusrty is so saturated with artists and media outlets that albums dont sell like they used to. To even hold Lies up as a benchmark is a bad idea. I saw people throwing up figures like 5 million US and 10 Million world wide....... after how many years??

Good, insightful replies, I must say ... albeit sometimes off topic.
