Personally, CD is tied with The Blues as my favorite of the new songs.

 I just love how edgy it sounds, and the chorus kicks ass. I think it's a really well-constructed rock song.. although, it sounds like they slowed it down a bit during the 2002 tour. The RIR 3 version sounded a little speedier.

i have listened to a live version of this song, and a short studio clip that was posted a while ago.

I enjoyed the live version, however the (albeit brief) studio clip sounded absolutely awesome!

It takes a couple of listens but I do like the song

It's strange in a way because it's quite an old song now

Its something different and will be a big surprise


« Reply #5 on: July 23, 2004, 10:28:34 AM »

I love it....I was happy to see they added a second solo to it. It was too short at first.  I love how it sounds so clean yet grunish on that boston promo.....Cant wait

I think the song rules. Great grungey but rock influenced feel. I love the 2 guitar solos. And the way the song kicks off is awesome. The song also has really cool lyrics, especially the end. Great song.

I really, really like it. A very catchy song. It's definitely one my fave new songs. The intro is awesome I think (especially on that radio promo 5 second excerpt from 2002).

Great tune, by far the best rock song Axl has to show so far..

Lose the goofy synth and it'd be a top 5 GNR fav for me.

I love Chinese Democracy. I also love how the band is really into playing it. You can see that they sort of wake up when its time to play it. I am sure that playing music they had a hand in is more exciting.


I love all the new tunes, including Silkworms.

I am ready for concert with mostly new stuff. The old stuff is some of the greatest rock ever , but its time to move on! Been there, did that!

I've heard a few live bootlegs of it and I got to say I like it, its not my fav new song (the blues) Hell the bootlegs sound better then half the shit on the radio imagine when the studio cut comes.

i love this song.. but the begininng of the version i have cracks me up.. i think its the boston soundboards version.. right before the guitar intro axl (most likely) does a little "woop woop woop" just like curley from three stooges and it just cracks me up..  hihi

but aside from that, the song has a really strong intro.. i only wish it was a little longer before axl kicks in.. but its still a kickass song!  peace

Thanks 2 those who went 2 Mustang Harry's on May 12th. That made my first concert experience something I'll never forget. Never did I feel like I fit in anywhere as much as I did amongst you strangers

I love the chinese style synth thing right before the first verse. very clever. If this is what the heavy stuff is going to sound like we won't be disappointed.  yes

I like it a lot, but I think the second solo feels out of place in that song.

Love it

Okay the guitars aren't groundbreaking but Axl's lyrics are so catchy its impossible not to find urself singing along to it, with a bit more work we're looking at a genuine classic (though its not far off at the mo)

I love it to death. If the grunge genre started tomorrow, instead of '91, this song could possibly be the "Teen Spirit" of the year.  It has such a rawness, but it's modern, and really catchy. Great aggression...
