would only 12 tracks on CD disappoint any of you?

[audjon]

If it's a choice between an album with 12 great songs and an album with 12 great songs + 6 mediocre songs (for 18 total), I'd actually prefer a 12-song album.

I'd also say that, if he leaves some really great material off in order to keep a certain vibe for the album, that's a great move.

I still think UYI could have been a tighter album if it had merely been resequenced and possibly shortened. Addition by subtraction, I think they call it.

same here, 16-18 tracks might mean too many fillers - particulary if they are planning to spread those so-called 'big guns' over 3 albums.

I want at least 14 songs. And i don't want them ALL 7-9 minute masterpieces. I want a few good 4-5 minute rockers. After all Guns N' Roses are a fuckin rock band

1 track on any cd would please me at the moment!

anyone with half a brain realizes 10-12 songs can already be downloaded off the internet so the album is basically in existance already..... and I would rather buy an album that took 10 years to produce that has 10 amazing tracks, than to buy a rushed money grabber cd that took 10 monthes to produce and has 1 good song (Contraband)

You forgot "MY Favourite Pillow" so that makes 11.

My Favourite Pillow, Anybody, OMG, Silkworms, Riyadh and My Fellow Americans on an album? Could have been the greatest GN'R record ever!

one of the things that bothers me most is how some people damn Chinese Democracy before we ever hear a note.

its like no matter how great chinese democracy is, it can never be as great as afd or the illusions or the old gnr.

why cant it?

why cant the new gnr destroy and bury the old gnr by creating an album so awesome it blows away anything GNR have ever done?

I know it would be very very hard but until i hear the cd im not gonna make it come up short just because i have blind loyalty to the old gnr.

some people regardless of how great CD is will never give it its full credit because their minds are already made up. i dont think thats fair.

I'll give the chance to CD, I'll 'listen without prejudice'. I hope it'll be great... But I fear Axl ruined his carreer with this 11 years of silence, the public missed his best years. Now it's time to release what he wrote in that decade.

But I doubt that CD will top the first GN'R-era for me: 'cause there is no Slash. (On the other hand: when I hear Slash's records I always miss Axl.) CD can be great, Guns N' Roses can be huge again, but it'll be something different. First, there could have been some musical changes I don't really like (OMG, Silkworms), second, I fell in love with GN'R's music when I was 13-years old. First love, yeah, my Bon Jovi experience was just a flirt? So I'm much older now and I really don't think I'll find any music that's mean so much for me than AFD, Lies and the UYIs. Even if the old band reunites someday, it won't be the same... but if anything can be that huge for me than GN'R was then it'll be the reuinon. When hell freezes over...
