The chinese democracy demos and live songs are holding up well against new album

[dave-gnfnr2k]

The demos we have heard thus far and the live songs from 2002 hold up very well against new album and singles that are out now or coming out. I got the new pearl jam and tool albums and they are not even close to  being as good as most of the gnr new stuff. I really think axl needs to drop this album soon, I think rock music needs a kick in the ass  because current bands are not cutting it.

the new pearl jam rocks, its bit poppy but it still has some great tunes man

No it doesn't

Pearl Jam is highly overrated imho

Yeah, they have a few good tunes but they'll never be as huge as GNR

No fucking way

I haven't listened to the two albums you mention, but I will agree with your asessment of the new songs so far. It blows anything away that the music world has heard in years. Nothing comes close. Hopefully GNR will play a few songs we haven't heard yet in NY so the world can see some more material he has up his sleeve.

i agree that the new GNR material has lots of promise but i also think that 10,000 Days is a extraordinary album, although it did take several listens too really appreciate it!  pearl jam's new one is a kinda weak though>  cant wait too hear more chinese democracy tracks

Even the top rock songs on the rock charts, take a song like Better and most of them dont even come close. I have given Better to quite a few friends, and most say how great the song is and they are suprised how good Axls voice sounds.

The music industry needs an enema and Guns N Roses is just the band to do it.

[BabyGorilla]

All the new albums I purchased this year have exceeded the new GNR songs but it isn't fair to compare finalized versions to demos.

[zombux]

the world needs Guns N' Roses and Tool touring together

YES!!! Pearl Jam do suck!!! And all the freakin' Pearl Jam fans who bitch "If Kurt Cobain didn't kill himself, then Pearl Jam would be known as the definitive grunge band" should crawl in a hole. Pearl Jam will, and would never have been, as creative and brilliant as Nirvana...oh, and Tool sucks too

Back on topic so I don't get banned...lol...

Yes, the GNR leaks and live tracks are amazing. Although, live track wise, I would love to hear a studio version of Madagascar and Chinese Democracy.

[Woooo!]

I think 'Better' could be a massive song. Perhaps with a bit alteration after the first half because it doesn't flow too well. I am bearing in mind it's a demo. It's just when it broke in and he sang 'The hardest part...', I just thought 'Fairwell Velvet Revolver'.

I would like to see this list of albums that exceeds the CD material.

Me too please. What good rock music came out this year anyway?

This year?? I haven't heard anything that even comes close to these CD songs since I bought Soundgarden's Superunknown album in 1994.

Nothing really. Its funny that everyone is so in agreement on Better. My band and I have been kicking it around at the last few practices. We're hoping it doesn't change much from the demo to the final track so we don't have to relearn it.

We had about 5 or 6 people hanging around at the last practice who didn't even know the song and they wanted us to add to the setlist like RIGHT NOW before it's even released. They all agreed that a song that good would go over with the crowd even though they'd never heard it!

nice choice - Superunknown is def one of the greats in any era of rock

Jeff Buckley's Grace, also from 1994, is in that league also

But I do think there has been some great rock in recent years. Perhaps it hasn't been as world conquering as it once was, but to me the White Stripes- Elephant, Green Day - American Idiot, Audioslaves debut and Muse's Origin of Symmetry are all fantastic rock albums. I'm sure I've missed a few as well

Perhaps, but Axl should still take a page out of Tool's book, and include a pair of 3D goggles, and some trippy fuckin' artwork in the CD case for Chinese Democracy

I liked the leaked tracks much better than the songs from 2002, so i'd say yes the leaked tracks are better than anything new I've heard since CB came out but not those of 2002.  I wasn't impressed with any of them.

I really loved Madagascar and The Blues. I wasn't real big on ANY of the others (i.e. Rhiad, Silkworms, etc).
