Chinese Democracy vs Appetite for Destruction

[eNgIeS]

Tastes differ. Unreleased or not,

I'd take Better and IRS over any song on AFD without a morsel of hasitation.

Chinese Democracy > AFD

 

see this is real scary. This is like bordering on bad obsession, stalking. You sure ur not a single white female u know like the movie

Its posts like these that lead me to believe the new GNR fans here (well a majority) are obsessed so much with Axl that they're blinded from reality. Its quite scary actually u know like a stalker kinda scary

Um... That's random.

Anyway, I think that There Was a Time and The Blues are stronger than many songs off of AFD, so he's/she's not alone.

Not random when u see such an idiotic remark. Its the remarks of an idiot, or the remarks of a crazy obsessed fan that would tell Axl with a straight face that his crap smells like roses. Its quite scary seriously its psychotic & blind to wats going on

By the way, she said they're better than ALL THE SONGS on AFD, not many songs. But even so, that would be incorrect. Maybe a few songs, but many songs? maybe u r deluded since the music is relatively new it sounds better but come back in a year or 2 & u may feel different. Example Contraband i considered a 9 outta 10 album from Velvet Revolver, but after a year or 2 of listening its more like a 7.

Better is a great song, I.R.S. is decent enough, T.W.A.T. is good if a bit too lengthy. But to say these songs are better than Welcome to the Jungle, It's So Easy, Mr Brownstone, Nightrain, Paradise City, Sweet Child O'Mine & Rocket Queen is ludacris

Better is a robin song still you say Axl. A Band is not a one person.
And I'm a fan of this band and the music. That the reason I'm here.

Who is obsessed with Axl?  The stalker is YOU.

[ppbebe]

Wow. Just wow.
either you're not a real GN'R fan or your just a little too high on Axl.

What is a real fan? Do your expecting the band not to surpass the past, hating everything it does or doesn't and hoping it bad luck make you a real fan? If so, then I'm happy to be counted out.

Lol im not obsessed at all im a big Axl fan & support his new band same as im a big fan of the rest of the ex-members. I however dont get redicolously close to kissing Axl's ass like u & others seem to do. Part of that is saying that this new band is better than the oldband which is so wrong on so many levels. Go write to Dr Phil or a psychiatrist coz u need help

For the love of God, people have their OWN opinions, accept it!

If you don't like it, fine, but don't come and say the same stupid things over, over, over, over, over, over, over and over again.

Cut the crap already. I haven't ever kissed any part of him let alone his ass and I never will.

When I got to your state and can't talk without insulting the people with different view, I will. Thank you very much.
Your arrogance is totally beyond me.
My heart depends on me. You can't force your opinion on me.

I wasn't a huge fan of any paticular band till I heard Chinese Democracy.
So I don't undestand you and others  kinda "love to hate" obsession that verges on abnormality toward Axl or anyone.

I do like the old band (one of classic bands) albeit - when I see the old GNR I can't help but focus only on your dear ol Axl but when I see new band I look at every member. it's a fan mentality, I guess.

Same here. I was looking for something different, and I stumbled upon live versions of Madagascar and Chinese Democracy, and I became fascinated with the new band.

As much as I like the old band, I'm a new GNR fan at heart - Their songs just mean more to me.

im not sure if this has been posyed before, i couldnt find it on search, so here goes

Does anyone in here think that Chinses Democracy will have as much of an impact on the music world as AFD did??

which the band being silent for the best part of 15years, and not being the same band as in 87, do you think the album will have a massive impact and go on to be a classic like AFD??

i sure hope it does, the material i hear is good, but im unsure IMO wether its groundbreaking like AFD material was

This topic,like every topic in GNR world, has been discussed  ad naseum, but hey, at  least you tried. The answer is that nothing will ever top AFD.

from my opinion, I think its imposible to do another AFD and he shouldnt,it wouldnt be honest for someone in there 40's to do an album about being living the wild rock life style and being hungry to make it and get out of the streets or the jungle,hes not in the jungle anymore he became sucessful and thats why the Illusions sound much difference which I apreciate for the art it is and amazing songs like Estranged,November Rain,Dont Cry,Civil War etc.,those songs are some of there best and you can put in a good argument for them being there best,those songs were complex and smart and beautiful long epics,an artist shouldnt be one dimensional and one style thats when you get dated and people become bored of hearing them same album time after time,I hope this album is as diverse as the leaks,thats what makes it exciting is something new,fresh,exciting,different and honest,it wouldnt be honest if he wrote AFD part 2 living in Malibu it would be sad to see someone try to hang on to the past for fans and hes above that so he dosnt need to,this album will be awesome in a whole different way considering it will sound much different,the guy writes great songs about what hes going through and I enjoy listening to the honest and insight his music has into his life that maybe you can relate to if you understand what hes getting at or going through

[oldgunsfan]

AFD, as much as I love it, and as much it gets put up on an untouchable pedestal, has two weak tracks that could've easily been left off (You're Crazy and Anything Goes).

I'll take those two "weak" tracks over any of the leaks we've heard any day.

Agreed, and the acoustic track of Your Crazy on Lies is 10x's better than the electric version on AFD

[Wolfpac]

Better and IRS better than anything on AFD? Ok... I understand people have their opinions and stuff but I think that's going a little overboard. I personally hate the demos/leaks and to compare them or even put them in the same league as anything from AFD is insane. That's only my opinion of course.

[G2N2R]

I see a little trend here..
The older people who have followed GNR far longer and pretty much grew up on there music are offended by anyone saying that Chinese Democracy will be anything close to as good as AFD

The Younger people seem to be into the "New GNR" and think that CD will be greater then AFD, this makes sense seeing as the songs they heard from Chinese Democracy are new and fresh..

IMO no one can say one way or another, yes we've all heard a few track leaks from Chinese Democracy but the only ones who know what songs will end up on the CD when it comes out are GNR and to base your opinion of a CD on 4 or 5 songs which may not even make the cut seems a bit messed up. I absolutely love Better, I.R.S, T.W.A.T., Chinese Democracy.. hell pretty much all the leaks i've heard, but AFD is better at this point in time.. until Chinese Democracy comes out anyway, then we can all judge for ourselves

[Rob]

I'm a younger fan who got into the band in 2002.  Unless there's like 10 songs none of us have heard yet that are way better than the leaks we have heard already...than there's no way CD will be anywhere close to Appettite.  The leaks are pretty decent songs, but if the same songs were put out by someone other than Axl Rose then most of you wouldn't be nearly as into them as you are.  CD is shaping up to be a pretty good album.  Appettite is widely considered to be one of the greatest rock albums ever released.  You're kidding yourself if you think CD will even be in its league.
