There is (almost) no competition

[nesquick]

BEYONCE is one of the 2 or 3 most popular artist in the world right now. Her new album will be out next tuesday. I just heard her new single, I saw the video on MTV, I like myself some of her earlier works, I have nothing against Rn'B, I love almost every kind of music, but....honnestly...sincerely... THIS IS CRAP. All the new GN'R demos are 10 times better than her new single. Like day and night. Even as unfinished demos they are better. There is no need to worry about the success of Chinese Democracy. All the new songs/demos we heard so far are really really better.

I think there is no competition right now...

There is no "Nevermind", no "Achtung baby", no "Black Album", no "Eminem Show", to be in competition with... 
It is time to release Chinese Democracy. The road is open for a massive musical and commercial success.

Who in the band said they were worried??

[masterdan]

Funny... This is the SAME thing people said before Velvet Revolver released Contraband...

[JB9988]

hahahah funny mnm show a good cd  that was funny dude.

[Steel_Angel]

were the contraband demos as good as the CD leaks?

[Neemo]

doesn't matter waht is out there there is always "competition" in the charts

but i don't think that GnR is worried about how well the album will do...they'll just ride the wave...if it does well then they go with it, if it doesn't then the 2nd disk will be the next step

IMO, "Slither" (the final product...I have not heard any demo's by VR so I can't compare) is just as good as "Better," perhaps a little lower in my opinion if only because Axl is much better than Weiland. Slash is much better on "Slither" than the 3 GN'R guitarists are on "Better," though. I'd say that overall Chinese Democracy sounds better than Contraband from what I've heard so far of CHIDEM.

Wow Slash is amazing and that really goes with out saying but I'm way more impressed by robin/richard new stuff than I am w/ Slash/Dave

i dont want CD to compete with Beyonce
compare the new songs to something worth comparing to...
like green day, coldplay, NIN or ozzy.

do you think that the demos we've heard so far could compare to ozzys down to earth?

so far not one song I've heard is on the same level as "Dreamer" except for CITR.
so far dreamer is the best rock song IMO of the 21st century.

I bet many people will say the same thing for Chinese Democracy. no matter if it's true or not.

and down to earth is a great album. much better than a lot of crap Ozzy came up in the 70/80s.

and if ozzy is not good enough, try comparing the demos to "With teeth" the album.

seriously, you cant compare weiland with axl.... i mean cmon...

Ozzy is amazing.. I'm not even gonna go there. But you have ..I don't even know how to reply to this.

Yea, your talking about two totaly different buying groups. people buying beyonce will not be buying GnR. and vice versa

Yeah. Release it whenever; stop with excuses like there are other albums coming out.

but i don't think that GnR is worried about how well the album will do...they'll just ride the wave...

You can say that about the rest of the band, but Axl is the only one with all to lose. It's his wave.
