Hey jarmo,

[Wooody]

i actually though fall to peices did have that classic rock vibe.

the difference is that not everybody loves it...

nothing is loved by everyone.

I think that Contraband is a solid record, but far away from being a classic rock album. It's not bad at all. Some songs have some sort of identical tune in it; and some people have to get used to it, just like I did.
"Spectacle" is the best song in my opinion, but everybody prefers something different. And it is cool that way.

But the major point is, this is a "Guns N' Roses" board. 99% of the visitors come here to read news about GN'R in the first place. The other sections have been created by GN'R fans who share the love for other things too. So it will always have a different point of view on VR for example than on a "normal" VR board. A lot of people I have talked to on the net or personally are disappointed by Contraband, they expected something better. Especially when you look at the members of the band. The potential is bigger than the stuff they have done so far.
I dislike Scott for several reasons. I don't like his voice on some songs, I don't like his stage presence and other stuff, but that didn't stop me from buying Contraband the day it was released. I wanted to hear their music so that I could be able to either change my mind or to get my thoughts and fears confirmed. It was a little mix of both things, but the disappointment was slightly bigger.
Judging from this first album (I have nothing else to judge from) and judging from his and the other members other works I really doubt that there will be some "ground-breaking" songs on Libertad. I hope I am wrong, but I will know when I have the album here. At THIS time I can only assume things by looking on the past stuff.

As far as song writing skills are concerned only some of Izzy's solo work had some major rock riffs that "touched" me, but that's again only from a personal point of view.

Everything on this board is in fact from a "GN'R fan's point of view", so people should get used to it.
People who started with Contraband may think of it being a great album, but I don't, because I know what great stuff Slash kicked out of his amps in the past.
And on their debut album Contraband there was nothing great in my opinion. But to make it clear again, I enjoy listening to Contraband, it's a solid rock album, but it brings tears in my eyes to hear that there is so much "quality" left that has not been used on it.

Hey Jarmo

Can you please find out why I got my 2nd demerit? Noone is telling me.

Like someone else stated, maybe just because of this.

I've been doing it for like 3 years or something. Why would it be a problem now?

I don't know. But that's all I could see.

Slither is the best track on that album, then most the rest is filler.

So true, but lyrically it just repeats itself, with the exception of You Got No Right the rest is filler or horse shit as i like to call it.
