Chinese Democracy Review Thread

[Layne Staley's Sunglasses]

I really enjoyed reading that review.

If only more journalists were like Peter Venkman. 

[western_chaos]

Yeah, that was a well written review. It's nice to see someone who actually thinks about what they are reviewing.

[Chief]

Ok this review is excellent, thank you!!!

I think we have a winner...possibly the best review Ive read...

The attention CD has been getting on the Stern show leads me to believe Axl may make an appearance there, in a "weirder things have happened" kind of way.  A couple of the other Gould/Azhoff clients ) have shown up to promote their retail exclusive albums.  For anybody who's been listening, they've actually spoken about the album a number of times over the last few weeks, and I find that often this type of discussion on the show precedes an appearance.

Crossed fingers.  An Axl interview by Howard Stern would be something to hear.

I hope so, that would be awesome.  That would completely make up for not doing any interviews or press to this point.  It's at the very least a good sign that the show is giving the album some pretty good reviews and Howard is actually doing live commercials for the album.  Many GNR mentions on the show today.  On the Wrap Up Show they even discussed Buckethead briefly and said he was a good guitar player.  Richard Christy (a professional musician/drummer) said that Bumblefoot was a great guitarist.  They're saying all the right things right now, that at least could leave the door open for Axl to appear on the show.  Obviously they'd jump at the chance to have him.  It'd all be up to Axl.  IF he ever does talk, which I think he will, I can't think of a much better place to do it.  Howard can ask some tough questions, but unless you're Amy Fisher, he's very respectful of his guests and won't go anywhere they don't want to go.

Howard is a great interviewer. If he knew GNRs history then I def would love to see this happen. I just think it would be a weird interview for both of them and Axl is risking a lot going on there. So I doubt it would happen.

It wouldnt be the first interview between them.

Was that a fake review?

Peter Venkman is the main character from Ghostbusters.

That interview truly says it the best. I'm glad he agrees that Better is the catchiest tune.

Absolutely Hilarious.

I don't know, I did a quick google check and saw that the same "person" reviewed the songs Chinese Democracy and Shackler's Revenge in the past, but I can't find any site that he writes for (he's only appeared on GN'R message boards). Given that, I'd be inclined to believe it's fake. Too bad, it was pretty well written. I wouldn't mind having him as a writer (and ghost killa).lol

Good catch bud.

[Alfie Bones]

Well, if Bill Murray likes the album, that's fine with me. 

[Chief]

even if it's not an official review, it's still well written and thought out.

The review is legit.

Rox Off is a private mailing list (much like GNR had - and still have: the DnB List) for rock, pop and movie enthusiasts. It's pretty hardcore, members only and bi-monthly, hence the review surfaced in the beginning of December here.

Yes, Peter Venkman is a pseudonym that he/she is using.

As far as I know.

They should have Venkman writing the content for the GN'R website.
