Anyone else shed a little tear hearing this?

no lol?


I just had alot of shivers moments!!!!

SAME! Hearing the final versions of If The World and Riad gave me shivers for like the first 10 listens! They don't anymore, but I think I'm done listening until Sunday, so they will be back when I hear them fresh in my car stereo!

It's so fucking awesome man. I can't believe it's finally here.

but its never been "Just Music" to me.

99% of the stuff on the radio is "Just Music"... this isn't.  The album is amazing, and the fact that there has been a wait of 17 years for it (1/5 of your entire life) already makes it a huge part of who you are.  Enjoy it, listen to it over-and-over because that's what it was made for.  There are plenty of people out there that don't "get" how important something like this can be... forget them!... and if this is only the beginning?  God help us.

Sound corny? Maybe, but I've already been able to start healing from a lot of bad things that have happened over the last decade just by listening to this.

It is THAT powerful for me and I hope for everyone else.

I actually thought i would cry a little...

But the album made me smile,dance & in places i had to take a break as it was so shockingly amazing & unexpected.......Worth the wait, happy to see it finished.

So happy that Axl has got through to this point , he must be really pleased to read some of the comments.

seems most people got emotional during 'This I Love' which, I will admit is a very heartfelt song, beautiful, and definitely my favorite.

But, as pathetic as it may be, I got misty-eyed during 'Scraped.' I've been kicked around all my life, always put down and always at a penalty for voicing my emotions, opinions, myself. As a result I have extreme social anxiety and not a drop of self-confidence. So when the song came on and the lyrics said...:

Some may convince you
No one can break through
I?m here to tell you
You?re worth more than they tell you

...yeah, I got misty-eyed. As pathetic as I may seem, as ridiculed as I may be for my choice of a favorite band, no one can tell me that Axl Rose doesn't "talk" to his fans. I'm not dense, I know he's singing about himself. But music is subjective and it's only as meaningful as what you take away from it. And what I take away from it is that whether knowingly or not, this middle aged man who doesn't even know of my existence is providing me with words to pick myself up with, and shit, that's worth more to me than any fucking press release ever will be.

Awesome and thanks for sharing. Those lyrics are great... and yeah he's singing about himself no doubt... but it should be cool for you to know that it seems like he's got a pretty good idea of what you're going through too. Take those lyrics to heart!

Got an advanced copy from a friend who knows a supplier and have been listening to the album repeatedly in the car...up quite loud!! Have to say there has been many moments of different emotion bursting out of me listening to the album. I did have a slightly overwhelming feeling while listening to 'This I Love'. I think alot of it is to do with the fact that I'm listening to the album I waited for all these years. And it's quite emotional to hear Axl's screams again
