does chinese demcoracy make gnr cool to your parents?

My Dad got me into Guns in the first place.  He had a copy of UYI2.  I loved it, so for xmas i got him UYI1.  (more for my own interest - i was a kid).  Finally i heard appetite and that was it.

Not a fan of chinese democracy at all though.  I prefer hard rocking stuff and CD has too many ballads.  My Dad hates the Nu GNR.  But, he loves Velvet Revolver!  legend!

I'm 33 with two kids who are 13 and 8.  My husband and I have raised them totally on stuff from our high school and jr. high days.  I'm not saying we don't throw some other stuff in there, (Willie Nelson- huge jump, I know), but they definitely have a love for the "old school" stuff.  My 8 year old daughter's favorite song of all time is Paradise City, (she'll even take it over Hannah Monatana and the Jonas Brothers), and my son has an ipod full of Metallica, GnR, AC/DC, and more.  We listen to Chinese Democracy everyday, and we all sing along together.  My son has even added a couple of the songs to his myspace.  I love being able to ride in the car together and not fight about what we are listening to.  Ya gotta raise 'em right, ya know?

Oh, and my mom, who is pushing 60, will never admit it, but she loves GnR too.  She got so used to it with me growing up, that it just grew on her.  She knows more about them than she would ever want anyone to know!

Thats the stuff that kids should be really listening to when i become a Dad i hope my kids are like yours in the music area it would be the greatest

Yeah, it's nice that I don't have to worry them trying to turn 'Lil Wayne or something that I cannot deal with.  There is some hip hop stuff I can stand, but it has to be old school.  I try to appreciate everything and hope my kids will do the same.  I just thank God they are into my bands.  My son really listens to it all, ya know?  He is trying to figure out what all the songs are about.  He even prefers VH1 Classic to MTV.  It's great.

what so u havent tryed to explain to him what the songs ment or are u just gona let him find his own way in that area

You loved UYI2 yet you're not a fan of CD because there are too many ballads?  Now that's some counterintuitive logic if I've ever seen it

I tell him my take on what they mean, but I like for him to come up with his own idea.  He usually follows my thinking somewhat.  As an English teacher, I'm big on people having their own interpretation!

I really doubt that "parents" like Axl Rose's voice, above all as Axl sings with his high vocal range, besides guitar distorsion like CD, Better, Riad, Schackler, IRS, etc...

I know, but I think the idea of the topic is about parents who is not get used to listen Hard Rock Music.
