HE SAID HE LOVED IT AND IT FEATURED THE BEST GN'R LINEUP IN HISTORY!

HE ALSO SAID THAT HE'S NOT WORTHY OF LISTENING TO SUCH A PERFECT RECORD OMG!!!!!!!

I remember that Zakk interview...isnt that the one where he came out of the closet?  Oh yeah and mentioned a collaboration with Fred Durst he was working on?

yeah, of course it was.  i guess it's just impossible for some people to believe that someone could love chinese democracy. 

all the closed-minded people try so hard to rain on the fans' parade. 

No one can make you
Do what they want to
You know you're stronger
Than the lies that they tell you

just in case, falungong69 THe Glow is saying bank of America and friends were pulling your leg.

all zakk's comments about cd I've seen are

 "What do I think of Chinese Democracy? The wife bought me a copy and it got smashed in my luggage, so I had to fuckin' buy another one. No, Axl didn't send me a copy. But he's a beautiful guy."

This has to be one of the funniest misunderstandings i have ever seen!

[Wooody]

If would make sense if Zakk actually had good song writing skills.

[bodine]

'Girl, you are so pretty/girl, you are so fine/girl, I brought you this flower/girl, would you be mine?'

speaking mainly to the first verse, admittedly not my fav off the CD but I gotta give you your props, you put some thought into it!!!

[Bitch Slap Rappin]

Well we all know Zakk is first a lead-guitarist before anything else. He works really well with a lead singer as far as songwriting goes. I admire his appraisal of C.D. What is even more crazy is I can imagine getting rid of all the guitar players on CD and Zakk doing it all. (I'm not implying that the guitar players on CD aren't good. But from where Zakk stands it would of been more of a killer cd if it was Zakk and one other guitar player. (They'd probably be touring already.) lolo

Why, thanks! 

yea there're too many great songs on cd to decide your fav.

[Smoking Guns]

Excuse me but GNR covered one of their songs.  Zakk please you're a drunk and sweatheart it's only rock n rock, wasn't meant to be that serious.  Try to have a good time.

I think he is talking from the 80's on up.... Demond Child etc....  Some of those songs are freaking lame as hell.

[Skunk]

Cool Appetite mention, but i think pretty weak to call out Aerosmith like that. Not only to get on them for sobering up, but to imply that they became puppets like britney who "can't write songs"?
Take a quick look at Pump, Aerosmith's popular album from that time and you'll see six of nine songs written without outside help. And Zakk's a great guitarist, but to put down Steven Tyler as a songwriter is pretty crazy. There's no comparison.

Agreed, please don't mention Desmond Child while I'm eating.
And to put it bluntly,some people have the gift of writing great songs, some simply think they do. The best songs are written by grabbing that writhing gut wrenching feeling and tearing it out by the roots while it's still warm and spreading it out into verses.
