Let's remember just how good Chinese Democracy is....

[-Rob-]

Of all the GN'R albums, I find myself listening to 'Democracy' far less than the others.

I'm so surprised!

I don't know what do to.... My whole world view has changed!

He was only stating an opinion or is that not aloud on a forum??? No need to be so childish and sacastic about everything you do, the novelty wore off 2 years ago.

And a guy with "slash" in his username is here to defend him. Everything going as planned.


Read the fucking topic.

Both of you.


Another lame attempt at trying to street a POSITIVE thread into something else by the people with "honest opinions".

Right, if I am so anti-CD and supposedly "hoping for the demise of GNR" could you please find a post I have ever made that talks negatively about the album or the new band? Humour me please.

A little saying we have over here: "On ye bike son!"

I find the album to go good with the GN'R body of work. Picks up and moves on from the UYI albums

Exactly my sentiments, picks up where UYI's left off and gives a modern twist to it.

Yeah its right there. Out of all the gn'r songs recorded i'm not a big fan of only 5 songs in the whole body of work. & they came from UYI 2. So i'd give CD an A

Yeah, it's a good record, but we seem to be the only few who care.

So? Do you need others to appreciate the record?

I don't understand the logic in putting out a quality record that was a decade and a half in the making, then release ONE official single (which, in my opinion, is the weakest track on the CD), release ZERO official video singles, and not tour in a timely fashion to promote the CD.

Do you really wanna use this thread to whine?

As a matter of fact, yes- I would like for others to appreciate the record.

It didn't take just word of mouth for 'Appetite For Destruction' to become one of the biggest sellers of all time. It took a classic video in the form of "Welcome To The Jungle" to get the old GN'R discovered, then it took a video and radio single for "Sweet Child O' Mine" to bust the thing wide open.

Sadly, the majority of the U.S. population thinks there can never be a Guns N' Roses that does not include Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Steven/Matt. They will simply ignore Chinese Democracy, no matter how good it is.

That's why somebody needs to get off their ass and push a single and/or video, with "This I Love" being my recommendation. It's not Best Buy's job anymore to promote the record. They've held up their end of the deal, to carry it.

I'm not whining, I'm trying to get someone to give a shit and promote this album the way it ought to be promoted.

YES the kids of today are growing up on old gn'r. Thats why the new album gets no love. Radio doesn't eveen play it any more witch is sad because i know ppl that work here for radio that like the album...But don't play it because the get calls for all the old songs...i called in for BETTER 7 times afew months ago and it didn't get played once.

The topic is about HOW good CD is right?  How good is it?  Its a question in the topic. A question left to discuss in this thread, right?  So saying its good, but not as good as Appetite, is a legitimate and ON TOPIC statement in this thread, right? Or Is this thread just supposed to be "Chinese Democracy is the greatest ever" posts over and over?  If so, whats the point?

It's about talking about how GOOD it is, yes, not just randomly saying you listen to it less than the other albums. Does that contribute to the thread at all?

That being said, I still think Chinese Democracy is the best album I've heard. After taking a break from it from some time (to not wear it out completely), I just recently "rediscovered" it, I realized all over again how much of an astonishing album it is. It perfectly describes all the feelings I relate to. The heartbreak, the rock n' roll attitude of not giving a fuck what others say and finding your own way, no matter how long it takes and no matter how much you are pressured, everything. And it's all done with such perfection, and with W. Axl Rose's voice on top! How much better can it get?

The topic is not phrased as a question.  It's a statement.  The title of the thread is not, let's discuss how you feel about Chinese Democracy, good or bad.  There are PLENTY of other topics littered with complaints.  This one was not supposed to be filled with any.  It's quite simple really.

I think the point is that people should take a little time out from their whining to play the album and realize how great it is.



It's not about comparing. Comparing albums to each other and picking your favorite is a Dead Horse topic.

Sorry, jarmo.

I had no idea that the frequency in which I listen to the album would be construed as de-railing a thread or worthy of one of your classy one-liners.

In my defense, this is the first forum that I ever belonged to where only one track thinking is tolerated.

You really have no defense to fall back on. You should be aware of your surroundings by now.


No, you're supposed to listen to the whole album. Not just one track!

No wonder you don't get it.

No, I'm not being serious about the one track thing....

Haha, I was thinking the same thing when I read his post!
I was wondering which track was the one he was thinking about.

Its not, its just tiring that no matter what, there are a few people here who feel the need to remind us everytime that they post that they prefer the older gnr lineups.  Come on now, isn't that basically the message you were trying to convey with your post?   The same message you have in the 203 posts before that one.  We get it.
