I really couldn't care much for GNR and I like most music but this album just bores me nothing makes me want to listen to it again also it has an advert in the UK claiming it's "the mot anticipated album of the decade" which is far too big headed for a band on their last legs.

did you get your free doctor pepper? thats about the only thing i care about with this album
hahaha yes!

The album is all over the place. That might be a product of how long it took to make and how many people are on it. It sounds like a mix album where the same singer is on every song.

Wait, Chinese Democracy was actually real? Like it was actually being worked on? And it was completed?!
Aw shit; now what's gonna be the music industry's equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever? Face it people, unless this album is God on tape, it'll have given more to the industry with its absence than with its presence.

Thank the heavens I found this thread! Luckily I just found a step-by-step guide to making this GnR stuff good!

1. Replace it with a new Paramore CD.
2. Tell bands that died ages ago to stop trying to come back.

Are you saying that a new paramore CD is actually good, or are you using this to point out the tragic of how dead rock is?

"And it would take a lot more time
then you got for masturbation
All they got, to rule the nation
it's just all you got to rulllllllle the nation."
...............What?

EDIT: Never mind your disgustingly right..

From what I've heard its way worse than classic GnR, which is amazing to me as the old stuff is complete crap to begin with.

I wasn't listening too closely to the song, I just brought up the lyrics because of your post...

Ok. So, I'm listening to Chinese Democracy, the song, and I can't help giggling. It's not what would conventionally consider shitty, but it's way too produced. The term overproduced just doesn't do it justice. No rock song needs this absurd level of production. Hell, I can't even think of a pop song that requires it. The multi-tracked vocals sound horrible, and as other users have pointed out, the lyrics are absurd.

I never expected Chinese Democracy to come out. So, I wasn't sitting around expecting it to be the best album ever. I can't say I'm disappointed, but my opinion of GNR was pretty neutral. I mean they had a few good songs in the 80's, but they had the worst song structures I ever heard. The multiple solo breaks in Welcome to the Jungle just seem entirely unnecessary.

Perhaps the coolest thing is that the album is already banned in China. If I was in a major band, I'd certainly like to have banned in China on my resume.

I dunno, this albums just kinda trashy. Lots of effects, very little substance. It's "alright" I guess, but I'll probably listen to it twice and forget I ever even heard it.
Exactly, without the rest of the band Axl has just been able to indulge himself and add far too much production, as he always tried to do. Its not a bad album it just isn't GNR. It's Axl and his friends spending years in a studio.
What I wan to see is the GNR original line up WITHOUT Axl Rose. Now that would be cool
It's called Velvet Revolver. Check it out sometime.

It really didn't create the reaction I expected, I got really excited for it but when it got released I didn't even bother listening to it, I guess that the anticipation is half the fun.

I really never liked GnR to begin with. There one of those bands that I don't outright dislike, if a song of theirs' comes on the radio I probably won't turn it off, but it was never really my cup of tea.

So yeah, couldn't really care any less about it coming out.

Although as someone above pointed out, the music industry now needs another "Duke Nukem Forever."

You said Bullet For My Valentine are good. I hereby declare all credibility in this thread to be gone.

Other than that, I can't say I care about GnR at this point. Once I got into Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and Black Sabbath...then rolled from there all other rock and metal that carried a mainstream sound became a second class citizen to me.

Not a fan of the Botox Boy Project (formerly known as Guns 'n' Roses). I did, however, like Death Magnetic. No, it wasn't as good as Kill 'Em All or Master of Puppets, but it was still more like classic Metallica than the abysmal mess of St. Anger.

I love GnR, but I don't know why I don't give a fuck about this album.

same with Metallica.
You didn't like death magnetic? I loved it. Anyway, 15 years for the new GnR is pathetic, especially because it sucked.

It's ok I guess, but considering how long it took him to make this shit I have a suspicion that he spent most of the time eating nachos.
