Chinese Democracy

[Jas11n]

Any GnR fans out there?
What's your thoughts on the new album? 17 years in the making.

My verdict, not bad actually.
Different, but then it's 17 years since Use Your Illusion 1&2.
Some good tracks on it.

I've listedn to it a couple of times so far and its not bad - I must admit Axl's voice isnt as trashed as I expected (given some of the highly dodgy performances he has given in recent years). Overall it seems solid but there hasnt been any track thats really leapt out and grabbed me yet.

[Jas11n]

Particularly like "There Was A Time" and "This I Love"

Slash would have nailed some of those riffs though

[Beetie]

Quite like it although i really cant stand chinese democracy, rest is good

Those of you who aren't Planet Rock listeners might like to know that December is to be GnR's month

You need a DAB (digital) radio to get Planet Rock. I've fitted a Pure Highway DAB radio in my car. It doesn't replace whatever radio/tape/CD unit you've already got but adds to it.

You mount the Pure Highway where you can - I used one half of valcro to "stick" it to the headlining by the sunroof control panel and got it's power from inside there as well. It then radiates the audio as a FM channel which you receive as normal. You can also connect it directly to your head unit as another audio input for better quality and feed your ipod through it if you've got one

You don't need a digital radio to get Planet Rock, you can listen on-line

listened to it this morning.I cannot say i enjoyed it that much..

[Jas11n]

It's one of those albums that get better after you've listened to it a few times.
Especially this album, with it being "nearly" finished for hundreds of years
I had a preconception of how I thought and wanted it to sound, which was WAY off the mark.
Agree with Bettie, title track is a bit pants.

I've always been a huge fan of most of Use your Illusion I & II tracks and I'm certainly not disappointed with 'Chinese Democracy' though Slash' inexistence cruelly made some of the songs much less interesting than they could've been.

Nevertheless a quality LP to listen to whilst high speed cruising on the Autobahn around 1am !!! And it's hard to believe but even a band like G'n'F'n'R can mature from something pretty provocative into something more commercially glam' metal

[A80Avant]

its the same as Metallica's latest album,but it seems that that one became much nicer to my ears quite soon.This one...hmm i have my doubts.
