Guns n Roses Chinese Democracy

I learned something new when i looked it up

I love Black Leather

Rolling Stone says this album sounds a lot like the GNR we all know. You know, "...supershred guitars, orchestral fanfares, hip-hop electronics, metallic tabernacle choirs..." Same GNR.

Yeah, I read that review. Now, whilst I'm quite optimistic about this album, that review was just ridiculous. It irked me, to say the least.

Rolling Stone is just like Mtv :eyesore:

i think we can all say that about MTV

Personally, I haven't been a regular viewer of Mtv for over 10 years. I don't think I have even channel surfed to it in a bout 5 years. Like many others I lost interest when it was no longer a music channel. I actually watch VH1 more b/c thay have the BTM series and things like "Heavy: The Story Of Metal." Peace.

Chinese seems to be getting pretty reasonable reviews everywhere I've looked. I've not read anywhere that it completely sucks or anything. Based on the stuff I've heard I think it will be a solid album comparable with some of the better moments on the UYI albums. Will definitely be getting a copy next fortnight.

I loved The Behind The Music even if it was someone I wasnt into it was still interesting

I miss that series

just over a week to go now!!!!

Same here mostly. I watched an occasional episode of the revived Headbanger's Ball a few years ago but they played way too much metalcore and emo. They had some good metal videos but only every other third or fourth song. Now days, if I want to watch a music video, I use youtube.

just heard the second song to be released from Cd - Better and it is pretty average after a poor opening or so it seems on first listen

I quite like 'Better', it has a nice heavy chorus and another good heavy bit later on. I also just quite like the verse. Definitely better than the title track, that's for sure.

i prefer the intro to chinese democracy

For a while, VH1 Classic was playing classic metal and hard rock videos late on Saturday nights, from about 1am to 6am. I used to put the channel on and just fall into bed and fall asleep. It felt like I was 14 again and listening to the Metalzone after midnight. Peace.

The whole album is streaming now. Never heard "Sorry" before, man, it's awesome though. Doesn't really sound like anything else on the album.

I stopped watching MTV around 1993.

I don't think the free Dr Pepper is enough to get me to buy this mess.

There are young kids I know that had no idea that MTV was actually a music channel.

From what i was reading you dont even have to buy the album to get the free dr pepper

this is from Yahoo

LOS ANGELES – Dr Pepper is making good on its promise of free soda now that the release of Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" is a reality.

The soft-drink maker said in March that it would give a free soda to everyone in America if the album dropped in 2008. "Chinese Democracy," infamously delayed since recording began in 1994, goes on sale Sunday.

"We never thought this day would come," Tony Jacobs, Dr Pepper's vice president of marketing, said in a statement. "But now that it's here, all we can say is: The Dr Pepper's on us."

Beginning Sunday at 12:01 a.m., coupons for a free 20-ounce soda will be available for 24 hours on Dr Pepper's Web site. They'll be honored until Feb. 28.
