Chinese Democracy - Redux

Check out this wicked G N' R mashup yo!!!!http://hypem.com/popup.php?current_url=L3NlYXJjaC9ndW5zJTIwbiUyMHJvc2VzLzEv&list=eNozNzQ1NzPWMTcwMzWz0DGzNDQ3MtYBAC8RBD4%3D

Regarding CHINESE DEMOCRACY: I know the album came out a while ago... but I wanted time to really absorb it into my spongy brain before I gave my opinion.


I wanted to put the album in a pot on my stove along with secret herbs and spices and let it simmer for 72 hours to create a rock suace of such tastiness that I could serve it up to you a la carte with course after course of delicious delights.


I wanted to analyse the album scientifically. I wanted to put on a white lab coat and boil it down to it's baser elements in a chemistry lab thereby extracting each of it's primal ingredients.

I wanted to listen to Guns N' Fuckin' Roses entire catalogue one album after another and compare each note for note while watching a visual montage of the band through the ages. I wanted to try to have an unbiased ear. I wanted to put aside what I felt about cornrows (as a hairstyle) and what appears to be some light botox work on Axl's formerly angelic face and just "hear" the music.

I wanted to be right about what I liked and wrong about what I didn't.
I wanted the last 17 years of chaotic world events to be summed up musically.
I wanted Hell to freeze over and the angels to piss their names in the snow.
So I listened and ultimately came to the conclusion that my opinion doesn't mean fuck all.

What do you think?

I prefer cornrows on farms, I also prefer Axl 10 years ago.

If you saw Velvet Revolver live and experienced Scott Weiland perform the old Gunner's hits, you will know as I do that Axl was never needed.

All Axl has is a band name and a band of losers that most likely gave lessons at Guitarworks 6 months ago and are now trying to get their jobs back.
