Chinese Politics- a load of old tosh?

[TheDecameron]

So, 15 years in the making, Mr Rose the only member still left ( I wonder why...) sounding like it's stuck in a time warp. Is this CD just a coaster for a cup of cold Nescafe or does anyone actually rate it?

ah you mean Chinese Democracy. Lost me for a moment there. Not a fan of the band i'm afraid.....

That's it Chinese whatsits.

The cost $15M- that could have bailed out GM! What is that turkey doing? Blowing it up his nose?
$15M worth of gold plated turgid narcisism!

Ah, the wheel turns full circle- remember "Get in the Ring?"

"You be rippin' off the ****in' kids
While they be payin' their hard earned
money......"

In this case it must be rippin off the record lable....

As a standalone album it's not bad, but as one thats had a gestation period of 15 years it's very poor.

15 years ago Axel may have had the vocal range to carry it off, but sadly not now. GnR were so much more than just Axel and it shows. There's nothing on the album that is outstanding, it's just all of a particular level.

Sounds better in the car than on the hi-fi, probably says it all really

So that explains it, much of that $15M went to the marketing boys. The record company must have been in so deep they had to throw even more cash at the marketeers to disguise the turd in the punch bowl.
