Devils Child, Nostradamus is better than Chinese Democracy. But, I have to openly say that a real Guns N' Roses album (and not a bunch of guys playing under the name Gn'R, pretending to be Gn'R) would outdo any 'Priest effort. We saw it pretty clearly in 1991. However I must personally say that if it was 1991 and Operation Rock N' Roll tour and I got a choice between seeing Judas Priest or Guns N' Roses...the choice would be fucking tough. Anyways man, take into account that Chinese Democracy isn't Guns N' Roses so anything on that doesn't represent Gn'R at all.

I really owe Priest an apology. I was quite vocal about waiting so long for their last CD. They took on one hell of a task and finished it more than 10 years faster than Axl ! It wasn't exactly my favorite Priest record, but it was better than Chinese Democracy and it didn't take a freakin' generation to finish. |

I cracked up when i spotted this thread ........
By no means am i an expert on the whole GnR thingo, i just think axl is way to fucked up.
I wouldnt go outta my way to grab a listen of the new album, but if it came my way i would give it a spin, just to say i gave it a whirl......

To be honest man, I actually bought the album(hear comes the garbage slinging from every hater on the site) I actually really like the album. It shouldnt be called a GNR album because the only thing that even slightly sounds like the original GNR is Axl's dieing vocals, and repetative ryhming and goofy lyrics. Music wise i think its a kick ass album, thanks to buckethead. Some how i think Axl probably got down on his knees and begged him to stay in the band. I wouldnt have bought it if he wasnt the main guitar player on it. Comparing it to Nostradamus is a joke though, no matter what anyone says Nostradamus is Metal, it may be slightly altered Metal through different songs, but still dominatly Heavy Metal. Chinese Democracy is some extremly mutated rock album.

| 14 ) Prostitute : Crap. Sound like a friggin' car commercial. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:50:31 AM | |
|
| Now some more cool guitar work. It's almost as if Axl is just creating sonic vehicles for guitarists. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:48:46 AM | |
|
| 13 ) This I Love : So far . . . This I Hate ! Sounds like vocal scale training 101. Ok, maybe 102. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:46:31 AM | |
|
| Another aside comment . . . I'm really getting slapped in the face here. Now I am hearing exactly why my bands could not get past that final hurdle for a deal. We used to do the same shit that's being done here. Over thought, self indulgent, forgoing the passion for "musicianship and artistry". In the end, it just lays flat. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:42:33 AM | |

| 12 ) Madagascar : Boring, generic and overdone. Self indulgent bullshit. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:38:56 AM | |
|
11 ) I.R.S. : Ingredients are there, but again it's just too flat. Where's the fire ? ! ! !

| 10 ) Sorry : Good tune, nice guitar playing and sound. Almost like an emotional and slow Satriani. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:30:08 AM | |
|
| 9 ) Riad N' the Bedouins : Again, way too little for the amount of time spent. I've watched guys come up with a groovy little tune like this in an afternoon and it had a lot more balls than this over produced song. Again with the tapping, staccato solo crap. Gimmicks piss me off. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:26:36 AM | |
|
| Aside comment . . . It's obvious Axl has his shit together and is really trying to make something here. He just got too wrapped up in it and nobody had the balls to stop him before he fucked it up with too much thought. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:24:06 AM | |
|
| 8) Scraped : Good groove, too polished. Would be sooooooo much better in a much more raw form. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:19:55 AM | |
|
| 7) Catcher in the Rye : Generic. Tight for what it is. Expected a hell of alot more given the amount of time. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:16:24 AM | |
|
All that crap said, the end of this tune rocks into a jam that kicks some ass !  Why . . . I don't know, but it's cool. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:14:53 AM | |
|
| 6) There Was a Time : Odd tune. All over the map sonically and arrangement. Can't wrap my head around it yet. Separately the pieces are good, but together it's hard to make sense of it. It comes together at the end, but since the first part was so sporadic, it's difficult to understand how the song got here and why. |
|
| [TIMBONI] Sunday, December 14, 2008 12:08:35 AM | |
|
| 5) If the World : Whoa ! Left turn ! 70's funky with synths and fat bass line. Here comes the guitar. If you can handle a funky Axl, you'll dig this. I like it, very cool. I picture driving through downtown ( fill in the blank ) at 2 am in a 'de Ville. |

|

Just started it again.
1) Chinese Democracy : Good tune. Nothin' new, but good tune.

Axl's voice is sounded really shot on the single, and both my roommate and I were just completely unimpressed with it. Whereas, most of the rockers who previously suffered from LSD (Lead Singer Disease) grew up, Axl has not and is still a complete ass.
