You know what's really funny is how some of you say we can't  judge the CD material based on the wait or compare it to old Gn'R yet those same people use words like "Considering the people in Velvet Revolver they were a massive let down" I mean let's consider who's been in Gn'R and this is what we get? Arguebly a more talented band than the original Gn'R and for them to come up with this stuff after 10+ years of working on it is rather sad.  Does anyone else feel the CD era songs are decent for a few days or so and then you gotta burry them on you playlist for months on end to appreciate them again? I do. I can't listen to these songs consitently over long periods of time. I can't leave a disc of CD songs in my car and listen to it for a work week. The songs have no lasting appeal.  And I gotta get this off my chest. For everyone saying Buckethead owns these songs and that he's basically forced the "haters"(who actually hates BH anyways?) to fuck off with this material, please explain to me exactly what you're  hearing that's  so amazing? And please do so in a non condesending way that suggests if we can't hear it we simply don't know what we're talking about. I hear it but it's not mind blowing or even that great to me. Honestly Slash has better solos and guitar work on VR's albums in my opinion. My favorite CD era solo is the last solo on Better and that's Robin so I'm just not getting the Buckethead rules these songs thing.

James I do think the shit VR came up with is better. It's produced better and musically it rocks harder. It's not pretentious in it's attempt to be meaningful. It's not a cluttered mess. It is what it is. CD isn't aything. That's the problem.  I'm not saying VR's albums were great cause honestly I didn't like them but I've always said their songs  on an individual basis smack you in the face and are stong. As albusm they dont' work.  My opinion on VR has always been interchange Scott for Axl and you've got your kickass Gn'R record.

It's not drama. If it was anyone other than Superstar Owens it'd be a non story. They're looking for drama. T.O. will be just fine.  If it was Romo peope woudl thik it's legit but since it's T.O. people question it. We all know how hard the guy trains, he just sigend a new contract, he loves being on the Cowboys so relaly there's no reaosn for him not to be there unless it was a legit family issue. I dont' see the big deal.  The only drama Dallas is gonna have to deal with is that bimbo Jessica and her fucked up dad. 

ROMO DUMP THAT SKANK!!!!!

Impossibe Germany - Wilco

from Rolling Stone keep in mind. And I only see one of those articles jumping for joy.  Everyone and their dog is gonna want an exclusive interview with Axl and alot of these big magazines won't risk pissing him off.  It's gonna be tough to gage what responses are legit. We're gonna get the ass kissers and we're of course gonna get the people who can't wait to rip into Axl. As far as music journalists go I  think we're gonna be hard pressed to find one who'll write an honest review one way or another. We'll see I guess.

No article but they talked about it on the local radio here today for a good 3-4 minutes. Nothing positive. Alot of jokes about how long it's taking and pretty much trashed the new leaks, the most common thing which seemd to be said over and over again was "we waited that long for this" The one dj called for a reunion immediatley.  Hate to say it but that's  pretty much the reaction this thing is gonna get. That will be the overwhelming consensus especially from the general public I feel.
