That chat never works for me, is it broken?

TIL was leaked.

Better has the best vocal performance IMO.

Thats classic Axl Rose right there and will be the biggest hit on the album.

Not my favourite song by the way.

I always liked the IRS vocals as well, suprised some people call them weak.

I have a feeling the final verse on IRS will be changed to match the way he sung it live, with much more passion and fire. I read a review somewhere that said the the second half of the song opens up into real heavy rocker. So I'm hoping for another cut n paste job.

In the mid-90s, when Guns N 'Roses is desmilingüiu, the singer Axl Rose inherited the group's name and the aura of being largely responsible for its resounding success, translated into sales of 90 million discs. From there onwards, he nourished the fans with the promise that their next job would be history. It is fourteen years, and now the wait is over. Chinese Democracy, the new disc of Guns N 'Roses, hit the shops on the 25th. "Have you ever imagined someone saying to Michelangelo running with the Sistine Chapel? No hurries a work of art," said businessman Andy Gould to justify the delay (from now, one of the most stupid sentences in the history of rock). The verdict? Chinese Democracy, in fact, ensures a place in history for Axl Rose - but only as a megalomaniac who has spent 15 million dollars, a record, a disc bad, very bad. It would be better to have maintained silence and mystery.

There are a handful of bad stories about Axl Rose, now with 46 years. In the early days of Guns N 'Roses, he knocked out a bottle of wine with a neighbor who dared complain of loud sound. Later he was accused of hitting  fans, girlfriends and rape. One of his songs, One in a Million, boiling prejudice against blacks, immigrants and homosexuals. Axl once said that in childhood he suffered sexual abuse by the father and stepfather. Would hence their anger barely contained, the abuse of drink and drugs and his misanthropy, which led to the desire to isolate itself. Since 1996, when his mother died of cancer, he is rarely seen outside his mansion in Malibu, California. If you are going to do something to release the new album, nobody knows.

In its golden age phase, the Guns N 'Roses guitarist Slash was co-author of hits such as Welcome to the Jungle and Sweet Child O' Mine, the bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Matt Sorum. Axl fought with everyone, and showed them the red card. Then began the saga to find substitutes. Every new player that was on was subjected to a "psychological test" administered by the guru of the singer. It is suggested that one of the musicians of Chinese Democracy is the guitarist Buckethead, who climbs on stage with a bucket of the network of fast-food Kentucky Fried Chicken shot in the head and a mask of Jason, the manic film of the series Friday 13. In all, five producers gave up working on the disc after being subjected to methods of recording Axl insane. As an example, he spent 300 000 dollars to adjust the sound of a single instrument - the bass drum in the battery.

In Chinese Democracy, the hard rock of Guns N 'Roses original bowed rise to a mixture of heavy rock and electronic music. Tracks like Catcher N 'the Rye, a ballad, maybe even touch the radios, but they will be forgotten in much less that fourteen years. Axl says the new album is the first of a trilogy. The rely on their speed, the other two discs may be the soundtrack of the next ice age.
