I remember how they said the 06 leaks were better than Velvet Revolver. Thats not praise. It was just stating the obvious.

For the 300000000th time, Gnr has always been supported by Rolling Stone.....the majority of stuff written over the last 20 years has been very positive. Of course, they have a few negative moments but you can't always be on the take!:haha:

Thanks Lofton!
It is odd that they don't review any of the other leaks and VERY odd they find Riyadh to be similar to You Could Be Mine. Is it just me?  I don't see it.

Not you at all. It's a highly retarded comparison. The songs are nothing alike at all. Maybe he didn't even hear it and just guessed.

In the back of the magazine, towards the end of the reviews section, is the "Downloads" page, where every month, any form of downloadable music is reviewed.  Not only are the "Must Have" downlaod(s) of the month the Chinese Democracy links, but - even better - they are reviewed by David Fricke:

"Three big, dark, snarling new songs from the longest-awaited album ever."

"'Chinese Democracy is nearly here - based on these nine tracks, reportedly in final mastered form - and its deeply weird, in epic-reach and fuck-your-expectation ways that make me want to hear the whole thing pronto, in something better than this pinched-digital fidelity.  Of the new songs, "Rhiad and the Bedouins" is the closest to the snarling-guitar rumpus of Appetite for Destruction.  "If the World" and a third, untitled number are - like the previously leaked "There Was a Time" - midtempo, big production orgies, the former with a dusky Seventies-R&B flair, the latter cresting in an hammering chorus with singer Axl Rose at the peak of his shriek.  The effect is bleak and brawling, like Elton John's Madman Across the Water reset in a ravaged hard-rock Hollywood."    - David Fricke

DCK, the only thing I hear in Riyadh that is close to YCBM is the drumming and the dualing rhythm guitars....especially right at the beginning...first 30 seconds....it is kinda similar.:P

To add on to what madagas said above, which I agree with, Axl seems to have a "YCBM"-like voice on this song.

Agreed.  I love to read what the press has to say about the leaks, but I have no idea who any of these people are doing the reviews.   I'm glad someone like Fricke weighed in.
