New Guns'n'Roses album on MySpace!

Having trouble playing some tracks, but love what I've heard! Hope they tour again, can't remember the last time I saw them!

 

But is it "them"? I don't view them as being GnR anymore, the elements that made them what they were (before ginge became a total control freak) are missing now, the magic has gone - it's all too Axl, too clinical, too controlled, souless music without any real substance.

 

Don't get me wrong Axl is a great song writer but he's not GnR even if he owns the name, he's just one element of it and that's not enough. It was a shrewd move to keep the name because that alone will sell the music but I can't help thinking an Axl solo project or his own version of Velvet Revolver would miss a lot of the following he still gets.

 

Yes a good musician can play the old stuff, it doesn't have to be the original members but that's like going to a travel agents instead of going on the actual holiday.

 

 

PS: Congratulations on making a number of posts without using the "s" word.

Is it the entire album on Myspace or just samples of a few songs? I haven't got a Myspace account, and I won't get one now unless the content GNR have uploaded is amazing.

 

The number of tracks available keeps changing, but it's had over 300,000 hits since it streamed this morning so that could be why.

 

Sure someone with the know-how will record it off MySpace and make it available somewhere else!

 

It's out on Monday anyway... I'm buying it!

I've heard it too and, well, for nearly two decades of work, it's very, VERY, dissapointing.

 

To be fair, after that amount of time, anything he released would be thought lacking if it wasn't the best record EVAR.

 

...for once.... I'm going to agree with you ;)...

 

I do like the album, but it can never top the old stuff...
