I’ve seen Guns & Roses live, about four months ago; they were pretty bad. I mean, Axl was pretty OK, even though it took him five minutes to take off his gold rings to play the piano, but the rest of the band… it’s not that they played poorly or anything, it just wasn’t G&R good. As if that wasn’t enough, when they played stuff from Chinese Democracy, that was just enough. Plainly put, the…
This came up as really strange, when I first read about it in The Sun. Apparently Axl Rose is nowhere to be found for the last two months, fact that apparently aggravates the hell out of Guns ‘n’ Roses’ label, Geffen. It seems Geffen is really disappointed in Axl Rose, since the band just recently released its 15 years in the making album, “Chinese Democracy,” and the Guns haven’t done anything to promote it. No…
Oh baby this was bound to happen. What am I talking about?? Yeah, a newspaper run by the Chinese communist rulling party is slamming and thrashing the oh so much expected Guns’N’Roses new album, Chinese Democracy. They claim it’s an attack on their nation, and there’s a really big chance that it’s going to be illegal in that country, though I have to say it’s hard for me to understand how an objective listener could…
I knew Axl and his lot were outrageous from the start, but this latest stunt is really weird, not to say stupid – the type of thing Prince would be proud of. Ok, remember the Dr. Pepper ad that stated if Chinese Democracy would finally get released in 2008, then the company would give out a can of Dr. Pepper to every American citizen (apart from Slash and Buckethead, of course)? Well, this week, on…
It’s already a bit redundant annoying exasperating to hear about the release of Chinese Democracy. Axl’s cold hands have been clinging on to it for more than enough, and it’s still not certain what’s the current state of the album, but something really interesting happened recently. “Talking Metal” posted its latest podcast which you can download here, in which they continue the countdown of what is was by far the world’s most anticipated album. It’s…
In case you haven’t already found out about how Slash got snubbed by Dr. Pepper as part of the drink manufacturer’s recent “Chinese Democracy” promotion, I’m gonna give you a little heads up just so you know what I’m talking about. Dr. Pepper has vowed to give everyone in the U.S. a free can of the drink if Guns N’ Roses’ long-awaited new album, “Chinese Democracy”, is released this year. Everyone, that is, apart from…
Oh boy, here we go again. I must have heard this 10 times at least, every time from a reliable source or something… This album is getting more and more like UFOs and the moon landing in 1969 – every time you hear about it it sounds less and less true. Especially since their guitarist left to rejoin NIN (no, not Slash…), and the rumors that this album is actually going to be bluegrass ….
Well mates, concerning this record I’ve heard pretty much anything that could be imagined, and even more. It seems to be just an illusion, closing in on you and making promises only to dissapear again in the shadow of Axl’s dark robe. His children, led by Buckethead, seem ready to continue the music, but the dark man himself is not ready. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Those answers don’t make sense anymore….
First of all we hope you had a very good year and enjoyed Christmas (in case you are Christian) and may you have a happy new year. Kudos to those who still find the time to read us in these days; you made our year good. For us it was a very busy yet rewarding year with lots of good music to choose from. We tried to give props to those who deserved it and…
