G'N'R Chinese Democracy LP

Almost all mystical long gestation albums are a disappointment. Prince's Black Album and the Beach Boy's Smile come to mind. With that said, I like the fact that Axl did this album his way, without the expectation of the call and response vox around Slash's guitar playing. That past sound would have come across as a Tribute Band. It is strangely wierd but it is also strangely composed in the songs that are offered up, with many mid-song mood shifts, almost like a Broadway soundtrack.

Zigonht, I second your statement.

I suppose I'll get slammed for this but, and mind you I don't buy many Rock albums any more, I happen to really dig the Velvet Revolver albums!

I read on the BBC website that there is a Free can of Dr Pepper for every US resident if Guns & Roses bought out an album in 2008. If that is correct, does anyone know to claim it?

Chazro,

The Velvet Revolver project was great. Both albums. Too bad Slash had to pick a lead singer with a drug problem, you would have thought he learned something from his own dealings.
Weiland just released a new solo album...

Gawdbless,

Yes, it is absolutely true. Dr Pepper came out with a statement last week saying they would honor the free product to everyone in the U.s...
