    Waiting for the army to return was worth the wait, I'm not so sure about AxHole's SOLO disc. I hear most of it and thought it was interesting but it's not a Gun's disc. His voice sounds like shit on most of it. The Spaghetti Incident smokes this shit even for a bunch of covers . I love the fact that it will be in the $ 6.99 bin in a year !!! It was like listening to Van Halen without Dave. VERY FORGETABLE !! Sorry Axl .

        The album was not worth the wait or the amount of money they sunk to produce the album. It is mediocre at best.

            Nothing could be worth that wait, but 'Chinese Democracy' is a grower.

            No, it's not GNR and, yes, there are one or two many ballads on here, but there are some great moments on here: 'Better' is a great song and 'If The World' is something that I realize myself in, and 'Madagascar' is epic.

            The problem though is that - for all the song craft - there is no DANGER, no swagger. As Badguy point out, where are the riffs? I keep hearing how amazing Bumbledick and Robin Fink are, but Slash has never been found wanting in the riff department.

                Wow, I'm in the minority on this?

                I auctually really enjoyed it..Sounds like some weird overproduced Use Your Illusion. Which is what you have to go into listening to it..You can't go in thinking you're going to hear a "Night train" or "Mr. Brownstone", You're going to hear modern versions of stuff like "November Rain", etc.

                Madagascar, Better, I.R.S., and The Title Track are all pretty good IMO.

                That said, Axl now that this is done, its time to reunite with Slash, Izzy, Duff, and Matt Sorum.

                  ChiDem grows on me with each listen.

                  "Scraped" & "Riad N' The Bedouins" both contain some nice riffage, although somewhat buried in a rather busy mix. "Street Of Dreams" has a great Queen-esque power rock vibe going on. "Better" and "I.R.S." are also great tracks.

                  Haterz b damned! This record sounds way better than Death Magnetic.

                    I'd rather hear GnR greatest hits album, which is called "Appetite for Destruction."

                      Fair enough.

                      Appetite is still a very enjoyable record.

                        No, I'm with you. I enjoyed it. I don't think it's a great, or even consistently good album, but there a moments of real class and a handful of great songs. 'Sorry' is a real grower....

                          The album is like a long police chase that leaves a trail of broken bottles, empty ammo cartridges and spilled gasoline.

                            I gotta admit that I like it.

                            It`s the first album where I heard some of the songs seven years before it came out.

                            Maybe if I hadn`t, I wouldn`t have been prepared for what I heard.

                            Anyone who was expecting "Appetite..." part two would have been kidding themselves.

                            I like the fact they kept Buckethead`s leads as his playing is awesome.

                            On the other hand I think they over egged the pudding on a lot of the tracks.

                            How the hell can you have five guitarists on a song?

                            I love the self importance of "Madagascar".

                            Whether it really is GnR or not, it is what it is.

                            It might not be great but I think it`s very good.

                              Wouldn`t it be fucked up if they did a new album next year?
