Bigsby Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 You sound like you're surprised. Axl Rose is a prize fucking bellend, how else would it turn out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatboy Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 what about the song with brian may? or did he sack him too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medichi Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Axl was a bellend and still produced Appetite and Use Your Illusion. On this, his voice is shot (I reckon you can actually hear it getting worse, depending on how old the track is), there are NO good tunes, a complete lack of attitude, and just general crapness.

reido21 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 i have to disagree, yeah its not as good as appetite or illusion but its still a decent album.in the same thread as death magnetic is no where near master of puppets, but still a pretty decent album !

Bigsby Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Axl was a bellend and still produced Appetite and Use Your Illusion. I suppose it depends on what your definition of "produced" is. But if you read Slash's autobiography you will get an idea of just how much of a fucking bellend Axl Rose is. And I have met Slash, and found him to be a perfect gent, so I believe his account of how things went down. But I was never a GnR fan, mainly because Axl Rose's voice is so fucking annoying.

Chinese Democracy is terrible - there are NO GOOD SONGS, Axls voice is clearly shot to fuck. Worst album I have ever listened all the way through to, with hope in my heart that it would get good...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 That band died when Izzy left, all thats left is some bizzarre project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 That band died when Izzy left, all thats left is some bizzarre project.Bingo! Izzy is criminally overlooked by Guns n' Roses fans. This album is pretty much Axl Rose and The Rosettes, to call it Guns n' Roses is criminal.

Foreskin Ninja Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Well God damn, it's a good album. I expected it to be total shit, considering how long it's been in the making and how many fingers have been in the pie, but I'm sold.

-matthEw- Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 It really is garbage. Axl's already annoying voice is pro-tooled to absolute fuck that it really doesn't sound human in the slightest, and I mean that in the worst possible way.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 you've clearly never listened to any new music where they all sound like slaughtered animals ?what sort of 'new music' would this be then? I would have thought that a slaughtered animal made no noise at all, did you plug your speakers in before pressing play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 PS the reason that it sucks, amongst from all the obvious reasons, is that Axl Rose secretly sacked himself from the band after realising that he was a massive cunt and was replaced by Rufus from Bumfights. The differences in their appearances are subtle but apparent.This is Axl walking through the streets of LAAnd here we have a recent snap of Rufus rockin' the mainstage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alkaline Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 It's not the worst thing i've ever heard, but it really isn't good.The production is almost like the "anti-Death Magnetic". The guitars are way too quiet and fizzy and the vocals are oddly compressed. I'm not entirely sure why it seems to lapse from sounding like Alice In Chains B-sides to NIN B-sides either. Axl's voice really is knackered as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 aye ok, you got me there, stuff like: bring me the horizon, shitty "grindcore" or "screamcore" bandsWell I've never heard of 'screamcore' but I see what you're getting at. For the record though, grindcore has been around since the 80s, it just didn't used to be performed by androgynous teenagers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted November 25, 2008 Report Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm not entirely sure why it seems to lapse from sounding like Alice In Chains B-sides to NIN B-sides either. I've yet to hear the album but my theory is that, because it's taken so long to make, it's basically a compilation album made by different bands, in effect. Also, it'll have been influenced by what was popular / critically acclaimed at the time. therefore it ends up lacking coherence & common themes & sounds completely devoid of context or a time & place. If Axl had any balls he have simply dropped this folly years ago, went into the studio with a tight band & knocked out something in a week or two & left Chinese Democracy to be a talked about but never heard internet legend.
