It's finally coming out :crazy:

 

[HevyDevy]

I's okay but can't believe it took him 10 years to do that!

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

itll be a good album.

but not 15 years in the making good

 

[Nuke]

Yeah, my thoughts exactly.

I saw this on Brian May's website (Queen's guitarist who contributed some guitar work to a track in the making of the album ... I don't know if this song made the final cut though).
Here is the album cover and tracklisting:

Chinese Democracy
Scraped
Shackler's Revenge
Street Of Dreams
If The World
Better
This I Love
There Was A Time
Riad N' The Bedovins
Sorry
I.R.S.
Catcher
Madagascar

I don't mind the intro, but after that...
I might pick this one up. It sounds like axl has had some talented guys work on it over the years.

The thing is, from what I've read some time ago (early last year maybe?), over the duration that this album has been in the works, there have been hundreds of ideas for songs, snippets of songs, ect ... most of which have had to have been left on the cutting room floor. Axl has hired lots of writers, different styles of musicians, had 'name' musicians on tracks (Brian May being one), ect. This is apparently due to Axl's fluctuating moods and mindsets.

I'm a tad hesitant about this album, but I'll probably give it a go ... especially if the track Brian May is on is on the album!

especially if the track Brian May is on is on the album!

That would be Catcher (In The Rye)

needs more slash

 

[Stagger eel]

needs more slash

I agree...

it's a killer song though, but f**k dead me 15 years to make, give me a break :roll:

 

[Simo]

15 years and counting.......this album is 'finally being release' every 6 months or so.

 

[hineyrulz]

15 years is a long time to wait, but i am patient being a Parramatta fan and all.................

 

[Ron Jeremy]

tbh i don't like it, is this being released as a single? hope not because it doesn't contain any elements that will make it a buyers choice.

Better has to be the released as a single, from what i've heard thus far Better is the best by far.

15 years is a long time to wait, but i am patient being a Parramatta fan and all.................

ah stop your whinging!

yeah. "Better" is the better song that iv'e heard. i heard it live..it was pretty impressive.

but new GNR ...it's like peachey playing for souths...you want to cheer..but your heart is telling you its just not the same.

ill still buy the album. if it gets released. im not holding my breath

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

*BUMP*

i just purchased the album in question at landspeed records in canberra.

im yet to listen as my pc's sound is buggered. however, the song credits are some of the longest ive ever seen. i reckon 2 years of the delay was writing the credits.

Buckethead is credited and has his picture in the book.

Axl thanks just about everyone hes ever met bar Slash, Duff, Steven Adler and Matt Sorum

Right. fisrt impressions.

My PC has a problem that makes all vocals sound like they are being sung by helium junkies or Alvin and the Chipmunks.

That aside.

its pretty different. possibly as far away from "Nightran" that you could go whilst keeping the same singer.

its interesting to say the least.

Street of Dreams is a pretty good track though

 

[Ron Jeremy]

wow, honestly is it worth the wait? any potential hits?

 

[Cardinal & Myrtle]

Yep, sure is worth the wait.

Just listened to it on their myspace site in full and it is one of those albums you know will be No 1 around the world for a long time. Planning to go out and buy it tomorrow.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

unf**king real!!!!!!!!

More albums=better group

 

[Ron Jeremy]

for people who want to listen to album

IMO so far 'Better' and 'There was a time' are the two with probably most commercial appeal thus far, i love both songs.

It's very different, nothing like other albums, an album i think will take a while for people to take a liking to it, but much like 'crimson idol' by WASP will be appreciated much down the track.

 

[Nuke]

It's out in stores already, is it?

I was heading to a music shop tomorrow anyway, so that now means I will definitely be going!
I'd be interested to see if Brian May is still on the track 'Catcher In The Rye'. He spent some time a few years ago doing that one with Axl, and I gathered from an article I read online a few weeks ago that Brian's parts had been replaced by someone else (whoever the current guitarist is for GnR I guess). Brian commented on his website that he was disappointed if it was indeed true, but understood the decision to have just the band play on this long-awaited album.
