after many years can axl still do it?
the long awaited chinese democracy is coming out on november 28th

can he do as well as velvert revolver did and make guns n roses legendary again?


and velvert revlover? are they as good as the old guns and roses?

It's unfair to compare Velvet Revolver to Guns N' Roses. Velvet Revolver sounds like Stone Temple Pilots with Slash on guitar.

Velvet Revolver is damn good, but GNR are legendary. I have my doubts about Chinese Democracy. If it actually does come out, (this album has been supposed to come out since 1999), I have a feeling it won't meet with the commercial success Axl is hoping for. I envision a botched tour, and many more years of reclusion. Aren't I cheery?

Hm... Velvet Revolver is heading a different direction than G&R was... so it is kind of an unfair comparison. I love G&R... but I hate Axl. I mean... I'm from Lafayette, IN, Axls hometown and I STILL don't like him. So I could care less how the album is. It won't be anything like the old G&R. I also think it will sell more records than VR's album... but people will buy it out of hype and curiosity not becuase it's good. VR will be a better band in the end...

I saw the Behind the Music, pretty badass.

I love Guns n Roses but I know nothing Axl can pull out of his ass will ever match up to the old GNR. Axls just holding on to the name because of the glory it held. The name is legendary, but I know his album will bomb.

As for Velvet Revolver, they have hardly any similarities to GNR. I really do not like VR, but like I said I love Guns n Roses.I really dont think Velvet Revolver will be remembered 20, 30 years from now. All I know is that nothing can ever blow up as big as GNR did.

Ugh it pains me when I think "what if Axl wasnt an ass?" What would have happened? Would they still be around making crappier music by the year? Or would they have ultimatley destroyed themselves anyways, through means of alcohol or some form of drug addiction......

Did anyone catch the MTV music award, oh 3 or so years ago? That was the one where GNR came out as a surprise act at the end of the show. Buckethead was playing!!!

Axl's voice was totally shot. I have a feeling too many years of cigarette smoking and whiskey-drinking has irrevocably blown out his signature voice. A damn shame...

For them to be called Gn'R is just wrong. The old Gun are dead.

the only way they will be Gn'r is for them to all get back to gether..

axle on vocals.. and slash on lead.. like the old day..

I love Buckethead, he's a freak on the guitar. His albums kinda leave something to be desired, because most of the tracks are just Les Claypool being goofy while buckethead plays some stuff in the background. But on the actual song tracks, it's pure gold.

I'll go ahead and chime in that I'm a Buckethead fan.

I heard that Buckethead quit GNR. How are they going to release an album or go on tour without him? As far as I know that haven't replaced him yet.

GNR has been saying that the album was coming out in a couple of months for something like five years now. I'm wondering if that Nov 28 release date is for real. Maybe they mean Nov 28 2006 or 7.

I can't wait to hear it if it actually comes out before Axl becomes a senior citizen.

Slash rules, axl is a pompus Ahole. GnR will never be GnR no matter how good the band does or does not. A band can loose 1 band mate and pull it off, but 4 at once ....nope.

Buckethead plays a lot more with Bootsie than he does with Les.


And on that note, I think I'm going to put Somewhere Over the Slaughterhouse on and enjoy the weirdness.

I guess Ozzy even has his limits. Don't get me wrong, Bukethead is a phenomanal guitar player, but he wears a mask with a KFC bucket on his friggin head. Satan himself would probably say, "That guy's f***ed up!"
