Chinese Democracy is a go
« on: October 22, 2008, 11:28:52 pm »
Apparently, Guns N' Roses is releasing Chinese Democracy on November 23rd, thwarting the smarmy people who thought that Chinese democracy would come before Chinese Democracy.

It is also apparently biting Dr Pepper in the ass, since they promised to give everyone a free can of their delicious soda if it got released this year. They seem to be making good on it, though.

Damn, I was about to start cracking out the Fenjiu and do saki bombs. Then I see that its about some washed up zombies releasing an album my older cousin would have bought in 1989.
Still holding the mojitos for when castro bites it.

I've officially, by the way, spun the anticipation dial on this one.

I am past anticipating it so much that there is no way it will measure up and am right into anticipating it so much that ANYTHING will be awesome, just for being.

I am at about five Mega-Lucases on the Anticipation Scale for Chinese Democracy.

I heard a single from it this morning on the radio.



It would have been a great song.

...if it had been released, say, a year after Use your Illusion.

I dunno, man.

I spent my work day mostly listening to "Kid Charlemagne" on repeat, blaring from my work van and... like...

That's a song of its time in 1976 and I still rocked the fuck out of it.

What's wrong with a song that turns out to be a great song from 1993?

"Pork Soda" came out in 1993. So did "Black Tie White Noise". "Modern Life is Rubbish" for God's sake!

If it turned out at all like "Transmissions from the Satellite Heart" then its awesome.

"Siamese Dream" "Bargainville"... "Alapalooza"...

You have sold me all the more on this record, Choop, sold me with your cold Vulcan logic.

Here is the title track that everyone is saying is pretty ok.  Pretty overrated I think.

It's hard for me to get excited because I only every liked Appetite for Destruction. But I'm still curious.

Has anyone heard the new AC/DC? The one song I've heard from it sounds a lot like AC/DC.

I couldn't see Axl Rose being in high office as any less ridiculous than Palin in the same.

Look, no one channels the rage of being a sharp-but-emotionally-imbalanced teenager sitting in a wheatfield dreaming of Sodom and Gamora better than GNR.

It's not the most complicated or mature emotional push in the world or the most complex drive to express musically but... like... it's a part of my personal profile.

The part of Axl still trapped in rural Indiana writes music for the part of me still trapped in the teenage Adirondacks.

That's the best I can explain it.

See, miles has got a can for throwing out there the way I feel about it. Which is some AC/DC that sounds like AC/DC is more interesting to me than any thing from those other dudes.

Yeah, I pretty much feel the same.  Of course GNR really is just Axl and some dudes.  AC/DC is all original, except for the singer of course, but he's been with the group for nearly 30 years now.

Word. The song, I think it's called Rock n Roll Train, is actually better than decent, probably their best single in a couple decades, all with big plodding drums and thick bass steaks. Reminds me why they are the second best hard rock band ever, and that an Albini engineered album would be interesting.

Well, they did win that Grammy...

I'm guessing he meant Winger though.
