I never thought I'd still be here in 4 years time, but the last two years of being here proved me wrong.

Congratulations dude! Hopefully I might still be knocking about in 4 years time, but who knows?

Alright, here are my thoughts on Chinese Democracy:

Call me cocky, smug or whatever, but I always knew CD was probably gonna be crap, for a number of reasons *braces himself for verbal abuse from GnR fans*

Firstly, the obvious one, it took so long to produce that it was never going to live up to the expectations. Secondly, I always felt GnR were overrated. Apart from Appetite for Destruction which kicked ass, they've never really impressed me or produced music I consider noteworthy, yet they are still paced on a pedestal by many.

Thirdly (and perhaps my most controversial opinion), I believe that GnR are pretty much nothing without Slash. In my view he carried them for years, much more so than Axl (who's a whiny little photographer-attacking concert-stopping bitch), and the minute he left I knew GnR were pretty much redundant. Also, video related.

Death Magnetic is a nice comeback for Metallica. It could have been better, but considering how bad their
previous album was, I won't complain. A Matter of Life and Death is also great. :)

I feel pretty much the same way. DM was by no means "old Metallica" but it was a very good step in the right direction. My biggest complaint was that James' voice was a bit up and down. On the one hand, in songs like My Apocalypse it's almost vintage Hetfield, but in others i.e. Day That Never Comes it's just too soft and gentle. I know people say he blew his voice back in the 90's, but I'm not so sure, I certainly didn;t get that impression when I saw 'em live in Dublin in August ;)

Haha, thanks for the free advertising dude. I edited the song a bit, so clear your cache and check it again :P. It would seem that I only compose theme song for Wi/Ht regulars, and guess why it took me so long to make your theme? I was just waiting for you to become a Regular :P. No, just kidding, I was just lazy as fuck ; ).

Overrated? I agree. Appetite for Destruction is a good album, but personally, I don't think GNR should be one of the most well known rock bands of all time. And Slash, that would be another reason why Chinese Democracy wasn't so good. When I think of Guns N' Roses, I will think of Axl Rose and Slash, but sadly, Slash isn't in the band anymore.

Death Magnetic is a nice comeback for Metallica. It could have been better, but considering how bad their

I feel pretty much the same way. DM was by no means "old Metallica" but it was a very good step in the right direction. My biggest complaint was that James' voice was a bit up and down.

My other complaint about the album was the sound production. I felt it could have a tad quieter than it is.

Oh Snap. I got Black Ice and I'm getting copies of Death Magnetic and Iron Maiden's A Matter of Life and Death.

Death Magnetic is a nice comeback for Metallica. It could have been better, but considering how bad their previous album was, I won't complain. A Matter of Life and Death is also great. :)

Ah, a matter of taste, when these three are excellent albums that we can only heap praise upon.

I'm sticking up for a few sensibilities here - Guns 'n' Roses are not some metal band. They are a rock band that's never really been metal.

What!? Wow, I thought you were gonna talk about some kind of idea people had of trying to get China to be a democracy! (they're communists/free enterprise) but NO.

How could you not have heard about Chinese Democracy? It's an album that W. Axl Rose has been allegedly writing for 14 years. His problem is that he lets his political views get in the way of the music, hence why the only members of GnR that I ever cared about left the band and formed Velvet Revolver.

Hopefully now, this pitiful shadow of the greatness that was Guns 'n' Roses can finally sink without trace.

Welcome to the Jungle. When I first heard it in GTA San Andreas I didn't know it was one of their songs, but I found out later because I have a friend who is a fan of GnR and he was like "OMG GUNZ N ROSES OMG"

Yeah Death Magnetic sounds great, and yes, it could have been better especially about the vocals. James' voice is getting a bit weak, that's sad.

That implies that James' voice has been strong at some point in the past. But this is not true. XD

Though I like St. Anger, the drum snare may be horrible, the rest of the album was great. The guitar sound was unique and they used a different riffing, I found it very interesting :P.

Wow, finally another person that listened to St. Anger more than once!
I think the songs are great, they are very agressive and very powerful. But the sound is awful.

This song COULD'VE been good, if it wasn't for oral sex/Axl Rose ruining this song completly with his so called "singing".

Seriously, GnR is THE most overrated band in the world. The only good one ever was Slash. And he wasted his talent on some dickhead like Axl. Also, he looks very silly with Top Hats.
