Do You Care About Chinese Democracy?

November 24, 2008

After a long wait — at least one reviewer has compared it to waiting for a unicorn — Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy officially hit stores over the weekend. Now comes the flurry of reviews, purchases, and people signing up for their free Dr Pepper (hurry — that part only works till 6 p.m. EST today!). All of this leads to my question: Do you care about Chinese Democracy?

I'm semi-interested. I'm not a huge Guns N Roses fan, but I am intrigued.

They lost me after Use Your Illusion and I haven't gone back - but there is NO denying that Appetite for Destruction was absolutely effing BRILLIANT.(Oh and punching Sephanie Seymour in the face sort of dulled my enthusiam for Axl, the wanker.)

I liked them when I was 11. Now I like their old stuff for fun. As for their new work...hmmm...good on them but not for me.

No, it's not the same but there are a few good songs. It's worth one listen.

I want to care but as CG said, without the rest of the band its just not the same.

The Dr. Pepper web site is not working for me. It's slow and I keep getting an error. The timer keeps going down though. I guess I won't be getting my freebie.

There is No Slash, No Stephen, Only Axl and Dizzy. So no its not the same and it wont be till they get back together.

it's sad to say but i couldn't care less about this album - it's just not exciting to me that they are out with something new. i wasn't in that era before and it's not compelling to me now.

The over a decade long wait coupled with the fact that it's not *really* Guns 'n Roses (except for Axl) has made this probably the most overrated/underappreciated album...ever. Had it been released by any other band in less than 2 years, it would be a success. It's really not that bad, it'll never match "Appetite For Destruction", but that was another place and time altogether. I bought it yesterday, the day it went on sale, and I'm not disappointed. But I am skipping the free Dr. Pepper. I'd rather have a Starbucks! ;)
