Great summary.

2001-2002  I hated it at the time but I absolutely love it now. It was so incredibly out there. Shame it never really got going. The potential was insane. Especially if they'd dropped an album in 2002.  2006-2007  Peak nu-GnR for me. In terms of live show, vocals and general look and feel, this was a step up from 2002. Even if Buckethead was gone.  2009-2010 Vocals were still good, setlists got more exciting, but man... Ashba was so fucking terrible. What a giant fucking tool.  2011-2014 Aside from the occasional good show, it was all downhill here. 

Not necessarily.  Know yourself before correcting another.

I hate the Nu Guns era and glad it’s long gone. It’s not that they’re bad players or anything, they just never sounded like Guns to me. Buckets playing in particular is not for me at all.  I also get people that don’t like Slash on Chinese stuff. I’d prefer him to leave that alone as well and just ditch that album and all material from that era
