I think we're gonna see a lot of these types of reviews until Axl finally releases the album. Get used to it.

Correctamundo.

Due to the rather narrow defition scale around here, I am an "axlite".

But not one blind enough not to be albe to see Axl has brought this on himself.
Keep in mind that with new tour dates announced, the usual gang of idiots will ratchet up their unhappiness and overall negativity.

Its just what they do to cope when they fear there might be even a hint of good news for any line-up post 1993.

i thought it was a pretty fair review a little against axl at times but it's still showing axl is slowly winning people over. now people are recognising as a great frontman and that guns n roses wasn't all slash.

People as in the few who attend the shows are. But the band in general hasn't made any impact at all.

The album HAS to come out for anything positive to happen.

All Axl is doing now is playing for time.
Many thanks to MSL, Incognito, Darknemus and L!ve Free! And any other cool people who like to share...

well who would axl care about more? the people willing to buy tickets to support the band or mr. joe lets download the album, listen once and slander until kerrang gives it a gd review and change my mind.

That's the thing -- guitarists Robin Finck, Ron Thai and Richard Fortis are all very good players (though we could've done without three guitar soloists taking up so much of a 21/2-hour set). All three try damn hard, running about, striking the right rock poses, sneering ... all the standard stuff from Rockstar 101. But that in itself was strange, as GNR never had to try so hard. The new guys are doing their best, but when it comes down to it, they painfully lack by comparison. It takes three guys bashing about to equal the absolute coolness of Slash and Izzy, who never had to resort to punching strings and doing windmills to make a point.



Best part in the article....he's exactly right in this part.


great article overall

Yeah that's what I mean, you think those points are correct so you don't go to the gigs and support the bands. I don't understand why people say they agree with stuff like that - but spend time and money going anyway.

this article is bullshit.

it'd be like moreblack going to the show. the bias is already there. this was written from the POV of someone who can't get over the old band. his opinion shouldn't even be regarded, this thread should be locked, or even deleted. no need to give this garbage the time of day. This dude knew damn well it wasn't the original lineup, so why even go there? fuckin moron.
GNR at the Joint! 2006 is the most solid Guns N Roses lineup Ever!! Thank you Robin, for signing my ticket!

Maybe old fans need to get over the fact that it's a new century for GNR.

This topic is so played out and asinine it's ridiculous.

old fans need to get with the times (the old fans who haven't, i'm an old fan who has), or create a board only for the old band so you can remenise of times past and sit around wishing $lashole never left.
