CD 2 starts now!  We now believe even more

I wish I could say the same.

The first part of the era (2000-2007) was pretty interesting. Axl sounded good. Looked good. I liked Robin Finck. Especially 2006-2007 Robin Finck when he looked like rock n roll Jesus instead of an alien. There was real hope. Some good leaks. 2008. CD finally comes out. It’s good but really 2-7 years too late. Axl sounded good in 2010. By 2011 the rails began to come off. Axl got a little fat. Started sounding off. DJ Ashba was not a good choice. He’s just so cheesy. Ron is an amazing guitar player but just didn’t seem happy after 2007. By 2014 there was no mystique. It was just kind of a weird hodgepodge group of musicians and an underwhelming Axl. Anyone who thinks any version of nugnr was going to take over the world was not around for the 80s and 90s. This was NEVER going to happen. The original band was just too big. It would have made much more sense for Axl to present this whole era as a solo project. 

I fucking loved that album 

He wasn't even remotely fat at RIR in 2001.
