Well yeah, they HAVE to say that now cause you all wouldn't stop talking about it. If you just let it happen, you wouldn't be having a mini freak out right now.

I feel I actually might die when I see Axl and Slash together again. It really is still too hard to believe.

Agreed. It was solid enough, and its still a song I think Old Guns would do very very well. Don't know why thats everyone's least favorite from the album. Maybe cause its the one that sounds most like actual Guns N Roses lol?

Lol good point. No, no he is not. Forgot Skids need their drummer as well.

Subtle changes like the deep voice in TWAT. Shit like that DID make the album worse IMO. Like, those were elements that weren't necessary at all, but Axl just couldn't let it go. The songs were fine.

@Towelie. No, I really don't, although I won't rule out the possibility that you are right. But Honestly, I wanted an official GOOD sounding version for so long. And even with that when it finally came out I was underwhelmed. I don't think thats cause I heard the other first. I think its cause they changed it for the worse.

listen to the leaks more than the official album. The versions aren't THAT different, but they are different enough that they are better, despite that being hard to properly explain.

Its hard to explain, but to me and many it really did. There is something I can't explain about why IRS isn't as good. I said for years about the leak "this is a hit and a great song if he just put this out officially." 7 years later or whatever he finally did, and it wasn't that different, but it was different enough that it really did lose something. Its not just overdubs, but something changed on those official releases and not for the better. I swear, I really do liste...

Chinese was an excellent album before he ruined it. All the leaks were better. TWAT was genius, Street Of Dreams needed no changes, IRS was a single, Chinese was better in its infancy. The whole album tanked once Axl tried too hard. He ruined songs that just needed to be officially released to be great.

Lol so now all Skid Row and Journey need are their singers back for people to care. Would be cool to see Escape era Journey back.

Just fuckin' with ya . Hence the "lol" cause I thought it might not be clear. I'm aware and actually just heard that album for the first time in years. Great record from them.

Piece Of Mind. Classic record lol

Yeah, but not more time than Oh My God to Chinese. In 2017 if we have nothing we can beat the record for least officially released material in a single period.

Absolutely not. He's ruined the legacy in a way that even Aerosmith hasn't with the stuff Tyler does. Here's the thing: you're gonna remember the good stuff anyway. So Aerosmith has made their share of terrible records, but people will always remember the classic 70s stuff. Just like people will always remember GNR's golden era. You have to fuck up bad to get people to really turn on you. Yeah, Steven has done some weird things that I don't necessarily agree with, but...

Remember their golden days makes me upset I listened to all of A Bigger Bang today.

Not a great album at all. Very bland as has been mentioned. Best songs are Sad Sad Sad, Mixed Emotions, Can't Be Seen and Slipping Away. And on a good day, Rock And A Hard Place and Blinded By Love aren't terrible. Definitely an album where you're struggling to find the good in something that is overall very forgettable though.

I'm not just gonna blindly agree that Monster is awesome, but it is surprisingly good. I think I have more of a soft spot for Sonic Boom, but Cosmonaut is absolutely right that KISS fans say Monster is WAY better. Like, to many, this isn't even a contest. And if any hardcore KISS fan has taken the time to listen to those 2 records, I think you'll see that they are both pretty good. And seriously, I'm the last person that thought I'd be saying that.

KISS' newer albums are pretty good. Its just sad they don't have the original members since that is the sound they are channelling and doing it well. Ace's album is surprisingly really really good, and definitely when I hear those licks I think "Fuck, that would sound great with the KISS song on Sonic Boom or something." I don't dwell on it, but its definitely in my head that with Stanley and Simmons helping there are all in the same mindset, just not working together...

I have that. For my schlong.

Dude, I'm not even out of your bed yet. Relax. What we did wasn't "gay". It was anal.

Haha thats awesome

Thats what I say when I finish

My dad was a faget so we killed him.
