They played a long-ass acoustic set at my friend's bday party. It did rock. And I got to see Tommy Hilfigger thrown out on his ass. Yeah...that was a good night.

Theyve been leaking Chinese Democracy for like 5 years now....honestly at this point....who cares??
Spaghetti Incident was a bargain bin filler almost upon release and I doubt highly that the new stuff,if it ever does in fact come out will be in the Kmart 3.99 bin too....
The first 4 albums were classic but too much ego,drugs and money doomed the classic GnR lineup...all you have now are dudes so desperate for a paycheck they are willing to put up with William's antics....

Spaghetti Incident was covers of old punk songs.. you can't compare that to original material.

thats my point...a CD of mostly obscure tracks was their last release.
Gone:Steve Adler,Duff,Slash,Izzy and Matt Sorum...
Gone: 14 years...FOURTEEN YEARS...I mean if they were a viable band they couldve put out minimum of 7 albums or more in that time....to me its quite obvious that they are done.
Id love to be proven wrong and would gladly eat humble pie in exchange for a kick ass album,but most likely they will be like the Stones,a band way past their prime hanging around playing their classics for that dope money....but at least the stones still have their original members for the most part.
Understand that im from LA and Steven and I used to hang out alot,Axl prior to fame was a very cool,honest and sensitive person and its sad to see what couldve been one of the greatest bands ever end up as they have,where a dude who wears a KFC bucket on his head couldnt even put up w/ the BS....
Prediction in 10 years GnR will be opening for Quiet Riot at LA bar-mitzvahs

I've asked people here in Portland, a town known for its music, who's the must-see guitarist around. "Uh...can't think of any." Death Cab, the Decemberists and the Shins are kings of the hill here. From what I can tell, the best guitarist and songwriter I've heard from here is dead - Elliot Smith.
To me, rock from Joni Mitchell to Zepplin set the stage for a popular culture that made kids into better people. You sat around with the album covers and read lyrics that made you think. Twenty years later, the art form got tired and cheesy, a mere soundtrack for raising hell and getting laid. I was too young to experience the sixties and seventies as many did...and for that I'm sorry. But music is pretty good right now if you dig deeply enough. I opened for a guy named Eric Bachman a few weeks ago. He fronted Archers of Loaf. His stuff had me rooted to the floor.
