Who is this? GNR is a stupid name for an album, but then Chinese Democracy is quite lame as a band name too. One album wonders I bet.

This album for the record, is absolute rat piss. Played once, will never play again.

Heartbreakingly bad.

Of course it's bad. GNR only have one good album.

You're a complete dil.

Guns n' Roses put out two brilliant albums (Appetite For Destruction and Use Your Illusion II) and one good album (Use Your Illusion I). Had they amalgamated Use Your Illusion I and II, it'd have been pretty much the best album ever. They really are way better than most people think it's acceptable for them to think. Just because they're well know it doesn't mean they weren't brilliant.

I've got to say, though, the thing that annoys me most about people who slag Guns n' Roses is:

'It's not Guns n' Roses without Slash.'

Slash is a fairly iconic guitarist, although technically overrated. Axl, however, is one in a million as far as frontmen go. I really can't think of many other frontmen who could get away with so much shit, put off an album for 14 years and still have people wondering what it'll be like.

I class Illusion 1 as a definitive classic as well, I mean Coma is practically the greatest song of all time, its an unknown classic.
