Another gift from the best band in Rock 'N' Roll
on November 11, 2008
Posted by: bellisima

Axl Rose is a Genius and will be remembered forever as one of history's most brilliant, talented artists.
Guns N' Roses is one of the best bands in history and "Use Your Illusion I" is one of history's best albums. This and "Use Your Illusion II" showed the band's further exploration into music as an art form.
Rather than simply repeat/remake "Appetite for Destruction," which would have been the easy/expected route to take, Guns N' Roses showed their range and talent as musicians.
Axl Rose is a brilliant lyricist and a true poet. His masterpieces "November Rain" and "Estranged" are fit to be in the same category as classical music from Mozart, Bach and the modern Elton John.
Axl's and Izzy's collaborations on some of their older songs such as "Don't Cry" show their velvet smooth musical partnership.
Axl and Slash's chemistry is something rarely seen. When the two come together they are explosive.
Axl Rose redefined the "rock 'n' roll frontman" with his genius, eloquence, talent, charisma and grace.
Guns N' Roses redefined the rock 'n' roll band with their raw, no-holds-barred attitude -- which was never, ever manufactured (as so many other musicians were/are "created" and "molded" by publicists and their record companies). With Guns N' Roses it was/is always what you see is what you get -- no pretense.
Thank you to Axl and Guns N' Roses for giving all fans, including/especially us young fans for the opportunity to share in the excitement of Guns N' Roses.
Between this special release, the limited edition release and the new "Chinese Democracy" release -- this is a dream come true for any Guns N' Roses fan (and any true fan of music).
BUY THIS ALBUM!!! You will not be disappointed!!!
Thank you, Axl and GN'R!!! Rock on!!! Love from your fans, forever!!!

"Appetite for Destruction" changed rock 'n' roll forever and now more than twenty years after its release is still a huge seller.
This album and the band that created it continues to break records and both the band and album are still mentioned constantly in literature, news, top music album lists/top rock album lists in history.

"Appetite for Destruction" changed rock 'n' roll forever and now more than twenty years after its release is still a huge seller and mentioned constantly in top music album lists/top rock album lists in history -- right along with the band that created it.

Axl Rose is a genius and anyone who takes the time to write a negative review even before the CD or Vinyl version is not fair. You have a great opportunity to buy an exclusive CD or Vinyl copy from Best Buy. Maybe even buy both like many fans are doing.
Buy the music and support the band and give the music a chance before you give it a negative review. That is the fair thing to do.
If one is a music lover then one appreciates all music. Great music is great music! Great art is great art!
This brilliant piece of art is not about comparing and contrasting Old Guns N' Roses vs. New Guns N' Roses.
It's also not about the length of time it takes to produce great art -- so what if "Chinese Democracy" took years to complete -- it is art and there is no time limit on art. "The Last Judgment" is a mural by another great artist, Michelangelo, on the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel. It took eight years to complete. It was created from 1534 to 1541. To this day in history it is appreciated as one of history's most amazing, brilliant works of art, which I believe "Chinese Democracy" will also be.
Artists work to create their art and if they chose to share it with the world -- that is their choice. Axl Rose is another artistic genius that creates what is in his heart and soul and we are fortunate that he choses to share it with the world and history.
Be appreciative that you are alive to witness one of the most brilliant minds (Axl) and bands (GN'R) in history. Many of us young fans weren't around to witness The Beatles or Led Zeppelin. Now we are fortunate enough to live in a time where we get to see Guns N' Roses -- and a band like GN'R (both the new and old versions) does not just come around every day/every year.
This is a once in a lifetime experience. So buy the music!! :)
Rock on Axl! GN'R!!! We LOVE YOU, Your REAL FANS!!! And there are so, so, so, so many of us.
What's great about it: Axl Rose is a Genius and will be remembered as one of history's most brilliant, talented artists
What's not so great: Not One Single Thing.

Axl Rose is a genius and anyone who takes the time to write a negative review even before the CD comes out shows that you are not a true fan and never will be.
If one is a music lover then one appreciates all music. Good music is good music!
Be appreciative that you are alive to witness one of the most brilliant minds and band in history.
And if you cannot appreciate this then the following quotes will explain why: (and P.S. Rock on Axl! GNR!!! We LOVE YOU, The REAL FANS!!!)
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence." -- Albert Einstein
"Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself, but talent instantly recognizes genius." -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
