![Chinese Democracy [CD] [PA]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/9111/9111016_sa.jpg)
Posted by: Lono

I have not heard the final cut of Chinese Democracy. However, I have heard what I would guess is 80% of it. It is good. It would be a great Axl Rose record, but it is a disaster as a Guns' record. I say this because it isn't a guitar record at it's heart. It is a piano record.
No surprise there, that is how Axl writes. However, to me... Guns is the sound and songwriting of Slash and crew. Like many, I find calling the band 'Guns and Roses' totally insulting. He did not start the band, and even the name was partially lifted from Traci Guns pre-G&R.
There is plenty available out there to taste. I would google the single 'Madagascar'. It is a great song, along the lines of 'Civil War'. another great song that you can youtube (it's a live performance) is a song called 'the Blues'. also a great song, and also a piano based melody that spins into powerchords and distortion around the 5 minute mark (think every Styx record).
not worth waiting 17 years for. However, I can't imagine that anything would be. Can't wait until the band gets invited into the R&R hall of fame and all the surviving members are invited. Cat fight, anyone?

What's great about it: Axl can still sing
What's not so great: Axl was never the songwriter
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
