I've been listening to Guns N Roses since 1987 when I was 14 years old. I love them. Even with the departure of the original band, Axl has prevailed nicely. I like Velvet Revolver too, but a new sound is good. Change is good. I've heard most of the new songs on the NewGNR website and the music is phenomenal. I've seen concert footage and it is freaking awesome. Axl brings perfection to the band and the new band members are fantastic musicians. I check the Best Buy Site everyday so I can order the album to add to my other 5 CD's that have been waiting for like 14 years for Chinese Democracy. Axl was my idol as a teenager. Guns new or old in my opinion is better than the Beatles. If the old band ever united though it would be the biggest thing in the world. Chinese Democracy is going to be the biggest rock album in many years and years to come. Check out GNR live at the RItz in NY in 1988. THat's one of my favorite concerts ever. So is the new GNR rock am 2006. I'm going crazy waiting for this album. I check GNR website everyday, haven't seen anything on there yet.
