You know you all love to hate Axl, but truth be told, you'll jam to G'N'R in your car, at the bar, in your iPod or at work, so why not just buy the album that has taken years to make? Yes, he's a "not nice" person, but the music is all we really care about. When I saw them 2 years ago and they performed "Madagascar," it was evident that G'N'R's spirit lives on and lyrically and musically, it's still as good as it ever was. Yes, Slash and the boys aren't there, but music history is loaded with frontmen who become separated from their guitarists and yet they survive. Give it a try, it won't hurt.
What's great about it: Already been leaked for years, so you know the songs well by now
What's not so great: Even this version of G'N'R has switched band members multiple times
