this album sucks. There are 14 songs on it, i've listened to the first 8 on myspace and not one of these songs sounds like a viable single. maybe the last 6 will be better...

10 years to make this? really?

Blue is gonna have a shit attack when he reads this

I like it a lot, but to each his own.


The whole album is streamed online here:

I love the title track, irs, and have always loved madagascar, got a very estranged feel to it.

like any other album, theres gonna be some good songs, some bad ones, and some that will grow on you. anyone who expected anything close to appetite was on drugs.

I didnt expect appetite which will go down as one of the best rock albums of all time. i didn't even expect THAT much, honestly. I just expected a few tunes I would hear on the radio, and to be honest, while none of hte songs sound bad, none were very catchy. Except IRS, in my opinion, but even that wasnt so great. Almost every GNR album has a few tunes that just flow so well, nothing on this album seemed to do that.

ANd it sounds more like an album suited for chris cornell than axl, this is a new kind of singing for him.

According to one well placed music industry Deep Throat, there is a very good chance you?ll see GNR onstage at the American Music Awards this Sunday on ABC


?Axl wants to be the conquering hero,? says the source who has worked closely with some of the biggest acts in the world including Guns?N?Roses. ?The timing of the show on the night he brings out his masterpiece is too good for him to pass up. He knows it?s a good way to get in front of old and new fans in one swoop.?


Starting to really dig the guitars on this i love......and street of dreams is awesome piano and guitar vibe.....

Sorry, this is not Guns-N-Roses.

Without Slash and Izzy it's just Axl and a bunch of other guys.

Tracks I listened too are OK, but it's just not the same, and it never will be.

agree with penguinfan, this band is just Axl and his karaoke roses.

i saw old Guns'n Roses twice -91 and must say it was perfect rockband. excellent live bands like Rolling Stones and U2 can't get even close how they played live.
