Wanna hear something depressing? my roommate bought this racing game for xbox 360 about a month back. the game is called Burnout: Paradise City. the game is centrally based around the EDITED version of "Paradise City" by GNR. and there are Obama ads on billboards very subtly placed around the video game city.

Crap! I have to write a review of Chinese Democracy for our school magazine. I thought that album would never come out. I guess it's reality now, since the record company is giving me the album for free... Not that I didn't like GNR, but I just don't expect much. The songs that I've heard on radio haven't been very special.

I don't like GnR and I have no interest in checking out the new album, but can anyone tell me the songs that Buckethead contributed? I'm interested in hearing those

24.11.2008 - 04:24 Written by Dangerboner on 24.11.2008 at 03:22 I'm reading the liner notes right now, here are the songs where Buckethead is credited (as performing): Chinese Democracy Shackler's Revenge Better Street Of Dreams If The World There Was A Time Scraped Riad N' The Bedouins Sorry IRS Madagascar Prostitute ...LOL, thats all but 2 songs off the album. Though he isn't credited as writing any of the songs.

I think gn'r was at it's best when buckethead was with them(he made way better solos on old songs than slash), so it's cool he's playing on that record.

24.11.2008 - 16:21 Written by LeChron James on 24.11.2008 at 14:58 Why not? Okay his playing was okay (but nothing more), but his songwriting qualities are really subpar. Just listen to what he wrote for Snakpit and Velvet Revolver. IMO Slash is one of the single most overrated guitar players ever. All image no substance.

24.11.2008 - 17:33 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 24.11.2008 at 16:21 Fully agree with you there. I always found him to be so boring. Sure he has a great image, but that is about it. Kind of sad that people like Slash get so much attention yet it seems know one here knows a guitarist like Chris deGarmo.

The new one is pretty good for a mainstream rock album. Production-wise there's a lot of stuff going on, lots of variety and little touches that keep it from being generic. Perfectly listenable, some nice leads here and there though the riffing isn't spectacular (mind you I don't think it ever really was in GNR). The vocal performance is somewhat impressive, Axl displays as much range as ever, at times even reminding me of King Diamond and Jon Anderson.

25.11.2008 - 00:18 Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 24.11.2008 at 16:21 alright i will agree that Slash's lyrical abilities are not at all impressive, but the reason why he started VR and Snakepit was to try and form the blues based rock band he couldnt get outta GnR. i theorize that if he were in a more complimentary environment that his skills would be much better showcased.

25.11.2008 - 07:03 Written by LeChron James on 25.11.2008 at 00:18 I don't care for his lyrical abilities I was talking about songwriting as in the sense of writing the music to songs. And that is atrocious. Why do you think he wasn't allowed to write songs for GnR? Only parts of songs, that's it.

Slash is doing better solos with VR than GN'R. And VR could become greater than old GN'R if they only have took Sebastian Bach instead of Scott Weiland (who's quite weak singer)

25.11.2008 - 22:15 Written by [user id=35853] on 25.11.2008 at 12:55 I really hope you are kidding. VR is almost exactly the reason why I think Slash is overrated, he should have been completely forgotten about after creating that bland jock-rock pile of boring. So no, he was at his prime when Axl was controlling him. Yes I agree they would have been better if they took Bach, but a good vocalist can't always cover up shit song writing.

09.12.2008 - 17:16 Written by Doc G. on 25.11.2008 at 22:15 i too consider Slash overrated, he is pretty damn good, but he's no guitar god, and a Sebastian Bach-Slash band would be EPIC. especially since Bach shares imo a similar voice with Axl, though Bach is WAAAY better.

I went to the Gunners gig in Sydney last year. Seb Bach came out and did a few songs with Axl. They can both still wail really fucken well! Was a bit sad to see Gunners without Slash, Sorum and Duff but I think as long as Axl leads them, it still has that Gunners sound. Slash is by no means 'awesome' but the man has good stage presence and just looks the part. I read his book, thought it was cool, kinda made me wanna be a trashy rock star Haven't got Chinese Democracy yet but a mate tells me its good to listen to on a lazy Sunday arvo, sinking beers in the sun.
