    well Katherine,
    I'm off...
    going to finish up the suitcase and of to sleep... gotta get up early tomorrow!!!


    so my guess is I'll see you all in a week...


    You leaving us Johnny???

    Not much of a nose, a brain, and if he continues in the way he is with lack of new material, he won't have much of a future career either. No new album since 2001, which luckily is a half-decent album. The last truly brilliant album was Dangerous. Apparently his new album comes out later this year - "Hey Mike, only took you eight years, brilliant!" I don't think he's finished, just his best days are behind him. As long as it doesn't come out like Thriller, then all is well.

    Things are very good with me, I've had a great week so far. I finally bought the new Coldplay album. Didn't like Prospket's March so much, no wonder it was an EP. And I remember a few weeks ago saying the new Guns 'N Roses album would be bad. It's not as bad as it looks.

    Maybe it should have been called the Axl Rose Project instead.
  2. I though Chinese Democracy was utter crap, even my friend who is a GnR nut agrees.

    And what was wrong with Prospekt's March had some decent songs, in Glass of Water, and the Lost (Jay-Z remix), and Life In Technicolor ii is fantastic, reaches the same high that Lovers in Japan did.

    I think that Micheal and GNR are in the same boat, their best days are behind them Sad, really
    What I've heard from PM I've liked, but nowhere near as much as the original album
    I got Muse: HAARP I am loving this band

    Unfortunately, two great artists have their best days behind them. The demo tapes of Michael's from the last album and the recent Akon leak wasn't too bad - very good in fact, and the original Chinese Democracy leaks were pretty good. As usual with most albums now, some songs on CD were awesome but there's fillers and questionable songs. I mean, what took 17 years?

    Muse are a fucking excellent live rock band. Totally totally awesome. Prospket's March I think is one I'll avoid this time around, why ruin a perfectly good song with some rapping over it? As I said, think of it as the Axl Rose Project. The other core members of GnR are gone, so why should it remain as that title?

    So Lyndon, you didn't like Chinese Democracy? Not even Shackler's Revenge or There Was A Time?

    I really would rather have an album of 8-10 great songs as oppossed to 14 meh songs and 2 great ones
    Muse are fucking awesome, I haven't been this excited by a band since I got into U2
    I'm really starting to get into Kings of Leon too, the new album is great
    The thing is, GNR kind of went downhill after Appetite, so I don't think I'd find the Axl Rose project any better

    I think that's what most people prefer. If it was 8-10 songs then there's less room for crap. 16 songs is a little too long. I wasn't a big fan of King of Leon - it was horrible to endure. But I only ever heard one album so maybe they're good but not the album I chose. A lot of albums I've got have ten songs on them, and they're usually all pretty good songs. An album with 16 songs is asking for critical trouble.

    I thought I'd missed like eight GnR albums, but it seems I hadn't. The last album was bloody covers, but Use Your Illusion I was the last best album. Use Your Illusion II was pretty mediocre, then whatever happened with TSI from 1993 onwards is anyone's guess.

    I think Kings of Leon are one of those bands that you either love them or just don't get it
    GnR were one of those bands that were gonna fail from the beginning, because they were all drugged up assholes, as terrible as that may sound
  9. Oh, I haven't listened to it, was going by some really scathing reviews, and my friend's thoughts.

    Not that I would listen to it anyway, it's like asking me to listen to a Hip Hop album or death metal. I didn't care much for the music they made back in the 80's (though SCOF and WTTJ were fine) and I doubt I would now, especially seeing what happened to Axl and the rest of the band.

    Replacing Slash...what a bad idea

    I'll have to get some of their other stuff. The name of that album I got was Because of the Times. I really didn't like it at all.

    Abou the GnR comment, it doesn't sound terrible, because it is true. I mean, can you imagine touring and recording with this guy? (pictures removed, search for Buckethead).

    Slash has gone onto other numerous and better things with artists that are still actually good. So he did the right thing by leaving.


  12. Yeah, really Slash was the only thing the band had going for it. All the GnR fans used to say,
    '...he's nothing compared to Slash, now there's a guitarist' and such.
