    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
  2. 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.


  5. 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.

    I don't have Because of the Times, but I have about 3 songs that I really love Although Knocked Up is a bad opening song for an album IMO
    Don't even mention Buckethead, I hate that creep

    Slash is'nt that great a guitarist though, I can name some much better ones

    Don't go by what others say on something. Chinese Democracy is a hard album to get into, but it is worth the time.

    Velvet Revolver was pretty good while it lasted


  10. Velvet Revolver look pretty good.

    Not related to them in any way, now that I know who is in the band, but I can't stand these new bands. I prefer the old way of playing...which is playing to your fullest, not to what kids think is hard rock. Look at the Stones, still rocking out and still putting out damned good albums.

    I've heard from many followers of AC/DC that Black Ice is a piece of shit. Anyone else heard the new stuff and would tend to agree? I do like Anything Goes on it.

    I don't have any of the newer Stones albums, but I saw Shine A Light in IMAX, amazing, those guys can still put on a great show

    There are still some great new bands, you just have to look hard for them
