"Thing is, I have now heard it. Held a copy in my hand, artwork intact, and listened to it start to finish. I?ve got to tell you, it?s good. It was loaned to me by a family member of someone, (truly all I can say so no one gets in trouble as it was never to be out of this person?s sight).

I?m not talking about comparisons to Appetite, that would be apples and oranges, but a more solid effort that Use Your Illusions 1 or 2. By way of comparison, it makes anything Velvet Revolver did, or will ever do, sound like just another Slash?s Snakepit album. Remember when V.R. was going to save rock? Didn?t happen, but Democracy may just succeed where they failed. When this comes out, Slash and co. are going to be veiwed as throwbacks, and after hearing this I honestly wouldn?t want a classic Guns reunion.


Without giving too much away, and knowing that some of you have heard some tracks, this thing is going to do well. In my opinion, there are songs that are going to blow you away, (if you let them). Soundwise it is well recorded, and mixed to be played loud, (and why not). The songs are interesting with some filler, but not much. Forget about Axl being Industial, or Emo, he?s just being Axl. The band sound great and fit as GnR 2006 to a T. So much so, that when this comes out, people are going to say, ?Slash, Duff, and Andy McCoy?er, I mean Izzy who??

This band IS Guns and Roses, and Guns and Roses are going to be big in 2006 and beyond. Chinese Democracy is going to be as remembered as Appetite For Destruction, and will leave a legacy in pop music as well as pop culture.

Thank you for your time. Let the insults and disagreements fly."

Interesting. I find the whole cover art thing hard to believe. You think he would have described the art, or maybe a song in detail, maybe drop a name... bogus.

[Jonx]

Well Gigger, if this is true........ then i fear and kind of hope that its only a matter of time before a copy leaks onto the internet!

The only thing that makes me suspicious of this is the fact that he didnt go into detail at all, no tracklisting, no descriptions of any songs....... im only thinking its true because the Rope forums are in my books considered to be pretty reliable and a decent forum!

[Origen]

Sounds like BS, just someone else trying to take a pot shot at the original band ?

[Steel_Angel]

Not believing it until I get a copy, son.

[gigger]

Just to clarify... I didn't write this - I read it at another forum and copied here. 

[supaplex]

fortus says that it's coming in september and this guy says it's done, including artwork. then why aren't they putting it out there??
i think it's bs

[Mr.Intensity]

Chinese Democracy tracks are still yet to be mastered.... he didn't hear any official Chinese Democracy disc.

Any real review that is of the official disc would most likely give a tracklisting and details of a few of the tracks which may include lyrics/descriptions of a guitar solo/cool drum beat/synth... this review is obviously a sham just by looking at it. Factor in that no tracks have even hit mastering and you have one big pile of shit........

It wasn't written as a review... Just a post saying he has heard it. My wording was slightly tongue in cheek - obviously lost on some people.

Just curious as to how you know that, Mr. I....

Well, I mean if he has "heard" more than we have and he states that he has seen the "artwork", it sounds like he is trying to say that he's held an official copy of Chinese Democracy we are going to get in his hand. Furthermore, he states its made to be turned up loud or whatever and as per a few days ago I can tell you that no Chinese Democracy tracks have been mastered. Chinese Democracy will be mastered, reproduced and distributed quickly.... it's not gonna be mastered, then have 50-100 discs get passed around a inner cirle increasing the chance for a full leak.. no fucking way. That review is bullshit, unless he is just going by the 8-10 new tracks we have heard from live recordings/demos/ and "oh my god."

[BLS-Pride]

I say bullshit.

[michaelvincent]

fortus says that it's coming in september and this guy says it's done, including artwork. then why aren't they putting it out there??

That doesn't sound so far fetched, there are things like record company schedules to contend with. I doubt the whole company is sitting around waiting for CD to be done, and there are plenty of releases that are definitely coming out that need attention and already have promotion money/interview and magazine coverage/etc. already lined up.

The next few months are probably going to be spent allocating money to promotion and getting press coverage set up. That stuff takes time.

[Neemo]

hmm, no track list, no describing artwork...hard to believe...but vague enough to be believable...


Who knows anymore what is real and what is fake....one thing is for sure...If i got my hands on an advance copy it's be in my CDROM and ripped in a blink...before i listened to it, and the jewelcase insterst and cd booklet would be scanned asafp.


But that's just me i guess. ?
