15 revolutions is a relatively long period to work on a rock and roll record. There are alot of impressive things going on here.

Some people hate this album and some love it. That is nothing new. But the quality is there. I was never a huge fan of Guns and Roses. So I have no vested interest.
The guitar work is excellent on almost every track.
Axl's vocals are top notch. He does things that are very hard to pull off.
The inclusion of found sounds and samples are near pitch perfect.
I don't understand the drum machines on several of the songs. He could of hired any drummer he wanted.
The lyrics are fine. Nothing spectacular. Just adequate.
Some of the melodies are wonderful.
There are numerous 'hooks'.
This is a very unusual album. I have no idea if it is good or bad. It is quite schizophrenic.
Somehow, even when it is boring it is interesting.

Hmm, maybe I'll give it a try - your thoughts on it have made me curious.

Yes, it is all very curious.
Why would someone spend fifteen yearlies on this album of these songies.
Why would a guitarist wear a KFC bucket on his head and a Mikey Myers mask on his face.
Why would some one hire a full orchestra plus three guitarists and a bass player then use a drum machine for the percussion.
Why would some people who have spent the last fifteen years salivating over the release of this album complain that it "Sounds Nothing Like Guns and Roses", when they know full well that, other than Axl, it is a completely different band. If you could even call it a band.
Why did Dr. Pepper promise a Dr. Pepper to everyone who purchased this album.
Why would Axly turn over this album to his record lable then disappear.
What is the odds that one album could feature both a guitarist named Buckethead and one named Bumblefoot.
What does the Chinese and their chosen form of Government, or non chosen, have to do with anything.

Listen to the you tube link that I posted and get back to me with the answers.

Apparently, Brian May of Queen fame, originally played lead guitar on many of these tracks. But was systematically deleted from the final cut of the album.
During the making of this album, Axl Rosemarie suffered the loss of his mother, went through extensive plastic surgery and was punched in the face by a bare fisted Tommy Hilfiger.

Track one sounded okay, but track 2 was fekking terrible so I've turned it off. At least I tried...

Good effort.

I'm not necessarily arguing that the album isn't "fekking terrible". It may very well be. Apparently the albums price tag was close to fourteen million dollars in studio cost. One million dollars per song. Staggering.

I saw them in concert. Once!

Are ya a musician, Tea?

An Axl is a first order prick of the same order of twatness as a Bono.

Otto digs it.
