Free Music Review: Guns & Roses
Hit: 4 Stars
What can you say? It's awesome if you are a G&R big hair fan. I don't like a lot of their filler music so this one just has the good songs for the most part.Free Music Review: Greatest Hits from the Greatest Implosion in Rock History!
Hit: 5 Stars
Oh, oh, oh.... the might have beens... John Bonham not dying, Hendrix not choking, David Lee Roth and Eddie Van Halen not hating each others' guts.... and one of the Greatest Rock Bands of All Time not going up in unfathomable self-induced flames...
I didn't like GnR that much when they were together. Sure, I liked Paradise City when I heard it on the radio, I liked the November Rain video, and I couldn't get that Sweet Child O Mine hook out of my mind... but it was after I bought this CD and listened to it about 50 times that I came to realize what a truly MONSTER band this was.
What a waste. What a waste.
For those who know GnR, my reviewing each song is pointless. You know them all. For those who don't know GnR very well, I'll just say this is a great place to start.
The one thing I WILL say after listening to this CD is that Sweet Child O Mine has to be one of the most perfectly crafted rocks songs ever made. Slash's tone is about as sweet as you will ever find anywhere. That hook is the stuff of legend. Axl's voice is spectacular, one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. Steven Adler still had all his faculties, and is relentless. And the WAY the song is put together--- HOW and WHERE they use the main hook, the several secondary hooks, and the spectacular guitar and voice solos.... I'm in awe.
So, finally, to conclude:
What an absolute freakin' waste.
Free Music Review: Chinese Democracy - The Trilogy...?
Hit: 5 Stars
March 6th, 2007 has come and gone and so has the latest release date for 'Chinese Democracy'. I sit here and ponder on perhaps the greatest hard rock band in history and what it once was.More than a decade has gone by since the 'breakup' and this greatest album never made could have been the best thing to happen to the limping and almost broke music biz. A real tragedy because the tracks that have 'leaked' out on French websites and other bootlegs are very well done. Axl and his current Gunners recently performed them live on their US Tour.(Outstanding in every way possible-also performing for no less than 3 hours!) No doubts about Axl: He's still the most amazing vocalist alive with his tremendous range and charisma.So what the hell happened? Was it the constant firings of execs, Axl running over the sample CD's with his silver Ferarri,the revolving door of musicians that couldn't handle 'The Dictatorship' of working under Axl's demands:(16 takes of one solo from one song delivered to Axl each day) or was it the unpaid royalties, lawsuits,and past-life therapy sessions? Perhaps it was the life-sized chicken coop that had to be built for Buckethead to record in, made out of real chicken-wire and plywood or the impromptu trips to Disneyland Axl had to take with poor Buckethead so he wouldn't quit the band? Whatever the reason is, it looks like the plug has been officially pulled by Geffen and Interscope. At one time Axl had envisioned it as a 'trilogy'. I'm just thankful for the 4 or so 'new' tracks. As for any others? Who knows? I was lucky just to be able to see GNR perform in L.A. ( Axl cancelled the remaining San Diego and Sacramento shows ).Finally, I think that history will be kind to the Axl/GNR Legacy showing them as the rock icons they deserve to be.Free Music Review: ((Overatedd...get something BETTER!))
Hit: 1 Stars
Okayy...Axl Rose is possibly THE MOST OVERRATED "singer" OF ALL TIME! He has no vocal talent what so EVER! Do yourself a favor...and buy something GOOD! like: LED ZEPPELIN, ACDC, PINK FLOYD, THE DOORS, THE GUESS WHO, THE BEATLES ECT.
REAL Rock&& Roll FAN!
