Für mich ist Chinese Democracy definitv das Album des Jahres. Vielleicht auch, weil ich mir nichts erwartet hatte und auch die alten Gunners nicht so oft höre, muss ich jetzt mal nachholen. Ich find es musikalisch und produktionstechnisch einfach super, trifft genau meinen Geschmack, es rockt einfach. Vllt. würde man anders denken, wenn da ne andere Band drauf stehen würde.
Ich für meinen Teil schließe mich den Reviews an, die das Album für großartig halten. Chinese Democracy setzt für mich noch ein anderes Zeichen: Moderne Rockplatten können dynamisch klingen und müssen nicht clippen, da kann sich Death Magnetic und Black Ice ne Scheibe von abschneiden, die zwei Alben in so einem tollen Mastering wäre einfach nur genial.

ROCKTIMES - CD-Review / Guns N' Roses - Chinese Democracy
Sehr gutes Review finde ich. Eine zweite Chance sollte man dem Album mindestens geben, bevor man sich ein Gesamturteil erlaubt!
Ich hör zur Zeit fast nur noch CD, echt unglaublich wie vielschichtig es doch ist. Man hört immer wieder ein paar neue kleine Spielereien raus

Denkst du das wir es nicht mehr als einmal gehoert haben? Ich habe es 5 oder 6 mal gehoert. Es leuft in meine Auto. Meine meinung andert nicht. Jeder hat sine eigene geschmack.
Fur mich ist der album gut aber nichts besonderes. Es ist eine Axl solo album und nicht eine GNR album.
Sorry, fals das jetzt n bisschen assig kommt, aber ich möchte anmerken, dass in diesem thread seit 3 Seiten jeder immer dasselbe sagt. sorry, aber das nevt mich grad voll (jaja, man muss es nicht lesen, danke für die info)

Chinese Democracy nur No. 2 on the Billboard Chart.
"GUNS N' ROSES' 'Democracy' To Debut At No. 2 On Billboard Chart - Nov. 26, 2008
According to Hits Daily Double, the companion web site of music industry tip sheet HITS, GUNS N' ROSES' long-awaited new album, "Chinese Democracy", will move around 300,000 copies (including a reported 25,000 downloads at iTunes on November 23 not counted towards the opening week for the Sunday release) in its first week of release to debut at position No. 2 on The Billboard 200 chart. KANYE WEST's new album, "808s and Heartbreak", will be No. 1 on next week's chart with a total that looks to be between 450,000 and 500,000.
"Chinese Democracy" has topped the iTunes Rock Albums charts across the globe, according to antiMUSIC. The long-awaited effort took the lead on the charts in U.S., U.K., France, Germany, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. The only odd ball holdout was Norway, where GN'R was No. 2 to TIM CHRISTENSEN's "Superior".
GN'R is currently on top of the overall iTunes album charts in Germany, France, Austria, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland. In the U.S., they are No. 4 behind releases from KANYE WEST, THE KILLERS and COLDPLAY.
They have been denied the No. 1 by THE KILLERS in the UK, Australia, Norway, Portugal and Spain. In France they are No 2. behind SEAL's new album "Soul". And it's a battle of egos in Canada where KANYE WEST is keeping GN'R from topping the overall iTunes album chart."

Hier nochmal was zum "Loudness War", der ja seit "Death Magnetic" heiß diskutiert wird. Die Produktion und das Mastering von Chinese Democracy ist wirklich erstklassig, mal unabhängig von der Musik. Dazu ein Statement von Bob Ludwig, der CD anscheinend gemastert hat.

Gibt es doch eine GNR reunion? Ich glaubs erst wenn es passiert, aber man kann hoffen!
Axl Rose out to reunite original Guns N' Roses line-up
RECORD execs are fuming after Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose went missing for two months before the release of the band's comeback album - but word is he has been trying to get the original line-up back together for a world tour.
Bosses at label Geffen are blaming Rose for the disappointing sales of Chinese Democracy - which took 15 years to make and cost at least $30 million - after vanished and refused to promote it.
They actually failed to make contact with him from the day he delivered the final cut.
But the star has reportedly been trying to get the original gang to reunite.
Guitarist Izzy Stradlin is keen to see the original members back together - while Slash's involvement in current band Velvet Revolver looks shaky after they were dropped by their label.

Also wenn das wirklich so kommen würde, und GnR zu RiP kommen dann wird einiges los sein, was Ticketverkäufe und Fanscharen angeht. Selbst ich werde dann trotz meines Zivis nächstes Jahr zu RiP kommen, das wollte ich nur wenn 1-2 Kracher dabei sind.

Axl hat sich im MyGnR-Forum erstmals über Chinese Democracy geäußert. Teilweise ganz interessant:
Total genial und er beweist sehr viel Humor
Darum lieb ich den Kerl so ^^

Sorry für die Doppelposts, aber vielleicht interessiert's ja doch jemanden:
Richtig gesprächig:
Q:- Will you go back into the studio again to record, or are you done with all the things have recorded currently?
A: Probably and that’s a joke right?
Q: - Will there ever be decent promo and interviews etc concerning this album or is this it?
A: There were imo well thought out plans and strategies that unfortunately were ignored once we were pressing CD’s. There will be proper interviews and some are already scheduled for much later intentionally. God idea, bad…we’ll see. I’m happy the record’s out the rest… one nightmare at a time.
Q: - What is your favourite band atm/ what was the last concert you went to?
A: Don’t really have a fave at the moment. I’d rather not comment so much on what I listen to or what bands etc. That hasn’t turned out well so much and seems especially if I’ve been positive so I’d rather focus on this band. Can’t remember. Actually perhaps surprisingly I’m not so big on live shows personally, never have been. That’s not to say I can’t go to an event and have a good or a great time and really enjoy it.
Q: - Why did you decide to sing that line, "But I don't want to do it" in that voice?
A: Because I like it, feel it absolutely fits the song, is a bit reggae etc and is lots of fun personally.
- COME BACK TO AUSTRALIA SOON...
A: When we can!!
Q: -how do you take very deep emotional things to extract words, notes, songs ?
A: Always different, most times much harder than I’d prefer and of course if it’s about something unpleasant that brings other difficulties into play.
Q: -This I Love is incredible, what's the next song in the trilogy?
A: Not sure, we have an acoustic piece I feel I can really work with and can hear the rest of the ideas for in my head so maybe…
Q : -Hows the autobiography going?
A: Answered.
Q : -What does the future hold for 'OMG'?
A: There’s a remix w/lots of new vocals and a wilder guitar intro but it’s not taken all that seriously.
Q: -Will Brian May appear on Atlas Shrugged?
A: Perhaps on an alternate or bits, on that track it has more to do with recording issues and getting the mix to a good level.
Q: -What had happened to the 01 and 06 supposed DVDs.
A: What DVD’s?
Q: -Thanks for appearing on MJ Fox parkinson disease event.
A: My thanks to Michael, Mohammed and Martin Scorcese for having me.
Q: -Are you gonna come to Croatia
A: I’d like that. Your part of the world has been through so much.
Q: -What part of guitar work for TWAT is yours?
A: I wrote Robin’s bit in the second verse. There’s microscopic bits throughout usually woven down in the other guitars. There bits throughout the end, the basic power chord bit was originally mine, there’s a ghost like bit that formed the basis for the end vocal melody right befor e Robin’s riff’s in one side in the outro before Bucket’s solo and as it gets to the very end there’s lot’s of little over dubbed bits woven in and out very small but structured bits.
Q: And which women influenced the writing of the new ballades.
A: Ha! We’ll get to these a bit later as they’re a bit more complicated than a simple answer of a few names but most are composites and became much more about the song than particular individuals.
Also again I’d like people to have a chance to develop their own relationship with the material a bit. Not dodging as most of these answers will come out over time.
Q: - Axl, will you release the HOB 01/01/01 on dvd, or have it available for download for fans through the gnr site?
A: Asked and answered.
Q: -Do you plan on being on the forums sometimes or is this a one time thing?
A: We’ll see how it goes.
Q: -Any plans on updating the website to make it more...fan friendly? And what ever happened to the fan club thing?
A: I’ve started (again) recently to make an attempt to try and get something going there. It’s been extremely frustrating. I’ve had ideas but former management went with theirs. Previous to what we have now I’ve consistently had others attempt to pressure and railroad me into working with others that I chose not to as it was more about managerial control than a good website and not in my best interest so the ideas get shelved and it generally just sits there. Plus as frustrating as it was for everyone it was not time to talk publicly. So it gets consistently shelved.
Q: -What are your views on Contraband and Libertad?
A: I’ll save this one. These are obviously highly charged areas and I’d rather take things one step at a time.
Q: -IF Robin is gone, who would you want to replace him?
A: Good question…!
Q: -What's goin on with this biography of yours
A: Asked and answered.
Q: -Who's Shackler and why does he want revenge?
A: He lives deep within each and every soul stirring only when the moon is right… or to the smell of KFC…. Or as Brain says “Once upon a time there was a Shackler…”
Q: -How'd you get those weird sounds in the beginning of the song that sound sorta like elephants?
A: That’s Bucket’s guitar. Which knowing that, it’s how I hear them and I could understand others having a different impression.
And on another note… I don’t really get the “industrial” rap it gets considering these are guitars with very minimal keys. Some of what may be mistaken for keys are Bucket’s different guitar bits and my underlying background vocals. Imo as it’s not clear to the average listener exactly what’s happening and it’s not something most are used to it tends to get lumped in to a category and by some it’s not so innocent as it’s being cute which again imo does a disservice to the song and the band kinda like how I felt when Sweet Child won a Moonman as heavy metal.
I’ve never been fond of that type of labeling as it tends to try and pigeon hole the material and the band especially in the mainstream media. Though there are others who legitimately enjoy the track and see it that way for their own reasons as well so then maybe it’s not all that important.
Also though Bumble is playing several parts the basis is Bucket and the main verse riff is his and his performance. Bumble’s correct in what he said publicly it’s just that there’s a lot more going on there as well.
Q:-What's a Riad/Bedouin and can you clarify for the last time if the song is Oklahoma or not?
A: Another one step at a time question! It’s not Oklahoma which later became Berlin and subject to change.
Q: -When's the next album coming? Are you still planning the multiyear thing?
A: No idea and that was someone else’s thoughts.
Q: -Why did you only play There Was a Time twice in 2006 and not at all in 2007?
A: Not sure I just go with how things feel at the time.
Q: -I'm glad you dusted off Don't Cry in 2007. Anything else (aside Perfect Crime which was on the setlist) that may be brought back from the dead in the future?
A: I’d like to do Estranged at some point but there’s no plans. I know the guys pick a couple every so often on their own to get down but I don’t know what those are.
Q: - i was wondering if there wil be a dvd release of the tours ya did in 06/07 ?
A: It’d be nice but rt now no plans.
Q: - What's the story behind Crash Diet and why was it never put on to a GNR album?
A: Somethin’ done with Wes and his friend and more about their guitars than Guns.
Q: - What the hell was My World? lol (I've always been curious)
A: Great question and here goes for all your inquisitive minds with a bit you aren’t aware of but is the real story…
Unfinished 1st run 1st dabbling/experimenting all in fun demo that became Duff’s favorite song at the time telling me how he loved to blast it at his house with Ice T and the Bodycount guys before Illusions came out and before it was decided to be on the record. I wanted to try and develop it and wanted guitars of some kind but Slash felt and his words at the Record Plant in all seriousness were “It’s perfect” and Slash and Duff were the deciding factor to have it on the album.
Personally I feel Duff legitimately liked it but I can’t say Slash did in the same way. In fact I feel he was keenly aware some would take issue with the track and against me so for him in that sense it was “perfect”. Imo Duff wasn’t aware or part of that and was “used” unwittingly for support in talking me out of developing it or not including it which at the time I had no real intention of using as is.
Q: -axl did you do a song with eazy-e in the early 90's i would like to hear it if you did eazy-e was tight
A: Answered but it’s nothing like Easy.
Q: -whats your favorite disney animated film and score
A: Hmm… Snow White and “Apple core nothing more…” more a skit than a score. Probably Cinderella but I haven’t listened consciously since I was a kid. If that forever a day line’s from there that was pulled out of my ass or my subconscious which some are certain are fairly close together.
Q: -do you have any fond memories of hanging out with n.w.a.
A: Not that I can share!
Q: -do you like the little mermaid
A: We text. The whole breathing under water and no vagina make things a bit awkward but…
Q: - when would be the earliest we could hope expect a tour/tour announcement.?
A: When we decide on one! Seriously I don’t know I’m focused more on other areas but we are talking seriously. We have a great relationship with our Euro and other areas promoter as well as the promoters in Austraila and Japan and Irving has lots of ideas we just started tossing around.
Q: - Is the song "Sorry", directed at anyone in particular?
A: Answered.
Q: - Have You Watched the fan-made videos online, do you like some of them? any in particular?
A: Only seen bits and pieces.
Q: - Will the rerecorded appetite ever see the light of day?
A: It’s really just adat and maybe but it was just for learning purposes, more like rehearsal’s.
Q: - Will we ever get a documentary of some sort about the rebuilding of Guns and the making of CD?
A: We’ll be talking about the reality of making the record a bit for a while beyond that I can’t say.
Q: Who is in the band?
A: Answered somewhere. It’s more about who’s on the album right now.
Q: - -Did you hear the arcapella version of sweet child of mine in step brothers? what did you think??
A: Haven’t heard yet. Heard it was funny.
Q: - the "next" album ,does it look like that one ? so different style ?
A: Not clear on the question exactly but I’ll take a shot… it’s a lot more different styles than on this one. As I’ve said it seems more like a double album to me meaning Chinese and the followup.
Q: - Can you take a picture of yourself with CD in your hand and add it to the "Do you Have CHinese Democracy" flickr group here Flickr: Do You have Chinese Democracy?
A: Don’t have one yet!!
Q: - - Could you name a few books that you've read lately?
A: Haven’t lately. Bought a book on Blackwater.
Q: - Is music the meaning of your life, if not, what is?
A: My family and Guns seems to be in a lot of ways.
Q: - is the band still in contact with Paul Huge? Any more future plans with him? Guest apperance on tour maybe?
A: Yes, I’m sure there are and maybe.
Q: -has anything disney influenced you musically?
A: More the atmosphere there and Walt Disney’s original intent along with Bucket and others who enjoy Disney and the films than directly music related..
Q: -is it just me or do i hear you say lennon when i play catcher backwards
A: Haven’t noticed. It’s not intentional from me but that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.
Q: -bumblefoot told me in the eddie trunk chat dizzy reed plays pokemon do you play pokemon whos on your pokemon team? and , axl , wii ps3 or xbox360?
A: Haven’t played.
Q: -will there be any cover songs on future albums?
A: Maybe. Haven’t planned.
Q: -are you friends with bill warde? i talk to him alot, can you tell me somthing i can tell him that will freak him out? so i can be like hey bill axl told me you ...bla bla bla etc. whatever
A: Sabbath? :thumbsup:Never met, say hi and all the best!!
p.s. please dawn the white underwear again onstage it looks amazing
A: Ha!! I’m wearin’ ‘em now and skateboarding in my crib filled with blue jello while on acid for I am The Shackler in the Rye with Diamonds!!
