I'm sorry, but I am very much looking forward to this record after hearing these clips. I still think Scott Weiland is a great talent and hope he keeps himself going. These sound a lot more STP than GNR.

    the single isn't that bad, I miss stp so I hope it all sounds like STP but the GNR sound doesn't sound that bad either.

    The single blows hard unfortunately. I wish Weiland would go back to writing the sort of lyrics he wrote in STP. These fake rock posturing lyrics he writes today are absolute crap. Axl's title track "Chinese Democracy" is better than anything VR has been able to come up with. http://youtube.com/watch?v=BlF0E8k3kVE

    Slash and Duff fucked up by not releasing the songs that Izzy helped write for them.

    Say what you want about Velvet Revolver (they're above average, not great imo) but NO ONE in GnR has fucked up more often, or more significantly than Axl Rose.

    Has everyone seen the live clips from VR's South American tour? Pro-shot and all that loveliness.

    Smokey Robinson constantly looks like he's trying to act natural after being accused of farting.

    Axl may be fucked in the head but he knows how to write a good tune. I like the guitar solo on "Let It Roll" by the way... too bad the song sucks. Weiland singing "Let it Roll, Daddy-O" is just embarrassing. Since we live in a day in age where a shit band like Wolfmother can become popular I'm guessing Velvet Revolver will do alright with this album.

    I don't know - I've listened to the new clips from Chinese Democracy, and while it's better than I expected, it's not exactly mindblowing. And Better is the only one I could even attempt to hum the melody of, so I'm not sure how memorable the songs are (though I do recall There Was A Time having a frankly terrible chorus). Plus, every leaked track seems to be fairly overblown, and while I love that side of Guns (esp. Estranged), I also want to hear if they can do It's So Easy-style stuff well.
    The simple fact, as far as I can tell, is that neither the VR boys, nor Axl, are as good without the other.

    I don't care what anyone says... I like VR, and Contraband was a satisfying and thoroughly enjoyable straightforward rock album. The new songs from Libertad sound pretty good so far... about on par with the stuff on Contraband if not a little bit better.

    Libertad is one of my most anticipated albums this summer along with Carry On and Icky Thump.

    i agree
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.
