...Thought I'd ask. They came out of NYC around 89/90, I saw them support Metallica and they were excellent. Their first 2 or 3 albums were very good, then they split apparently, but now are back together in some fashion or other. I'm seeing them in a couple of weeks in a club in Cardiff, looking forward to it :)

Anyone else remember them ? Anyone seen them recently? They've been touring in America.

    I've no idea. I lost track with what they were doing after album 3, from what I gather this line up is pretty much just the singer...doing an Axl, and I did see some bad blood on show from (I'm guessing) original members.

    +edit+ this was on album number 3 :)

    I had their debut but went no further. the Losers is such a killer tune. I also remember some 'song' more like a spoken word on there that used to freak people out. Kinda witchy...

    Bloody hell! There's a blast from the distant past! Drugs, God & The New Republic was a pretty decent album at the time.

    Where are they playing in Cardiff?

    You know it's funny that this thread was just started.

    You know why?

    Check out the name of their new album...

    That's right! Chinese Democracy!

    Sneaky ploy to have another thread about it or coincidence? :D

    No, I am going to see them soon is why I asked the Q.
    As for the album title, sure, I guess it was nothing more than opportunism on their part. We've all known the name of Axl's new album for like 4 or 5 years, so I suppose when WS were trying to name their album, somebody suggested that they nick it...I bet they got a decent amount of interest from it.
    As a footnote, I should point out that it was only available mail order or at gigs, and as a limited run which is more or less sold out now. From now on the album will get a proper release with a different title......I guess Axl's lawyers had a word in Kory's shell like ;)

    So, they played a really excellent gig, only about 60 people there but it was awesome for us :) and Kory was a true gentleman and signed a cd slip case I took along....unfortunatley some tosser at the late bar I went to for post gig Guinness, decided to steal my jacket :mad: which contained said cd cover in the pocket.
    To the thief I dedicate this

    I owned Drugs God and The New Republic .... had a crazy Joy Division cover on it (Interzone) ...

    I can safely say I have not thought about them for at least 15 years.

    I played bass in this band for just over a year (2007) and it was this kind of poor decision making which led me to quit. I'm told 'Chinese Democracy' is now retitled and being resold as '...and we Rock n Roll'. Urrggh.

    I saw this on your list of concerts you seen this year and I remember having one or two of their albums. I'll have pull them and and give a listen once again.
