I wish i was more familiar with some of these guys guitar work because i'd be intrested to know who plays what leads.
I can pick out most of Bucketheads leads. I'm also thinking Better is a combo of both Buckethead taking the early leads and then Robin Finck playing the bluesier ones at the end.

Who plays the "If the World" and "There was a time" leads?

Also, I think the title track, There was a Time, and Riad n' the Bedouins are my favorites so far.

Buckethead plays the ITW solo, and Robin plays the first half of the TWAT solo and Bucket plays the second half. Out of five guitarists, I hear buckets, fincks, and bumbles playing throughout. I can't pick up any parts from Richard Fortus or Paul Tobias....they're prob. buried DEEP in the mix.

ah so thats why the entire album sounds like a crowded heavy metal circle jerk... its amazing that with all the overproduction they left so much chaotic layering that does nothing constructive for the songs... the more i listen to it the LESS i like it

Yeah, Slash's absence is definitely evident. You know what else?......the profanity! What is a Guns N' Roses album without the parental advisory stamp on it! I miss the "Get in the Ring" days.

I think I heard 1 single "f" bomb

Random Fact: I heard on K rock the other day that Axl spend a shitload of money to make the drums sound just like Dave Grohl's drums in Nevermind.

To be honest, they really don't. Just a little bit.

Actually, I believe axl wanted that sound JUST for the song Chinese Democracy. In the original demo(s), it is evident that was the sound they were going for...it is very similar. However, since they re-recorded the drumming on the final album version, it sounds nothing like Grohl and I don't think it was suppose to. I think they were actually going for the more traditional GNR drumming, ala Adler, with that take...I actually like the drumming on both versions.

I see.... that would explain the not so nirvana sound. The drummer on this record is Brain, Primus' second drummer. He is sucha cool ass drummer, but I was pretty dissapointed with the playing. I bet Axl didn't want him to play his own way.

The record has 3 or 4 "nice" songs, that's it! I would give it a 4/10 if I never heard anything by "them" before. As an Ex-G'N'R Fan, sorry but waiting 17 years for the next record was simply too long! I have to say: the album is a joke in comparison to the Illusion Records and I don't even want to compare it to 'Appetite'!

I know that some people will say that you should listen to it without comparing. That's impossible if you call it a Guns N' Roses Record, if Axl didn't want any comparison to previous Albums by his band he would have released it as a Solo Album!

If Eddie would throw everyone out of the Band, claim the rights to the name PJ and live in seclusion for the next 14 years and release a lame album like this I don't know how some people would react around here. I don't think that people would say, you can't compare it to the previous records.
