    I've got it pre-ordered from bb.com. So I'll probably rip it and flip it on ebay :)

    Probably not. I haven't heard the new material but most reviews haven't been kind. Surely it won't be anything near the old stuff.

    I'll give it a shot....hey, if Metallica can make a very good record after St. Anger...maybe Axel has some bullets left in his gun.

    I'll buy it. The man wrote Rocket Queen and Coma. I owe it to him.

    I absolutely loved Guns N' Roses back in the day, but I didn't go see them tour with the new band and I can't see myself buying the record. Now if they reunite for a tour than I will definitely hit it up!

    Nothing absolutely mindblowing, but from what I have heard, should shape up to be a pretty good album.

    I will probably get the vinyl.

    A collegue of mine scored an advanced copy which was sent out to the press on Friday afternoon.

    We gave it a spin and were collectively underwhelmed

    I've got to say though...the first couple of licks of Chinese Democracy sounded promising...it had me interested...but it soon deterirated into a big overblown mess.

    It's a horrible song.

    I think Axl is a giant turd sandwich for calling this project a Guns N' Roses album.

    "Identity Crisis" would have been a more fitting title.

    You can tell Axl has been listening to ALOT of Nine Inch Nails and Hip Hop. However calling Chinese Democracy a mixture of both Nine Inch Nails and Hip Hop...would be flat out insulting to Trent Reznor; and I'm not going to do that.

    The album is overproduced and extremely pretentious; what else could you expect for an album that has taken nearly 15 years to make.

    Some tracks literally have like 5-7 guitar tracks going at once. It may sound like a chocolate sundae for guitar fans...but it's not

    It's like down syndrome put to muisc.

    Sorry Folks
    This is not your parents Guns N' Roses.

    I may have to hear more than one track before I decide.

    I wonder if you can get a free Dr. Peppers if you order copies from the Net. I don't think the postman will be happy delivering liquids especially fizzy pop that may explode (it's the drink I'm talking about not GnR).

    LOL, i don't they'll be mailing you an actual Dr. Pepper. They'll probably just send you a coupon to use at your local corner store.

    Something tells me that they can't ship that kind of thing through the mail. Maybe you'll get a coupon for a free Dr. Pepper or something in it's place :)

    The advance copy didn't come with any Dr. Pepper so we grabbed one out of the soda machine before we gave the disc a spin.

    I love every track off of the album. I think its one of the greatest albums I have ever heard...

    This I Love, and Street of Dreams are my two favourite tracks on the album.

    You don't have to buy the album at all to get the free Dr. Pepper. You just fill out an online form anytime after 11/23 to get your voucher.

    And for the record, this album is amazing, regardless of how long it took or whether or not it's the "real" GN'R.

    I'll be getting it. It's not Guns N' Roses as far as I'm concerned, but Axl is talented enough for me to give it a chance even if he is a douche.
