Rob Rage Part 1: The All-New Guns N Roses


Well, after 14 years wait, the new Guns N Roses album is finally with us. I understand it's selling pretty well... which I would expect for a brand name that can still sell out stadium gigs worldwide.

Unfortuntely, it's not that great. There's only a handful of great songs on there and the rest are pleasent ditties you can do the washing up to. It's not bad...not at all. But strip away all the production values and you've got tunes you couldn't remember, even if Jack Bauer himself was interogating you!

What's sad though is kids buying this album today will think this is the definitive Guns N Roses (even though Axel Rose is the only remaining original contributor). They'll think that Appetite for Destruction stuff is dated and Daddys Rock. Poor buggers.
