Chinese Democracy is to Guns what Pop is to U2. If you can find a used CD store, the back of the CD will be spotless to where you can see every wrinkle on Guy Osbum's face as he is trying to defraud a fan of their Verified Scam Code, and give it to a rich man not short of cash mister!
In Other words, the Chinese Democracy CD will be spotless, as NOBODY has listened to the songs. They may have HEARD one or two of them, but just adopt the general public opinion that if the popular consensus is that it stinks, than it must stink.
I could ask any number of fans at a 360 show to describe the bass line, or hell, any element of "Last Night On Earth," and would get blank stares. They would Not Know. Ask a casual Guns fan about "This I Love," "Better," "Street Of Dreams," or "Sorry," and you get the same Blank Stare. Democracy is not perfect, but those four songs would be classics if released between 1989-1993. And several other songs are pretty good as well, but as we age, most of us only HEAR songs, and fail to LISTEN. It took a long, long time for me to be certain my poor opinion of SOI was really sincere. Just listening back to NLOTH and how much better it was convinced me.

But I was like: I have to go, its a once in a lifetime experience to see Axl and Slash on 1 stage. Pretty good strong show, only downside was: no interraction with the audience, and IMO too many guitar solos.

I know Axl's voice has been a bit meh.
