Man what are you on about? Ive heard several performances by the new GnR and they are great. Yea I prefer the old line up with slashs style of play, but ther new GnR have some great tunes. Madagscar, The Blues, Chinese Democracy, they kick ass man!! Madagascar is, and dont hold to this, in my mind, better than November Rain, it aint as cheesy and the lyircs are spot on! And... Axl laughed at suggestions that the 4 or 5 songs hes previewed live are the best.. the best is yet to come :)

I think this year is it, all or nothing, if the new album comes out it will be this year!
