It's out today, figured this deserved a bump.
A few questions... Anybody go out and buy it today? Any opinions on the album in its entirety?
I bought it... If only to add such a mystical beast to my collection.
But... I think it's pretty damn good... I've listened to it a few times online and twice today, and it seems to be an album, like all great albums, that grows upon you with each listen.
Perhaps more interesting than the actual music, though, is the liner notes. Holy jesus, how Axl managed to keep track of who contributed what to each track I have no idea. He also has like 3 pages of thank-yous, in which it appears he hopes to pay tribute to every human being he has met (except Slash and Duff). Some of the more interesting inclusions:
Donatella Versace, Kid Rock, Sebastian Bach, Izzy Stradlin, Lars Ulrich & Metallica, Kimi Raikkonen, The Suicide Girls, Bubbles and the Trailer Park Boys, Mickey Rourke.
I am very intrigued to see how it will sell.
