The reviews I read are quite good, but I'm a bit uncertain about the new band around Axl... I'm still wondering wether I'll buy it or not.
Appetite for Destruction, Lies and Use Your Illusions II are my favourites, way above Use Your Illusions I and "The Spaghetti Incident ?"... If most songs are ballads it may rather sound like the three albums I like, I'll see...
I've heard 'catcher in the rye' or something like that and it's a bit of a ballad. but according to my friend slash is still there with his spontaneous sweeping. what has been the worlds most rumoured album has come out with less of a bang than originally intended
Slash is not there any more since 1996... It's Buckethead and some other nicknamed guy that play the lead guitar parts on the album, basically people who toured as Guns'n'Roses with Axl Rose since 1999.
I was only vaguely aware of this thread before and now flicking through the comments was very interested to see the amount of muse fans here (I know they're popular but still...). I'm personally a massive Muse fan and watched them live (amazing!!!) in the NEC in Birmingham in November 2006. My favourite song is Butterflies & Hurricanes, but pretty much every song they produce is just great in different ways. Their new album should hopefully be coming out next year - looking on the official site Matt Bellamy seems pretty confident it cound be the best yet. Can't wait
Nightwish and Half Man Half Biscuit are two great bands also (Not in any way alike however).
I feel exactly the opposite: that he's one of those rare breed of guitarrists who is as skilled as Satriani, Gilbert and Vai who ISN'T as unbelievably boring and as Satriani and especially Vai.
With those three (especially Vai) it's not about the melody....which is wrong on so many levels. Buckethead however is the opposite, I feel.
