It has been 15 years since Guns N Roses Released “The Spaghetti Incident” and 17 years since Guns’ last official release “Use Your Illusion.” I grew up listening to “Sweet Child O’ Mine”, “Welcome to the Jungle”, and “Knockin On Heavens Door.” As a kid we often sang these American Rock anthems without knowing how much of an impact that they would have on Rock music all over the world.
Throughout the years I forgot about Guns and about their status as a band and just figured that they had broken up. Later on I had heard that Axl had started a new band by himself that still went by the name Guns N Roses. The worst part about that would be the departure of Slash, The bands Lead guitarist and the genius behind legendary guitar riffs such as those on Sweet child of Mine and Welcome to the Jungle.
Then recently I discovered that they were finally releasing a new album. Yesterday, I picked up Guns N Roses – Chinese Democracy. After 17 years hearing the first notes of a Guns N roses song was like experiencing Rock history! Their new lead guitarist is no slash but is damn good. Some of their songs have a heavy “new age rock” sound but a lot of them are still good. And then some of them have that old school Guns sound that simply rocks you!
Folks, go out and pick up Chinese Democracy and if not then just listen to their song “Better.” The song is amazing and it has that old school guns feel to it. Brilliant!

Hey, thanks for the comment. Bonita, by the way, is my best friend. And "Bonita" is how we call each other. Or used to. We have outgrown it in a way as we now call each other by our names. :)
