I'll listen to the songs, but I doubt I'll end up buying any. I don't like Shackler's Revenge at all.

I.R.S. is my favorite song on that album. I'm not buying any plastic drums until Beatles comes out. But then I'll pick up the discs for rockband 1 and 2 and AC/DC and the guitar hero games that are out by then, and all that good shit.

Guns and Roses only had one good album, then made a couple more, then vanished.

This isn't that good album.

It's a good album, but not the masterpiece Rose was hoping for. Obviously Appetite for Destruction would be the top choice, but I'm totally not surprised Harmonix couldn't get it.

Yeah, it's good, but Appetite for Destruction was great.

Weird, I was just thinking that we would get Chinese Democracy. I also thought we would get some of the classics too, but nope.

I'll get Chinese Democracy and Better, but the rest of the album I'm not a huge fan of.

I'd pay money to remove Shackler's Revenge from my copy of RB2 :)

That, and Visions.

It's a shame the album is amazing up to and stopping at Shackler's Revenge. They should put You Could Be Mine on there so I can pretend i'm playing Guitar Hero while driving to the mall in 1991 to play some arcade games and get chased by Robert Patrick.

Bad album is terribad.

I can only imagine that it will be worse on Rock Band.

All those fail songs...

...being played with failure...

...across the world.

*ugh*

Do they have Foo Fighters' The Colour and The Shape on there yet? If not, it's a fucking travesty.

They do. Yeah, I'm not getting anything this week, either. I've actually ragequit the solo tour when Shackler's Revenge comes up.

Whatever happened to "Welcome to the Jungle" being in Rock Band 1? Man that album needs to be put on. CD isn't a super great Axl album, but hey I love the man and 2-3 songs are worth getting.

Is the album really that bad?? I haven't heard it myself but I always hear a lot of different opinions on it (more bad than good but some good too). What made it so bad anyways?? Just curious.

No, it's really not that bad. Apart from a few ehhh songs, it's really fun on guitar and vocals.

Might buy a few songs from it but I feel it's way overpriced for just 13 songs...I could get the Red Hot Chili Peppers for that price and there are more songs. (I already bought 6 songs from that album though)

I gave this album a few listens and honestly, I don't see what's so bad about it... Plus I've heard a lot worse albums too.

The album is really good, not AfD good, but it's still good, some awesome guitar and awesome vocals, my personal favorite is Street of Dreams.

I love the vocals to that song. Axl went crazy on it. I only have Chinese Democracy but if I can I'll probably also get Better, Street of Dreams, and There Was A Time. Don't really need the whole album to play on Rock Band to be honest. Im good enough with SRV, Rush, and Megadeth.

I love this album with the exception of four songs (If the World, Catcher in the Rye, This I Love, There was a Time). My favorite is Prostitute, that song is a true masterpiece and one of my favs from he band.

I actually enjoy If the World, that's such an erotic song, the guitar in that songs makes me horny. This I Love is a great song imo too, it may be a cheap copy of November Rain but still enjoy it, other than that, I pretty much agree.

People, believe it or not, i've not yet listened to this album.
Does it has some songs in the likes of 'Welcome to the jungle', 'Get in the ring' or 'Shotgun bleus'?

This album is amazing on guitar, which not suprising given the guitarists involved. I just can't stand Axl's voice at all. I really think he ruined it, which is odd since he's the reason it exists in the first place.

BTW, why did this thread get resurrected?
