Probably not worth the wait...

This is slightly outside the world of The Word, but American radio station Q104.3 are currently streaming the first official song from the new Guns'N'Roses album (I think Radio 1 have also played it).
If you want a listen go to - http://www.q1043.com/pages/news/gunsnroses/
Personally, I think it's pretty poor and definitely not worth the 70 year wait, but then I have a very low tolerance for ROCK!
(PS. I just bought Unknown Pleasures and Technique from Oxfam books in Chorlton, total cost: £6.50. God bless the charity shop. This isn’t related to the above, but I wanted to share the good news with someone – Mrs. Rowan won’t be that interested when she gets home)

Sounds like background music to
some old Playstation 2 game. Oh and you are right, and this from someone who did like G's & R's and same them more than once this is crap.
I haven't heard the song but could it be
that he was trying to go in a Nine Inch Nails industrial road with this one? It was claimed that was what he was wanting to do back in 1992 after the Use Your Illusion albums.
If you look at the producers
that have worked on this over the past millennia - as in Bob Ezrin, Roy Thomas Baker, Mike Clink, Andy Wallace, Sean Beava and others, it makes you wonder who is gonna end up in the credits. My guess is 'A. Rose'
I saw GNR back in their pomp as a 16 year old metaller and they were ace. But neither that 'me', that band or that music scene exist any more.
Wheras the new AC\DC one (don't muck about with the masterplan) - let's rock!
Hmmm... indeed... but...
The current G 'n' R can hardly be compared to 'proper' G 'n' R - without Slash it's like The Who without Townshend or The Stones without Keef
As for the new AC/DC album - it just sounds so 'slick' when compared to (say) Dirty Deeds or Highway To Hell. I listened to it yesterday and it didn't even raise so much as a token punch of the air - it just seems too 'sterile'
