13 yrs 11million dollars, the collapse of Geffen records, 4 guitar players, 3 drummers and numerous studio musicians. It all breaks down to an Axl Rose solo album. GNR's demise occured 15yrs ago.
That being said the tracks are not bad at all. However, the tracks do show their age and sound like the 3rd cd of the Illusion albums.
The only reason its called Guns n Roses is that Axl owns the rights to the name.(Slash and co. if not so high might have fought him on this in 91).
The guy can't even tour the album because right now he doesn't even have a band in place. I have a 9 track copy that was leaked out some time ago so I don't have the liner notes. I am curious how many musicians are listed as being in the band over the last 13 yrs....
Final analysis: Too little, way too late Axl...
