"Velvet Revolver"

So, what do you guys think of them? I got their first album, pretty awsome. If you don't know who they are, they're the band with three former GNR members and 2 other people.

Meh.

I'll leave this to see if GB decides to comment on it.

Unless you mean that you think hard guitar parts always sound better than simple ones, then I don't see how.

The context being that you prefer Heavy Metal, or that you think there are better guitarists within the Heavy Metal catchment

How is that even relevent?

What's not genuine about it? I'd be pretty angry if I was in a band and my bass player of fifteen years decided to quit and some internet geeks were downloading my music without paying.

Metallica shouldn't really be compared to Guns N Roses anyway. Thrash metal and rock and roll are two different things.

Speaking of G'n'R, it's odd, as I bought Appetite For Destruction on Friday.
It's eerily coincidental.

"Battle Of The Bands"

I win.

True, otherwise Metallica would be made to wear pointy hats with the letter D on them.
