Guns N' Roses, McCartney albums are on Myspace
SOCIAL NOT-WORKING website Myspace will be hosting the debuts of ex-Beatle Sir Paul McCartney's and Guns N' Roses' latest music albums from today.
Guns N' Roses' album Chinese Democracy has taken the poodle rock band more than a decade to produce, lead singer Axel Rose has fired every other original band member over the years, and the MAFIAA music labels have thrown millions of dollars at the long hangfire effort that they might eventually recoup only if the album goes multi-platinum like a rocket.
Copies of the new opus will appear in Best Buy stores in the US on November 23rd.
McCartney's project group The Firemen is launching its latest album, Electric Arguments, which will be released in stores on November 25th.
Myspace users will be able to listen to tunes from the two albums online before they appear on ecommerce sites like Amazon and in high street shops, but the music reportedly won't be available for download. Instead, punters will be able to order the ex Beatle's offering online at Myspace Music, but not Mr Rose's.
The Big Music MAFIAA that owns Myspace Music – Sony Music, Vivendi's Universal Music, and Warner Music – and the record labels releasing these albums, apparently don't realise that a lot of today's yoofs already have music hijacking software that can save anything and everything that crosses their computer systems.
Most of the tracks on the very long-awaited Chinese Democracy have already appeared as bootleg copies, including on the Internet. µ

Paul's is already torrented up.
Chinese Democracy is perhaps the most brilliant example of early 1990's GnR I have heard. It really is an excellent album, Rose has perfected the music GnR made fifteen years ago. It is already on my play list with Rattle n Hum. I am not being sarcastic, it is an excellent album.

Maybe in the next GnR album Rose will move forward: I think he can and I expect it would be a fantastic album. Rose is capable of perfection in the genre he helped create, I think he can move it forward.
Having heard that "Firemen" album, all I can say is "my ears!". Unlistenable self-indulgent toss. Maybe Macca was in a good band once, but we really need to stop fawning now- he's not a "musical genius" these days, just a serial sonic onanist.

As to Gnus and Roses.. well, enough said, really. It was hair metal for secretaries even when it was popular, no need to give further validation to the wife-beating talentless alchoholic screecher.

Don't encourage either of them, please. Failiure to sod off is a terrible thing, just look at Cliff Richard.

Bah, after that rant, I need something soothing to listen to, none of the above..
