Guns & Roses – Chinese Democracy

A varied album with flavors firmly rooted in the 70’s. Everything from Elton John, Journey to the SexPistols can be sampled here, with a generous helping of Zepplin. The star of the show is the guitar playing, for sure, which is gracefully featured throughout the CD. Extreme licks with purpose all add to the ambience of the record keeping the rock rocking & the ears begging for more. Lyrically this represents juvenilia, but that’s okay, the musicianship more than covers the reason one will be listening to this album in the years to come. The title tune is sweet listening. Shoutouts for Better, There Was A Time, and The Blues. Guns & Roses
