Don’t get me wrong I love “Chinese Democracy” for a long time that was the only song from the album on my ipod (don’t worry they are all on there now- put the gun away) but when you know how sometimes you just suddenly realise that everytime you go to listen to an album you always start on a certain song thats what happened with “Shackler’s” I put that song on first. I will give “Prostitute” another chance (that could be taken wrongly!) and will make sre I pay more attention to the lyrics.

I’m glad my obsessive ramblings have paid off!

I also prefer “Shacker’s…” (note; not “Shambler’s…” – you’ve gotta love a good typo …) more than “Chinese Democracy”, but you’ve gotta admit that “Chinese Democracy” is a brilliant track to start an album with – that intro that builds up from pretty much nothing is excellent – it’s also being used to open shows now and “Welcome to the Jungle” has been pushed along and is now the second track. It just goes to show how strong these songs are.

As for “Prostitute” – when you next listen to it, I suggest really paying attention to the lyrics – I promise you, it’ll change the way you think about the song
…If not, you can just put it down to more obsession on my part.

I read the blog on Metal Hammer and it p***ed me off! it was literally just someone attacking Axel not a word about the music or the performance! You might expect from a personal blog but not one on a mag website.

And thanks to Lou i’ve been listening to this a lot more recently (I, too, did not give the album the attention it deserved when it first came out and thanks to Lou’s obsessed ramblings… sorry did I say obsessed ramblings? I meant enthuastic praise, I’ve been listening to it solidly for about 2 weeks and I’ve found that I prefer “Shamblers Revenge” to “Chinese Democracy” but I’m still not too struck on “Prostitute”.
