They were fairly scathing about it on Newstalk this morning. Is is to be the musical equivalent of Heavens Gate (film that cost loads and totally bombed)? While its release has co-incided with an upturn in interest in 80's metal/rock I think with Slash & co all gone it'll be seen as an Axl ego-trip.
btw, only got access to You Tube recently and checked out the Appetite for Destruction videos, couldnt believe how processed they looked - like LA's Louis Walsh had packaged them.
