There have been so many people coming and going from GN'R over the years, getting a solidified 'group' shot would be quite difficult... hehehe

This is pretty big news though - an actual official release of new music from GN'R.
It's a smart move to aim at all the young gamer kiddies too. Definitely good exposure for them.

I find it funny though, a few years ago I would've been REALLY excited about news like this, but now I'm just like yeah, whatever...

Oh, and this Spacehog guy is fucking rubbish.

I'll be sure to check it out, I always like to support good Aussie rock!

What do you guys sound like anyway?

I don't see how it's make or break now anymore than it was previously.
They released what was considered their worst album (St Anger) and they still went on to play sell out tours all over the world.  Hell, even the last few years with no new album out they still pull a huge crowd. Metallica don't need to release anything and they'll still be popular.

Do you honestly believe that if the new album will make or break whether Metallica will continue to be popular? These guys are music legends, and the first 4 (or 5 if you count Black) albums have solidified them as such.

Great to hear Slash ripping through those songs, shame Perry cut Slash off where the first solo was supposed to come in in Knockin. Teddy has a great voice too, sounded just like Lenny!
