i for one have always been a sucker for axl's ballads and it should be noted that i basically love all these songs with the exception of shackler's which i " like " i think the album will do o.k including debuting at # 1 but like james and others have noted, this album should have been released some 6- 7 years ago. with that said would we have better on this cd which may be the biggest hit potentially ? not that me or my family is the official gauge but i am 35 and my fav. has always been the blues. my brother is 44 and his fav. is if the world. my daughter is 12 and she loves prostitute. my son is 7 and his fav. is better.
Re: Rankings/comments on all the new songs
The fact that fans can't agree on their favorite song speaks volumes to this album. There are perhaps as much as 10 different songs that a fan will think is the best. Even Appetite can't compete in that respect.
This is witness of a great diversity and quality, and ultimately honors the spirit of Guns N' Roses as I see it. Doing something familiar, but always being ahead of everybody else in keeping it interesting and fresh. Yes, it's old and nothing new per se, but it is done in the way that AFD made simple hard rock sound groundbreaking in its time. Guns N' Roses wasn't about pushing music forward, they were about perfecting what was already there, making it their own.
What I hear on CD isn't something old and then thinking "how original..", it's "I know here that's coming from and it works perfectly in what it is trying to achieve." How will the public respond? Who cares, really. In the end I'm happy Axl made a record for fans of music instead of for fans of GN'R (hang alongs, expecting a set reality and image, the masses). In the end he may succeed with what the old band did, having a serious rock record but with enough singles to make the masses say cool, we forgive you and come along.
In the end I believe history will become kinder to Axl Rose, the last real single name rockstar.

Havent heard Sorry or Scraped so I didn't put them on there.
If the RIR3 version of SOD had been the recorded version, it would be number 1. but they fucked with it and Catcher so much, they both lost a lot of magic for me.
This I Love is my absolute favorite song and if it weren't for Finck's garbage guitar solo, it would break into my top 5 GNR songs of all time.
