For me to! and i'm a huge GNR fan.

It has GNR doing country, gospel, classical, straight up hard rock & metal. It had the best writing Axl & the group has ever done.

Also Axl gets to stretch his voice a lot more over the 2 records!, and the band was driven to the best of the abilities on it cool

Great pics on everything for Michael & Prince smile

What do you & Aardvark think of Patience?

Patience was good. The singles were just as good as stuff on Older, LWP, and Faith, other than the singles though I find many of the songs boring. My favorites are Flawless, American Angel, and John And Elvis Are Dead

I realize this is too responsible. wink

My favorite act of all time, but I'll get to it tomorrow, because already a midnight in my town, and the Beatles really require a lot of time.
