I'm led to understand that "Street Of Dreams" is also the song previously referred to as "The Blues"

I saw that movie 'Body Of Lies' and I thought it sounded like Guns And Roses song at the end. It's only reading the writing that goes with each photo in the current gallery that I see it actually was them. I'm not a fan at all but I was surprised that the song (If The World) really wasn't that bad, seemed quite up to date.

chinese democracy is going to be released, this is the musical equivilant of having a monster under your bed. And just as scary, as it is most definitely going to be shit.

I heard 2 new tracks and i gotta tell ya...possibly the worst music ive ever heard in my life....i would rather be handcuffed to the PA system at a Geri Halliwell concert than ever hear this cartoon space age cod quasi faux alleged metal again! i would advise any fan of the original Runs n Roses to avoid this at all costs otherwise ready to have your hearts torn to shreds!

wellwoodparsfan i cant believe you'd mention chinese democracy in the same sentence as Joe Lean. people have been waiting for this album for over 15 years from a band that used to be one of the biggest in music history...Joe Lean are another boring indie clone.

Another band living on past glories, actually saw them live twice in their supposed "hey day" first time was terrible second time was worse. absolute drivel live fair play.
