I get ya L3ggy. Give it more than once... Some of the best music isn't instantly gratifying... Not many albums can compare to AFD, or the Illusions. But, how silly if Axl was singing about dope, getting wasted, & whores, in his 40's? Oh yea, that's Motley Crues last album, pathetic. Axl's hired hands are great musicians, it is, what it is... Izzy still playes with him on occasions...
