Sunday night & G 'n R

So I was listening to the radio the other day (it's a rare thing I do) and I heard that Guns and Roses has FINALLY released their new album Chinese Democracy...to say this album has been a long time coming is an understatement. The last time Guns 'n Roses released an album was back in 1991 with Use your Illusions I and II (I mean there was the Spaghetti Incident, but since most of that music came from Charles Manson, I'm just not gonna count it.) So I was 11 years old the last time they release an album...in case you hadn't figured it out yet, I'm 29 now...wow!

In reality it speaks volumes to the star power of Axel Rose and Guns 'N Roses in general that they could wait 18 years to release their next album and it almost feels like they haven't left the scene at all. Granted the whole band has changed, and I'm not really even sure Slash is in the band anymore, but still...amazing.

I'm currently listening to the album, and it's not that bad really. Kind of feels a bit like old G 'n R...maybe a little more subdued, but still Axel's voice is freakin' amazing and whoever is playing guitar (if it's not Slash) is also just sick!

Anyway, so yes a very cool new album from GNR (finally.) In other news I'm coming up on my one year anniversary at my job...that's pretty exciting. I worked at my last job for 2 years, but I can say this, I'm way happier at this anniversary then I was at my 1 year at Sri Trang...way happier...you can even ask my wife, and she will agree.

Ok, off to spend some QT with the wife before trying to get to bed early to start this short week off right.
