With endless lineup changes and a vicious cycle of revisions, this Slash/Izzy/Duff-less GNR record looms large as a passion project pit against some extremely lofty expectations. Did Axl pull it off?
Was Chinese Democracy doomed by its own hype, or is it somehow a massively overlooked gem of ambition?
Tune in for a cautionary tale about chasing perfection with a bucket on your head. (And a chicken coop in your studio?)
