It's possible that Buckethead suffers from agoraphobia, possibly a rather extreme case. Which is why he hides his identity and requests a place where he can be isolated, alone. And that's also probably why he's so damned good, because he'd have so much time - and likely inspiration - to practice the guitar. On an almost fanatical level, given the amount of content he puts out. It's his stress relief. This is all hypothetical (based on things I heard many years ago). Maybe you just need to be the right kind of crazy to get that good.

Here are my thoughts on the album; 1: It sounds alright, with plenty of decent riffs here and there. 2: The beginning sounds like Nine Inch Nails-lite. Aside that, it's alright but not as enjoyable as the first song. 3: I liked it. While not GnR's best, but it is a pretty decent song. 4: Kinda forgettable. 5: Interesting instrumentals at the beginning... I like the reference to Body of Lies by the way, I thought it was a pretty decent movie. 6: It feels like a jumbled mess, and I have pretty mixed feelings towards it. 7: Unremarkable. 8: Well, there's more energy to it but the vocals sound off. 9: It's pretty "meh." 10: Yeesh, this is some pretty melodramatic stuff... 11: Dunno why the song is named that, but it's fine. 12: It's okay, I guess. Definitely one of the better songs out of the album. 13: A bit too "touchy feely" for me, to be honest. 14: "End with a Prostitute" Best line ever. 😏👌🏻 I dunno, I though Chinese Democracy was alright. But that's the best I can describe it.

I'm not sure that this album would get as much hate as it does if it wasn't called Guns N Roses.

We get Axl's voice, and while not Slash or Duff, we get a TON of other talented musicians. I found it hard to complain about that.

And he actually recommended Axl go back and rerecord the album. 3) I read somewhere once GN'R were originally supposed to record 1 album and tour behind it for 2 years. Then release another so they don't have to go back to the studio and keep touring. So yeah, the stories behind this album are FAR more interesting than the actual record.

Later on during the reunion tour Slash would say that he really enjoys playing Chinese Democracy songs and actually enjoys how different it is he also said that "there was no way the original lineup could make an album like Chinese Democracy" and yet again gave Axl praise for it.

Honestly, I don't find this album that bad. But considering this was the same band that made Use you Illusion 1 and 2, and one of the most influential albums of all time, Appetite for Destruction. I can see why this album is hated (especially with the long ass hype.

I was one of the few who really liked Chinese Democracy, it's my third favourite GnR album. However, I do think it is insulting that the Guns N' Roses label was used on it, considering that only two members from any previous GnR album appear on it. I think it would have been better received and acclaimed if it was released as an Axl solo album. The long wait for an album is not an issue. I would rather wait fifteen years for an album and get the hype up rather than have an artist release 15 albums in one year and have no hype behind him, which is why I have never been a huge fan of Buckethead. It trips me out to think that they started recording this the year before I was born, and I was nearly 10 when they launched it.

Has anyone ever actually listened to all the albums by Buckethead. He has 298 albums.

I liked Chinese Democracy. I like to think of it as an Axl Rose solo album.

One lil funny story: Back in 2003 before Chinese Democracy came out, punk rock band The Offspring announced on April fools Day that the name of their upcoming new album would be "Chinese Democracy." Frontman Dexter Holland would say "you snooze, you lose. Axl ripped off my braids, so I ripped off his album title."

It is a Belting album. I always loved it.

No joke, I actually saw this album a few years ago at a dollar tree. There were at least five copies there. I think that's the appropriate place for this album.

What omg.....this album was great! Songs like "Prostitute" "This I love" "Better" "Catch her in the Rye" It just took too long to make but when it finally came out we wanted more like everything else!!! I'm sure it would have done better in the beginning of 2000's. Long Live GN'R

Hey Luke! Thanks for finally reviewing Chinese Democracy! I actually left a comment to review this album all the way back in January 2016 when you reviewed Good Charlotte's The Young and the Hopeless. I guess I wasn't the only one begging you to do so. I'm happy that we actually have GNR back, and with their tour being as successful as it's been this year. I was actually a sophomore in high school when this album got released, and I remember being slightly disappointed as I was a fan of Guns N' Roses since I was young, and most of the tracks besides the title track didn't sound like GNR. For me, I think that's what killed this album in my mind: it wasn't GNR; there were a lot of elements in it that could've made it GNR, but this album didn't have those elements put together properly. Chinese Democracy did get a bit of airplay up here in Maine for a few months after the album released, but soon after it sorta just disappeared and no one actually requested it on the two rock stations this state has. Fun fact: Maine actually has an independent rock station owned by Stephen King, because King is a huge fan of rock and metal, and it's been a staple of this state for years. 100.3 WKIT. They do live online simulcast on their site if you're curious, though you won't ever actually hear King himself on there. The DJ's are fun to listen to, and a couple of them have been around since I started listening to WKIT when I was in elementary school.

So this is a review for an album that took 14 years and millions of dollars to make, and one of the key takeaways from this is that there's a rock musician that exists called Bucket-Head. As much as I love this genre, my GOODNESS can it get weird sometimes...

trc2rockon Buckethead is an absolutely amazing guitarist. Check him out.

Hey, the new Tool album is finally out now!

Personally, I thought Street of Dreams was the best song on the album, but that's just me. You should also do Van Halen 3 and Aerosmith: Just Push Play, two other disapointing albums (especially VH3) by classic rock bands.

I really love it when The Dom shows up in your videos. I discovered you through him. And thanks, because today I learned that Buckethead exists and I'll be looking up some of his music, since apparently there's A LOT to choose from.

elizabethashley42 I highly recommend all of it. He’s one of the best guitarists of all time.

Couldn't click fast enough.

People are not giving that album enough credit. I thought it was a pretty good release

"The 2008 Guns N' Roses" *Shows 2014 lineup* ugh. Also Sebastian Bach was never in GN'R he's Axl's friend so he did backup vocals on one song after Axl did vocals on 3 songs for Bach. I will say, I do respect that you seem really open to the music. So thanks for that man.

Thanks to the GTA San Andreas radio station Radio X, I grew up with "Welcome to the jungle" - but this is just such a sad .... SAD!... album. Although, Better is a pretty good song. In my opinion, the peak of this band was from 1987 till 1991. They created FANTASTIC music durning that time. Please do a RTP on Nickelbacks Dark Horse, that would be TREMENDOUS, BELIEVE ME... Some people say it would be the best RTP of all time.... You know YOU WANT IT! IT WOULD BE HILARIOUS!

Thanks, pretty fair review! :-) Gotta admit, I still LOVE GnR as much as ever and "Chinese Democracy" musst be one of the biggest guilty pleasures of mine. Greetings from Germany!

It's funny that review that took a long time to make is about an album that took a long time to make. Thankfully the review wasn't a bust.

wstine79 Part of me wonders if Luke did that on purpose

i love the upward inflection every time you say 'the spaghetti incident?'

Like many other GnR fans, i was so excited for this album to actually come out (there were a couple years that i ended up admitting to myself that it was never gonna be released and was crazily disappointed. Then the day finally came!!!🤘) I was disappointed it wasnt the original line up, but obviously knew it wasnt gonna be. But i really really liked the album alot. I love Axls voice. I love the hooks, the production and everything about it. And i still (all these years later) love every song on this album. So much so that its hard to pick a favorite song! 🤘😈🤘

I have heard a better version of Guns 'n' Roses. It's called Velvet Revolver. I'm pretty sure Scott Weiland got along better with the band than Axl Rose did. RIP Scott, Axl is not even half you're supposed to be.

I feel like this whole album is just Axl saying "what fucking insane shit can I do with my voice today?". His range throughout this album is d i s g u s t i n g l y large

The “new Tool album” memes and jokes are dead now!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

I've never actually listened to this album before. When Shackler's Revenge came on, I literally shouted "That's a Filter song! That's a Filter song on a GNR album!" Actually, a lot of the album sounds like Axl singing over a Filter song!

I shouldn't do this...but i got one recommended album for you lulu by Metallica and Lou Reed

YOU WILL NEVER TAKE HIS BUCKET!

This album is awesome.

My uncle claims he pre-ordered Chinese Democracy back in the 90s and waited over a decade for this damn album to come out. I remember when it came out and I bought it… holy shit, I was scared to ask him if the wait was worth it.

the Not In This Lifetime tour has been going strong since 2016 and has raked in almost 600 million dollars... that right there blows my mind

This album should have been released in the early 2000s, If it had been released then I'm sure it would sell much more and because the sound fits perfectly that era. Even axl stated that the album was inspired by NIN.

I'm still curious why he doesn't do the album comparisons for every RTP episode he has put out. He did it for Come Clean, No Pads, Young and the Hopeless, 15, Extreme Behavior, Results May Vary and Devil Without A Cause so far.

Rockin' D probably because GnR are a good band

It took a while, but it was definitely worth waiting. Nice video!

Now I want KFC. Damn it.

Buckethead has written 240 albums. He has a reason to be crazy.

This album at least has musical merit. Even though it is not the best GnR album and went through a ton of production hell, at least it has a lot of listenable tracks with good musicianship and songwriting. Compared to other RTP entries, it is the least annoying IMO.

You keep acting like Buckethead is really crazy but he sounds like he's not. He sounds like a talented guy playing up an image for attention - like a Tom Green with talent.

vitogameboy NOT really. People who have met Buckethead have confirmed he's THAT weird.

Love this album.

Honestly, I still very much enjoy this album, start to finish. I tend to think of it in a similar vein to Use Your Illusion (albeit far more indulgent). I've always felt that had this album come out around 2001 (when they started touring again), it likely would've been received more warmly, but as it stands, it'll be remembered less for any of the music, and more for the bizarre and outlandish circumstances surrounding it (on top of even existing in the first place).

Should you do an All About Buckethead video? Yes, I think you should.

Buckethead also has another project that has been in production for even longer, a movie called All American Massacre. One of his many bands was called Cornbugs, which was him and actor Bill Moseley, best known for his roles as Choptop in Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Otis Driftwood in several Rob Zombie films. They released several albums but were also working on the film which was set to follow on the story of Choptop. Buckethead played Leatherface and wrote the score. Due to various problems, the film is still yet to be completed. All the filming was done years ago but it's been stuck in the editing stages for decades due to a lack of funding and potential copyright issues.

You mentioned a few times about a couple of tracks having been written and played in 2001. Actually pretty much the entire album was done then, a bunch of old recordings from the Chinese Democracy sessions leaked from 1999-2001 and 9 of the 14 songs from the album were fully recorded, albeit they went through some changes before 2008. The only ones not recorded by 2001 were Scraped and This I Love, while Better, Sorry and Shacklers Revenge were there as instrumentals only. The leaks also included 6 other completed songs with vocals that have never been released so there was more than enough for an album way before 2008. The older versions of the tracks are far more stripped back and aren't as messy and muddled as some of them turned out on the finished album.

The album wasn't that bad

Listen to what I say. You might be surprised.

i remember at one point during the run up to this album coming out, axel rose was saying along the lines of "this is going to be the biggest, most important album since dark side of the moon"

projectno5 could you give a link to when he said that?

This album is a solid late 90's early 2000's.

I think this is the best guns n' Roses album and yes that means I think it's better than appetite for destruction and both use your illusion albums
