-GNR hadn't had new music since 1991, so it would be 17 years in between albums instead of 15. As you know, Myke, Spaghetti was a cover album and featured no "new" music.
-Your name sounds like My Cock with a Boston accent.
-I think you have a cousin named Myke Hunte.
I'm sure others picked up on this, but I guess the pink elephant has been identified.
1) High... very high! But once I have it I'd probably just be soooo happy to have an album after such a long time, I would pay little attention (at first) to it's quality
2) Yes, I would bother to buy it. However, we all know that would never EVER happen
3) I would probably end up being more classic material. I'd prefer the Achtung Baby direction
4) As a die hard fan I could never root for any album by U2 member(s) to be a failure. If I did, I might as well just go out and buy Britney Spears album and listen to that
Going back to you though: how did YOU feel after hearing the long awaited GnR album? Were you satisfied with what they came up with? I am no fan, but from what I have read, most diehard fans were pretty disappointed with it
