I know I probably shouldn't even be mentioning this, since with the release of Chinese Democracy Axl Rose has now officially driven the stake through the heart of the album as an art form, in one fell swoop changing the landscape of the music industry forever, and become a World Historical figure who has broken the old law tablets and ushered in a new age. Thus I do recognize that by the time this comes out on Tuesday it will be just an unmarketable, scattered collection of songs that will show up in the Music History books as a mere footnote to Axl's self-destructive triumph...but all the same, if you haven't seen this crazy shit, you should take a look:

am I the only one who thinks that song is terrible?
I mean, I appreciate the Rhythm of the Saints-style tribal drumming, but if i'm going to rock that much autotune, i'll put on a T-Pain record.
Also, Q, despite your sarcasm, Kanye and Axl have more than a little in common as artists.
I actually love this, but then I am a big Daft Punk fan, and to me the synth voice here (and their previous work together) makes me think more Daft Punk (yeah!) than T-Pain (boo!)
I literally cannot listen to this right now. I am writing with Chinese Democracy playing in the background and I don't want to pause it.
well, autotune is what it is, not synth voice.
autotune=tpain.
Tex-- exactly! Kanye and Axl do have quite a bit in common as artists. I'm not sure I'm a huge fan of this song, but the video is INSANE...not necessarily in a good way or a bad way, just INSANE to pretty much the level of GnR insanity in its prime. The thousands upon thousands of tribal warriors dancing in front of the psychedelic giant woman...gives Slash riding on dolphins a run for its money.
