[kj] Guilty Pleasures

[Jiri]

True. The Use Your Illusion ones are where the guilt sets in. I can 
listen/skip through parts of those just to enjoy the guitar sections 
alone, as if they are nice Slash and Izzy demos before Axl surely 
grabbed them and turned them into overblown wank. Another in a long 
history of evidence why just about no one should ever release a double 
album: "We have enough material for two albums." No you don't! You have 
enough ego for two, and maybe enough raw material for one!
