..as long as you aren't using a Crap-Pod. I was able to rip all the songs perfectly on my system and transfer them as MP3s to my player--which isn't a Crap-Pod. Maybe all these complaints are nothing more than "user error." I'll let you all figure out how I did it...
I have to say though that I think the industry is going in the wrong direction with this 'digital copyright' nonsense. When you hand over your hard earned cash for a CD that is the end of your business transaction with the artist. The CD and it's contents are yours. You should have every right to take the contents of that disc and do what you please with it regardless of what some commie-fascist jerk in government says. The only point they have is if someone is re-selling the contents; then it's a problem and I'd back them up on that. That would be like highjacking a truck load of burgers haeding to McDonald's and selling them for half price around the corner. But the fact is that all CD's are made up of 1's and 0's therefore it's only a matter of time before someone cracks it and lets the world know how to do it.
I did have problems playing this CD though. On my system in my car, the CD would not register on the equalizer and would randomly blank out the display. Nice! No other CD that I have ever put in there has ever done that. Fortunately, the system can play it as MP3s as well and when it does, all those problems disappear.
As far as the music is concerned, it's decent. I don't really see these guys pushing the limits like they did as GNR and that's a shame. It is pretty much is a copy of all the other dying breed of metal-grunge bands out there. Slash's guitar work with Lenny was better than all of this stuff put together. I'd hate to think that he, and his mates, have lost their edge already and are now willing to follow the lead of the very same bands that they paved the way for nearly a decade ago. Why not just record some jazz improv and have Scott do some scat raps over the music? It wouldn't be that original but at least it wouldn't be the same boring crap that everyone has been doing since oh say April 5, 1994.
