A personal message and non-movie-music tangent from the owner of The Playlist: As of this moment I have never heard Guns N' Roses Chinese Democracy. That is slightly untrue. I heard about 15 seconds of one of the leaked demos about 6 months ago and I heard that song that played at the end of Ridley Scott's recent CIA thriller "Body Of Lies."
There's a line in one of the best movie's of all time, "Top Secret," where the the old Doctor Flamond says to Val Kilmer's character about the existence of a secret WWII weapon, "If they find out you've seen this, your life will be worth less than a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory."
And that's how I sort of feel about Chinese Democracy. It's value to me is about as much as a truckload of dead rats in a tampon factory - I could give a flying fuck. So I hereby solemnly swear that for the rest of my life, I will actively never listen to Chinese Democracy. If it is ever playing in a room I will walk out and never return. If It plays at a party, I will leave. I don't care. I detest Axl Rose and always have. I have zero interest. The level of press attention is nauseating. The end. We will never speak of this again.

I'm not even a fan of G'NR, but I do realize (and you do as well) the man made one of the greatest Rock albums of ALL TIME in Appetite for Destruction.......respect
I'm glad someone said it.
I love this. This is awesome. I wholly agree.
I agree, but I'll also admit that the song at the end of Body if Lies was kinda cool (of course maybe only in that context).
This is not Mel Tormé!
heh, i need to own this movie. I fucking love it. Actually one of little brothers does. Hello, i know what I'm watching when i get home for xmas.
i always wanted to do a whole music piece on this film - How silly can you get! ooooh oooh!
YouTube! Mickey, get on that.
What if other songs from chinese democracy make it into more films? will you abstain?
I'll have to plug my ears or dash out of the theater.
