What the hell is this trash!! Somebody must have paid the record company to actually put this on disk. Music ok, vocals to erratic between Cypress Hill,and Fergie. Need to go back to the studio and take the cotton out of their ears!!!!

Fergie sounds better than Axl. Slash’s guitar sound better than it has since Appetite. There is no need for Cypress Hill though.

Interesting…I can hear the guitar progression since the original, never thought it could be better, but can hear the cleanliness? change. Not what I expected, but it was all rite, Fergie did do a little better on enunciation though, didn’t she? Figured Cypress would have done a little more w/ it though…
