As little as Lightning Bolt has done for me, I would still take it over pretty much anything by GNR. I have listened to all three of their major albums in the last year and they all made me want to retch.

I love me some Appetite for Destruction. That's a pretty flawless album. I don't really listen to it that often, or GNR for that matter, but it's certainly a classic and one of the best hard rock albums ever made.

I just can't stand Axl's personality anymore--too much dirtball misogyny and stone-faced serious macho horseshit. There is some good rock songwriting in there but I find it breaks through less and less as I get older. Slash is a great guitarist who should have had a career in a different genre.

Well, you sure can't argue that they put a lot of time into it. Which makes it hard to argue effort, really.
And there are implications to that, as well...such as, what craft exists on the record is more a matter of applied experience and time-supported muscle memory than of careful construction and dedicated effort.
But I guess there is still energy. I hear Ed runs on treadmills.
This is completely off-topic, but would you by any chance happen to be into weight training? Or was the term muscle memory used in a different context?
