For me, it's very hard to see Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II as disappointments either, with the exception of those that are not into double albums due to being bloated, or even having lots of filler, which in that case, I'd also admit that it could've/might've also been better as 12-15+ songs instead.
And while I also liked "The Spaghetti Incident?", that kind of sound at the time would've seemed great for a new album of its own as opposed to cover songs, but that's just me. I'm guessing there might've been disappointment over that, since I'd understand if a lot of fans back in 1993 would've also liked a new album instead. And while there have been longer gaps in between albums, it's still quite the wait to look at and think about from 1991 to 2008 in between Use Your Illusion I, Use Your Illusion II, and Chinese Democracy. 17 years... and I, for several obvious reasons thought that Chinese Democracy would've never come out. And well... but of course I'd also know not to hold my breath for the Chinese Democracy's follow-up LP either. It also seems "TBA" in 2015 though.
