A few weeks back, Kousin Ray said that Guns 'N' Roses' Use Your Illusion I & II would be one great album if you trimmed the fat. He also said this album could rival the greatness of GnR's debut, Appetite for Destruction. Kousin Gary took exception to that and said, "No way!" So, here we are today. Kousin Ray took twelve songs from the two UYI albums to pit against the twelve songs of Appetite with Kousin Gary.



To reiterate the rules: After a coin flip, the winner can either go first or defer their pick. The first picker chooses their "gladiator" or song for battle. After a short listen, the opposing picker chooses the song (or gladiator) to battle the round's opening song. The other two Kousins then vote for the winner. The two pickers can change their vote if they choose to, as well. Whichever song has the most votes... wins. If there's a tie, it goes to Twitter (or "X" as it's known now) for tiebreaker votes. If that doesn't make sense, just give it a listen, and it will become as clear as mud.



Luckily (or perhaps unluckily) for Kousin Tim and Kousin Marvin, they just have to be the judges. But this is a hard job and a hard battle to judge. The Showdown only got through about half of the battle this week. Next week is part two!!!



All four Kousins gave their "Now Listenings."



A call from Nick Provenzano and a text from Carlos.
