Guns N' Roses album to see light of dayAxl Rose promises music this year Guns n' Roses' long-awaited album 'Chinese Democracy' is nearing completion, according to singer Axl Rose. The reclusive frontman has broken his silence on the band's LP - their first original material since 1991's 'Use Your Illusion' albums. "People will hear music this year," he said. "I'm trying to do something different. Some of the arrangements are kind of like Queen. Some people are going to say, 'It doesn't sound like Axl Rose, it doesn't sound like Guns n' Roses.' But you'll like at least a few songs on there." Speaking about the progress of 'Chinese Democracy' to Rolling Stone, Rose explained: "We're working on 32 songs, and 26 are nearly done." Of those tracks, 13 are slated for the final album, with Rose picking out 'Better', 'There Was A Time' and 'The Blues' as personal favourites. However, Rose has revealed that a reunion with his original Guns n' Roses bandmates is unlikely, saying: ""I haven't spoken to (guitarist) Slash in ten years. I love the guy, I always wanted everyone to know how great he was, but.... I was just talking to Izzy (Stradlin - guitarist) the other day though." The current line-up of the band could be hitting the road in the near future. "Every time there's a big festival announced, we get rumoured to be on there," he said. "But we'll see what happens."

Members LifesonFan2112 Posted January 23, 2006 Members Share Posted January 23, 2006 Don't count on it happening this year. Axl mearly said "you will hear music this year." That sentence leaves a lot for speculation. It could mearly mean a single for a movie soundtrack or a full-on album. I doubt he means an album since he also says they are working on 32 songs with "26 nearly finished." I'll put my money on a 2007/2008 release rather then a 2006 release.

Members Kelly Posted January 23, 2006 Members Share Posted January 23, 2006 GnR is the most overrated band in history. They released one good album, a few sucky ones, and then supposedly have one in the can for 10 years. Even if it ever gets released, chances are it'll suck, too.

Members fishfartz Posted January 23, 2006 Members Share Posted January 23, 2006 screw the naysayers!!! just kidding guys, i respect your thoughts but i dont think GnR is over-rated. appetite (IMO) was one of the best debut albums in a long, long time. and i do like alot of the use your illusions - some damn good songwriting took place back when they ruled the world. and i noticed some of the songs that axl got credit for writing were some of my favorite. not to take anything away from the band (id kill to jam with duff & izzy myself) but those songs that i liked written by axl i liked the feel of, it wasnt just the perfeclt crunchy guitars and duffs thundering basslines....it was the songs. so i for one would like to hear it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cloudnine Posted January 23, 2006 Members Share Posted January 23, 2006 AFD was great, but UYI should have been 1 disc - there was a {censored}load of filler on both of them.As for CD, I'll believe it when I see it though Axl does seem to be making more public appearances these days.The dude has had WAYYYY too much cosmetic surgery.

Members satannica Posted January 24, 2006 Members Share Posted January 24, 2006 Considering how much Guns 'n Roses has made the record industry, do you think 13m is a lot? It's {censored} all! But still though, Axl looks like he should be applying to get At The Gates together! hahahaha. Chinese Democracy: stupid {censored}ing title, stupid amount of money, stupid amount of time... and we're only guaranteed to like a few songs on there... gimme a break If it ever does come out, as well as being the most expensive, costly and hyped album in HISTORY, its also going to be the most COPIED album in history hahahaha. Come on, will anyone seriously buy a copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it isn't too much of a hassle, can you post the part of the article where he discusses his work on the Chinese Democracy album? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
