gnrfan2007 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 One of the knocks on GnR in the past was that they were never consider as a band that *invented* a new sound that could be thought of as a new genre, where the genesis of their sound could only be traced back to them.GnR has been called a band that is like a *melting pot* of many different sounds.With the old songs, you could easily pick out the pieces in them and trace their influences to some other band.But GnR has never been considered one of those bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, NiN, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Beastie Boys, etc ... that are considered *NEW MUSIC*. A band that has contributed a *NEW SOUND* or created a *NEW GENRE* to the music landscape.*New Rock* or *New Music* stations do not play any of GnR's music.Music historians who have reviewed CD consider CD as a *melting-pot* of all music from the Beatles to the Hip-hop/dance sounds of today. These historians say CD is like a *history* of most of the popular music since the Beatles.BUT ... is the music on CD *NEW MUSIC*, ie. where the sound is so distinctive and unique that it can only be traced to GnR?Is this the LEGACY that Axl wants for GnR ... to be considered a band that has created a *NEW SOUND* and *NEW MUSIC* that is distinctly and uniquely GnR?Or will GnR be remembered as just a *melting-pot* type band?

Guest siliconmessiah Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Nothing sounds like CD. It is so unique.Actually. It is very unique in many ways. I wish that the new album will continue this, and that they will not go into generic rock a´la DJ Ashba.It would be fantastic if CD2 has kept all Buckets and Robins work.

SunnyDRE Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) they were never innovators/inventors, they just learned their rock history well."nothing sounds like cd"? it's more like CD sounds like other stuff.Yep. The other day I was listening to Queensryche's Empire and it kinda reminded me of CD for some reason. Considered making a thread, but was too lazy. Parts of CD also remind me of Porcupine Tree, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Filter. Edited September 2, 2011 by SunnyDRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Is this the LEGACY that Axl wants for GnR ... to be considered a band that has created a *NEW SOUND* and *NEW MUSIC* that is distinctly and uniquely GnR?I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For ten years now or more AXL has toured t CD and AFD with a sprinkling of UYI albums ..his boys are directed to play "what people heard on the radio" and that is AFD mainly..so its a throw back to the "melting pot" Until this band puts a stamp on its own music its main sound is still 80's-90's era. CD is ONE album with interesting concepts but your not seeing every band run out and try to emmulate it like they did with AFD.Most people couldnt tell you two members in this band without having to cheat and google it on their iphone. Its a nice studio experiment album. Axl hasnt reinvernted the wheel here he just fuzzed up the sound with pro tools and ringer muscians. Its slick polished and professional rock and roll..everything Axl got famous for hating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
