W. Axl Kev Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Oh I fuckin' hope not. No dance music please. Silkworms and Riyadh are fuckin' shite!I have noticed however, an overwhelming amount of drum machines used in the songs. It sounds like Brain is only playing the bass drum Just dance music is a tragedy and it would not work on a Guns N' Roses record. I mean when I read that the 'other' side of ''Better'' has a wow factor I thought... Shit! Shaq is in the motherfuckin' house! But thankfully he was far from the house.

If these solos are new than Robin has learned a few licks, if there new than Axl has learned new ways to combine instruments to back up his vocals; from Buckethead.Anywho they may sound a bit "technoy" but like I said it's Buckethead. Like in Better it starts off a typical "annoying" guitar intro. Techno is usualy fast with crazy noises, these solos now include some tapping with stutter switches and distortion which Bucket and Robin have both brought. Also the backing Guitars include heavier more complicated riffs and very little rhythm guitar, because the better the lead the less rhythm.And about the supposed "drum machine" which is total bullshit. Brain is a technical drummer and with the lacking quality on demos it can sound a bit robotic, kinda like studio Bucket.....Im suprised Mr. Fujakii put aside the Bucket influence as he is an avid listener.

Natywat Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 It's true that there's nothing really groundbreaking by mixing techno and rock music together. It even has it's own genre everybody, it's called industrial. I believe what Axl is trying to do is take the idea, and just run with it. He's experimenting with all different sounds and tempos. That's why you get songs like better, and oh my god, and it's also why you'll get epics, monster ballads, rockers, and probably a few songs you can dance to (remember, oh my god has a disco beat woven through it)so if you don't like the songs, just keep listening. Axl will blow through enough genres on this record to play SOMETHING you'll like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlskAmpf Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 (edited) Rolling Stone, January 2000- Axl SpeaksThe rebuilding - and ongoing reinvention - of Guns N Roses has been a difficult and, quite obviously, slow and expensive process. Rose does point out that the expense will be less glaring if, as he expects, he gets another record out of the hours and hours of material he's committed to tape, possibly one that's even more industrial and electronica-influence than Chinese Democracy. ''I'd like to take some of the old Guns fans along with me gradually into the twenty-first century,'' he says.Song after song combines the edgy hard rock force and pop smarts of vintage Guns N Roses with surprisingly modern and ambitious music textures. In addition to the album's almost grungy title track, tentative song titles include ''Catcher in the Rye,'' ''I.R.S,'' ''The Blues'' and ''TWAT,'' which he says stands for ''there was a time.'' The tecno edge was there for awile, but I think much of what you hear is the drum machines, I don't think they will see the record. The robot riff doubling the melody, yes, very techno, very Buckethead. I don't think we'll have too much techno influence, just enough to keep it interesting.

(I like the new GN'R songs better though.)I think people underrate Slash's Contraband solos...they aren't that bad.Thank you.The solo in You Got No Right is as good as Slash back in his GN'R prime. Slither (while mediocre overall) has a really ripping solo too. Loving the Alien has beautiful guitar work.But what we always seem to get are a bunch of simpletons who can only seem to paint Slash's work after GN'R with one very broad brush. Have these people actually heard all the songs? But silly me...why put in all that effort to actually listen critically when you hate the guy and it's so much easier to just bash him with one broad stroke?Slash has good stuff and not so good stuff. Please try to be fair and give credit where credit is due. Writing one sentence bashing all of his work is P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C.
