Here Today... Gone To Hell!

"It's a very complex record,"
[Some of the arrangements are kind of like Queen


can we end all the Axl is a wanna be rapper, techno,Industrial,Nin, etc wannabe.....

Just as soon as he doesn't release another My World. :nervous:

this is interesting coz all along i was lead to believe that CD was gonna be very industrial,like NIN and ''OH MY GOD''.but the QUEEN comment has chucked all that out the window.if its mixed then we get an album which is industrial but with epic ballads,but will that work?

Key word there is "some". It can still have a wide range of styles, including techno, industrial,etc. He also said people would like at least a few songs, so its safe to say there will be some experimental stuff on the record.

when I hear complex rexcord I automatically think things maybe we aren't use to as gnr fans, or the use of synthetic sounds outside of your regular instruments.. Like when axl mentioned using computers years ago and at the time saying gnr fans weren't ready for that type of sound.. So it can be anything from industrial to techno type music to tons of synths to any kind of computer induced sounds..

It's kind of crazy to sit here and try and guess.. We'll see one day wtf he was talking about..

I kinda hope its really varied. Its taken him long enough to make it therefore I'd like to think its gonna take a while for me to digest and really enjoy iy

I hate cds that you really like on first listen and then after the third your bored

Well it won't be all new stuff to Guns fans as he did say there would be some rockers on the new album.

Due to the queen part of the comment, I'm thinking both more guitar and vocal harmonies, after all axl is a thin lizzy fan :peace:

well i don`t now much of the music queen did so i`d really like to know what "kind of like queen" arrangements are.....  i was a bit surprised that he mentioned queen in the interview. from what we`ve heard i thought it would be more like zeppelin.... perhaps both is possible...

I think that axl have worked with Brian May right?, so maybe he was some sort of influence of him doing some arragement in songs, either production or musicly talking, if is musicly I think the aproach could be some Innuendo stile or some The game stilecause I think it fits more in a GNR perspective.
If anyone feels I talked shit feel free to correct me  ;)

Aye.
Actually I don't think the basic tone has changed much.

In 1999 he described the album as a melting pot. He referred to Queen concerning the diversity.

In 2006 he describes it as very complex and different.
It's some of the arrangements that are said to have resemblance to queen and not the whole album. probably we'll see a dramatic/operatic touch of the queen type on some of the songs. I guess the mention was again an example in regard to the variety for which everyone will find "at least a few" their own fav songs there.


Rose: It's a lot of different sounds. There's some other really heavy songs, there's a lot of aggressive songs, but they're all in different styles and different sounds. It is truly a melting pot.
I go back to listening to Queen -- you know, we're still hoping to have Brian May come in and do some tracks, and I got a fax today that he's coming in -- Queen had all kinds of different-style songs on their records, and that's something that I like. 'Cause I do listen to a lot of things, and I really don't like being pigeonholed to that degree, and it's something that Guns N' Roses seem to share [with Queen] a bit. With "Appetite," even though it seems to have the same sound, if you really go back, you can pull all the little parts from different influences. That's not really the case by the time we're on "Use Your Illusion." People are kind of set in their ways. ["Chinese Democracy"] is coming from all over the place.
