What do you consider to be evolution in music/in gnr?
Allowing the sound to vary. I don't think a creative musician can limit himself to one type of sound/music - in either their inspiration or the material they produce.
Do you consider AFD to the Illusions evolving?
Yes, very much so.
Do you want more than that type of jump from the Illusions to CD? Or are you expecting a complete musical transformation?
I like how Axl once said he's gonna take us along with him gradually. I also like what he once said about the musical styles of the album being like a melting pot.
Your thoughts... on what you are expecting from gnr in terms of sound and progression/evolution...
I'm expecting variety. I am expecting there to be very familiar sounds (like the Blues), also for there to be some that are more extremely different (like Silkworms), and I expect there will be those that have familiar elements enhanced with new elements (Madagascar / Chinese Democracy). Finally, I expect there will be some elements that are unlike any of what we have yet to hear from GN'R.
