pick and album you'd like to see cd similar to...

[Doc Emmett Brown]

the Jet Album, plus a dash of Queen of the Stone Age

Good choices.? ?

Great examples of the "less is more" approach to rock music.

You want Axl to blatantly steal an Iggy pop riff and put some boy-chases-girl lyrics over it?? ? Jet should aspire to AFD, not the other way around.

dark side of the moon

that would be very cool.? It is also a focused, relevant, respected album.?

[AxlFink]

the wall from pink floyd and
led zep physical graffiti

and i think someone that worked with gnr at some point on CD made a similar comparison

I said nothing about a specific song to aspire to, but playing along, I'd be more than happy if Axl came halfway close to the brilliiant simplicity both lyrically and musically of Jet's "Rollover DJ".? Making fun of record spinners that try to pass themselves off as musicians is not only a slam to the "pill popping jukeboxes" themselves but an idictment on how a played out subculture defines an "artist".

[MadmanDan]

I thought everyone wanted CD to sound like nothing ever released.

It's just a game.. With all the awesome albums out  over the years someone might have an idea of what they'd like to hear..

I sure as hell don't want november rain times 7, or industrial crap..

I think some have that hope/delusion.

More like a delusion? at least thats what I think. But with the length of time it's taken to record this album it sure as hell better be at least a little bit innovative. I definately don't want it to sound like any of the new music out there (perfect circle excepted) a throwback to late 80's rock & roll would be nice.

I'm sorry I don't want Guns to sound like NIN or Nirvana or Led Zep of Floyd or Jet or anything. I want guns to sound like guns. If I wanted to hear some of the other bands that have been mentioned I would be on their message boards not this one.

You are creating an elaborate sophistication out of the song's simplicity, in fact you make Jet sound like Radiohead without the dour lyrics, dour sound, dour everything.? ?Morever, for a young band like them, it's okay to have a bunch of songs that poke good-natured fun at culture, do the retro rock thing, and swagger about in a bland sort of way.? But for an older band, it would be a disgrace. Especially a band that hangs on to a name that inspires much greater memories, controversy, and aggression.? I like Jet, but even their indictments of culture are bland.? It's not much of an indictment if it isnt pissing anyone off.? 'Less is more' should still have balls, and for the older-GNR to be respected, the album needs to simulataneously exhibit maturity and aggression.

[gnrvrrule]

I honestly do not want it to sound like any other album.  I want this album to have a Gn'r classic sound, but have new elements (excluding techno) that make it sound like no other band.  And I have a feeling that's exactly what Axl is doing right now, at least I hope.

No, just elaborating on a current bands lack of musical self importance and their intelligent manner of voicing their disgust.  A bit smarter than "Get In The Ring", don't you think?

Not to incite any comparision thread, but isn't that what the former members of GNR are doing at the present time in their current band?

[F*ck Fear]

I want a mix of:
AFD
Lies
UYI 1&2
Oh My God
Plus whatever the other guys that work/worked on the project, brought to it.

[Butch Français]

any album by Primus.... .....man, people around here would snap like twigs!

[SINSHINE]

aerosmith a mix of get your wings and toys in the attic?

Funny, I was thinking something similar. Only I was thinking of some of the more obscure Aerosmith songs in general rather than an album. How 'bout an album that sounded like these mashed together with a heaping helping of Uncle Axl:

Adams Apple
Combination
S.O.S. (too bad)
Nobody's Fault
Rats in the Cellar
You See Me Crying
Seasons of Wither
Lick & a Promise
Round & Round

[Fretzo]

Oasis - Definetly Maybe

A good CD but still very cool and raw compared to what was about to come from Oasis.

P.S.
I don't actually think that Axl can make a cool little rock album with a 7 piece band plus his piano. We'll probably end up with something similiar to Phil Spector's Wall of Sound.

[Scabbie]

What awful choices....i hope CD sounds nothing like any of those albums!

The style Axl has chosen for the new songs we have already heard is perfect - so whatever album sounds like those.

Who said anything about CD sounding like 'any of those albums'? My point (Physical Graffiti), was about that you could still tell it was Lez Zepplin, yet diffrent from the other albums and sound.

I will cry    if Chinese Democracy sounds anything like Oasis.

[Metallifuck]

St Anger

[DEAD HORSE]

something from Jazz from Queen to The Fragile From Nine Inch Nails , would sound terrific! I like The new sound , the new power , the new feeling Guns N' Roses have so no problems here ,tho.

i know most of u hate em but linkin park has some awesome music

linkin park style music with guitar solo's and axl's lyrics and little touches

[Mr. Thuna]

I would like to see it sound like Fitlers album called "Title of record". I love that album

[mikegiuliana]

i know most of u hate em but linkin park has some awesome music

linkin park style music with guitar solo's and axl's lyrics and little touches

They've also put out some terrible music.. It wouldn't suprise me though if axl was a big fan of linkin park..

I could never get into linkin park because of the singing with rapping, two singers isn't my thing.. The new song breaking the habit sucks..
