Chinese Democracy - Concept Album?

[Albert S Miller]

id say your thinking too much......

which of the new songs do you think relates to the "old members"?

most of them could actually.
as far as it being a concept album, the only concept will be to put the best songs on the album(s) in a complimentary fashion...I think.

I specifically think The Blues is about Slash.  TWAT about Stephanie Seymour.  Madagascar about Axl's isolation from the public.  IRS about his lawsuits.  Message For You partly about the drama of getting CD completed.  Then you have songs like Rhiad, Chinese Democracy, and Shacklers which are less autobiographical.  Just my guesses anyway.

I would say that is a fair perception. Time will tell!!

In the words of the Baz

Well, Ive heard the six tracks that were leaked, and they're amazing

Bach: But those arent the final versions. he laughed about those. those arent the record. those are some other version of whatever. One of my favorite songs - I asked axl if I could mention the song titles and he said "fine"--and one of my favorite songs is this song called "the general" which is so, its by far the heaviest metal tune I think ive ever heard axl do, this slow grinding riff with these high peircing vocals, screaming vocals. I was like , when is this coming out? and he said "2012" I was like dude, your killin me! He goes, "well this comes out on the third record. it relates to this song, its a trilogy, this goes with this lyrically." hes got it all figured out, hes just different than other people. he does thingso n his own time, in his own way, but you know...the worlds not prepared for what ive heard from this guy. its got the grandness and the epic-ness of november rain but with the snarl, the attitude of appetite. because the album that ive heard, alot of the drumming is by brain, who plays so heavy and mean. its a really...grand is the word for it, but its still got that attitude. Theres some great music comin' your way. My album meanwhile is 100 percent comin out on november 20. thats 100 percentile. its done, its mastered, ive got it on my fucking ipod and its ready to go.

It will be intresting to hear what tracks Frank and Ron played on the entire album.

[PJ]

ron plays in every CD song..
he have said it in a few interviews...

i dont know frank... but im almost sure he will be in the final version of if the world

All the songs in a concept album must have a mutual theme, like "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" and "Division Bell". The songs we know so far doesn't share the same theme.

But, of course, my dream is that CD will feature 13 songs we've never heard of! 

[PJ]

it could be a vague theme or a plot..
representing every chapter with dif song..
like Marilyn Manson... and the concept trilogy he created (Hollywood, Mechanical Animals and Antichrist Superstar), the songs dont relate lirically.. but in the whole concept, the whole theme.. they add something to the plot and connect each other

[alejoyp]

I think it'll be a collection of songs but most of the songs are inspired by his relationship with Stephanie (TWAT, MFY, Oklahoma...). BTW, The Blues is about Dylan, Stephanie's son... he said that back in time...

[PJ]

nope
he said THIS I LOVE was about dylan

[russkwtx]

How about this as a concept: "put the album in stores so people can buy it?"

[alejoyp]

nope
he said THIS I LOVE was about dylan

He said The Blues, n' this appeared in Rolling STone magazine... read the lyrics...

I think IRS is about the fans that think Axl owe them something.

I REALLY hope not. that song has, like many of them, Brain's signature written all over it!

[PJ]

yeah i know..
of all the leaks we have heard..
thats the most brain-esque

for me its really a shame that they deleted brain stuff for franks
because i dont like frank style at all
