Great Village Voice Article, on why everyone still loves GNR

Of course, anyone expecting Chinese Democracy to resurrect classic shit-kicking GNR will be disappointed.

yeah, honestly, I don?t like the leaks at all, humm maybe except There was a Time... as he says, it?s not that rock, it?s more of a pop or whatever... but that?s the difference between the old band and the new one, and we can?t form an opinion untill we have the CD in our hands... Overall, I liked the interview, except the part where he talks about the Illusions, that for me, are some of the best albums ever released... but, whatever!

If you don't like the leaks, that's one thing.  But not rock?  Er, what?  The only song with a pop vibe is Better, and it's still a rock song with some industrial influences.  IRS and Chinese Democracy are pure, hard rock songs.  TWAT, CITR and The Blues are all true blue rock ballads.  The only song that's not easy to categorize is Madagascar, because it's heavily driven by electronic effects

i think he is referring to the songs not being "Rock" in the sense that nightrain and it's so easy are pretty much pure rockers.

Well they might not be the bluesy rock like AFD, but it's still rock.  So the songs have electronic effects, that doesn't mean they're not rock.  Garden Of Eden had electronic effects, November Rain had electronic effects, I don't hear anyone claiming that those aren't rock songs

Lol I mean, of course they?re rock, but they are not as much rock as the old ones,... well at least thats my point of view...
