Can Axl save rock n roll with chinese democracy??

[guns_n_motley]

Lets face it.. Axl rose is the biggest man in RNR.. hes the only guy that MTV will play and support in Rock...

you think axl could save rock?? or at least open doors for more hard rock bands to come in and kick emo off the scene??

[deanaxlrose]

I make this kinda thread a few months ago.
Yes, Guns N' Roses will turn the world of music scene.

[Dr. Blutarsky]

Certainly is hope he'll start things up again for rock that doesn't suck.

[Steel_Angel]

2 words: hellz yeah 

[KillKurtzKids]

Why would he possibly save rock n roll? How could could he? GNR will never make an album as important or influencial as AFD. What Axl Rose can do is make a very good album and prove himself to himself and that's all you can ask. I think it might even be better than AFD, but your very naive if you think it's possible this record will be as important, sucessful or well regarded in musical history. IT WILL NOT.


Save Rock N' Roll? What the fuck from? It's doing just fine.

[charlesfosterkane]

 i don't think rock music needs saving. ?i saw the raconteurs the other week and it seemed to me like rock music is doing all right for itself, axl or no.

[axlrose]

Axl Rose is the embodiment of Rock N Roll

[oneway23]

I think it's about a personal victory at this point...Brandishing someone as the "Saviour of Rock n' Roll" is a bit too dramatic.

[KillKurtzKids]

Exactly. I'd rather be my age in the times of The Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, White Stripes, Radiohead, Beck and Interpol than back in the day listening to Motley Crue, Poison, Faster Pussycat, Iron Maiden and Metallica!

Of course, aide from GN'R you'd be in Manchester listening to The Smiths and Stone Roses back then.

[jaypayton]

well 1st he has to release the damn album which still looks like its never gonna happen.....in 1992 GNR had a huge year and it still had ZERO affect on the fact that grunge music was the story that year and all anyone talked about was nirvana, pearl jam and alice in chains........and mike patton from faith no more said it best in 1991...."rock n roll is dead...good fucking riddance."

[JB9988]

FUCK YEA!!! ROOCK N ROLL IS ALL EMO SHIT NOW AND IT SUCKS!!!!!!

[nesquick]

Rock music doesn't need to be "saved". There are some good Rock bands around.
I think Chinese Democracy will be big and very successfull. But it don't think it will be as big and as influencial as AFD, Use Your Illusion, Nevermind, What's the Story Morning Glory, Dark side Of The Moon, Thriller, or Exile On Main Streets etc... It won't "change" the face of music for 2 reasons:
- The old band inheritence is too big. It's like fighting against a huge Mountain. They were too big.
- The new guys are not promoted. It's all about Axl. (let's face it). So the band as "a band" doesn't have enough recognizion/impact to go as far.

It might change once the record is out though... but be realistic: Yes it will be great, yes it will be big, I'm sure the record will be awesome, the new songs are great, but no it won't make a "revolution" or something. It's quite desillusional to think ChiDem will "change the world".
We never know though... hey... maybe it will! I would be the 1st one to be happy about that, lol.

rocknroll excist without gnr,but  Axl have to save a soul of rock and roll

[deanaxlrose]

I don't care if rock n roll being saved by GN'R or not.
as long I heard the GN'R music ?playing on the station, clips on TV, Axl in magazine covers every weeks,GN'R
T-shirt everywhere,and alot of people enjoyed the new music. I can live happily ever after.
and I believe it will happen.

[AxlReznor]

Nothing to save... with Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, Tool, Velvet Revolver, Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Panic Channel around, rock music is in safe hands.

BAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh my..god..thanks for the laugh,  dude, u fucking rock! best post of all time. 
im off.

[JB9988]

1. gnr is just not all about axl. Real fans go to thee guns n roses. the whole band not just axl. If you say the new band is all about axl then you are not a fan. you are an axl fan. Not a guns n roses fan. The new members fucking kick ass and guns always sells out shows even when everyone say they suck and it wont happen. ppl were saying it would happen with msg and it did its a fucking sold out show. bet you vr couldnt do that or any of the new rock bands today couldnt do that. People are not going to pay 100$ a ticket just to go see axl they would pay that much to see Guns N' Roses play a rock n roll concert!

2. velvet sucks and so so a7fold. tool has been around so has rhcp they wont make a cd like guns can though.

By danceable, and the fact they have Rick Rubin producing, read funky. ?There's gonna be more of a groove-based sound in the bass, reminiscent of Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Remember... it's Duff Mckagan who said it would be dancable. ?He said that Ten Minute Warning's album would be a dance album... I don't know if you've heard it, but it's pre-grunge seattle punk. ?Anything but dance.
