The long delayed Guns N' Roses album 'Chinese Democracy' is absolutely "mind-blowing, according to former Skid Row singer Sebastian Bach.
The album, which has been in the making since 1997, was played at a September party hosted by frontman Axl Rose - the only remaining original member - at his mansion in California.
Bach, who is opening for the legendary group on their current tour of North America, says, "It was mind-blowing. It's a very cool album - it's bada*s with killer screams, killer guitar riffs, but it's got a totally modern sound.
"The word for it is 'grand'. It's f**king epic. (Axl)'s reinvented himself yet again.
"There's this one song called 'Sorry,' that's almost like doom metal with Axl singing really clean over this grinding, slow beat that is f**king mean. I cannot get it out of my head."
'Chinese Democracy' is rumored to hit stores on November 21, although the band's manager Merck Mercuriadis has declined to confirm this.
He says, "I don't know that we will announce a release date. You might just walk into your record shop one Tuesday and find it there."
That was November 1993.
So they have been working on this album for 13 years, not nine.
There is no way this album could ever be good enough to live up to the hype, assuming it actually exists.
I think there was a song called "sweet child of My-eee-I-nnnnn." Grates on your nerves after a while.
Which is why the two of them should get together atain. They're depriving us of some great music.
Sweet Child O' Mine (the only GNR song I like)
Welcome to the Jungle (don't care for much)
Paradise City (which I hate)
It's not clear how many of those tracks are more than raw demos or how many of them would actually wind up on the album if it is ever officially released.
What's up with that .... ummmm ... hair of "his"?
Bad cornrows?
So, the album blows?
Put the needle down, dude.
Instead of going the hair transplant way such as other celebs (Ex: John Travolta, Sly Stallone, Matthew McConaughey, Wade Boggs), he's gone this weird urban style whig looking thing ... terrible move, Axl!
It looks like he has the flesh-colored chinstrap model.
Yep, if there's no Slash, it's not GnR, it's an Axl Rose solo album.
Yep, he did the same thing when I saw him with Body Count and Metallica in Denver. 3 songs and then he throws a fit about some monitor or amp giving feedback, throws down the mic after cursing the crew and walks out amidst boos and a rain of beer cups and trash.
knock knock knockin on heavens door?
you dont like that?
IMHO one of the top 10 rock tracks of all time. even live version.
i gonna buy the new album. somethin about guns n roses i like
I am waiting for Chris Daughtry's Album to comes out next month, which I hear is also mind blowing!
Speaking of that...check out Robin Williams' wierd new hairline. I don't think it was rehab he was hiding away at.
Welcome to the Jungle
And I can't even listen to that anymore without thinking of Sheryl Crow's crappy, dull, lifeless cover of it. Sheryl Crow, you SUCK.
I still love the rest of Appetite and GnR Lies, though - awesome albums.
