Chinese Democracy
Chinese Democracy!
Ok, so China is still communistic and Guns N’ Roses newest album still hasn’t come out, but… songs are floating out there and 107.7 the Bone even played the track “IRS”. Not a bad track, seemed to have a little of the good old Appetite for Destruction aggression.
Now does Axl Rose qualify as the most obsessive / compulsive person the music industry? After Appetite for Destruction, it takes them four years to come out with Use Your Illusion, most likely because he's trying to make an epic out of every song.
Then, he drives everyone out of band, because its impossible to get anything done with the guy, and takes 10 years to (hopefully) put out his next album. Look, we appreciate what you're trying to do - your desire for perfection leads to stuff like November Rain, but really, its cool, you don't need to be perfect. Most of us will like some of your songs even if they aren't technically perfect, and some of us will strongly dislike song of your songs that are technically perfect.
Anyway, a quick take on a few of the songs I got to check out. I don't know which of these will make the final cut.
Better - a definite hit. Industrial, yet classic rock feel.
Dust in the wind - pretty cool song. An Axl Rose ballad special.
Shadow of your love - pretty cool. Sounds like something you would find on Appetite for Destruction.
There was a time - I only heard the instrumental. Its kinda both industrial and electronica. Pretty cool Megadeth-like riff.
Supposedly Chinese Democracy will be in a couple months.
