Blabbermouth reports: GUNS N' ROSES frontman
Axl Rose spoke to a Rolling Stone reporter at KORN's tour announcement
bash at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in the early hours of Saturday morning
(Jan. 14). The following are several excerpts from the article, which can
be read in its entirety at RollingStone.com:
On the long-awaited new GUNS N' ROSES album
"Chinese Democracy":
"It's a very complex record. I'm trying
to do something different. Some of the arrangements are kind of like QUEEN.
Some people are going to say, 'It doesn't sound like Axl Rose, it doesn't
sound like GUNS N' ROSES.' But you'll like at least a few songs on there."
"We're working on thirty-two songs, and
twenty-six are nearly done," he says. Of those, thirteen are slated for
the final album. Among Rose's favorites are "Better", "There Was a Time"
and "The Blues". [Axl Told RS "People will hear music this year" see full
