Guns N' Roses Now What Axl Wanted It To Be Says Former Member

10/11/2011
. (hennemusic) Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke was asked his opinion about the current version of his former band. Here is what he had to say:

"As it stands? Well, knowing Axl, and knowing Axl 20 years ago, and knowing what he wanted to do, I would assume that he's a happy guy," says the guitarist.

"This is, [from] what he explained to me, what he wanted the band to be. When we had our, what I call, a disagreement, he wanted to take the band in a new direction. He wanted to bring in lots of people and this is what he envisioned. I assume he is happy. Is it the kind of music that I enjoy? Some of it, some of it. I think it's creative and I think it's what music is supposed to be. It's supposed to be original and creative and I think it is all those things. It's just, to me, when I think of Guns N' Roses, it doesn't sound like Guns N' Roses to me. But as I say, if this was an Axl Rose album, it'd be fantastic, because it's good music. It is! I can't say it's not good music." more on this story
