In a rare interview with Rolling Stone in 2006, Rose shed more light on his long awaited Chinese Democracy album. "We're working on 32 songs, and 26 are nearly done," he said in the interview. "People will hear music this year," he said. "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."
The irony here is "That is CLASSIC AXL" and "this is so Guns N' Roses" have been my two most common realizations while slowly taking this album in. Anybody else got a more informed take on this album yet they'd like to share?
