Sweet Child O’ Mine!

Posted by on January 25 at 10:52 AM

Axl Rose has once again broken a silence. The quick rundown: yes, he’s still “working on a new record”; yes, a G’n’R reunion is still pretty unlikely; and yes, he still has those ugly-ass cornrows

but the kid has some dope throwbacks in the closet?

This just makes me sad. Like Van Halen before, GnR imploded under the weight of huge egos and infighting. While they carry on in some sort of damaged fashion, the chemistry that made them great has been destroyed, and I don't think it can ever be brought back. Too bad, 'cause back in the day, they sure rocked.

The guy wrote one of the best lyrics ever, that so perfectly sums up the excesses of rock 'n' roll. From "Nightrain": "Wake up late, honey put on your clothes, and take your credit card to the liquor store." Genius. Axl's comment in this interview about some of the new stuff sounding like Queen makes me cringe. It makes me think of that stupid shit he did with an orchestra, like "November Rain." God that sucked.

But hey, he's reading Phillip K. Dick! And Rolling Stone says this is "arguably the most anticipated album in rock & roll history"!

After seeing the last sad dregs of GnR at the Tacoma Dome a couple years back, I have to side with the cynics here. I do not have high hopes....

And Rolling Stone says this is "arguably the most anticipated album in rock & roll history"!

I've lost track. How many albums has RS tagged with that phrase?
