Slash is more about the "rock" thing, and Axl is more about indulging in his newfound industrial fascination. Making electronic music is not pushing the envelope, and I dont think Axl has ever said anything about "pushing the envelope". Just another fanboy cop-out, Im afraid.
I see you brought up the same old lame shit again too. Just because Axl likes nin or white zombie doesnt mean the next gnr record will be an industrial/techno album. Once again you bring out a cd misconception.
Ill bring it up once again.Quote from one of rocks greatest guitarists...
"If Axl is trying to make a perfect record, he isnt too far off." He has also said " I had a great time playing, and interacting with the guys, and I was hugely impressed wihth the material they'd already put down...But I'm damn sure it will be worth waiting for!"
Last time I checked Brian MAy wasnt in the techno genre. or could give 2 shits about techno/electronic/rap/rap metal music.
It has also been said that CD will sound more like AFD than people think.
The reason I keep bringing these quotes up is because u keep bringing up the same old" Axl is on a techno craze" bullshit. When it definately isnt the case.
Will CD have industrial elements. Im sure it will. BUt im also sure it will have rock elements,punk elements and a bunch of other elements. Im also sure it will blend in a very special gnr way.
So stop saying that CD will be a certain type of album, when you truly have no clue. And im not saying I do but what i do have are credible quotes from people who have actually heard the material. I also have CD,rhiad, maddy, and the blues all of which are not the heavily electronica songs you are insuating the album will be.
Yeah, I'm sure the five of them sat down at each AFD rehearsal and pondered for hours, "Okay fellas, how can we push the envelope now?"
No, they had a vast majority of influences that drove their creativity. The product of those inspirations produced a different type of sound and direction. Hence the illusions. Same goes for CD. JUst Slash decided he wanted to get back to his roots instead of continually expanding.
Actually theres plenty of Snakepit songs that could musically stand alongside Guns' stuff. Theres a few that stand alongside as is.
