Slash says Axl is "brilliant"
11 July 2005, 10:19 PM
Former Guns n Roses guitarist Slash told UK Channel 4's "Planet Sound" that he believed Chinese Democracy, the long delayed Guns n Roses album, should be "brilliant".
Speaking fairly candidly on the subject Slash said "I know nothing (about Chinese Democracy)" before adding "No record is worth waiting 10 years for but I'll say this: anything Axl does is brilliant in one way or another and I'm sure his new record will be no different".
Chinese Democracy is currently slated for release in the 4th Quarter 2005.

GN'R without Slash is like the Rolling Stones without keith Richards. Slash must be back on lead.
Axl + Slash = magic.

FYI, someone posted this at VR's official forum. I couldn't find the Channel 4 Teletext for this interview, but the poster at VR's forum might point it out.
In other words, it didn't just come from Sp1at

That doesnt suprise me, js because Slash has personal gripes against Axl doesnt meant he doesnt think the guys talented. Slash wouldnt have worked with Axl for all those yrs if he didnt.

You'll see, when the new GN'R tour starts, at EVERY concert there will be messages for Axl about Slash: "Axl call slash" etc... or people in the audience asking for Slash return... I hope Axl has solid nerves because it may be a non-stop demand.
The more the times pasts, the more people want Slash back.

I doubt it. The people at the next tour will be there because they enjoy CD and want to see those songs being played in a live fashion. SOngs in which SLash or any other old member have nothing to do with.

I'm sure Axl and Slash can make their own magic with others. It is what is beautiful about art.

You can't keep your damn opinions away for one post can you? Just accept what Slash has said. He hasn't heard anything recently, but I'm sure he's heard tracks that Axl was once working on. He has NO reason to lie. Just grow up. Please.

The majority of the people will be at the show because of the name alone. They may enjoy the new material, but the new GNR ?will definetly play old GNR hits(with Slash). ?People identify GNR as 2 people- Axl and Slash. ?As long (and if) GNR tours again, Slash will always be brought up, and theirs nothing Axl can do about it. ?

Slash has always been generous in his praise of Axls talents...
It will be with a sense of meloncholy that CD will be released - even though we'll all be jubilant that it has finally been released, surely most of us will be a little sad that Axl has finally made the split with the originals official?

Jimmy, great point. The reason Axl is always linked with 'old' GNR is because he never does anything on his own. Whenever fans see a GNR video, hear a song on the radio, see a GNR poster, etc., its always the old band. 'New' GNR does not have its own identity. The only way Axl can cut the umbilical cord to 'old' GNR is to release the album. Period.

exactly James - the release of CD is the only thing that forges a distinction between old and new, and as exciting as all that is, it's still essentially the final nail in the coffin of the greatest American rock band that ever was

Where did I say he is blowin smoke? I just find it odd that 1 day hes talking like he knows the situation and another day he says he knows nothing. Which 1 is it? Its the same pattern with the old members. They keep goin back n forth.
I know he has nothing really bad to say about Axls talents. They both have respect for each other.

People will be at that show because of CD. They will know who is in the band and what they play. Alhtough Im sure they might play some of the hits like WTTJ,SCOM and PC I doubt they will play all the others like they did in 2002. Axl said on tour that he wanted to give the fans one last chance to hear the old songs.
If you think the members of this band will go out and do 2002 all over agian instead of playing the album they busted their asses for then your nuts.
WHen/If Axl moves on witht he 2nd era of gnr then Slash will slowly leave the picture. Not that people will forget him but people will realize that its over and that its abot new gnr now. When CD drops, it will attract NEW fans who dont know much about the history of gnr or just dont care. WHat they care about is the new band and Fincks solo's and Brains drumming and tommys baselines. and Buckets Shredding??

Well we all know life is too short. ?And they had more good come out of the relationships they had than bad. ?They had something special together that they have all been searching for since.
They will all be in their 40's now when Slash gets there this summer. ?It's inevitable that they will eventually make up, but i would hope it was sooner rather than later.
Axl could still release CD under his own name. ?It would still be huge, people love him. ?But then get to work on a Classic line up GNR record. ?Get out of that perfectionist zone that seems to hold his work back. ?
But hey i can't question the man, he only does what he wants anyway lol i just hope we do get to hear him soon. ?
PS It was a nice compliment from Slash. Don't taint it, just accept it as a nice comment lol.

Slash will never leave the picture. ?He may be Axl's equal on the poularity chart (maybe more) and will ALWAYS ?be one of the first things ppl will remember when hearing the name of GNR. ?How many ppl know who Richard,Tommy, or the Brain are? ?Nobody will care about them till they prove themselves worthy of the GNR name. ?

Jimmy, interesting that you use the 'nail in the coffin' line. Sometimes I wonder if this is one of the reasons for no new album after all these years. Basically, a new album completely changes everything to do with GNR. The band will never be looked at in the same light again, regardless of how good or bad CD is. Axl is taking a HUGE risk, and he knows it. 'Old' GNR turned into a strange enigma, 'the Led Zeppelin that never was'. GNR had unlimited potential, and everyone knew it, but it blew up in their faces. With all this time that has elapsed, it created a 'coolness' factor to 'old' GNR. If this 'enigma' is shattered, Axl will not only destroy his current career, but risks a future disinterest in the old band and a major loss of money in back catalogue sales.

True.. ?When GNR is mentioned outside of this world, it's the old. ?Axl has to get these guys out there to be recognized with the GNR name and as a band in the here and now.
BTW - I think it's great that Slash had some nice things to say
? a little knock about the timeframe but that's to be expected.
