No... I don't think it will spark a new trend.
Old bands (even with new lineups) don't tend to do that...

Even if CD is the album of the year, I don't think it will spark some big change in the scene.

Look at grunge, nu-metal and pop-punk. They all began with new bands breaking big.  More often than not, it's actually the older bands that get a shot in the arm from a new scene (Neil Young with grunge being a good example).

Like what nu metal was to the early 00's or pop-punk/pop-rock/emo is now. Bring back a classic rock sound to the mainstream. Avenged Sevenfold is already contributing a bit and Wolfmother have potential to be huge.

We have not heard the record, so we cannot judge.

...but classic rock is never coming back. It's deader than Elvis.

As we all know punk band Green Day came back after a long layoff and hit big with American Idiot. To me the demos off of Chinese Democracy are ''Better'' than any song off the Green Day album, but yet their album swept all the awards. Will C.D. have as big of an impact on the mainstream? Why? or why not?

It'll have to appeal to young people emensily. The record company has to sell it like a crack dealer in downtown LA. Hopefully there is alot of crackheads around!!!!!!

I doubt it greatly; musical revolutions don't come from bands in their 40s. Green Day really just capitalized on an existing pop-punk craze more than introduced it, and the sounds of the new GN'R music aren't really trendy (not a knock at all, a compliment imo). Perhaps Avenged will change the scene some, but I any band will change their sound when they hear CD.

The songs are about loneliness and broken hearts, like all popular music is... they're good lyrics, but not too deep for people to understand.

Axl better never show up on TRL we don't need GNR that mainstream now but..... but Here in Detroit WRIF radio station is playing alot more GNR lately. They pulled ''Better'' but are playing Nightrain and etc...... And the thing I noticed is the D'J's are putting much more emphasis on their voices clearly when they announce that song was from GUNS NNNNN ROSES!!!!!!!! you know? They weren't doing that 3 months ago. So who knows, GNR is still big now for not having an album in 15 years but yes I saw a new wave of people at the concert at the Palace!

I don't think it would take much to improve on the current sorry state of rock. Aside from Green Day's 'American Idiot' in '04, there hasn't been much on rock radio to make you say "Wow". Of course, many bands pay radio stations to play their shit, and I don't think GN'R is the type to do that. It may take a little time, but hopefully the material on 'CD' will be played on the radio because it's quality music, and the people want to hear it.

It won't happen.  Axl is a rare breed in music.  He's a great songwriter, has a unique vocal skill set and has real rock cred.  Let's be honest, GNR's music isn't the only thing which draws us in as fans.  You can't teach or emulate what Axl does.  If bands tried to emulate real or classic rock in the name of GNR, or the like, the attempt would be viewed as veil and hollow.

No.

The problem is that unlike AFD--which did break the mold that existed at  that time--this album will be dated  when it is released due to the fact that some of the  songs are  at least 10 years old; and further, the kiss  of death, it is "sold" as sounding like Queen, Zeppelin, etc. ("Sold" being defined as comments by insiders to promote  the album before it is released.)

Truly classic, great bands have their own original  sound  and do not sound like anyone  else. That is why I think the album will have a relatively small splash in terms of longevity and will fade rather quickly.

I doubt it greatly; musical revolutions don't come from bands in their 40s.

If any band in their 40s released an album which sold 30 million copies worldwide, I think you'd see labels signing similar (albeit younger) bands in droves and pushing them as hard as they could. That's about as close as you'll come to a "musical revolution" these days. It's unlikely but plausible, age matters a lot less than gross returns. Sadly, anyone making a "comeback" in their mid-40s is going to be heralded as a "gross return" of a different sort.

Watching the Rock Am Ring and Inland Invasion vids, it's clear that GNR don't look or perform like a bunch of crusty old glam-rockers - and it's their music and their image more than their age that will decide their fate.

If this album sold more than 3 million world wide it would surpass my expectations.  The music industry has changed and none of the songs are that catchy or mind blowing to overcome all the bad press about axl and the fact that he's 45 years old.  Yeah you can play the album for non fanatics and they might like it, but i dont see any of them being blown away by it.  The rock trend that will be sparked is the trend that record labels will never give as much money for one album ever again to anyone.
