TWO composers add strings...

[Izzy]

7 tracks with orchestral parts? It sounds intresting, but maybe 7 is too many....the album won't have more than 12 tracks after all - but if anyone can pull off a rock album loaded up with orchestral parts its Guns N Roses as November Rain is living testament to.

[horsey]

i can't fuckin wait any longer '
it's going to be awesome ,yeah it sounds good to me.different things together is a neat thing.not like anyone else.just like axl.

[jimmythegent]

Seven sounds alot, but i guess it depends on the length of songs . I hope its not overdone, but i expected there would be alot of epics, I just hope they're dark and interesting epics with plenty of guitar

Also, it's probably been discussed before - what is the maximum length of a single CD these days? Perhaps a double album is on the cards??

'Less is More' is something Axl doesn't seems to think about.
Intercourse.

how the hell does anyone know what Axl's thinkin' 

man, for all we know, some of the string work could be for anything, even a little intro or a fill in.
Doesnt really mean the whole albums gonna be full of it

We don't know how many songs the album has, we don't know which of these 7 songs are going to be on it, we don't know if they will use the arrengements in the version of the songs that make in the album.

axl on the album sound(99):

 The record will be about, anywhere from 16 to 18 songs, but we recorded at least two albums' worth of material that is solidly recorded. But we are working on a lot more songs than that at the same time... in that way, what we're doing is exploring so, you know, you get a good idea, you save it, and then maybe you come back to it later, or maybe you get a good idea and you go, "That's really cool, but that's not what we're looking for. Okay, let's try something new." You know, basically taking the advance money for the record and actually spending it on the record.

So we have material that we think is too advanced for old Guns fans to hear right now and they would completely hate, because we were exploring the use of computers [along with] everybody really playing their ass off and combining that, but trying to push the envelope a bit. It's like, "Hmm, I have to push the envelope a little too far. We'll wait on that." So we got a list of things.


Rose on playin guitar: It's all right. I just wanted to be good enough to be able to contribute what was needed to this main album. It took working on the majority of these things and at least the couple albums' [worth] of material to figure out what should be on the first official Guns album. I wouldn't say it's like, you know, that we recorded a double album, or that we have all of our scraps to be the second one. There is a distinct difference in sound. The second leans probably a little more to aggressive electronica with full guitars, where the first one is definitely more guitar-based.

 There will be elements of blues-based things on the new Guns record. It's a very diverse record. There's a lot of hip-hop beats, there's straight-ahead rock.


and now we have the classical input

We don't know how many songs the album has, we don't know which of these 7 songs are going to be on it, we don't know if they will use the arrengements in the version of the songs that make in the album.

And we don't know if we'll like it...

[Mr. Nik™]

Axl and the other guys (with add of some co-workers) are building the way to a NEW Rock.... it will be huge, amazing, and fuckin' great   

[GNROSAS]

The best thing is to stop being over excited. Just expect a good album. when we will hear it we will judge. It is nothing worse to have high expectations and then feel slightly dissapointment. It  is better to have low, medium expectations and then when we will hear it it will give as a kick in the ass.
I expect a good solid record. If it ends up to be a masterpiece then i will be the happiest Bunny.
