More quotes from the same interview,


Loder: This "End of Days" track, "Oh My God," is real, real different. Have you been listening to [or] working with samples and stuff a lot? Has your whole musical approach changed?

Rose: No, not a lot, no...
...So once it was really understood by me that I'm really not going to be able to make the right old-style Guns N' Roses record, and if I try to take into consideration what Guns did on "Appetite," which was to kind of be a melting pot of a lot things that were going on, plus use past influences, I could make the right record if I used my influences from what I've been listening to that everybody else is listening to out there. So in that sense, I think it is like old Guns N' Roses as far as, like, the spirit and the attempt to throw all kinds of different styles together. ...

Loder: People that hear "Oh My God," they might say that, "Gee, the new Guns is all this sound," but I think that what you're saying is that it's a bunch of different kinds of sounds.

Rose: It's a lot of different sounds. There's some other really heavy songs, there's a lot of aggressive songs, but they're all in different styles and different sounds. It is truly a melting pot.
I go back to listening to Queen -- you know, we're still hoping to have Brian May come in and do some tracks, and I got a fax today that he's coming in -- Queen had all kinds of different-style songs on their records, and that's something that I like. 'Cause I do listen to a lot of things, and I really don't like being pigeonholed to that degree, and it's something that Guns N' Roses seem to share [with Queen] a bit. With "Appetite," even though it seems to have the same sound, if you really go back, you can pull all the little parts from different influences. That's not really the case by the time we're on "Use Your Illusion." People are kind of set in their ways. ["Chinese Democracy"] is coming from all over the place.


Guns N Roses is an emo, industrial, techno, hip-hop, Goth, blues, funk, soul, punk, doom metal thrash metal, pop, progressive, country, psychedelic, classic and alternative, soft and hard rock. (+whatever genres I'm missing)

Even if it's not anytime soon I really hope that he's going to keep with this plan and put all these albums out. He's definitely picked up the NIN vibe very well, I'd like to see how he has taken that sound further. Hopefully, in time.

He's definitely able to put these styles together very well. I really do think it's going to make an impact when this album comes out. I'm not saying anything on a scale like "Nevermind", but in terms to people's approach to music, what they've heard, there's definitely nothing like it, especially in the current scene.
