Axl Rose Speaks About Chinese Democracy

Jonah Flicker reports:
If you've been holding your breath for Chinese Democracy, the Guns N' Roses album that's purportedly been in the making for close to a decade, well...slowly start exhaling, but don't let that royal blue leave your cheeks just yet.

You see, Axl Rose was hanging out at a Korn tour-announcement party at the famous Hollywood Forever Cemetery last weekend, and in between chatting up nu-metal mooks he found some time to speak to a Rollingstone.com reporter about the record. The results, while not quite as revealing as we'd like them to be, do inspire some hope that the album might actually see the light of day by the year 2016.

Giving Jared Leto's character from Panic Room a run for his money in the "white guy with corn rows" department and rocking a goatee and Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, Rose rubbed elbows with celebrities like Jessica Alba, members of Papa Roach, Linkin Park, and "The O.C." cast (as well as the graves of Rudolph Valentino, Cecil B. DeMille, and Johnny and Dee Dee Ramone).

According to Rollingstone.com, Rose described Chinese Democracy as "a very complex record." "I'm trying to do something different. Some of the arrangements are kind of like Queen. Some people are going to say, 'It doesn't sound like Axl Rose, it doesn't sound like Guns n' Roses.'" Let's also hope it doesn't sound like "Oh My God", the G'N'R song that appeared in the Schwarzenegger movie End of Days.

"We're working on 32 songs, and 26 are nearly done," said Rose. He also dropped some to-the-point song titles that will supposedly make the final record, including "Better", "There Was a Time", and "The Blues". But don't expect any touring with the original line-up of the band, assuming of course that the album actually is released before Rose bloats and/or changes his sexy and youthful hairstyle, as he claims to not have spoken to Slash in a decade. But he did have this to say about Mr. Snakepit: "I love the guy, I always wanted everyone to know how great he was, but.... I was just talking to Izzy the other day though." Way to dodge the issue, dude.

Still, don't get your hopes up. As recent history has shown us, Rose has more of a knack for firing producers, not showing up at concerts that subsequently cause violent riots, milking millions from major labels to perfect his art, retooling the line-up of the new G'N'R, and canceling tours than he does for releasing Chinese Democracy.
