GN'R: 'Chinese Democracy' To Be Bluegrass?

A source close to the band Guns N' Roses have told the TheSpoof.com that the new Guns N' Roses album "Chinese Democracy" will be in fact a bluegrass album.

"This is shocking," says fan Billy Walters. "I can't believe GN'R would do that kind of album, it will be a real disappointment to a lot of long time fans."

While calls to Guns N' Roses management have not been returned,and the bands label has only said "No comment."

It has been rumored that Guns N' Roses only remaining original member vocalist W. Axl Rose has gone crazy, at least that is what one fan thinks. "I don't know what is wrong with Axl these days," says Lisa Thornsbear, "but releasing a bluegrass album is just crazy."

hmm interesting, to me GnR no longer exsists, the band's name is more like "Axl Rose"

[slann101]

GNR = VELVET REVOLVER

[flambe chicken]

I hope everyone realises that thespoof is a bullsh*t website - click the link!

[leper_affinity]

how the **** did this make it on the website?

I suppose UG couldn't have a day where there wasn't an Axl Rose story...

[OzZY-RuLE5!!!!!]

spoof.com. sounds like someone has too much time on their hand. i highly doubt it's a bluegrass album.

[atc228]

wasn't there already a leak of a few songs? and they definitely weren't blue grass.

[tim311mahoney]

its a joke people... don't worry, i'm sure a crappy new GNR record will become available one of these days.

[frankv]

If this were true I'd laugh so hard I'd spit out my loungs.

[IlikeMetal]

WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ON HERE! TheSpoof.com is a fake/satire news site. Come on UG, why does shit like this keep on getting posted?

[Garf72]

hahahaha 'A source close to the band Guns N' Roses have told the TheSpoof.com...'
i'm sorry, but c'mon

[Shabalaba]

Isnt this a spoof .....

Which is more sad... This article, or the fact that i'm not surprised at UG for this one???

If you were trying to joke their fans around.
You shouldnt of cited the source...

[sowhat360]

i can't believe they put this on here.....on a side note, i have the chinese democracy album and it blows VR out of the water....much better musicianship and much more rich material....axl is a prick but he does put together good music and i've seen the new GNR in concert and VR in concert. there is not even a comparison in the ability of the 2 bands.....i was blown away by the new GNR and not all that impressed by VR

And by the way, what the hell is a bluegrass album?

[Jondy]

Ok noone really fell for this right? I mean it's a pretty blatent joke right?

That aside, it would suprise me at this point if he released as a bluegrass album, it would just suprise me that omg he actually released it.

[zartists.net]

Not suprising since Axl is a hick, and bluegrass is hick music.

Bluesgrass is a music style. Just youtube it !

[slash_chord]

WHAT is a BLUGRASS ALBUM??

[duncang]

I very much doubt that this is true, as several songs have leaked (some of which are meant to be on the album), and they weren't bluegrass. I also very much doubt that Axl would keep that sort of secret for so long, because all he would be doing is massively letting down fans looking for another Guns N Roses rock album.

bluegrass wow...i guess david lee roth joined the band

[False_God]

Thats lies anyway.

Bluegrass is "In bluegrass, as in jazz, each instrument takes a turn playing the melody and improvising around it, while the others revert to backing; this is in contrast to old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together or one instrument carries the lead throughout while the others provide accompaniment. Bluegrass is distinctively acoustic, rarely using electrical instruments."

from wiki.

not everybody enjoys the sound of banjos.
including myself.

if you guys still dont know what bluegrass is,

just look up the beverly hillbillies

Yo're really still out there?:P

wtf when did gnr turn bluegrass? xD

[daguitar69]

guys **** the bluegrass!!
we're talking about gn'r...
i think that we have to kidnap axl and force him to have a reunion with the old group...

[Savage Animal]

its sad that people dont even know what bluegrass is when theyre on a guitar site...

[daguitar69]

Yo're really still out there?:P

oh yeah

[Les Paul Ell]

Imagine generic "Banjo music", that's close enough to Bluegrass. Do a youtube search for "Bluegrass David Lee Roth Jump". Personally, if Chinese Democracy was to be bluegrass i'd buy it! I'm not gonna buy it though as it's gonna suck from what I've heard so far.

this is obviously the result of a slow news day. either way, who cares about the artists formerly known as gnr anymore? the real gnr died a long time ago. chinese democracy will be a zombie perversion.

HA!!, I just read this on THESPOOF.COM, just to give you an idea of what they post:

Detroit, MI - In a catastrophe that has no modern day equal, the city of Detroit fell victim to what has been called 'a modern day urban obliteration' by local church, and civic leaders.

The blame has been placed upon actress, commentary, and political activist, Rosie O'Donnell, who in a fit of unsuppressed hunger devoured most of the city in a 4 hour eating binge. Police have reviewed security camera footage that clearly shows Ms. O'Donnell naked and shoving the city into her mouth piece by piece.

[GuitarJunkie]

1. This is not true, songs have already been leaked from the album and they are not bluegrass songs

2. Even if it is, it does not matter...Because the album will not come out ever anyway.


I think im gonna start a group about banning Chinese democracy articles from this website on the basis of their pure stupidity

'Guns N Roses' haven't told anyone anything for years becuase they broke up years ago. What you see now is a joke, and China probably will be democratic before this album actually sees the clear blue sky... And who cares anymore?

[no1flyhalf]

j/w but has anyone here ever actually listened to or seen a bluegrass band? i saw ricky skaggs (a well-known (in the bluegrass world) player) and it blew me away. the vocals sometimes can get annoying, but when one actually looks at the talent that each one of the musicians in the band has, one will be very impressed. i was suprised to see no drummer on stage when i thought i could clearly hear it. but yeah, if you get the chance to, go see a bluegrass band. dont judge before then.

The album does exist....and it is all rock.

They played in KROCK 106.1, in LA, about 4 or 5 months ago....3 or 4 songs. Sounded like good old, standard GnR.

Also, I cannot beelive how many people dont know that Bluegrass is a genre of music. Isnt this a guitar forum? For the people who dont know, you are ignorant, and why ask the question of "What is Bluegrass?", when google.com is a click away? I hope none of you young morons every apply for a job.

This is plain stupid. I have heard the majority of the songs leaked, and they are in no way bluegrass. Also, no one cares if a fan said that Axl has gone crazy. They don't even mention who is "close" to Guns.

[MACDIZZLE]

GnR was once truly a great band but that sound will never be acheived again without the original members, this new lineup is basically Axl Rose trying to relive his own past and the fact that he kept us waiting for 10 years for chinese democracy and then anounces its a shitty ass blue grass album just proves that axl is a joke and a ****in discrace to metal, not sayin anything bout his musical talents but hes not a god and never will be

[kirkadolph]

Yeah..i'm just gonna quit clicking on all News things that mention anything about Chinese Democracy.

Makes me sick..

Bullshit.

That is all to be said. Axl isn't that idiot. He knows nobody will buy a GNR bluegrass album.

Just when you think the majority of the UG community couldn't possibly be any dumber, you come on here and see people still commenting thinking this is real. Seriously, READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE BEFORE YOU POST! Maybe then, you'd have realized the "story" came from a fake/satire news site.

Blue Grass first of all is just a type of music, who cares what type of music axl wants to put up.
GnR is great, but VR is starting to look pretty sweet, if u havent listened to them, listen to their stuff before commenting about it

1. It's not a bluegrass album, jeezey pete some people are so stupid.
2. GNR are not metal.

[jxmxaxn]

wow and someone actually already posted that link. what are the odds lol

[FiveStarMotel]

[Hamham272]

The IQ levels of this site have dropped below 80... do any of you kids know what a spoof is?

[llllllA7Xllllll]

wtf

[GeekStinkBreath]

You got worked up over this? Seriously guys?

Wow.

[masterohumans]

to be honest i beleived it at first lol. I guess i have so little faith in axl now otherwise i would have got it

[Knotism]

What is a bluegrass album?

[jthm_guitarist]

Man UG, your forums are full of spammers and your news is consistently stupid/fake...

[METALLIVES_91]

Its amazing to see the amount of morons who believe this shit.

[SlashWannabe1]

Velvet Revolvers SLITHER topped anything new GNR put out and kills any of New GNRs live SHIT. SLITHER went #1. Bumblefoot deserves to die for ****ing slash's solos up and for having that heanious name.

[CapnKickass]

http://www.thespoof.com/news/spoof.cfm?headline=s2i30966 i thought this one was pretty funny

[jcooper03]

ok... lots to say... first, people really dont know what bluegrass is? wtf? second, its obviously a prank which i figured out the first 2 secs of reading it bc its from a website called spoof.com. so also people dont know what a spoof is. wtf? third, just because people are p###ed off bc the album isnt coming out, it doesnt mean u say stupid stuff like axl sucks. he may be a little crazy but the man is a great song writer and has put out some great stuff.

velvet revolver does not = gnr, bc it is missing axl and izzy (screw gilby he didnt write anything with them) who are both great song writers... much better than scott weiland.

and lastly, slash is an amazing guitarist bc he doesnt just rely on technical stuff like buckethead and bumblefoot. technically they are prob better and faster and all that stuff, but thats only a small part of playing guitar. slash knows melody, he knows soul, and he knows dynamics. that said, he isnt as good a song writer without axl. and im about the biggest slash fan there is, its just i understand reality.

oh and one more thing, those of u that say the old gnr suck... well just whatever u prob think that playing as loud and as fast as u can for 4 minutes is the only way to rock out. i guarantee even todays death metal bands give props to guns n roses as one of the best rock bands of all time.

[TheRealJerrbear]

I can't believe this is posted on this site.I am the one who wrote this "news story" on The Spoof.com,this "news" was meant as a joke.TheSpoof.com is just all joke news,don't take it seriously.

[the_extremist00]

hmm well, axl has no songwriting and musician skill to write that kind of music so i kinda doubt it

anyway, the band is long gone now, velvet revolver is awesome and axl should just let it go in peace =)

[TheRealJerrbear]

as it says on TheSpoof.com site right under the "news item" "The story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious."

+1000

axl rose is just really ego driven, he doesnt suck, hes a great musician. he might act like a total *******, but dont we all sometimes. personally i dont actually like velvet revolver. doesnt appeal to me. i prefer the old guns and roses sound that they had back in the day.

[Feel bad inc.]

its a lie.

You havn't heard Buckethead have you. Idiot. I love Slashes guitaring, but Buckethead is an amazing guitarist, and alot of his songs have great melody. Listen to stuff before you criticise it. Oh yeah, on top of this, I heard that Slayer's next album is going to be hip hop.

[GED]

I wonder if there really is any recorded track from Chinese Democracy? It could all ust be some rumor started by Axl? I know there are a few songs that have been circuling the web, but still... besides. G n' R Is not the right name for them any more. They should be called Axl Rose and Friends...

[Tulkas]

This, and every other website needs to just quit posting crap about "Chinese Democracy." Nobody cares. Some guy who use to be in a band keeps leaking crap about this album he's been working on for 10 freakin years. Hey, I'm the next Dylan, and I've been working on an album called Darfur Civil Rights, write about that, it's just as relevant!

[wongacaster]

yes slow new days.
So they made up a story.
Coooool.

[adamshakermaker]

This site is going to the dogs.

[Perpetual Burn]

haha what a load of crap.

[Ian T Masters]

This is going to be the worst album in a long time.
Axl is a punk bitch sellout. He and his plastic face will be devastated to never do anything on par with Contraband.

Guns and Roses is dead.

[.Will.]

For gods SAKE!! ITS BULLLSHIT! Are you guys actually gonna read the article or not?! For a start the site is called TheSpoof.com, as if that doesn't give you enough of an idea that this is FAKE?

Why is this even on the UG front page? -sigh-

[NorfIrIon]

I laughed so hard, I thought I'd die.
I could not care less about this band, or this album, or the news on it, or ****ing Axl and his insanity.
I, for one, hope this album is Britney Spears+Bluegrass+Rap, just so I can laugh more at all the people who actually buy it.

[UrMomsMom]

ITs not really Guns n Roses.... more like Axl Rose and Friends....
Its so sad to see the talented musicians that joined him in the band... i mean if you actualy go see them... the guitarists are very talented and should find a better band to make their name known... not join this Axl Rose bandwagon which seems to be on downward spiral

[Aidy Damage]

I can't believe this was posted as NEWS!

For our next story, Maynard James Keenan has given birth to a Llama... out of his left nostril.

Also, John Petrucci has destroyed a small island, stating that they were 'guitar n00bs' and 'deserved the eternal wrath' of his 'face-melting guitar tone'.

[daguy1234]

I'm just gonna be noobish and say a Bluegrass album is probably an album that has Bluegrass. How can it be any simpler?

I'm not a GNR fan. But I don't hate them, either. Maybe I'll, buy this album.

And to all you dumba**es out there, it's on the front page because it's actually a joke and UG probably knows.

Reread the story dummy. It's both.

[Money_Joe]

Jeez its hard to believe that even when u get towards the bottom of these comments there are people that still believe this! Suppose it beats a constant back and forth of who is better, VR or GNR like most of the CD articles have. Oh and as for the bluegrass thing, as someone mentioned, check out Duelling Banjos (or the film Deliverance to get a visual experience...lol) or even some of John 5's solo work, gotta say the man kicks ass and its nice to hear something different on a shred album.

[deadlyMETAL]

Omg maybe UG should've actually pointed out in the article that it was just a joke? For slow people that would be a big help! XD

But it's too obvious near the end of the article that it's a joke....

[Black-Metal]

alex rose now has the worlds best guns n roses cover band

i have heard buckethead... own a couple albums actually. so dont be so quick to judge there chief.

[MockingbirdGirl]

HAHAHAHA! This is hilarious. I mean, I doubt it's true, really. BUT OMG! HAHA! Now I can tell everyone, "I told ya so" when Chinese Democracy SUCKS.

[mcyrus10]

dude i'd buy a gn'r roses bluegrass album, it couldn't possibly be worse than their other stuff

[kinghate69]

seriously, does anyone even give a shit about chinese democracy anymore?

[silentaudio13]

ya really blue grass is ok but i still think guns N' roses is a good band.....oh yeah nah i wony buy one cuz slash isnt in it any more stupid guns in roses slash was the life of guns n' roses

[silentaudio13]

no no one does cuz its bull shit!

[meh!]

checked*

Calm down people, ffs.

[hinin]

oh please, do spoof.com think we were born yesterday? for a start, Chinese Democracy is even less likely to see the light of day than Elvis Presley crashing a UFO into Jesus while he swims with the Loch Ness Monster in Atlantis. Secondly, even if it does get released, I doubt his label would even LET him make a completely bluegrass album.

The G'n'R soap opera continues....

[UNIe]

That's clearly a joke Though it would be interesting to hear a bluegrass album from such a band

[TheRealJerrbear]

THIS "NEWS STORY" WAS AND IS A JOKE,I know because I WROTE it on TheSpoof.com

The G'n'R soap opera continues....

Ahah. Very true. Everything surrounding this "Album" is like a friggin episode of Days of Our Lives. Guns 'N' Roses could have been one of if not the best band ever. Im not disputing how good they were. but Axl, like most frontmen was and is a headcase. He screwed it up. On the other hand, Velvet Revolver (in my opinion) is pretty good. I like more than a few of there songs, but as far as im concerned, G'N'R is DEAD.

I have heard 10 tracks from 'Chinese Democracy' and I have to say there are only 4 tracks that I like and they are Chinese Democracy (sounds a lot like Velvet Revolver), There Was A Time, Oh My God and IRS
The song that makes me wanna throw up is Madagascar (listen to it and you will know what I mean) and Axl is proud of that song! haha! Axl has kileed the GN'R we love
