Poor Axl
You know, from what I have heard, the reason that Axl Rose has delayed releasing the Guns n’ Roses album Chinese Democracy was because he was nitpicking every detail, hiring guitarists to redo what other guitarists had already recorded, perpetually unhappy with what it sounded like. His megalomania fused with perfectionism and resulted in a music that could never please him.
Well I guess he finally decided to give in cuz it seems like the album might actually get released this year. I just listened to the title track from it streaming on radio station Q104.3′s website (link here). I guess in order to prevent people from recording the stream and distributing the song as an mp3, every so often a woman’s voice comes on and says “Music on demand” in a sultry kind of voice. It happened about three or four times during the song, and the first time it happened I thought for a second that it was Axl’s attempt at something arty. Anyway, all that blood and sweat perfecting his song, and some woman is talking all over it the first time thousands of people hear it. Poor guy.
