AXL ROSE BREAKS HIS SILENCE

GUNS N’ ROSES frontman AXL ROSE says that the band’s decade-in-the-making “Chinese Democracy” album is nearing completion. “People will hear music this year,” Rose told Rolling Stone at KORN’s tour announcement party in Hollywood on Friday night. “It’s a very complex record. I’m trying to do something different. Some of the arrangements are kind of like Queen.” Rose said the band is working on thirty-two songs, twenty-six of which are finished. Of those, thirteen are slated for the final album. Among Rose’s favorites are “Better,” “There Was a Time” and “The Blues.” He also hinted that Gn’R may get back out on the road soon. “Every time there’s a big festival announced, we get rumored to be on there,” he says. “But we’ll see what happens.”
