That’s a pretty big compliment coming from someone in such a famously feuding pair!
Slash has come out with nothing but good things to say about former Guns N’ Roses bandmate Axl Rose and the band’s 2008 album Chinese Democracy.
He says of the record:
“It was the perfect Axl record. It was exactly what I would have expected from the final years of us working together, and seeing where he was headed musically. It’s very heavy, sort of a dark, depressing record. He’s fucking phenomenal.”
Wow! When asked if a reconciliation was on the horizon he didn’t seem very optimistic though. Slash explains:
“I’m more stand-offish because I know how vehemently he hates me. So that sort of makes me doubt it. But if we ran into each other and all that animosity were to pass for a second, then I’m sure we could have an interesting conversation.”
Oh, definitely! We’d love to listen in on that one!
