“People will hear music this year,” he said. “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.’ But you’ll like at least a few songs on there.” Speaking about the progress of ‘Chinese Democracy’to Rolling Stone, Rose explained: “We’re working on 32 songs, and 26 are nearly done.” Of those tracks, 13 are slated for the final album, with Rose picking out ‘Better’, ‘There Was A Time’ and ‘The Blues’ as personal favorites.
