Guns N' Roses
Intro
There’s something to be said for spontaneity in music. Back in 1987, Los Angeles five-piece Guns N’ Roses sobered up for few minutes to record songs like “Welcome to the Jungle” which caused kids worldwide to tear holes in their jeans. But since then everyone left the band except for vocalist声乐家，歌手 Axl Rose, who with new musicians has been working on an album called Chinese Democracy for the last 10 years. It’s taking so long that a lot of people have stopped paying attention to GNR. Mason is among those who don’t seem to care about the band’s new material.；

Dialogue
Marni: So, uh, have you heard the new Guns N’ Roses track? It’s been leaked.
Mason: There’s new Guns N’ Roses?
Marni: Yes, yes, it’s like 10 years in the making, Chinese Democracy, Axl, you know. But Guns N’ Roses from the original band is only Axl Rose.
Mason: Oh…I wonder who he sued to向……提出请求 get the rights to do that.
Marni: Well, yeah, I mean all that aside, Appetite for Destruction...
Mason: It’s a classic!
Marni: Classic!
Mason: I searched for that like for so long， it was a funny thing. And, yeah, so, that’s like one of my prized record possessions.
Marni: That record came out 20 years ago, can you believe it?
Marni: Oh, nice, because now you can’t get that.
Mason: With like the crazy painting…yeah…But anyway…
Marni: New Guns N’ Roses, just Axl Rose, actually one of the member is Tommy Stinson who used to play bass for the Replacements.
Mason: Oh, that’s cool, the Replacements are awesome.
Marni: The Replacements are great, but paired with Axl Rose he just seems to be this total tyrant. It will be interesting to see what comes from it. I don’t know.
Discussion
Mason is quite surprised to learn that there is new Guns N’ Roses available for download. Marni explains that the only member still left from the original band is Axl Rose. Mason jokes that he must have had to fight in court for the right to do that.
Marni reminds Mason of Appetite for Destruction, GNR’s most famous album. They geek out about it for a minute.
Among the new members of Guns N’ Roses is former bassist of the Replacements. Marni and Mason both like the Replacements, but they aren’t sure if the new GNR album is going to be any good.
There are a lot of bands touring with only one or two original members these days. Do you think that’s right? |
