Dave Navarro Comments on Chinese Democracy

DAVE NAVARRO Says He 'Pretty Much Loves' GUNS N' ROSES' 'Chinese Democracy' - Dec. 29, 2008

Guitarist Dave Navarro (JANE'S ADDICTION, CAMP FREDDY, THE PANIC CHANNEL) was recently asked by a fan via Dave's official web site if he has had a chance to sit down and listen to GUNS N' ROSES' long-awaited new album, "Chinese Democracy", all the way through and what his thoughts on it were. "Yes," Navarro replied. "I have to say that I pretty much love it."



"The way I have been describing it has been 70% awesome and 30% really weird, but after a few listens the weird becomes awesome again. I don't know if it's the songs or the fact that I just enjoy hearing that guy's [Axl Rose] voice or both, but I am a fan. It's not GN'R as we know it. It feels more like an Axl solo record, probably because as music lovers we were able to get a feel for the old GN'R dynamics and the personalities of each member in the band. I know very little about this band so it's hard to connect with each member sonically like I did before. People have been commenting on how long it took to make, but I kind of don't believe he was working on all THESE songs the whole time. I'm sure there have been versions, stuff that got scrapped, breaks, lineup changes, personal time. I'm speculating, of course, but having worked on so many projects, I know that there are a million things that go down before you even decide on the track listing."

The original lineup of JANE'S ADDICTION played another tiny venue in Los Angeles last month. Following on the heels of October's near-impossible-to-get-into engagement at downtown's La Cita, the band performed at Silverlake's El Cid on November 20.

JANE'S ADDICTION, including founding bassist Eric Avery, did reunite for a four-song set at the NME Awards USA in Los Angeles last April, where they were presented with the Godlike Genius Award.

The band has reunited twice before, in 1997 and 2001, but without Avery. RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS bassist Flea, Chris Chaney and Martyn LeNoble all took turns in the lineup.

I would agree with how DN reviews this album. The more I listen to this album especially the "weird songs" the more I love it. "Sorry" I cannot get out my head. I hated TIL when i first heard it but now is my favourite song. I admire and respect how Axl Rose produced this album that is so complex and different to any other album I have heard. A true and reflective melting pot. The biggest thing IMO is he never sold out...

Did Dave Grohl say something about CD and I missed it? He might have been in a position to diss GNR when he was Nirvana's drummer, but Foo Fighters have sadly descended into vacuous stadium bluster of the kind those grunge types used to whinge about. It's a shame because the first two albums were great, the third one was good, and then they turned into a po-faced Cutting Crew.

haha i love how when someone applauds and shows love towards the album, they're showered with compliments from the members but if someone criticizes the album, they and whatever history in music they have are cast down to the depths of "joo sukorz".
