Led GNR

10/18/05
. (KNAC) James Barber who has worked as an A&R at Geffen Records was recently interviewed by Poptones. The Guns n' Roses part of the interview follows: "...No expense was spared; they were the biggest band in the history of the label and, even though everyone except Axl was gone, Geffen Records lived and breathed for another G N' R album.

The Robin Finck/Josh Freese/Tommy Stinson/Billy Howerdel/Dizzy Reed version of the album that existed in 1998 was pretty incredible. It still sounded like GNR but there were elements of ZEPPELIN, NINE INCH NAILS and PINK FLOYD mixed in. If Axl had recorded vocals, it would have been an absolutely contemporary record in 1999. People close to the project have since told me that I don't know what I'm talking about, that the current version of the record in no way resembles what I heard in early 1999. That's too bad."
