| Abnormal is the follow-up to
Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal's previous offering Normal, and the
first solo release as a member of Guns N' Roses. An experimental hard
rock album with flavors of punk and melodic rock. When asked about the
album, Thal had the following to say: 'It was October last year, I was
about to fly into a f**king rage, went to go crash out at the studio,
and all these songs just started flying out of my head. Spent the next
few months recording drums, bass, guitars, vocals, opera singers and
tuba players. Some people heard it and said it reminds them of the Sex
Pistols with a little Beatles/Queen vibe to it. Didn't have a plan,
just did what I felt, and in the end this is what I got.' Thal also
ran a contest where people submitted videos of themselves singing
opera, and the winners of the contest sang backing vocals on the
album. |
