Rob Carlyle, the frontman and founder of The Compulsions, recently shared his thoughts on the latest tracks released by his former bandmates Frank Ferrer and Richard Fortus, who are now part of Guns N’ Roses, during a podcast interview with The Liner Note.

In the interview, Carlyle expressed his views on the evolution of Guns N’ Roses’ music, mentioning that he felt they were straying too far from their bluesy rock ‘n’ roll roots. He emphasized the importance of staying true to the original template of rock ‘n’ roll, which he described as a fusion of music by poor black and white people.

Aside from discussing GN’R, Carlyle touched upon various topics, such as his musical influences like Keith Richards and Ron Wood, his experience sharing the stage with Lady Gaga before her rise to fame, and his renewed focus on guitar playing during the pandemic.
