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.
