Brian May: Leaked GNR track is great

Axl Rose said that some of the new Guns N' Roses music would have a Queen feel, but he didn't say it was because a member of Queen was on the new album Chinese Democracy. Guitarist Brian May has admitted to being on the song "Catcher In The Rye" that's been leaked on the Internet. On his official brianmay.com website, the guitarist wrote, "Yes, my guitar is there, nice and crisply recorded. It was a blast doing the sessions. I had flown out to LA specially to play on the record for Axl. I've sat on whatever I have or know about these songs ever since that moment... out of respect for Axl... confidentiality is part of respect for me."

May also wrote, "'Catcher In The Rye' is a great track... I like the track a lot and always did... and it still sounds very fresh... The thing that hits you first is that incredible, incredible voice... we've been missing it for far too long. Axl is magic."

"Catcher In The Rye" is one of a handful of songs that have appeared online in recent weeks. They're expected to be part of the new GNR album Chinese Democracy - whenever it comes out.

Guns N' Roses are lining up European shows for the late spring and summer. North American dates haven't been announced yet.

Queen + Paul Rodgers kicked off the North American leg of their tour on Friday, March 3rd in Miami.
