Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash has offered his thoughts on rock music these days, explaining that the genre has become “dull and boring”.

Over the last few months, numerous acts have hit out at the current state of rock music. While Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was recently admonished by Slipknot’s Corey Taylor for saying “rock music is nowhere”, Bring Me The Horizon also chimed in, stating that rock music today is “mostly shite”.

Bring Me The Horizon noted that they believe hip-hop music is the cause, noting that “rap is almost the new punk”, while Rammstein recently backed up this notion as well.

Now, guitar legend Slash has offered up his unpopular thoughts on rock, though he believes the genre is now “turning over a new leaf”.

Just months after Slash said he he likes the fact that “rock isn’t mainstream anymore”, the famed guitarist spoke to Billboard Radio China recently to talk about the current state of the genre.

In related news, Slash is set to make his return to Australia early next year, when he hits up Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne, and Perth with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators.
