Cypress Hill's B-Real was interviews by NY Hard Rock Examiner and was discussing working with Slash when the interviewer asked him if he had listen to Guns N' Roses' 'Chinese Democracy' and he had this to say:

"No, I mean look. I liked Guns N' Roses in the old form. Right now they're just Guns. Or actually they're just Roses, no guns. Til he puts the rest of the guys back there that shIt is not Guns N' Roses just cause he owns the name, means nothing."

Examiner: So you’re a Gn’R purist?
B-Real: I’m a Gn’R purist. Just like Van Halen. Van Hagar, eat me! Look, Van Halen with David Lee Roth, I’m all for it. The only band that did that, two bands that did that that I was cool with, and didn’t have a problem with. One was AC/DC. I loved Bon Scott, when they replaced him when he died, obviously I was younger but hearing the transition from Bon Scott to, what’s his name, it was great it’s like they didn’t miss a step, you know. So I stayed an AC/DC fan because it was like, those were the first records I heard with Bon Scott and then I started hearing the other ones, with Brian Johnson, and I was like f*ck, this sh*t is still kinda cool.

And then, I was a big Black Sabbath fan, and the records with Ozzy I loved, and I didn’t know cause obviously that was before my time, I was a youngster when Black Sabbath was actually active with Ozzy, so being an Ozzy Osborne fan I went to those back catalogues and found the old era Sabbath stuff, then I heard the Dio stuff and at first I thought how the f*ck did they make a record without Ozzy, and they got Dio. And then I started listening to the Dio sh*t and was like you know what, it was actually kind of tight. But it doesn’t work with all bands like that, you know? It’s always a gamble. That’s why I gotta give props to Alice in Chains, man, because they did just that!
