Abnormal is the follow-up to Ron 'Bumblefoot' Thal's previous offering Normal, and the first solo release as a member of Guns N' Roses.  An experimental hard rock album with flavors of punk and melodic rock. When asked about the album, Thal had the following to say: 'It was October last year, I was about to fly into a fucking rage, went to go crash out at the studio, and all these songs just started flying out of my head. Spent the next few months recording drums, bass, guitars, vocals, opera singers and tuba players. Some people heard it and said it reminds them of the Sex Pistols with a little Beatles/Queen vibe to it. Didn't have a plan, just did what I felt, and in the end this is what I got.'  Thal also ran a contest where people submitted videos of themselves singing opera, and the winners of the contest sang backing vocals on the album.
