GnR Chris Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) From a career standpoint, I'd mourn the loss of infinite material that never saw the light of day from a person I consider the greatest frontman of the greatest American r&r band ever.I'd view Axl's career post-mid '90s as wasted talent and wasted time.The CD material speaks for itself. It's incredible. But he lost his way somewhere and seems to be content being a nostalgia act. That's completely OK, because it's one heck of a show. Of course I'd be sad if Axl died.And unfortunately, I think we'd see all the unreleased material surface and his management team would get paid.

Val22 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I would be very sad and it would probably seem unreal for awhile.I would grieve for him and wish Axl had a longer life, but shit happens and it sucks sometimes, but you move on and be glad for at least having Axl for the time he was here.I try not to think about people dying. I've lost so many loved ones in my life and I know one day my time will come, but I try not to dwell on it. I try to make the most of the time I have and just get through the days. lolMostly I think it would suck if Axl died. I think he's too young to die and a lot of people would miss him so much.

gunnari Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 If Axl died reunion hopes would be buried with him =( I would cry probably.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaider Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I wouldn't care, just like I didn't care when Jeff from Slayer died or when Dimebag got shot. It's not like I know these people. they're just... musicians whose work I happen to admire. But their being dead or alive doesn't affect me at all.

Snowmass Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I'm guessing Axl/Beta have it in will that Slash isn't allowed at funeral. And the vault gets turned over to Fernando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbo Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 That's the only way for us to get new material.But for Christ's sake, Appetite Lies UYIs and TSI DON'T NEED TO BE REMASTERED. They butchered it once on the Greatest Hits CD.???From what I remember they didn't do dick to those songs... Oh yes they did. The Greatest Hits Cd wasn't advertised as remastered, but in fact it was. They added lots of compression to the tracks, compression that wasn't needed and that created few instances of clipping during the songs.Here's some waveforms, on top original CD, on bottom GH CD.Jungle :Civil War :This is very noticeable when you listen to the songs back-to-back. And this would be worse if they remastered it "officially".Oh shit. Never knew. Haven't listened to gh since like 08, when my buddy had it in his car during a road trip, and I just didnt remember hearing a significant difference then. And also remember hearing the label claim they didnt touch the songs. But apparently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 If he dies tomorrow, don't think universal won't throw out every bit of material there is finished. Sadly that's the best chance we have to hearing new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that's the best chance we have to hearing new music.I doubt they would release the new GNR material. Instead, they'd reissue all the old albums, maybe release the UYI concert doc, some demos and outtakes perhaps, maybe rerelease the ritz on bluray, etc. I don't think they'd want to further tarnish the GNR brand with hip hop piano ballads.

Apollo Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 I honestly wouldn't give a shit. He's practically dead already.Not really.Axl is and has been touring and putting on great shows for thousands of fans every concert.He is "dead" in the aspect of releasing music to his millions of fans.But in the real sense of the word, he is alive and apparently doing pretty well. Shows, vacations, hanging at parties. The guy is out living his life.Instead of constantly focusing on the negative (you hate life, you hate people, you hate acdc, you hate led zep, you hate queen, you hate Lebron - every topic that you post in, it seems like the common theme is you hating on whatever the topic is) why not focus on the positive for a change?

Screamin' Demon Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Maybe we'd get all the live shows from the Use Your Illusion tour & unreleased material & anything else Team Brazil could make a profit from. Musicwise I suppose it would be more productive than now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gun N' Roses Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 People die every day, life goes on. I look at life the same way. Like I don't want to get morbid here, but people talk about the starving kids and Africa dying and stuff and I just shrug it off. It's not like they're directly effecting my life, so why should I really care? I don't know, maybe I'm just crazy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Intentions Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 It's probably the only way we'll ever get unreleased material, sadly, since management will want to whore his name out and make every dime they possible could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
