seagullview Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 If Axl retired Gn'R and started a new band how would you feel? Assuming they would release music would it be a breath of fresh air or would you prefer Guns to stay together? I'm not talking merely about a name change, but a new band with new members or even Axl solo. What about an Axl, Izzy and Duff acoustic trio lol. I think at this point it would actually be cool to see a new band. They would be more free in choosing a different style of music and all the other burdens of the Guns name would be freed. Not that it's ever going to happen and realistically the slow release of new music would be the same as now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estranged Coma Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I think a new band would have a chance for there music to be judged better by critics. Does that really matter? Not rly. Also they won't sell to many records or fill up stadiums. So best case scenario for a new Axl band (and anyone else minus slash) is to release a rly great record that gets critically acclaimed as really good and they do some badass shows.

SlashRock Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 It's what he should have done back in 1996.Would have saved us two decades of wasted potential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seagullview Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 Honestly I only care about good music. Don't really care what the band is called.Fair enough, but a new band with other members would mean different music so that would have an impact on the music made.

lauradoon Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 God no never not without axl..

Rovim Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) Isn't that the case already? Axl and a rotating swag parade of musicians? With Bumble gone, I'm sure Axl will find a new guitar player to shred cause fuck knows Ashba can't do it, and no, Axl is not giving the shred up and Fortus can't really shred. It's beyond him. Not in the level of Bucket and Bumble at least. Edited April 13, 2015 by Rovim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 "Excited" is a word that should be forbidden to use when you discuss Axl's band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 (edited) "Excited" is a word that should be forbidden to use when you discuss Axl's band.Can I still listen to Chinese while being excited inside? if it will be forbidden to use positive words to express our satisfaction by Chinese in a Guns forum, anything will be possible.

Not that it's ever going to happen and realistically the slow release of new music would be the same as nowExcited by a new band, I was in 2001/2 and 2006 , more in the tour that started in 2009 I think it was Korea or Tokyo when gnr did the near 4 hour gig , not since then, you know what's happening or not happening more like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinyrobot Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah. That'd be a nice choice. And I have thought of Duff and Izzy working with Axl. It would be like a Velvet Revolver backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Yeah. That'd be a nice choice. And I have thought of Duff and Izzy working with Axl. It would be like a Velvet Revolver backwards.I wish there was room for both Duff and Tommy, cause I feel like Axl is ready to go for that and even wants to. But there isn't room.As for Izzy, he's a good pal, but I just don't see them working together in the near future. Perhaps some day.We have Down In The Ocean as the nearest possible potential release of an Axl/Izzy collaboration. If that's ever released and it's a great song, will people still not consider it Gn'R, or it will just be labeled as "almost Gn'R"? I think a lot about these things.

At this point I'm so tired of thinking and I guess nothing will happen for a loooong time, really :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevelle Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Only if it was drastically different and Axl didn't attempt to sing like his old self. Like, if he was doing the piano based stuff he talked about doing solo on here ages ago, that I'd be down with. But I'd just laugh if Axl started another rock band at this point.

Crowebar Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Axl shouldn't ever retire the GnR brand. He's worked too hard to just throw it all away now and start fresh. I hope he doesn't ever do that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) A new band would open up potential and lose the GNR luggage. It might be a positive thing.Releasing self titled GNR record with Dj gets me more wet.Probably Axl in GNR is the best he can be and Slash and Izzy solo are the best they can be. Axl works best as the frontman of a big name band. Edited April 14, 2015 by wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about too late though. It's not like Gn'R is relevant in the eyes of the public. The fan base will always welcome new music. Even if it's released 10 years from now.
