Rose89 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 OK so I ran into someone from GNR's camp while the band were on tour here in Australia who told me the current lineup have been writing new material on the road & are planning to start work on a new album once the tour wraps!!! Anyone else heard anything similar?? Insanely excited but also a little nervous to hear what new Gunners music might sound like lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don-t_damn_me Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It's comforting to hear that there are actual plans and they're writing on the road... I've always been positive about a new album at some point, but I would not have thought they are actually already making plans about it. I'am onestly excited right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belfer Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I doubt. Sooner AXL/DC will release the album than Guns N' Roses... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlingrl03 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Tentatively...but absolutely feeling positive about this news and sooooo hoping it does happen!!! I know we have all this heard this kind of thing before. And of course only time will tell. But I am not ready to give up on new music quite yet.

Silent Jay Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Axl is going to record an album with AC/DC first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 They can write a thousand songs, but none of it matters until Axl has lyrics and vocals done. Unless they're just tweaking or re-re-re-re-recording Chinese Democracy songs. I'd love to hear new music, but until something leaks or we start hearing rumors from a lot of sources, I don't expect an album to come out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) back in 1991 Axl said the band would be writing material on the road "so that people wouldn't have to wait forever" for the next studio album of original material...which then didn't come out for another 17 years...

bucket13 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I'd love to hear the old band make a new record! I have hopes that they bring back some feelings from yesteryear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it, it was someone really close to the band and he seemed super sincere.

sanity_lost Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I would not doubt that they are writing music. However that translating in to something that will ever be released is another thing entirely. I am not someone who says that there will never be another album, but I sure wouldn't hold my breath.

BorderlineCrazy Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If they get a competent drummer, a new album would be awesome. Otherwise, I'd rather listen to SMKC III. Fitzy never disappoints. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with these posts that bother me is that it's never specified who said it. "someone from GNRs camp"..what do you have to lose by posting who said it? You think they're gonna knock on your door and abduct you? Just say who it was lol so we can make a more accurate assumption whether this has any merit or not.

Slash always keeps busy, it will either be pre production for GNR or he will finally hit the studio for the year long delayed SMKC III while Axl goes to writing with Angus. Whatever happens I will love new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkenchantress Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If history has taught us anything is that GnR cannot make a decent album without Izzy Stradlin for the life of them. So I say, bring it! I'm ready to be proven wrong, but I really doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 When will this tour end? 2018? Or is this the last year. So they could be in the studio in early 2018? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are so many great drummers that it would be painful to have this guy fucking up a GNR album (and their first album since 1991!). You don't want Steven? Call Brent Fitz, call Josh Freese, call Duff's wife, anyone will do a better job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason people don't mention the name is because, let's say Richard says "we're recording in November" and then it appears on blabbermouth that they'll be recording in November and Richard has said so to a random fan on the street... information that was supposed to be kept on the down low. Richard is going to be pistol whipped by management on the orders of the boss. And that goes for anyone under the employment of Axl/GnR besides maybe Slash or Duff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsfanoldie Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just like with NuGNR, I'll believe it when I see it. There's even less reason here they have to because Axl, Slash and Duff could easily tour the greatest hits for the rest of their days. NuGNR probably couldn't forever, and were losing support in the US. So a new album would be nice, but they don't really need it and combine that with Axl's history of taking awhile... again I'll just believe it when I see it. I truly don't believe there are plans, but maybe I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.. as unsensitive as it sounds I hope Richard gets kicked out actually so they can work out a deal with Izzy, so that works for me lol. Who actually cares if someone like a soundguy gets whipped in exchange for us knowing that this is not another bullshit post like the "they're gonna release a new song before Christmas"?

AlexC Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Even if they are jamming and writing songs on the road that doesn't mean anything. That's just something that musicians do. If you're jamming in rehearsal, inevitably you're gonna instinctively write stuff. But actually going into a studio and recording material and then Axl actually putting lyrics to it and tracking vocals is a whole lot different. I do think it'll happen as I legitimately think Axl and all of them do want to do it but it won't be for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Brent Fitz, call Josh Freese, call Duff's wife, anyone will do a better job! So, we've moved on past "frank can't play AFD songs" to "frank isn't a competent drummer". That is moronic. Frank is a highly regarded drummer, that's why he was hired in 2006, just like why Matt was hired, Brain, Freese each drummer has been top calibre and Frank is no different. End of story.
