History2010 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 "It's So Easy", "Crash Diet", "Bad Obsession", "The Garden" and "Yesterdays" were all co-written by West. So not "a lot" of their songs really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) nah i don't think so...he passed in 97 by then Slash was gone and a GNR album was long pass due. but maybe he would have got them back together sooner who knows.

megaguns1982 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I don't think its "hard" for them to do another album. In fact it's probably very easy for these guys to write together, but primarily the money maker is touring... Sad but true. once they've wrapped up this tour, I think we'll see new music... In what form? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RONIN Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 No. The correct answer is of course, Paul "Tobias" Huge. Without Paul, there would be no Guns N' Roses. - W. Axl Rose 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 He wrote a few songs but overall I'd say no, same for Izzy really. It makes it harder maybe? I have thought that one of reasons are successful as in their records are great high quality that have impact is because they take their time. They aren't going to put it out til it's decent. You can say UYI took 30 days and if they have the right idea and it works they'll release it. But so far they haven't come up with it or they working on it. Look at the 3 albums I would expect something different. Maybe that's the delay, next level takes time. Maybe not having West, Izzy in writing is part of it. I'm sure Slash thinks he can write a new GNR album. In some ways they already did enough, but on the other hand I think they can do it. Izzy will return. Gimme some reggae. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Axl's number is a little misleading because he has lyrics on a lot. It does show that Duff was involved much more than widely known. Izzy is the big loss. But Axl, Slash, Duff should be able to do a record with Fortus. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash and Duff play on every song but they don't get a credit. Sometimes the lyrics/vocals could be just like Slash playing an Izzy riff or doing an awesome solo, or Duff slappin the bass on YCBM. It's just something to consider when you see Axl's number, he gets a credit for doing what is basically his job. Whereas as Slash and Duff don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sometimes I find it strange when people say "it's hard for these guys to do another album" Like how do you know? They've been reunited for about a year and on that time they've been mostly focused on touring. We don't know how fast these guys will release a new album once the tour is over. Now Axl on his own has had trouble releasing albums, which is not even that surprising. Carrying the GNR name alone is a huge pressure. Also it seems like for many years now Axl's been considering reuniting with Slash and Duff, so that must've been one reason why he didn't feel like releasing CD2. What would be the point in releasing an album with a lineup that you don't see having any future. If this band has problems releasing a new album in the future, it's not because of West Arkeens passing. It's because the pressure is so huge. People have such massive expectations for a GNR album. Oh and Axl's obligations with AC/DC might slow things down a bit, but West Arkeen has nothing to do with anything. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) Axl's main problem with the release of CD seemed to be the sound of the record. Label didn't hear that GNR sound. Slash brings that. Of course there's still lyrics and vocals, but that's the benefit of Axl already having some material almost done. I'm sure Slash could record his stuff in a month. Axl might let Slash and Duff take the reins for recording. It's going to move back towards UYI soundwise. Is my wild stab in the dark! It will sound more like old school GNR. And that will smooth things out. Edited March 15, 2017 by wasted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be the best technical player but Damn he has the style and creativity to write a good song. Where are you Izzy?? I think Duff is a good technical player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvanG Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Are you serious with this question? He co-wrote 4 or 5 songs, how can that be ''a lot''? I think everyone knows why it's hard for them to do another album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
