I don't think Axl needs any help from AI technology for vocals in the studio. As many have written here, singing in the studio and at shows are completely different things. He can still use a rasp in concerts, from time to time, but in the studio, he has more time to rest, and because of that he can use it constantly. Rock the Rock is the most recent example of Axl being able to use rasp(vocals) in the studio, i hope we will soon hear that song he sang for Michael Schenker and find out if things have changed.

Yea...by pass the media, get it from the horses mouth...he's more than game for a story on stage, last tour was a return to that....perhaps he's in a sharing mood!

not impressed, his Instagram is better

Exactly, just the notion feels like the opposite of everything we've learned about this fella.

It’s funny to see Tommy there still refer to Chinese Democracy as “the new record” in 2014 lol.

I'm not expecting anything positive to come from this. If history proves anything, the website will never get updated and it will amount to nothing of importance.

Yes, very quiet until Axl website thread. Now is hot again.

I’d like to see Diff live, never seen him solo or with loaded/walking papers. but can’t justify the price

He has had no problems sharing personal things from his life previously. But after 1991 only under controlled situations. He stopped doing press not so much because he didn't want to share, but because he thought media was against him and wouldn't give him a fair chance. And he doesn't have a particular interest in growing his celebrity status, so he avoids press for promoting himself. An autobiography wouldn't really be opposed to any of this.

If (and big if) it's an autobiography, that would be something i'd love to read, but I'm not sure how 'open' it would be, given Axl's desire for privacy. I can imagine it might be one of those ones where you don't really feel you know much more about the person after you've finished it. I can't see him suddenly opening up on a massive scale.

Thank you! Took a little break while things have been very quiet in the GNR world, this intrigued me enough to join the party again

The conclusion of the discussion about this quote on the previous pages is that it's most likely fake, taken from an AI generated "book" site/app (and whoever is working on setting up the Axl website just found it by googling). I guess that in the case of an autobiography this would be taken into consideration, and the release date of the book would be set after the lawsuit issue would be resolved.

I actually was JUST about to ask if "You know who?" Is someone named Axl Rose, but I posted Merchnando at literally the last second. 😉😏

Makes sense....this has been coming for ages! I'm sure there may be events that go along with this....hopefully! Maybe Axl finally returns to Kimmel to promote it 😎

Nah, it rhymes with axle nose.

The Appetite for Distortion guy says the website is for an autobiography.

Does "You know who?" Rhyme with Merchnando? 😏😉💡🤣🤔

UMG still owns the rights to the recordings of old releases (I'm not sure about the current status of AFD and Lies, as GN'R should have retained the rights to the recordings by now due to the time passed), so it probably wouldn't be convenient to move to another label for the distribution of the "new" songs (for which the label acts only as a distributor, as they are owned by GN'R). And given the latter fact (that GN'R owns the rights to the recordings of the four "new" songs), I don't think there are any obstacles from the label that would prevent the release of a new album.

I hope we won't get into yet another "the band can't release an album, because they are held back by contracts they signed decades ago" nonsense. I'm not a lawyer, but even if they did have a contract like that, having made half a billion only during 2016-17 would suggest they can buy themselves out of anything, right? No, it's not contracts. It's you know who.

The label appears to still own the rights to the songs that are on the Chinese Democracy album, whereas the rights to the "NITL" singles are registered with the US Copyright Office as owned by Gundam (the GN'R business entity).

Hope u're OK Hun. Hear if you need me x

The next conference/hearing (which will be the compliance conference about the progress/status of the case) is set for Sept. 24, 2024, and the NOI due date (= the filing date of the form affirming that the depositions phase is completed and the case is ready for trial or other type of judgement) has been moved from Feb. 22, 2025 to Oct. 21, 2024. So I guess there are no service issues. The purpose of the preliminary conference was the setting of the schedule and the case is proceeding with discovery (witness depositions etc.) which should be completed by September.

No, he lipsync'd/mimed the lyric "Like boom" very convincingly into the microphone during their first song "Artillery", but nothing was heard. It was very blatant.

I doubt Slash is going to be pissed off about shit that went down more than 20 years ago. Anyways... I know this is stupid, but I hope the launch of his personal website has to do with music. There are probably songs in the vault he really wants to release at some point, but that just don't fit with the current incarnation of Guns N Roses. Maybe he finally came to terms with it, and is going to release the more experimental stuff under his own name. And maybe, just maybe, release a classic GNR rock album with Slash and Duff. This might make too much sense to happen Another crazy idea: maybe his high pitched voice is actually done for and he'll reinvent himself and release solo stuff with his lower register. As a perfectionist he probably doesn't want to do that with GNR, so it's more ideal to do that as a solo artist. In which case we might get more piano driven songs. Anyways... with Axl and Duff doing their own solo stuff, it makes sense if Axl would do the same. However big or small that may be. It could just be a intimate piano tour... whatever. It can be anything. But it makes sense that he'll do something. Every year counts at his age and doing nothing is going to end in retirement at some point.

I don't think we'll see Bucket back ever. *If* (big if) Axl would release solo stuff, we might see Richard Fortus on it though. Or - and people are gonna hate this - DJ Ashba
