it's not over yet... I'm fine with it either way, but any more tracks with Axl, Duff, and Slash on them is something I'm very much still interested in. a cover, a Chinese leak, a new song, a collaboration, whatever. 

no one sounds like Axl, Slash, and Duff. I see it as still open ended, you've got a lot of talented writers/composers in the lineup so I don't put a clock on it and Slash's approach works for me: if it happens, it happens.

in the end, Axl is just going to do what he wants to do and there is technically still more time for more Gn'R music to be released.

I saw Dorothy live a couple years back and she puts on a great show and can really sing.  Unfortunately she is an unbearable follow on social media and crazy religious to the point where she has stopped shows to rid audience members of evil spirits lol

she seems mentally ill, not trying to be an asshole. honestly, I would dislike it if I was in the crowd and someone was doing that shit onstage.

Right, but it implies they had another album complete or nearly complete. 

no need for speculation, Axl outright said that he always saw it as a double and the second half was complete for a long time 10 years ago. he has no reason to lie about it.

D: I know this is jumping the gun big time, but any tentative idea when you would like to see the next CD come out?

Axl: No, maybe same bat time, same bat channel next year but we'll have to see.

Amazing! My dad and I had a quick chat with him in an alley before the show. He was super cool. I got his autograph on my ticket. 

all Axl said was maybe. no release date, no promise it will be out in 2009.

I wish people would stop perpetuating this. Just because a song wasn't on the 2008 album, doesn't mean it wasn't ready or finished by then. We know Atlas was ready, it just didn't fit onto the disc. Baz said Axl said The General fit the "third album" best lyrically. Songs jumped between the first two albums. Catcher was considered for CD2 for a time. Hardschool was nearly ready in 2000, but was also on the list for CD2, at least in early 2008.  Axl himself said CD2 would be out a year after the 2008 album, suggesting it was more or less ready then. In 2014 he said it was done for a while... They wouldn't have released a follow-up album of B-sides/discarded songs from the previous album, they were all from the same sessions over years of recording. Axl called CD2 the second part of Chinese. We only got half the story with the 2008 album, which is unfortunately because now our beloved CD2 is getting f***** by the NITL lineup, both from a performance and mixing standpoint. 

no, Axl never said that CD ll would be out in 2009

That's..because those are huge hits that everyone knows. Not because the music genre is any different.

another attempt, and this time slower just cause you seem to not understand: a genre is a wide definition. you can be very different in the same genre. AFD is hard rock. MC did hard rock and looked kinda from the same scene for a while, but it ends there, cause Gn'R's music was unique and very different to what MC did. please don't reply to this post or I will self destruct.

Just now, StrangerInThisTown said:

Well pardon me if I don't understand, if all I have to work with here are one sentence replies or detailed assessments such as "literally no difference if you've got shit in your ears"

I don't care right now, sorry that you've got shit in your ears. MC didn't do what Gn'R did musically. a lot of people think that AFD is unique sounding to Gn'R. MC didn't sound like WTTJ. you even hear the hits like SCOM and PC and it's clear it's not Poison, MC, or Whitesnake unless... shit in the ears imho

If you have such a detailed sense of separation of music that is all blues based hard rock, you are far out from what the public perceives, which makes it then understandable that you found it hard to believe they lump them in together. 

you don't understand, maybe someone else can explain or read my views about it again in my previous posts for your enjoyment. 

Just now, StrangerInThisTown said:

Literally couldn't disagree more because: the only difference might be the topic of the lyrics and/or the look of the members, which is what sways peoples perception big time. Not the music in itself, it's ALL blues based hard rock, all the visual bullshit aside that people want to take into account.

no, it's...it's the music itself. agree to disagree.

Isn't that what "the public" refers to - people who are vaguely familiar with the big hits, maybe watched the WTTJ video or Kickstart My Heart. There is literally no difference to anyone except for people who know Motleys first couple albums instead of Dr. Feelgood (which was their biggest album). Because by that point they were truly putting out the exact same genre of music. Wasn't there even a rumour that Slash wrote the Dr. Feelgood riff and gave it to Nikki?

literally no difference if you've got shit in your ears imo

You need someone to "say" something for you that is like..so extremely obvious? That the publics perception of GNR and Motley are largely the same lol? They are lumped in together by the public all day and night what are you on about.

I don't think that every listener that knows the music of both bands lumps them together. I'd say a lot of people don't. maybe image wise if you didn't hear too many songs from the catalogs.

To you yes, but not to 99% of public. Both came out of sunset strip in the 80s, both play hard rock, both have singers that can't sing anymore, both have members of crossover fame (slash and tommy lee) the bands are basically the same set up 2 guitar bass drum vocal. Obviously to those of us who can pick different subgenres within genres, they have different sounds, but they both fall under 'rock' or 'classic rock' the same way van halen sound nothing like GnR but come from same area and play the same genre, so of course they are lumped in together. Metallica and GnR toured because people think they're basically the same and they are literally different genres whereas GnR and Motley arent. 

Today you'll see a classic rock playlist contain nirvana (grunge) metallica (metal) Acdc, rolling stones, the doors, gnr motley etc. You can argue the two that sound most alike out of those are gnr and motley. Today people only care about names. Names equal $$$$££££ and thats all they care about. 

Gn'R created and released AFD, a masterpiece of hard rock. you're comparing that to anything MC did musically? 99% of the public? says who?

Luckily the Stones are a band that love putting out stuff just like that. Maybe a little something something will drop before the upcoming tour. At least another video, hoping for Whole Wide World.

I think another music video will happen. the extra tracks should be released in the next few years imo

It’s amazing. It’s been said so many time but this album has no right to be as good as it is. Wasn’t expecting them to even make good on the new album rumors let alone that it would be one of their best. Amazing. 

and they still have CD ll leftovers from the Hackney Diamonds sessions that didn't make the cut. I'd bet there's a few good ones there as well. I hope that they will release it as soon as possible, this is exactly the album they should have made and I hope they know fans would love to hear the extra tracks soon.

(It didn't)

this album is on a different level I think. these band members are 80 years old. it demonstrates perfectly the talent and ability of The Stones. 

they're out of shit to say only when they're not breathing anymore. this album at this stage of their career is just incredible tbh.

thank fuck for ginger Elvis

not worthy to share a stage with Gn'R imho

this is the perfect time for Skid Row to not reunite with Sebastian Bach again

You predicted him reuniting with Slash? You predicted him fronting AC/DC? You predicted him suggesting to cover Slither? You predicted him reworking Silkworms into Absurd and releasing it as the first single after Slash rejoined GN'R? 

you know... Quasimodo predicted all this

It doesn't matter what people thought of Slash leaving or whether the band "might as well be dead". A band that releases music and tours simply isn't dead. It isn't  Just because people didn't like it doesn't mean that it ceased to exist. People can't will away the existence of a bandor anything else. They can't cover their ears and eyes and go, "nananannanana!" and think the Guns N' Roses was dead and gone simply because they were more comfortable with that thought. It wasn't dead. It wasn't gone. The band released one new album and did more than 300 shows in that period. Yes, it was far from as popular as with the UYI lineup; yes, the band was periodically laughed at; yes, many fans of Slash got whiny about it and lost interest; yes, it was a crazy circus at times. But no, the band didn't end, the band didn't fold, the band didn't stop activity, the band survived - through all of this. And that's really the definition of surviving, to get through hard times without ending. Which is exactly what the band did. So when people claim the band didn't survive Slash leaving I can't help from laughing. 

really kept the bond between Axl and Dizzy Reed throughout while someone was on stage doing a nunchuk dance as part of his solo spot but without Slash (and Duff) it died, then came back to life and what was in between was only Gn'R on paper.

Because he has literally said it himself that he only makes albums so he can tour. I'm not reading into anything.

"The only reason I make records is so I can go out and tour. Because as a guitar player, I love playing guitar - I don't love being in the studio, I don't love sitting around my house playing the guitar - I like playing live."

but that was always the case with Slash, his priorities as a musician what is your point

Wow! Not to change the subject, but some people really need to take business classes or learn somehow as to how a business  can be structured.  Even if you don't want to own a business, it's good knowledge to have for finding a job or maintaining your job. 

I took a few business classes just to increase posting quality. gotta know the business structure when discussing Gn'R we need new music.

Slash has no reason to leave Gn'R, ever. highly likely he will never leave Gn'R imo.

Absolutely. At least 2 I'd say. 

What goes on with the guy, we can only speculate on (and do, frequently!) but Slash/Duff don't even seem to have the sway to get a live album released. 

maybe Slash and Duff just let Axl do his thing and they know that even if they did try to convince him to do anything he doesn't want to do/isn't ready then it would only rock the boat. they seem to be there for when he needs them and I think it's possible the three of them discussed some future plans.

I wouldn't say he's lying, I'm saying that people always paint a rosy picture for social media, or just put on a public persona that doesn't really reflect how they feel inside all the time. Like I said, you can read interviews with Slash in the 1990s talking about how GNR was as tight a band of brothers as always.

And again, I'm not even staking a claim on one side or the other here. Just pointing out that nobody really knows how they feel. Never mind people with connections, even Meegan may not know how Slash really feels about the project.

I don't really care to argue the point that much, but you seem to be leaning a lot on touring. Slash has always and will always love touring. My opinion is that he's not as inspired when it comes to writing with SMKC as he used to be.

I'm not the guy suggesting the blues album means SMKC is finished, that's just wild speculation.

but it's his ideas....his decision to keep it going. why would he come up with the music for a band and continue that band without it making comparable profit to his Gn'R gig if not for the joy of it? you're reading too much into it, they are having fun playing together and getting to support their album, 4 that they've made together.
