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.

Such a kiss ass lmao

disclaimer: jokes subject: recognizing sarcasm explanation: you can't lose track of time for 30 years but my serious point I guess was that that was then and this is now. just like Axl isn't late to live Gn'R shows anymore, he also doesn't promise anything or gives release dates when it comes to new music.

I think that we'll go on to write some very interesting things with Richard and he's already done some rhythm work and some leads on the album, [...] but it's time to stop [adding new songs] now and wrap up the baby.." (Axl, GNROnline, 08/15/02)

"It feels right, the timing, and a lot of things. We've sorted it down to what songs are on the record. What the sequence of the songs is. The album cover art is ready. Blah, blah, blah. If you're waiting...don't. [...] Now that we feel that we have clarity as to the album we're trying to make, we're wrapping it up.'" (Axl, GNROnline, 08/15/02)

This is a collaborative effort with the players, but the players aren't exactly sure what it should be to try to win over the world Guns N' Roses style. So that's kind of my responsibility. It took a long time, but now it's working, and I think we'll have the right record, and when we do drop the record, the plan is to drop the record, have a bunch of extra tracks, about a year or so down the road drop another record and drop a third record. This is a three-stage thing and we'll be touring for a real long time." (Axl, WRIF, 11/21/02)

W. Axl Rose is concerned that not only will their audience be misled into believing that the planned compilation is an authorized release, but that it will hinder the release of the band's long awaited new studio album Chinese Democracy." (Sanctuary Group, press release, 03/15/04)

"Rather than dwelling on the negative, Guns will be moving forward and surprisingly (without giving away any details) this unfortunate set of circumstances may have given us the opportunity to take our recording that one extra step further. [...] We greatly appreciate Bucket's contributions and remain open to "discussions" as there are obviously several issues to resolve." (Axl, press release, 03/30/04)

Axl lost track of time, now he doesn't promise anything, he just releases the singles, ,maybe the extrra tracks or parts of CD ll.

The new Black Crowes album kicks ass, Chris definitely still has the goods vocally, he sounds the same as he always has.  This was one of the tracks I was most curious to hear when the guest appearances were announced

thanks, I'll give it a listen. yeah it sounds great with Slash in the snippet.

it's Axl's Gn'R but Slash can't be just an employee in any version of Gn'R, current one included. that's silly.

It sounds very promising but I’m afraid of to high expectations. That often leads to a disappointment.

that particular track he sang his ass off from the snippet, it's fun to finally hear it in a couple of months anyway

The Village material doesn't have the attention to detail because the Village material represents an early snapshot of the songs. Just look at what happend to Sorry or Shackler's Revenge in the 8 years or so that passed from the Village versions were recorded until Chinese Democracy came out. Most of the songs only existed in an early form where the attention was on the general instrumental arrangements.

As I have said before, I think all of the four singles we have had could easily have replaced songs on Chinese Democracy. Replacing If The World, This I Love, Scraped and Riad, with Perhaps, Hardskool, Absurd and The General would have made that record much, much better... in my subjective opinion. Not only that, but these four singles are very varied from simple straight-forward rocker like Hardskool, to punkish rarity like Absurd, to mid-tempo and introspective piano-driven ballad like Perhaps, and to the more experimental fusion of styles with very heavy subject matter like The General. Not sure I agree they don't have the same "attention to detail" as songs off Chinese Democracy.

plus you've got Monsters and Axl doesn't seem to choose what he releases going by how AAA it is. he released Absurd first, those village leaks are old like you said and just a small piece of the recording puzzle. seems easy to enough to understand even if you don't like the 4 tunes released so far. doesn't mean you won't like the next one, if released/leaked.

one thing though, Chris Robinson still sounds like a powerhouse of bluesy singing and his voice sounds like a perfect fit for Slash. the roundness of the production with the punch from mike clink makes it sounds like a million dollars. and it's a cover. Slash does throw curve balls sometimes, I think The Pusher will sound brilliant.

my guess is not even Axl knows if/when. broad strokes at the most it seems for now with all the endless touring and material is being released. I can see it happening eventually when Axl puts more of his focus on it, if he hasn't at least thought about how to put it together already.

we don't know enough either way so I'll never rule Gn'R going out with a bang out until the band is over or Axl says it and there must be a reason of why he keeps it open, not ruling it out and Duff and Slash seems hopeful that another album will happen eventually, that's the only way to read it imho.

"When" is the word.

just to be accurate with my opinion, I believe there's a real chance it's never going to happen when it comes to a brand new Gn'R album/hybrid with brand new tunes released, but it's still possible for the reasons I've specified.

Well I didn't say anything about misleading... But what you said isn't entirely true. He said they needed to finish off shows in 2023 and then they were going to work on a record. It was a pretty definitive answer. I don't think he said that knowing it wasn't going to happen though. Axl has his reasons why they haven't got it together, I highly doubt anyone but him knows that answer.

 

thing is that I think that Axl isn't talking cause he knows it's probably a good idea not to say anything until it's close to or complete, not because lack of interst or ability cause he works on his own time and isn't in any rush especially with Chinese era material still being released. it seems like it's one thing at a time when it comes to when he wants things to happen and it also depends on when he feels like doing it and it could be a very stop/start project without normal work flow if you know what I mean.

I don't doubt that. Slash has definitely got some good songs in him if he's motivated! And Axl is good at picking Slash's better ideas. The collaboration between the two could be great IF they can get in a room together and write. Which I think they are getting closer to doing. I said it loads of times but Slash likes to write on the road, I'm sure he's sent files to Axl and I'm sure there's things Axl has earmarked. But Axls sense of time is beyond your average persons understanding and when he will give the go ahead is anyone's guess so Slash saying that was as accurate an update as he could give... Although he is a sly fox so he also has been know to mislead!

slash has not mislead once since he rejoined Gn'R if we want to be accurate. Duff is also a strong songwriter, he latest work gives me hope that the 3 of them can come up with a final statement in a form of an album, maybe made with some older material completely reworked as well.

Axl has been touring doing 3 hour shows for a long time. that's prbably considerd work for him. Slash and Duff and the current lineup are always there for him when he needs them to put another piece in the album puzzle that's how I see it. they don't need to be in the room for most of the time to accomplish this great undertaking but there is still time to slack off and still get it done in Axl time is my honest opinion.

does Axl wants to make a final musical statement with Gn'R? my guess is he does.

Lol. When I was new here I was like, “whats the deal with these guys?”. I thought it was just me, then I realized many disliked them. Very unhinged esp brain who would call me names for no reason.

a lot of unresolved anger and some jokes but wasted posts there and he's great imo, others just need a hug but the place has its moments imho

True, but that might never happen though. All that we can do is go by what we have heard and the rumoured tracklisting. 

For me the shine on that material has worn off and I don't care all that much to ever hear the rest. Each song that comes out has a curiosity factor that makes me listen but none keep me hooked... Well, Perhaps gets a pass I have listened to that a fair bit.

potentially I  believe the current lineup could come up with great Gn'R material

I suppose one day we'll know

....just about outliving Axl potentially....Team Brazil will bleed us dry when all the tour money dries up in Axl's afterlife. If Axl doesn't get to it...I think we can revist these points and questions 10 years from now and see if we have some A's to the Q's. 🤞

I believe Axl could do it in his lifetime, maybe he'll be in the mood to get to it at some point. Slash seems optimitic. my guess is there's no shortage of good ideas, but Axl works in slow motion.

Well we've heard a fair few to draw some conclusions. Atlas included. I don't know how much more material was intended for CDII but that's a first half of a record there or more, so the remainder would need to be A++ materia. So I can't write off what I haven't heard true, but what I have had no excited me like hearing Better, Madagascar or I.R.S back when they first appeared.

Of course I would love to hear something great though! I'm sure there's something in that vault that could be fucking brilliant.🤞that monsters and Atlas aren't the only other songs coming out way! 

won't know until you hear the full version of cd ll from 2008 technically speaking

Pass. The Batman was terrible so I have no interest in a spinoff.

It can't not be vague, because Slash knows better that it's not predictable when Axl finishes (or starts) doing something, what mood he's in at a given time, whether he changes his mind, etc.

it's a confiramtion that Slash is optimistic about Axl doing a final album eventually and is always open to do his parts is my guess. it's a nice reminder that no one is saying no kind of a thing. soon is not the word.

Nice thing about music is, you don’t have to choose. You can listen to more than one version. Killing Floor is the best example. I read many comments saying we don’t need another version of the song, because Jimi Hendrix version will not be topped. I don’t care really. I can listen to Hendrix version, to the Lemon song and I can listen to the new version without a problem. I can prefer the one over the other and still listen to all of them.

and if you're a hardcore Slash fan it's always nice to hear the Slash flavor on anything really

I don't saw it movie, she said it?  Mi take was an joke about you spanish language post, then my reply was the same post on english language 

yeah in the movie it's an alien that loves chicken and Bruce Willis

the Perhaps music video is really well made and editing is also great. really makes a more emotional connection with the tune. I feel like they went for it with the ballad and it reminds me of the PC music video so it's a cool thing Gn'R did imo also representing the curent lineup in a proper way.
