Is this a real post or a wind up? Axl has released 1 album in like 30 years. An album that came out against his will as well. They do solo projects because Axl is not interested in making music. For the CD era songs that Slash reworked, I guarantee he did all his parts in like a day or two many years ago.

The YouTube videos don’t do his voice justice

Slash released a solo album that was largely collaborative efforts. But it was all his material and ideas which is why it’s classified as solo. CD era is the same. It’s almost all Axls stuff with other people just adding parts. Even with Slash in Guns, I still consider that Axls solo stuff I think it would be really cool if he released a bunch of that stuff as a solo artist. And hopefully one day they get together and make something together as Guns N Roses.

You’re probably right. But CD was supposedly a trilogy and Slash gave the impression that they only reworked like 6 songs. Maybe Axl can see that those songs are not going down well with Guns fans so might release other stuff separately. Probably the most likely scenario is that nothing at all happens until a new tour is announced

I always thought it would have made more sense to release his solo stuff as a solo artist so hopefully this is him doing that. Get rid of all that Chinese stuff and do a Guns album with Guns

The whole relationship with Beta is very bizarre. I always get the impression that he’s completely dependent on her

I guess Duff announcing shows later in the year confirms that Guns is done for 2024 at least. I wonder will they come back next year? Also wonder whether I really want them to if touring and Monster is all they’ve got.

Slash probably will work but more likely on a smkc album. At some point we’ll get the “We’re f*ckin back” tour with another NITL set and months of speculation on when they’ll play Monsters.

Axl can release songs without Slash on lead guitar if he wants. But would Slash stay in Guns? I’m sure they’re all more mellow these days but I don’t think Slash would have that. He’d just leave and focus on other projects. And I think Axl needs Slash a lot more than Slash needs Axl these days.

Whenever I see these arguments it always makes me sad that Axl just didn’t release this music 20 years ago with whoever the band was back then and just be done with it. Axl should just do brand new music with Slash that is closer to Slash’s style. For the Chinese stuff, just release it or can it. I think everyone but Axl and Sweersa are well over it by now.

This is awesome. Much better than I expected. Love the guitar playing and the whole sound. Much more enjoyable to me than the old songs Guns are releasing.

You can sign up now on his instagram to hear a clip of Oh Well. Sounds pretty cool

This was a part of the setlist at a recent GNR show Guitar Solo, SCOM, NR, This I Love, Yesterdays, KOHD Thats probably 45 mins of ballads But this thread wasn’t really intended as a setlist bash. More just hopeful that they’ll do something very different next time they’re back.

Fully agree and that’s exactly what I mean. Estranged is obviously a great song but it sucks the energy out of the show for sure. Especially where it’s placed in the set. Rocket Queen is a great song. Would love to hear it live one day without the jams and noodling.
