Ok this might derail the thread but I gotta get into this: Yes he is right about the creativity aspect, but he's forgetting one major thing, that just started existing within this last year: which is the advancement in AI technology which also influences the "studio magic" that is possible. With the advancements of AI technology in just this year alone (it's in it's infancy), Axl can pretty much record and sound like he did on Appetite, aslong as he can still hit the notes (which he can, albeit in his clean tone). He didn't lose his range, he just lost the rasp which is really demanding vocally, and of course you can't keep up that singing style for 30+ years. This is the reason why people like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler still sound so good, they sang more with their natural tone. But now in a studio setting, he can record with the clean vocals and apply an AI created Axl voice filter on it, which works kind of like a guitar effect pedal (but just on his recorded voice instead) and have him sound like his 1987 self with the rasp completely added onto the vocals by the AI which works by feeding it with soundclips of his isolated studio vocals from AFD/UYI. People are already doing this with other singers, just applying an AI Axl onto the voice and it sometimes already sounds dead on, so when he does it with his own vocals, it'll sound pretty much perfect. So GNR can release as much music as they want, aslong as Axl actually starts working on it.

Someones gotta be paying for this shit, so it's gotta be used for something. No one pays bills and website designers just to do jack shit with it. There's gotta be an idea behind it when he just doesn't do what everyone else does these days, which is just to use your Instagram. Solo album seems far fetched I agree, and a book is kind of doubtful aswell. So I'm still interested to see what the reason for it to exist is.

As sad as this sounds that would be on par for the course of half-ass jobs that GNR world continues to take part in. Literally doing 0 research and putting FAKE quotes of the person whose website you were just paid to launch. Incredible

If you think the quotes are AI generated, how does one of them appear on his official website then? Because it does, but yet no one is aware of that one, even the most hardcore fans.

I agree, but then the question remains where that quote comes from. It now appears on his website, but if no one even on here recognizes it, and we are all hardcore enough to post on a GNR fan forum, that is strange? So maybe it is drawn from a pool of information that is not available yet, comes directly from an official source, like Axl himself, or a book?

One of them is on his official website. So how can it be fake?

But even if it is AI, that quote is now on Axls official website. So it has to be connected somehow, I never heard of it somewhere else, neither does anyone so far?

Well, just coincidentally, this year outside of GNR we have news of the Children of the Revolution cover coming out soon (which has Elton on it) and the Michael Schenker track with Slash

"releasing albums under his own name" would only make sense if it's either AI or a solo album release is imminent.

That entire page seems written by someone commissioned, or approved by Axl. I don't recognize these "famous" quotes either lol. Does @Blackstar? If not then I believe this is an official thing written to sell a book or something.

You were still right about the missing quotation mark though lol, so you still have a point

This seems really out of time, it's strange to launch your own website in 2024 when you would have the biggest, and fastest reach possible just using Instagram. Will be interesting to see what this is used for

The entire topic of collecting used bandaids shouldn't even be given a chance to continue on in a new thread and should be banished to satans deepest level of hell

I miss the person I was 5 minutes ago before I decided to catch up on this thread

Honestly if they have some actual good songs like Oklahoma in the can, and break out some more UYI cuts like Breakdown, Shotgun Blues and The Garden, that would be enough to go on another tour without a new album. I'd go see that. But just going out with Monsters and Atlas seems a bit thin, but they will probably do that if the demand is there ticket wise.
