Axl has his own Website now
AxlRoseCDII replied to kingcanyon's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
10 bucks says this will literally never be updated again or lead to anything. Axl starts projects, probably does put serious work on them, and then does nothing with them or it fails to materialize. This is a pattern of over 20 years and until proven otherwise I will assume nothing will change. -
Your favorite Axl Rose notes? 😀🤔💡
AxlRoseCDII replied to Karice's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
One of the best Axl lines of all time is the Nightrain from 2009 where he just does the first verse an entire octave higher. Not sure if it’s cheating to count that in its entirety for this thread, but ive never seen him do something like that before or after, and it was one of the best and most underrated Axl moments of all time. -
I do feel like I’ve personally gotten closure as a CD fan and don’t really know if I care about a new album happening anymore. We’ve already basically gotten CDII at this point, between the 5 reunion tracks, Atlas, Going Down, SoG and Nothing. There’ll always be a few stray titles that we’ll never hear anything about but generally speaking, I’m fine with the discography ending here and probably won’t be ever expecting new music again. If it happens, great, if not, we have gotten the absolute bare minimum of what CDII could’ve been.

Children Of The Revolution
AxlRoseCDII replied to Gordon Comstock's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Cool news, but like with everything GNR, I’ll believe it when I see it. This could very well just be another GNR project we never hear another thing about, especially if Axl is in charge of mixing his vocals. I’m hoping between this and the other rumored cover we’ll at least hear something with Axl this year. -
I agree that Axl doesn’t see time or aging the same way any of us do. I think what’s interesting is how he used to say Sillkworms/Absurd was the next single back in the early 2010’s, and look what happened. Same sort of principle of him thinking he is young or seasoned enough to bust out songs like Black in Back in 2022 before realizing he sounds like dogshit on it. In Axl’s mind, the new 4 are really “the new songs”. He would refer to Hard Skool as a new single over a year after release.

Killing Floor - Slash feat. Brian Johnson
AxlRoseCDII replied to Free Bird's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
No Axl is monumentally dissapointing. Guess those two are just never going to collaborate on a piece of new music for the rest of their lives? How hard would it have been for Axl to drag his lazy ass into a studio for one day to help out his friend who saved his entire band from playing bowling clubs? -
The worst possible thing Axl could do is a show like this. He would expose the horrible state of his voice to 10's of millions of people. There would be viral memes, news articles, and it would genuinely be some of the worst publicity he's received in his life. If you enjoy being a GNR fan you better damn hope he never agrees to do it.

Guns N' Roses Streaming Numbers
AxlRoseCDII replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
I really think if you released the same exact album and just said Slash played on it, it would’ve done 10x better. There would be many casuals and possibly fans who would’ve then felt they had the right to appreciate the music and wouldn’t feel like they automatically hated it. It’s a great album with many highlights that never got the love it deserved. -
The General Music Video Discussion Thread
AxlRoseCDII replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
This is complete shit. This is unironically one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life. What a fucking disgrace to this band’s legacy. -
“Get ready for something F’n special.. 1.24.24”
AxlRoseCDII replied to GNR 1991's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
This one screams to me no one on the band had any creative input. The company probably just made the video with clips and AI and sold it to GNR. Extremely soulless and embarrassing, I can’t believe this pile of shit will be in the same catalog as the November Rain and Estranged videos. Hell, this makes the Perhaps video look like a geniune masterpiece. -
“Get ready for something F’n special.. 1.24.24”
AxlRoseCDII replied to GNR 1991's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
AI is sheer laziness. With this bands money generated they really can’t afford to pay artists? -
If GNR actually had a future with albums and a genuine need to keep Axl’s voice sharp, then yes, in retrospect it would’ve been a mistake. Considering instead they’ve become more or less a nostalgia band and whatever songs they release use ancient vocals anyways, it wasn’t a mistake, and Axl may as well have gone out with a bang if he was going to destroy his voice anyways.

Well everyone, it was a fun ride. Would’ve never guessed we’d get The General this year. For me personally I think the discography has closed and ended so I see this as the end of the era. Not saying nothing else will never happen but I don’t expect anything and don’t feel like there’s a lot left. These 5 songs + some demos makes me feel like we have heard CDII.

what is your ranking of all GNR songs after 94
AxlRoseCDII replied to AxlRQ93's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
It’s incredibly stupid but I’m surprised how much it ruins it for people. It’s short and I just move on and enjoy the song. -

GNR members on tour during the break
AxlRoseCDII replied to JAxlMorrison's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
And meanwhile, Axl will continue to do nothing besides play GTA and vaguely tweet about politics. -
Can’t find the old thread but just wanted to talk about this song for a second. Ive been listening to “Nothing” quite a bit recently. Something about it is so interesting to me. I try not to take it too seriously since it was probably only a proof of concept with scratch lines and lyrics, but there’s a part of me that see it’s as this almost heavenly, otherworldly song. Even the way the drums are, they feel like they have an echo or something I can’t describe. It’s so mysterious as well because this song was just never (afaik) talked about by the band, never even treated as anything seriously minus that .txt list mentioning it that I see discussed a lot. I assume this song would be cut from any future releases. Doesn’t strike me as the type of song Slash and Duff would care for, and even if they did, we need to hear stuff like Atlas, SOG, Seven, etc first. Would be a fantastic album closer. Does anyone else like this song or is it just universally considered a turd?

Axl Sued For Sexual Assault
AxlRoseCDII replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
If that evidence exists, then yes, the defense is in a good spot. -
Axl Sued For Sexual Assault
AxlRoseCDII replied to downzy's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Armchair legal analyst here. So, as many have said, this likely will settle. I’d also like to say I am not taking side on this case yet and want to see how it plays out. If it does go to trial, the defense is going to have an uphill battle. The plantiff gets to present their case and show their evidence in the form of testimonies and potentially witnesses. Now, if you’re the defense, what do you argue? You can’t run a case just saying “it didn’t happen”. So likely what will happen is the defense won’t run a case besides questioning witnesses and attacking credibility. Which might be possible- im not sure how much evidence exists for the plantiff. But one thing to remember is civil trials are not “guilty beyond a reasonable doubt”, it’s more about “is it more true than not true”. In the court of public opinion I wouldn’t be surprised if Axl is to be considered liable. He doesn’t have a great reputation in his heyday due to his mental state, and you can bet the plantiff will be attacking that and bringing it up any turn. The defense’s best bet is to bring up conflicting writings that the Plantiff has made and put her on blast for that. But you can bet she’s preparing her response for it and will be rehearsing that. In short, Axl has so much money that he should just settle. Having this drag out in the media and get more publicity probably isn’t worth it for him or the band.
