ShadowOfTheWave Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I didn't like it at first, now I enjoy most of the songs. I don't think it works as an album though, the songs are better appreciated individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
combos Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I expect nothing, and we'll get nothing. Maybe some South American tour I don't give a shit about and probably won't even notice.You can't possibly know what we'll get. Axl said CD ll was done and that it's time to seriously look into it. (how to get it released)Axl says a lot of fucking things lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jthunders13 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 New AC/DC is just coming out...still no new Metallica...both released before Chinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfTheWave Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 At least Metallica is playing new material on their never ending tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovim Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Does CD ll have an official title at least? what is it? even small things like that are unknown to us. What damage can it cause to what Axl is trying to do? everything's a fuckin' secret like they're building a bomb or something.Why not post another Axl essay on the official site or Gn'R's facebook page giving us what we need most, information? 6 years after Chinese, why can't they throw us a bone? just a real indication it's on.I believe it's coming, but the wait doesn't have to be so painful imo. Look what Slash did to hype his new release with the youtube thing they did, playing snippets from songs. It was great. I can't even imagine Axl doing things like that.Why so insecure Axl? a lot of fans here want to hear more music from you. Not even a pic of Fernando conducting one of his glorious 3 hour meetings.

Like I've said, he has no reason to mention how the album is done other then to show his intentions to release it in the near future. If he had no plans to release it, the best thing to do would have been to not say anything about it. Edited November 24, 2014 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skid_bach Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) Loved Chinese Democracy, I listen to it every week since the launch (no kidding) the only weak point of the album is not to be double Edited November 24, 2014 by skid_bach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Bonham Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 (edited) New AC/DC is just coming out...still no new Metallica...both released before Chinese.Why does Lulu not count? If Axl teamed-up with David Bowie and released a concept album tomorrow, would you not count it as new music? And what about Beyond Magentic? If Axl released an EP of leftovers from the Chinese sessions, would you just dismiss it? Let's play fair.

WAR41 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I cannot believe it has been 6 years. Goddamn time sure does fly. Still the only song on CD I consider to be an amazing song is There Was a Time. Such a great song and the only song I go back to on that album. Sure, I'll listen to some other songs very rarely (Madagascar & IRS primarily), but it is mostly a forgettable album for me. In my opinion, the worst songs from CD (in order) are Scraped, Sorry and If the World. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I expect the next two years to be the same as the past two years. Same old shows, not much else. Even Axl can't tour forever without releasing new material. He showed interest in releasing it, saying he would "love to" do it.If it's really finished why the fuck he doesn't release it? I don't believe it's finished. I do believe that it's in the works. I do believe it's almost done, but almost done for years now and Axl's perfectionism and his mental issues just won't allow him to release it anytime "soon".This guy isn't the only person in the world who has to deal with record labels and what not. But it's like ... nobody else gets stressed more by this kind of shit. Axl said in 2006 that 26 songs were done out of 32. Take out what we have (14 songs) and it's at least 12 unreleased songs that are done, probably 18.Axl also said recently CD ll is done. He has no real reason to lie about that. It will only cause more backlash and expectations from the fans if it's not true so it doesn't really seem likely imo.Isn't that answer enough? 26 done songs in 2006. Still he needed 2 years to release 14 songs out of 26.It doesn't matter how many songs he's got or if he says CDII is done. Only question matters is: when will Axl be in the "mood" to release his material. Either it's that or he is lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoGer99 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 But one of the good things on CD is you understand the songs better if you broke up with a girl (At least I found it ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dando Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Chinese is a great album , only scraped and riad are poor for me, just there as album fillers .

The problem is that his moods and views on things changes from day to day, hour to hour. He may wake up tomorrow and feel like he wants to get shit rolling and then two days later, be in some self loathing state where there's no point etc. Edited November 24, 2014 by combos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 New AC/DC is just coming out...still no new Metallica...both released before Chinese.I'm a little confused by your comment and how it has any relevence to GnR's current situation.AC/DCThey have released 19 albums worth of material, 4 live albums and an EP. And two box sets.MetallicaSince 1991 Metallica has released 10 albums and 4 EPS. Plus two Box Sets.I'm confused as to why you would choose those two bands to compare Axl's lack of interest in releasing music for his fans with, as I'm positive that all of us here would love it if Axl had shared as much music with his fans as Metallica/AC/DC have shared with their fans.If GnR ha a large catalog of back material then FANS wouldn't be so dissapointed with Axl's lack of interest of sharing his music with us. AC/DC has 19 albums to enjoy - we have four. That's quite a difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustycage Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Adding Slash to CD would probably make it better but you still can't polish a turd. To suggest GNR fans would love it just because Slash would be on it is total crap. The songs are boring. The lyrics are weak. The tone of the album is total Butthurt. The supposed rockers are vague generic garbage. It's the worst group of songs in the whole GNR catalog. It makes no difference if Slash is on it or not.

Nosaj Thing Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Saying that every Gn'R fan would have loved CD had the album included Slash, it's utter bullshit. A "Slash" can fix that album because the guitar parts were not the issue, the issue was Axl Rose.Change everything you want but keep Axl Rose, the album still sucks.

Rustycage Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Songs like IRS, Sorry, If the World and Scraped would have been laughed out of a original GNR studio session. The only way to fix that mess is to send it to the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
