axlinkafayette Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 The entire time from 1996 thru 2002 they were either fully working on the album or touring. Then from 2003-2005 there was basically nothing happening, then a flurry of activity since 2006 till last summer.I would say, at this point in time, GUNS N' ROSES no longer is an active band, they are effectively dead.Thoughts/comments?

Estranged Coma Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) The entire time from 1996 thru 2002 they were either fully working on the album or touring.What?Ig he means in 97 8 9 they were talking about making the album and people saying they were in studio new members coming in and such. What we have here is failure to communicate. Nu guns baring a miracle is on her last breaths, the industry is slowly, ruthlessly sucking the life out of her, until all that's left is a soulless monster.

Estranged Coma Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 By industry you mean Axl right?I liken Axl more of the monster, thinks his cause is righteous, but really he's just drowning himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IncitingChaos Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think Axl is much less certain of what he wants to do after Bumble left. He could rebuild, but what's the point. He's mid 50's now and things are just not as promising for Guns N Roses as they were 15 years ago. I say go solo or go for the reunion. I think if Axl wants to create and perform then these are his best options. We are way past building a NuGNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well as quite as it all is I can say that we had worse before. At least these days we can still see them posting on social media etc. That may not feel like much but it is something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 GNR's had a history of putting new songs in movie soundtracks, so maybe that's where the next new song will show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangoSkank Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) There has absolutely been a more dead time. 2002 - 2006 was a complete wasteland. All we had to go on was the occasional Tommy interview where he would say "Oh yeah, we're in the final stages of it," or something. It was especially bad because the tour got cancelled, Axl didn't speak to the press and Buckethead left. Now, at least, they've toured in the last year or so. The biggest news in that four year gap was when Axl showed up at the strip club in Vegas and when he went to a Korn after-party.If we can survive that, we can survive anything.

pockets Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I'd pretty much say 2015 is a dead period for guns n roses right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Castaneda Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's over. But don't think he wants to create new music with any of the current band mates and I don't think he wants to deal with another album release of the Chinese leftovers. I just don't know where he could possibly take it. For me personally I don't need to hear the unreleased music and I don't know think another tour will have much meaning to me.

Silent Jay Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 GNR's had a history of putting new songs in movie soundtracks, so maybe that's where the next new song will show up. The perfect next move would be releasing Oklahoma/Berlin on the new Clint Eastwood with Dicaprio and Jonah Hill in olympic bomb drama. Axl is friends with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandallFlagg Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Rock in Rio 11 was the funeral when it ought've been another birthing of an intriguing GNR era... we've done all the last 4 years but much better on the goddamn Chinese Democracy tours since 01... but Axl has a very difficult time approaching change and finishing things when they ought to be discarded and built upon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlinkafayette Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I just can't see there ever being another album, any "new" music coming out.Its reunion or bust at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The rumor that CD II was rejected by the label in 2010 makes sense of everything. Lets hit dunkin donuts and launch this thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Perhaps as in the earlier hiatuses we could at least delude ourselves into thinking he was 'making a masterpiece'. Now we know two things. First that Axl cannot make masterpieces without the old band - Chinese Democracy is proof of this. Secondly, he is not working on anything right now and is in fact completely lazy. So with this particular period of non-activity there is nothing to cling onto unlike the earlier hiatuses.

Gackt Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 People seem to forget the band's on a hiatusNothing's going to happen until an announcement is made otherwise, it's why most of the band members are doing other projects 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 He will come back again in 2016, they will do another Vegas Residency, more tours, I can't give you the guarantee of a new album, most prob Ron will also come back, he is enjoying his small tours playing in front of 50 to 100 people but that wont make his kitchen runI don't think so the label rejected CD 2 in 2010, if they had done that then Axl would have gone haywire and would have said it in the media/social media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
