YEEEEEESSSSSSSS! 

I have no idea how some people could really want SMKC to continue on the back of GN'R becoming one of the biggest bands in the world again. While i respect the crew as performers, i just found the project generic and Myles' voice uninteresting. In any case, this is good news for everyone. Those who like Myles can go and listen to his solo stuff and Alter Bridge. Slash is better contributing to Guns, who hopefully will get in the studio soon.

Well, how likely is it that we'll get new GNR music? I'd prefer it any day of the week over SMKC but chances of new music are way bigger with SMKC. That means in worst case Guns won't release anything, Myles'll tour his album and then AB will tour their new album at least till 2020. That's 6 years without new music at all. Another 3 years without new music!

In this case I'd prefer a new SMKC record over continuing the NITL tour

Great news!!

 

As I don't want to travel to another country to see a shorter festival set and prefer watching them in other venues than football stadiums there aren't really mmuch choices left.

I guess this leaves Goffertpark and tallinn (the venue there looks amazing)

 

As it's still labeld as NITL tour I guess we can't expect any major changes to the setlist

Unless they'll release a new record and call it Not In This Lieftime 

Considering I don't have to travel I'll see them in Gelsenkirchen.

Not in the newspaper I read, but I am sure it was mentioned in Dagbladet and VG.

I'd rather have The Conspirators anyday as they release albums regularly

[AVeljkovic_97]

Without new album I doubt I will pass again 1000+ km in one way. They must organize Balkan concert or at least Hungary. Lot of fans would arrive just for the gig from Serbia...

More shows are coming for Europe.

the band could break the record of the biggest tour in music history and beat U2 360 Tour next year.

How do you know more shows are coming?

No they won't break. Another 100 mil isnt enough... U2 sits at 730mil..

Yeah, first show is usually shaky but sometimes they’ll try something for one or two shows and then drop it.

True, and I was one of the two people who knew what was going on  seen it twice now actually

I'd rather have Guns releasing albums! but if it's just guns touring and touring and touring then I'll go with the conspirators, for the above reasons

You know you'll get a song like Wicked Stone or Anastasia every year with The Conspirators. I saw this guns news and thought, 'oh bloody hell, the same old stodge' - I could only interpret it as bad news - but everyone else seems delirious so what do I know. Smaller venues also, with the Conspirators. They'll also not rip you off.

Despite the (understandable) pessimistic outlook on GN'R music, i do think we will get at least one album in the future. It's a logical step, both creatively and commercially. People are clamoring for new music, and releasing an album will allow the band to reach a newer and larger audience while also giving them renewed reasons to tour. There is nothing indicating a GN'R tour into 2019, and (as is evident thus far) there will be a 6 month break after this leg ends. There's no reason why Axl and co. can't put some stuff together in the meantime, play some new songs live in June 2018, and release a studio album late in the year or 2019.

That doesn't mean shit when most of it sounds the same. Slash's riffs are cool, but Myles is grating and doesn't do anything for me personally. I respect him as a talented musician, and respect those who like him, but if you want more of Myles, you can go and watch his solo stuff and AB.

[starlight]

Willing to go, but it's going to be their third year of touring and we stll haven't heard one single new song from this band ,the setlist is identical every show they play,as it's been said at least with SMKC we would have an album every two year.

I can't believe Slash is going through this cash grabbing without new music 

[Italian girl]

I think a new single is coming..

I'm not sure about a new single, but given that Brain and Melissa performed a remixed version of Sorry and If the World at a recent sports event, it sounds as if Axl may be getting more lenient or interested in having some stuff out there. I imagine that the performance would have required his permission...

Problem is, there is no logical behavior when it comes to GNR. Everything is possible, but most likely nothing will happen.

I disagree that most of it sounds the same. Besides, I don't hear Slash records for Myles but rather accept that it's him on vocals. Myles solo music or AB does nothing for me.

You have fair points. 

We all know logic is nonexistent in the world of Guns, but it is now an association made up of Axl, Slash and Duff, who each have their own managers. I'm sure almost everyone will be chomping at the bit for anything which will bring more money their way. Now that there are more inter-band forces at play, and now that the band knows they are one of the biggest entities in the industry again, i do expect a chance that new music will be produced.

We can agree to disagree. I think Slash provides some semblance of variety in SMKC, but i think most of it comes off as generic. Myles' vocals don't help the case, but i suppose you are correct that most here are more interested in Slash's contributions than Myles'. In any case, i'm sure most would prefer Slash to remain with Guns, who we know are putting together new stuff outside of the studio.

[MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle]

I'm at the point where I'd bet money on new music.  When, I don't know.  They could do something with the '6 months off' (be nice if they've already written and demo'd new material then the next 6 months could be mixing etc ready for showcasing on the next tour).  Or maybe it'll be for 2019.

Besides, the other day, someone on Meegan's insta commented something along the lines of, 'we need new music, it's been long enough' and Meegan liked this.  And then there was Meegan's, 'you'll have to wait to hear new music' a while back for the soundless soundcheck that time.  It's gonna happen.
