Popular Post patiencepatience Posted January 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2018 For those not familiar, crazydaysandnights.net is an underground celebrity gossip blog run by a group of shadowy anonymous sources within the biz...or so they say. Almost all of the rumors they post are blind meaning they do NOT reveal who they are posting about, just enough detail to make it discernible to the educated guesser. There's a blind item up today that HAS to be GNR. I PRAY TO THE....LET IT BE!!!! http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2018/01/himmmm-blind-item-4.html 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shimagaijin Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Interesting. The alimony bit in the story rings a certain bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson87 Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Not sure of the credibility of the site since anyone can claim to be an insider these days. Sounds like GN'R if it's true tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Can't say I'm convinced. I'd imagine the band, along with Caram, would work on it themselves. Edited January 19, 2018 by Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a great point. And I dont think theres anything to this. But for fun, I could speculate that since Caram is someone who Slash and Duff havent worked with that an executive producer could be brought in to give just such perimeters as the post states. Also Rubin is basically only an executive producer and those stipulations sound enough like him. Rubin has been a go to for bands in this type of position. Caram could still engineer, co produce and finish it up the way he did CD? But yeah, its likely nothing and this thread likely wont last long Edited January 19, 2018 by soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted January 19, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 19, 2018 Definitely interesting, but it's all pretty vague. And fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck I hope Rubin is not producing anything related to Guns. People can shit on Chinese Democracy's production all they want, but I have 100% confidence that Axl/Caram would produce a better Guns record than Rubin... 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really thought the production was good but it was so compressed on the guitar end for alot of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the production too, for the most part. But if people thought CD sounded like a mess, wait till they hear Rubin's approach to Axl's hundred-layer tracks...

Tom2112 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Sounds like GNR. Now, if it is GNR and they are making an all new record, and they want a "comeback" album, then the only producer I can think of that fits that bill is Rick Rubin. Now, some of ye have already said it about the mixes for Rubin records, and I agree! But, even if they were ceding control to the producer, they (Axl) would not let him decide on the mix, that would be down to the band first as well as the producer and if you listen to the records any of the three released, none of them are brick walled, loud yes, but not compressed so much that there's no dynamic left in the mix. My 2nd guess would be Brendan O'Brien seen as Slash and Duff worked with him on Libertad, he was the AC/DC producer for the last few records, and he's a huge name. He'd be a great choice, because 1. he works quick and 2. he likes to record on the floor and have a livelier sound, and after CD that's what people want to hear. I'd love to see Bob Rock producing but I don't see it. End of the day, this is a rumour website so who knows, I mean there's 5/6 months before they have to hit the road, maybe they work up to then, do a summer tour vacation, and head back in to finish the record at the end of the year... I would love to see them work that fast, but I also an't see it happening, there's several members that can work that fast, and one guy who has proven time and time again that he doesn't work that way, so we'll see!

Modano09 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm surprised they'd give so much power to a producer but maybe that's the only way Axl/Slash agreed to do it? Neither of them can be in control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 It sounds more like KISS to me. For those guys it really is now or never to do it considering their age and that Paul and Gene have worked with Ace recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine now they would want to try more than have Axl sitting around listening but never singing while Slash noodles. All those other guesses seem dumb to me in that comment section, Bon Jovi said never say never, VH, LZ and Oasis has not recently toured. I'm not familiar with Journey, BS, Pink Floyd, Smiths, Kinks so don't know how much those fit the bill. GNR does tick all the boxes though but I still believe it is KISS Edited January 19, 2018 by StrangerInThisTown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Oh shit totally forgot about SP that might be it then, that makes even more sense. Can't imagine Axl wanting to give full control to a producer actually either. "If a band member departs" sounds like something that would not happen with GNR too, who would leave that cash rain right now? As if there's danger Frank or Fortus would now suddenly depart, or Slash or Duff for that matter..not gonna happen.

They already blew their "comeback" album by marketing the 2007 album as it. They do fit the "half-hearted collaborative efforts" though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're mostly a Billy Corgan solo project using the Smashing Pumpkins name, but original members made guest appearances at a couple of concerts last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
