Popular Post JoeyBananaduck Posted January 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2018 My band has sold vastly less records than Guns N' Roses. My band doesn't play venues as big as Guns N' Roses. My band's box office is considerably less than Guns N' Roses. My band is bigger than Guns N' Roses! 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you make up a rumour saying "Kim Kardashian is a lesbian" that will spread over all the media and it's worth it. Most of the population couldn't care less about a GNR album, that would make a small headline for like one day so its not worth making that up. I disagree... Let's not forget that when Axl was seen without a hat in 2012 he was trending in Yahoo and Facebook for 2 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Order of Nine Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Guns will release new music. The bigger questions are how, are they still under a contract? Is there any definite contract obligations for an album? If not I could see an independent release. And who will be at the producers helm for the next release? Those are the bigger questions.

It's a double album like UYI and we will all be very pleased. I met Axl and the others and it was kinda awkward but they were nice and let me listen to it. I said something like "Oh, hi Axl, people think you're crazy. Are you crazy?" Give us a rundown of the tracks then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This already happened to me, I spent a good part of the day with that dream in my head but I couldn´t remember the songs. Anyway, after read all those comments and "learn" a little bit about this prodution thing I'm feeling able to give my two cents..No one of the bands mentioned over here can fit better than GNR on this rumor. IMO, the point is not if the text is talking about GNR (to me it is), the point is if this rumor has any truth on it or it´s just another crazy guy trying to make fun with us.

Popular Post DieselDaisy Posted January 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2018 It is rather hard to compare the two as Radiohead are a still a relevant act, albeit a middle aged one, whereas Guns now solely exist as this big branded legacy machine. Further, Radiohead are/were never really 'populistic' in the same way Guns N' Roses were, the possible exception being 'Creep' at the beginning of their career. They're more artsy-fartsy and 'studenty' than Guns N' Roses and their personnel are, either by design or deliberation, low-key types whereas Axl and Slash are these big cartoonesque figures. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct...I've never liked Radiohead and only saw them once at a club in Chicago on their 2nd album, but my wife does like them a lot. They still do release music here and there but they're probably on the brink of being a nostalgia act like Pearl Jam is. However, they are still massive and sell out almost every show they play. Their crowds are totally different than the one that Guns draws. Let's just see how Guns does now that the reunion thing has died out and if they do release new music. They'll always be able to fill arenas if Slash, and to a lesser extent Duff, are in the band, but it'll be interesting to see what will happen if they do release new music. If this garbage Def Leppard/Journey tour can play some stadiums in the States like they're booked for this summer, Guns should be able to do the same in certain cities, at least with a bigger name opening band than what they've used so far.

Blackstar Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) 7 hours ago, soon said: I wonder what kinda stipulations (if any) were put on Aerosmith when they reunited in the studio. They leaned heavily on their A&R and had outside writers, was this a producers call? To be clear I do not think there will be outside writers, but maybe theres other similarities to be found? Also... My local rock station plays a ZZ Top song every three tracks. To fill the remaining space they rotate through: - Jeff Healy's "Angel Eyes" - Tom Cochrane's "Life Is A Highway" - Boston's "More Than a Feeling" - A band called The Headstones entire catalogue. 30% must be Canadian Content after all. They used to have the Ronnie Wood show which was awesome. They dont play GNR but they did, sparingly, around the week of the announcement for NITL. I knew I had a bad station, but after hearing these reports from all over the world now Im pissed. Maybe it was a stipulation from the label. Isn't there a rumour that Interscope tried at one point to make Axl work with outside writers for CD? If Axl/the GnR brand is still under contract with Interscope, maybe, even with Slash and Duff back, the label would want to put conditions in order to finance the album (although they have enough money now to finance it themselves). Not outside writers, but probably ceding control to a producer would be a stipulation from the label. But if there's a slight possibility for Axl (and Slash and Duff) to accept stipulations from a producer they like, I think there's no way that Axl would cave in to the label. ------------ What was played on the two local rock radio stations in the past 5 hours or so: 1 Spoiler Arctic Monkeys - Do I Wanna Know?

Lio Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Radiohead is bigger in Belgium too. And it's not even close. For example, there is a big radio station here that does a top 100 every year of 'timeless' songs. It's not pop songs, it's more rock/alternative orientated. Radiohead has 4 songs in there: Karma Police, Paranoid Android, Creep and Street Spirit. GNR has one, November Rain. And that's in 2017, the year of the European reunion tour. I'm far from a hater, as most on here know, and I don't often agree with Diesel, but it's a simple fact that Radiohead is bigger than GNR, at least in some parts of the world. It's no drama. Who cares? Some of you should get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would include my favourite act, Neil Young, so I cannot agree haha. Neil Young was completely embarrassed when 'Heart of Gold' reached US #1 to such an extent that he refused to play the song for years and promptly made a series of unfathomable dark rock albums. It would also include Zeppelin who refused to release singles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Blimey, how did this thread go from GNR new music rumour to GNR v Radiohead? The two aren't even in the same genre, don't have the same sound, or attract the same crowd. Might as well compare One Direction with Eminem. That said, it's pretty obvious to me that different markets have different musical tastes. I've lived in two different countries, one known for its indie and punk rock, and the other known for its pub/garage rock, and GNR ceased to be relevant in both sometime after 93 when Grunge took over. What I've learned from this thread is that GNR clearly still gets a lot of airplay in North America and I'm guessing South America, too. I didn't know that before, I know it now. It doesn't mean anyone is right or wrong, just that GNR is relevant in some countries and not in others. What I find interesting is that London said in his podcast that all the kids his age don't listen to Rock (never mind GNR!) and it's still all about rappers and bling. So despite the airplay GNR get (in LA at least) Rock is still a niche genre. I wonder when Rock will have its resurgence? Or maybe it never will? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging from how things are now, it seems that it never will. Or, at least, it won't in the near future. I talk with kids/teenagers and they are as far from rock as they can be; they can't relate to its music language at all. It wasn't so much like that ten years ago. I think that maybe rock has run its course as a genre. I don't mean it will cease to exist; there will still be new bands and an audience for it, but it'll never have the impact it had in the past.
