Kickingthehabit Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) A+S+D are generating hundreds of millions touring. There's global interest. Even without a substantial media appearance. They don't need anybody to sell their shit. I think they'll self-finance an album and release it on their own. It'll have specialty packaging, so it's something people will want to buy.

If they can't find 4 decent versions of their own songs, then they shouldn't bother releasing anything!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSL and GNR have public beef about this. Lawsuits. Mega hits. It'll be Guns AF That’s the most interesting theory as to what we could expect if anything new is released. It’s the least amount of effort they could put towards something but I’ll take anything at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Radiohead is pretty popular in Argentina, a country that loves classick rock more than anything else. But they are coming here to play an alternative festival in April and tickets are already selling pretty well. They are not a popular stadium band but they are known and liked by an important alternative crowd. I like their albums from the 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alejandro GNR Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I asked Mitch Lafon via Instagram and he told me he thinks we’ll get a new album in the near future. I don’t know, I felt like asking and he answered. He must have sources at least. Hope he’s right 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotsfired cro Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 if there would be an album in the works, I wouldn't be interested in anything else but the Illussion line up recording and Mike Clink producing. Everything else is pretty much not of my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Derick Posted January 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2018 All this talk about radio just confirms how big this band is. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make this NITLT one of the most successful tours in history. No songs playing on the radios,no videos, no new album to promote, no press and without the label's magic wand..and still they are able to make thousands of people leave their homes, pay a good money for a ticket to go see them. So if you want a good example of what is a "permanent A list rock group" just take a look to GNR. 11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXL_N_DIZZY Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I’d be surprised, All the touring success would seem to give Axl/Guns more leverage (creative and otherwise)... not less. Also- don’t see Axl being dictated to by a producer- no matter how successful/accomplished he is. Who knows though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 14 hours ago, Dazey said: I don't think that the label/TB/Slash/Duff were ever the problem. The label would take any album under the GnR name and Slash and Duff would happily record and release a new record. It's Axl and it always has been. If he wants to do it he will but history has shown that he'll do what he wants, when he wants and nothing anybody else says or does will make a blind bit of difference. Long story short, we'll see a new record if and when Axl wants to make one. I definitely agree with you on some elements of that, but I could definitely believe that there was also hidden agenda's from the label trying to force Axl into getting back together with Slash by way of multiple managers trying to manipulate Axl into doing so. We've seen MSL's alleged leaks which list one of the documents being Beta emailing Iovine (I think) on how to trick Axl and also Merck allegedly cutting Finck from the payroll and telling Axl that Bucket had quit, when in reality he hadn't. These guys probably would have gotten a big pay off had they succeeded in doing so in the 2000's. I would honestly love to think that Axl was highly motivated around the initial CD sessions around '98/'99 to actually put out a vast amount of material, but somewhere down the line things turned sour and resulted him in saying that 2008, the year of the release, was the worst year of his life. If motivation was the issue, then I'm certain that with Duff and Slash back in the fold it'll help Axl get back to his creative best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
