It's not fair or just to say the things said (here and there) because the band doesn't consist of members you feel better suited, I think that's up to the guys in the band, no? So Axl, Slash and Duff just don't feel confortable having Izzy and Adler around? Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 @Fernando Forgot to say, thanks for coming to Oslo this July. Looking forward to it. And if anyone in the organization is up for a one-day mountain hike in the beautiful Jotunheimen before (or after) the show, let me know (you have my contact info). I take tour groups there every year and I am sure it would be great for you guys to relax and wind down a bit between the hectic touring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all you do! When will the Troubadour show from 2016 be released on DVD? I was there and it was awesome! I'd love to see a GNR gallery or exhibition of memorabilia again in LA in celebration of the new Boxset. I'll be at the Berlin show! See you all there! -Kevin B. Unfortunately I don't think this will ever see the light of day. Our vision for that show was directed as a trip to the past, no phones just pure music, love and being there/bragging rights like back then was. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post downzy Posted May 18, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2018 Really want to thank Fernando for taking some time out of his day to answer some questions and clear the air. A lot of times things can be taken out of context or misinterpreted so I'm glad we're all getting a chance to understand where we're all coming from. I'm glad to see everyone being respectful and friendly. Please remember that we do not tolerate personal attacks and anyone looking to spoil the mood will be shown the door immediately. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 @Fernando is there any plans to release new music in the future? I don't mean remastered songs like 'Shadow Of Your Love' or 'Crash Diet' or any other old demo we've been listening to for years... will songs like Atlas Shrugged or The General ever be released? Is there a plan to re-write Chinese-era songs with Slash and Duff? Are they writing anything new from scratch? I know you can't give specifics but it'd be nice to know if 'something' is in the works. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 @Fernando Was the song One In A Million omitted for a reason from the box set or was it simply not included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) @Fernando Fernando, would Slash and Duff be supportive of Axl putting out the second half of Chinese? Edited May 18, 2018 by sofine11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for answering, Fernando. I take that as a „no“ then. Also, I do think it is „fair“ for fans to express who is their favourite line-up and ask if there’s a chance to see them again or not. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Also understand that there are a lot of questions that Fernando can't answer. No harm in asking them, but don't get your hopes up if questions about new music and future plans are ignored or not shown any specificity. I think we can all agree we'd love to hear new music with the GNR label on it. And I say this as someone who knows as much about new music as any of you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGeneral Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I think Fortus is great and Melissa's backing vocals give the songs something modern. @Fernando Is Axl growing a beard at the moment? And how is he in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edsonandhudson Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 @Fernando One more question, I guess it's an easy one. What stops GNR from releasing a song? Industry has changed, albums are not a must anymore. And I'm sure there's plenty of tracks ready for a release. How hard is it to get to iTunes or something from a manager perspective? Is Axl against releasing singles? Don't you think a well promoted GNR song with a cheap lyric video on Youtube would generate lots of income compared to a box-set (that must be a lil costly in your end)?

Comments such as these suck. Just because you don't get an answer you hoped for or a clear understanding so you are fully satisfied, doesn't mean you should label the band or brand as a money grabbing entity. So you ask for information, "any information" and the information I am sharing falls under such category. Just because I manage the band, doesn't mean I decide when and what the band does on their creative process my dude. Just an observation from an insider versus the latter. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
