I believe slash when he says they've talked about it and want to do another album. not soon, but it keeps me hopeful there might be a future for guns. This is not the Slash interview I wanted, I can tell you that. With respect to new GN'R material, this Slash interview is no different than the same interviews Fortus has been giving since about 2002. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Pertaining to the rapprochement, it is the most revealing interview thus far. In fact it is practically the only interview haha. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaugerud Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Been a member since 2005. Lost interest in speculation CD in 2009. Lost interest in speculation 2010. Losing interest in GnR as we speak. Concerts are ok, but everything else is a total waste of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's much else to share? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He comes off as more or less on equal footing with Fortus which is a real bummer, at least to me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's not saying what we all want to hear and that can be disappointing but it sounds like there's a bunch of things they want to do first which is, to me, understandable. even if I would have loved them to finish the guns tour and straight to the studio. realistically, I think axl is gonna do ac/dc and how can I blame him, that's a huge thing for him it seems, slash is gonna do con which is fair cause he wanted to finish what he started, and only then they will perhaps pull the trigger on it. and I don't believe it's the same as with the previous line up when they've talked about new material. with slash and duff in the band again maybe axl will want to release another album more compared to when bumble and dj were in the band.

I agree with you on this. Another thing I think about is why would Axl have played Slash and Duff a few songs he had if there wasn’t any thoughts of making new music ? In regards to the interview the studio is where problems usually appear with Axl so maybe Slash is just being cautious with what he says with new music. I think there will be new music with one last world tour to support it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only proof we have is what Slash said, which again, is exactly the same thing Fortus has been saying since 2002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AxlRoseCDII Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Unless Axl is saying there will be a new album like he did for Chinese, I take anything the other band members, including Slash and Duff, say with an extreme grain of salt. Even then, words from Axl about new music still can’t be taken to heart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 I think this was an okay interview but comes off as being a little generic. Slash is obviously doing this just to get a little hype/promo for the record, which is understandable. He definitely was answering carefully on the Guns questions. I really hope one day, we see some new music. It seems to me that everything is going good and smooth so they are not worried about recording new material with each other. They probably don't want anything to rock the cash boat that is GN'R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subtle Signs Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 2 hours ago, adamsapple said: Without a new album it's either back to Vegas N' Weddings or a co-headlining tour with another nostalgia act. Yeah right. They can tour on the GNR name alone without ever releasing something new. They'll easily do 15,000 plus still in the States in bigger markets and even more overseas. The only people clamoring for new music are the dorks like us who analyze cell phone clips of The General. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard anyone say sales = quality when it comes to any sort of art. i didnt mention sales i mentioned people enjoying songs "fantastic songs"? expose people to "fantastic songs" and the will enjoy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacdaniel Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Guns N Roses is Axls band and it's management are all Axls people and he doesn't seem to have any idea were he is leading it to. He tried to get Nu Guns to work but I think he had little support. Managers wanted the reunion, session musicians wanted a pay check, CD was more miss than hit. It's sounds like the reunion is baby steps. A few dates first, then a US leg and so on and so on. Sounds like they're all interested in new music at some point. But even Axl isn't in a position to say it's happening. I'm sure they have discussed new music and have ideas but can't commit to anything right now due to SMKC/ACDC and the final NITL dates. I'm sure they'll keep in touch and decide what to do next, if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacdaniel Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Also, Slash is doing the interview to promote HIS new album. Announcing that Guns are making a new album would create worldwide headlines. That wasn't the point of this interview and would have taken away from SMKC. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At ticket prices edging 150+ euros per show (plus travelling, food, drinks, merch, commodation, day off etc.) and given the sound issues they had i.e. in Berlin I doubt they gonna sell the same product twice to the same audience. Unless they become hot shit and relevant again I doubt they ever gonna play 50.000+ venues ever again that are not Rio or eastern Europe.

DieselDaisy Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The whole thing makes far more sense if you distill the reunion to what it essentially is: Slash and Duff have been recruited by Axl to play x number of dates. The reunion did not entail a resumption of 1985-93 band relations, with full democratic voting rights and creative input. Slash's main band was always going to be The Conspirators. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just another version of new Guns, although with less enthusiastic players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less enthusiastic but far superior. Now imagine they were enthusiastic, that would even cast new Guns in a more negative light. Besides, the negative aspects of this reunion are beside Axls voice mainly Frank and Fortus. Edited August 4, 2018 by Free Bird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Slash should have been doing the Hogan ears to seem more enthusiastic. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
