Popular Post MidnightToker Posted August 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2018 Someone over at the Alter Bridge forums posted scans of the new interview - http://thealterbridgenation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2960&start=180#p199323 I can’t copy and paste because they’re scanned images, but it’s a great interview and I think the best indication of possible new GnR music. Here are some relevant quotes (especially the last one): “When Guns started doing its thing, then the kind of writing that I was doing was actually more tailored towards Guns.” “Well it’s not been announced because there’s nothing official, so there’s nothing to talk about...there’s no shortage of ideas, from everybody involved, but we’ve been so busy on the road there hasn’t really been time to go in and sit down and go: ‘Okay, we’re going to make a record.’” “I think we’re going to go well on into the future. I mean, Axl’s got a ton of shit that he got recorded already, so we’re just going to get in there and just start getting into that thing, and then if we do a record and then do a tour, I could see that cycle going on endlessly.” (this quote is on the page with the picture of Slash and Lemmy) 13 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fourteenbeers Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) Great! No all he has to do is make sure that Axl doesn't fiddle with the material so long that we're all pushing daisies. @soon CD2? Wouldn't a better name for that album be "Ginger's Revenge"?

Popular Post adamsapple Posted August 21, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2018 Yeah right, Axl and a "ton of shit" - in his own ass! That's why they brought not even one new song to the entire tour, because Axl has sooooooo much material. He just can't decide wich song to play first! Seriously, not getting excited here. I would love to hear new music. But I believe it when I hear it. 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kwick1 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I really hope that I'm wrong but i don't think this tells us anything we don't already know. Musical and personality differences tore GnR apart. I know it's been 25 years and everyone is older, wiser and sober but I still think they're the same people. Now, I really hope I'm completely wrong and there's going to be a new GnR album 🎉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 They wouldn’t even have to write much material for an album if Axl really does have that much from the vault. Pick five or six of those songs to rework and record with the current line-up, and then write and record five or six more. Help clear the vault plus give us some fresh material. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still more or less the same thing Fortus has been saying since 2002 Well for me, it gets me a little excited. It at least shows Slash is interested in recording his parts on the music Axl has done. But with that being said, it still has to happen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very cautious about this.. but I still think that Slash saying that they have material, is a bit different than Fortus saying that he's excited about a possibility of new music. Agreed...Slash knows what to say and what not to... Him saying this, as much as I love Richard, means a lot more! Because Slash would be a principle participant in tracks being written and riffs being created, as lead guitarist. Also, this puts to bed, that there's no such thing as a vault of tons of left over CD stuff...Slash wasn't even there at the time, so he's obviously heard a bunch of it Chinese exchange Axl "I've played a lot to Slash and Duff and they showed interest" (not verbatim) this sides with all the years of interviews with people that have claimed there's a lot of music unheard. I had NO doubts there's endless riffs and song structures in the vault, I'd be VERY interested to see how many have "finished" Axl vocals on them...

Rovim Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 (edited) already believed richard when he said axl had maybe 4 albums of material. there is no shortage of that or willing musical partners in slash and duff. I believe they can do a strong album musically with what they have plus slash and richard working together but axl is the one who has to pull the trigger and they're not in that mode yet. but he sounds excited about a possible guns album at least. i'm sure he would love to give it a try and that's cool cause at least he gets along with axl so it's on the table.

TheGeneral Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I just hope if they rework old songs Axl will put new vocals on it. I would feel betrayed if he didn't, because Axl isn't dead. It would feel like those recent Michael Jackson albums, where other people worked on the stuff he left behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightToker Posted August 21, 2018 Author Share Posted August 21, 2018 To me, what makes this new is the verbage Slash uses here: 2 hours ago, MidnightToker said: “I mean, Axl’s got a ton of shit that he got recorded already, so we’re just going to get in there and just start getting into that thing, and then if we do a record and then do a tour, I could see that cycle going on endlessly.” (this quote is on the page with the picture of Slash and Lemmy) "We're going to" is something we haven't heard before, at least from what I can recall. He is stating a specific intention to start working on music, particularly ideas Axl already has (although I don't think that necessarily means they would never work on something totally new). And Slash's quote about "it's not been announced so there's nothing official" -- to me that sounds like the band trying to avoid what happened with CD. If they announce right now that they are definitively working on new music, the internet blows up and everyone has massive expectations and gets impatient. If I were them, I would wait until it's all finished and then announce a new record and release date plus tour. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
