Lies They Tell Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) 10 hours ago, RussTCB said: Of course there's always new material being worked on. Will it see the light of day though? Probably not. Sorry, but in this case Slashs word means no more to me than Fortus' I agree that Slash's words don't mean much. We've heard Axl say pretty much the same thing. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that they want to release new music, but when will it come out? That's the question that most likely even Axl doesn't have an answer for. I believe that the music will see the light of day at some point. Axl now has a lineup that he feels confident in. That's definitely a good thing considering new music. But right now there's no concrete new information considering new music. We know that they're working on new stuff and we know that they want to release it. That's all we know and we've known that for forever. Edited February 15, 2019 by Lies They Tell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which isn’t that much of a surprise - Adler didn’t get involved with the writing or Sorum for that matter. Or it could be the main 4 doing the main work with the rest chipping in later? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bigger than them ever winning the Stanley Cup.

downzy Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 11 hours ago, Tyler Drama said: I’m pretty sure the whole “label disputes” and “issues with the label” thing is always an excuse. There’s no label executive going, “whoa whoa whoa, DON’T release music!” Labels are meant to fund the recording of music and promotion of such.. stuff like that. There’s so many resources readily available to the average human now, that more and more artists are choosing to go independent. They’ve got the line-up now, and it doesn’t seem like anyone’s going anywhere. When you’ve got a group musicians willing to work with you and create new art, just do it. Without a plan, you’re not going to have a new release. Every release needs a plan. Otherwise it just won’t happen. “Up in the air” is where it will all remain until someone puts their foot down and starts scheduling. I don't think anyone out there is arguing that the label doesn't want, or didn't want from 2009 - 2016, a new album from Guns N' Roses. More likely were discussions/disagreements between the label and band that might result in a stalemate. Disputes over what constitutes a new album that counts against the current contract, promotion budgets, marketing strategy, royalties, etc. - all areas where vast disagreements between the two sides can produce a situation where no music gets released. It could be entirely possible that the label is not at fault and GNR is asking for more than the label can provide. Then again perhaps the label isn't willing to accommodate GNR regarding requests that the band feels reasonable and entitled. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's just saying that only he, Axl, Duff, and 4tus have talked about it seriously so far. I'm sure once they get down to jamming on ideas and stuff that Frank and Melissa will be there too. And Dizzy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientEvil80 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Cool - I believe Slash. When/if they put out new music, I'll check it out. I surely won't hold my breath though and my expectations are "below low". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyWoodRose84 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 How many times must it be said that Slash will not continue to put energy into this band unless he knows he will produce something? If you all don’t realize he is telling everyone “yes guys, new music is coming” then I don’t know what else to tell you. Look back at his interviews in late 2015,early 2016 before the reunion happened. You just needed to read between the lines. The biggest hurdle for anything Guns related for the last 25 years has been legal proceedings. Those are over and done with so it’s full steam ahead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsapple Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Why is everyone so cynical? Slash just confirmed they are working on new material and that Richard Fortus is involved, mentioned him in the same breath with the three remaining AFD members. Hello??? That means at least no significant lineup changes anytime soon and no bad blood between Slash and Axl. Fan reaction to this: Meh! Sad. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sl4yer Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I believe that they will release new music. Not this year for sure, but i think in a few years, maybe two, maybe five. I hope they won't tour without new album and that Axl will get his shit together before. So if album will be out in 2025 or 2026 Axl will be great.

I'm certain that Slash believes what he's saying, however, I don't think that's a guarantee for new music being released. Recorded? maybe yes because we've had countless ex-members state that they've recorded "tons" of stuff...never to be released. #notafuckingnegativepost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live Like a Suicide Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 47 minutes ago, RussTCB said: Slash didn't say anything new at all, therefore the "meh" But what he did say corroborated with what Richard recently said. This should provide some optimism for something new, especially given that people are often quick to dismiss Richard individually. At this stage, we know from Slash and Richard that something is being worked on, and more is likely to be done after Slash concludes his SMKC tour. I don't think the cynicism is a result of Slash's comments, but rather, the abuse and misuse we have had to put up with from the management. When it is made abundantly clear that the management doesn't give two fucks about us, hasn't released an album in ten years, and implicitly supports the destruction of online content, it is no surprise that people are jaded.

DieselDaisy Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Everybody who entered and exited Nugnr - your Buckets, Bumbles, Ashba (''and his 10 demos'') - thought they were going to make new music but nothing ever transpired because Rose is a legacy act. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patiencepatience Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 There is so much drama surrounding this, many stating Slash's words mean little to nothing. It seems we would have all learned this by now: If they're making the effort, things have to work out in order for them to put out new music. They have to love the music, they have to see it succeeding. No band in their position would throw a shit album out. So yes they can't PROMISE you it will happen but they are trying. For one I am really excited to see this news. Slash has stated over and over that he goes crazy when he's not touring. He needs it. Both in his book and many interviews. So I believe he's genuine when he says he sees the tour continuing for a long time (that wasn't in this interview but in others). Anyways I am pumped for whatever comes next. I need to see them live again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitha_whiskey Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 The entire NITL era was kicked off by a nonchalant comment by Slash that he and Axl had spoken. This is different than “other member’s” comments about a new album. This is fucking Slash. I understand the skepticism, but I think this is sowing the seeds of hype... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RocketTess Posted February 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted February 15, 2019 The positivity in this forum is really awesome!

I didn't like his last album.. Their drummer sucks and one of their main song writers is gone.. I think it is a pretty fair assessment to say that the music could be a letdown.. I am a huge Guns N' Roses fan.. While it is better than nothing or the CD era I am still not a fan of this lineup. It is great Slash is back but the lineup is still weak overall and it is all and 10 years to late.. Go listen to a soundboard from the NITL tour for an honest representation of this lineup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
