Edward Nygma Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 (edited) Think Guns should challenge themselves to make as much music & release as much as they did from 1987-1993. With lots of already recorded stuff, why not release things in constitutive years or another double album.

First off, LMFAO over this clown mocking GN'R -- who produced more memorable music in that one album than LA Guns ever did no matter how many filler albums they put out. Secondly, someone should tell him that GN'R released 4 other original albums besides AFD. He might want to check into it. Thirdly, whether some fans like it or not, there's no guideline or rule that says a band has to create new music all the time. Last I checked, 'The Who' has released only one album since 1982 and they're still touring. Lastly, this band just got back together (sort of) and toured as a nostalgia act for only 2 years. Yet people are already breaking their balls? Seriously? The Stones, the Who and countless others have been doing it for much, much longer. Ridiculous.

A lot of regrouped bands prioritize new music before the Nostalgia tour. LA Guns is putting gout vital new content after regrouping. GNR apparently thought that they themselves would fuck up and be childish all over again and just hit the road for the money before it all fell apart. ***** I dunno, I dont feel passionately about any of it. But LA Guns are doing everything that GNR should be doing/ should have done, imo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no hard and fast rule on how a band or any type of artist must operate. If you were an independent business owner, would you want anybody telling you how to run your business or what type of work you must do? It's up to them, nobody else. You don't have to like it. But comparing them to other independent artists that operate how they want to is apples and oranges. It's not relevant.

LA Guns can't have a nostalgia tour on the level of GN'R because they've never been relevant like GN'R -- even when some of GN'R's members were part of the band. They don't have the catalogue, the hits, the reputation, the popularity -- none of it. If they did, they'd likely be doing something similar. But they don't. Hence they are creating new music that will appeal to a very small niche crowd. Great for them and whomever likes them.

But you and all these other keyboard warriors aren't the authority on what GN'R 'should' be doing. The band members are. You (we) are just fans. IDK why many don't seem to grasp that point.

I don't know how familiar you are with their reunion album "The Missing Peace", but this album is fantastic. The lead single "Speed" has one of the best riffs and guitar solos in decades. 1 hour ago, thunderram said: They don't have the catalogue, the hits, the reputation, the popularity -- none of it.

I would consider The Ballad of Jane, Rip and Tear, Sex Action, Malaria, Electric Gypsy, Killing Machine, Never Enough, Over the Edge, Kiss My Love Goodbye, Here It Comes as classics from the band.

trqster Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 (edited) Let's get something straight here - fact is that Guns are a living legend kind of band (like the Stones) already - actually they do not need to put out anymore new music ever and would always be able to tour indefinitely the world with their current catalogue. They've earned it - because they're that good. Respect for that. This doesn't mean that we're not gonna have a new album and music coming - but that music will only be relevant to a very small percentage of Gn'R causal fans out there. Everyone else will always want to hear just the 'greatest hits'. Edited March 13, 2019 by trqster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
