It's clearly a stock image- Google something like "stock photo ghostly figure hand at window," click Images, and poke around with some of the top navigation keywords. On a related note, I can't even count how many threads on this forum have made me wonder why no one's thought of making a tragi-comic "Waiting for Guffman" style documentary about the fans here and their eternal waiting and faith that someday this band will release an album without a 20-something year delay. And spend those two decades trying to dissect a series of red herring clues for an explanation as to why the new music has yet to materialize and/or why its release may actually be imminent. Sorry- I guess that last bit should be my entry in the What's Your Unpopular GN'R Opinion thread.

Funnily enough I have had this convo with the staff team about what a cool Netflix doc could be made about the core fanbase. I think even the normies would dig it! I think it was after watching Wild Wild West on Netflix it occurred to me - not saying we're cult like but... Spoiler it's kind of a bit like that. Sadly I don't have the skills, money or contacts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruel Intentions Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 So I'm just reading through this entire thread now. Can someone sum up what this turned out to be? It's a U-2 cover? Why is this being rumored exactly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, the current band is Axl, Slash and Duff. At this point, if they were to release an album, I wouldn't be surprised if it featured guitar parts from both Buckethead and Izzy, and Fortus just played those parts live. That's how much of a circus this band is, lol. I think Fortus will be a noticeable presence in his own right on any future release, but I don't know if Axl would completely scrap the other CD-era guitar tracks. If Robin and Bucket came up with brilliant unreleased solos and ideas, it will be foolish to try to discard it all. My guess is Slash's playing will be all over the album but 3 or 4 Bucket and Robin solos that fit the big picture will do no harm. If it's There Was A Time level, if it's like Robin's This I Love solo, and it's a part of a tune that fits with the new recordings it could co exist if Slash plays on most of it. Axl found, in Robin and Bucket, 2 guitar players that in the studio reached the quality standard at least on some of the songs. Slash proved live in the NITL tour that he still got it, but he can't top all of Bucket's and Robin's solos for Axl's material. I suspect the same will be true for the next album if/when it comes out. You don't waste great ideas, hard to come by. You use AAA material if it suits your current musical vision but I could be way off and Slash just plays all of it but I doubt it. If the art comes first, use the best shit you got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to a U2 concert, but I can't imagine that his political statements or speeches (whether I'd agree with it or not) would ruin the music experience for me, unless his speeches are longer than the setlist, but I doubt that to be the case. I've never been to one as well, I really regret not seeing their Joshua tree tour 2017, I feel like in this tour the music was the main aspect, while the i+e and e+i tour were more about the video screens and the political speeches Their Apollo show in 2018(?) was good as well, stripped down, no big screens, just music And when I'm at a show, imo the main focus should always be on the music and in the case of U2, it's easier and cheaper to watch their earlier shows on YouTube This is my last U2 related post in this thread, sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, this country is fucked for a long while now and nothing really changed with the current president aside the SJW attacks on politics because he is a right wing christian and the gay community sees this as an evil thing lol I didnt vote him and it wasn't my desire to have a right wing president but the country was fucked since forever, our last three presidents are all in jail for a lot of crimes so...

Axl confirmed it, it was on the Axl chats if I'm not mistaken where he talked about "CD ll". In the chats, someone posted a list of rumored unreleased song titles from the CD era (Down By The Ocean among them) for Axl to confirm. Axl confirmed that title and added it's a song by Izzy (probably hinting it was brought to the table when Izzy came back in the fold to write with Duff in 95). It probably ended up on Izzy's album 'Fire' after being retitled 'Box', though it's just an educated guess and we don't have an official confirmation.
