As much as i want a GNR album, they sure as hell won't release it during a pandemic. It's just an album. Nobody would have to go out to buy anything, it would be available to listen on Spotify or even download in Apple Music and/or Amazon. And if you really want a physical copy, that could be delivered (or maybe it would be sold later). The idle time we'll all have to endure will not be only for home office. Entertainment via digital will be more helpful than ever these days. It is the perfect time for people to hear new music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friends who are casual fans would at the very least give it one listen. My family (parents, sibling, cousins, etc.) would be very curious to hear it too. I’m sure plenty of others in the “rock sphere” would as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 They're not gonna do anything in the upcoming at least weeks, if not months. Slash may be working on his "ideas" as usual, because the guy is restless, but releasing anything at these grim times would result in a flop, even if it was online only. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with Phil Collen from Def Leppard and Steve Lukather are both really great for that. I liked how he was basically asking Slash "So why did you choose Frank Sidoris over me for SMKC?" haha.... I remember watching the video documentary from when they were making apocalyptic love and they had an episode where they showed guys auditioning for Frank's spot, and I didn't think any of them were really that good or fit in well with the other guys. Frank was definitely the perfect choice for them. In general SMKC is about the closest you can get to a perfect band in terms of lineup. 3 hours ago, RocketTess said: It would also be uplifting in this depressing situation.

allwaystired Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Weirdly I'm less convinced that a new album even exists than ever. We now know that Hardschool is being rehearsed.....but that's it. We had indications that it was rehearsed for the last leg too (people hearing it at soundcheck etc). If there were more songs than this, surely the plan would have been to play at least one more? The way I see it now is that Hardschool may have been recorded, but could well be a 'bonus' for something like a new Greatest Hits or a re-issue of something. A one-off.

MaskingApathy Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 If they're not going to be working on GnR stuff during this time then I really hope Slash calls up Todd, Brent, and Frank and they quarantine themselves in his studio and work on the next SMKC album. This is the perfect time to do so and they can take their time with it then release it sometime next year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ant Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) I find it really intriguing how Slash kind of earmarks ideas as "GNR" or "SMKC." I'd be so interested to hear riff and melody ideas side by side, hear what he hears as being distinctly GNR. Edited March 16, 2020 by Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that Prostitute sounds like an “epic conclusion,” of sorts, but I also feel like it’d be a real shame if we didn’t get at least one or two genuine reunion songs from Axl and Slash. Id even take something as simple as a split single, with a reworked ChiDem leftover on the a-side and a legit new song written by Axl and Slash together on the b-side.
