Popular Post Edward Nygma Posted February 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Do you know what they should do? Have a three-hour meeting & seriously look at what they are doing in regard to a new album, all things considered. Kidding aside...if somebody complained to the band's management about lack of new music and they responded...it would be turned into a negative thing and it would be my fault for spending hundreds of dollars on live tickets, merch & old music.

Popular Post GnR Chris Posted February 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Fernando is a clown, you guys. He doesn't have any say whatsoever in anything that gets revealed and isn't at liberty to do anything but be a jerk to fans inquiring about a new record. Pay him no mind.

Atlas19 Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 In my case, if a new album is released before the european leg, or at least announced to be released for the summer, then i'll get tickets to see them live. If not.... well, i'll pass on this. But something tells me no album and no show for me this year.... 12 and counting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Axl should have the NITL lineup re-record literally every single note of the cd2 stuff, and re-record all of the vocals himself too, so that absolutely nothing from the original recordings remain. That way, they can call the new album The Ship Of Theseus. For those who don’t know: The Ship Of Theseus is an Ancient Greek legend about a ship that had literally every single part of itself replaced slowly over time, to the point where absolutely nothing from the original ship remained. The Ship Of Theseus Starts Now! Conquer the world!... literally!! Edited February 6, 2020 by rocknroll41 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnuld Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 This why you need a real management team ( see Azoff, Irving) They get bands the right kind of deals that make sense for all parties involved so shit can be released. It’s not a coincidence that he was able to structure a deal to get CD out where everyone got paid. And he wanted Slash and Duff back in 2009 so everyone could get paid crazy money for a reunion tour. This is what big time management is for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had proper management there's a better chance that things would move along more quickly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-Ass Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I wouldn't be surprised to hear a single come out for the tour. Whether it is for an album, EP or just a single, who knows? Maybe a single and then more when NA rolls around. I could be totally off base and am not to pushed about it either way. I just wouldn't be surprised.

The Real McCoy Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Like I said earlier in this thread, as far as I’m concerned, the leaks are the new album. At least we have the legendary “2000 Intentions” album with a healthy dose of outtakes to make our own personal box set out of all of the instrumentals. Why does this band make it so difficult to take out money when it comes to new music? I’ll never understand this band.

Gordon Comstock Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I keep reading posts (on a few forums) that new music wouldn't be an incentive for casual fans to attend more shows, and I really don't get it. New music would be hyped up like nothing else. The first album from a reunited Axl and Slash is gonna be pretty big news in the music world, just like the April 2016 shows were. It's not unlikely that a new GNR album would debut at #1 in the charts and would generally do well sales-wise, and 'popularity' is probably a bigger draw for casual fans than 'nostalgia' is. GNR's demographic will still buy music, as well as stream it. Whatever that quote from Slash was about the music industry having changed too much for them to release material, is ridiculous. If they release an album, it will be popular, and that's how you fill seats in a stadium tour and keep raking in the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually a casual fan will go once usually as a bucket list type thing. I would think all casual fans would have seen the band by now. ...so im perplexed how casual fans are still driving demand for tickets?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I know that Niven makes shit up and pretends to be an insider, but this quote from late 2018 is interesting, that's an awfully specific conversation to make up having: “Well, it isn’t so much ‘my take’, it’s what Curly [Slash] said to me the last time that I saw him which was when he came through Phoenix here just a few months ago. He told me that basically Axl [Rose] was in isolation, going through stuff that was recorded, but not used, on Chinese Democracy. http://www.alternativenation.net/slash-allegedly-reveals-axl-rose-isolation-bizarre-reason/ Slash would have been in Phoenix in September 2018 when he said Axl was going through CD 2 tracks, and was recording at Axl's house in April 2019, so being as optimistic as humanly possible I suppose there's a small chance something is completed and is in negotiations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus add in Slash’s recent comments about material being done and other comments from someone who appears to have a ‘ITK’ status that the record is done. I know, I know.....who really is ITK? Who really knows but I’m thinking positive. Also - didn’t Fortus a while back put posts on his Instagram that he was in a recording studio (looked like an old church) but he hasn’t been on any other artists recordings I can think of.........

rocknroll41 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I was revisiting the village leaks again and determined what I feel would make a decent album out of them: 1.Hard School (with all-new lyrics that aren’t as obvious of a Slash diss) 2.Atlas Shrugged (with the “ohhh” vocals replaced with guitar bends) 3.Perhaps (with the “hey heyyy” vocals replaced with guitar bends) 4.Quick Song (with legit lyrics, obviously) 5.Berlin (with vocals, obviously) 6.Curly Shuffle (with vocals, obviously) 7.Soul Monster (with vocals, obviously) 8.Zodiac (with vocals, obviously) 9.Mustache (with vocals, obviously) and then a bunch of new songs written by the NITL line-up. Give Dub-Suplex and Prom Violence back to Bucket! Give Going Down and Save Me back to Tommy! I almost included The General, but we haven’t heard enough of it yet to be sure if it really is good or not. I also left out Seven and Down By The Ocean for the same reason. We haven’t heard a note from either of those yet, so for all we know, they’re shit. The rest of the village songs are shit too (tho State of Grace had potential).
