Voodoochild Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Maybe if they are not gonna release anything this year, they decided to work a bit more in new songs. At the end of the day, we just don't know. If the band is not releasing anything, is not because they are still working with demos. Like the interview before Slash's one, with Tedd Rundgren (who wrote Dust in the Wind, which was an excellent cover back in the Illusions tour), a demo is almost as good as the finished product these days. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Blackstar Posted June 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 28, 2020 In January Slash also had said he was working on Guns stuff: Quote Jude Gold: Do you play the original Appetite guitar that much? Does it sit behind... Slash: No, actually I just took it back to the locker the other day. I had it in the studio working on some Guns stuff, so... Jude Gold: And so what is the plan for Guns? There is a tour coming up? Slash: There’s everything! Jude Gold: You still didn’t put something new, I mean... Slash: No, there’s a new... We’re doing a show for the Super Bowl series and then we’re doing a South American tour, and a European tour in the summer and also coming back to the States. And it is not the Not In This Lifetime Tour. So it’s not labeled that. Jude Gold: Are you tracking right now? New stuff? Slash: Oh, there’s all kinds of stuff going on. https://www.a-4-d.com/t4674-2020-03-16-no-guitar-is-safe-podcast-a-chat-with-slash Of course then they were supposed to tour in the following months. I guess, with not much else to do during the quarantine, they've been spending some of their time working on demos regardless of what they had (or hadn't) done before. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sosso Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) I really think that they were supposed to play new songs this year and Covid19 stopped them from doing it. Similar to what they did with the CD songs from 2001 until 2007. Well, at least Hard School. Edited June 28, 2020 by Sosso 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they need a deadline. But what about this box of... Pitman sub bass melod--- THROW IT AWAY! "Jamming with Axl" I want to know that someday Axl and Slash will play guitars together again. How could that not result in a cool song? Edited June 28, 2020 by Ant 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be dated if Trump loses this November and the album is out next year. If he's re-elected they will call the single 'November Pain'... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since the first one is already finished and they don't want long gaps between albums once they're rolling... Yeah, right. You made a spelling mistake.

Free Bird Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 9 hours ago, GNRfanJen said: I went ahead and listened to it. This is what he said: "I've been jamming with Duff, and I've been jamming with Axl, and I've been doing stuff like that; so we've been getting some work done that way. I'm basically just focusing on writing new music, recording demos and recording guitar stuff for Guns." Considering the time frame, if he really is just focusing on GNR and nothing else, then it sounds like Slash works longer on his guitar parts or the songs themselfs than usual. Maybe as long as it gets to make Axl happy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydney Fan Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 (edited) 12 hours ago, EricA said: So can we assume that what Susan was talking about, were these jams from Slash and Duff? I was really hoping that what she heard was something a bit more advanced than some jamming. I m wondering if what was to be released as part of the tour if it had gone ahead this year, was just an ep with hardschool, a couple of chidem songs put together with potentially an album with new material slated later this year. Slash says the intention was to tour SA, europe and back to the states. That would be long enough to tour an ep. New album drops later in the year with a brand new album tour starting 2021. As slash mentioning they are jamming means hopefully they are in a creative headspace hopefully this is a new chapter in this lineup. Or the intention was to tour a new album and maybe they are working on a followup 🤷♂️ Edited June 28, 2020 by Sydney Fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaskingApathy Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 If they're doing a UYI box set next year then how does a new album fit into that? Wouldn't they want to do that at a different time so that one doesn't take away hype from the other? Or do they figure that it's fine to do both in the same year?

Free Bird Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Another point. Hearing Slash jams with Duff is cool. Jamming with Axl is even cooler but wouldn't it be better when jamming with Duff and Axl at the same time? Sounds like they did it on different occasions, right?

Yes. If it was just a regular Chinese Democracy song reworked, that wouldn't be the case. But since it's an unreleased song, with different arrangement from what it sounded like, and after Slash himself said he was recording for GNR, it all seems to indicate that the song was already worked on studio by Slash and Duff. 54 minutes ago, Free Bird said: Another point.

They need to record and send each other the ideas. With social distancing, they can't play at the same time via Zoom, Facetime or whatever. Too much latency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless the thing they are jamming on and recording is a redone version of Ain’t Going Down. And the ‘new album’ is the ain’t going doing disc of the the UYI box set, lol. (They haven’t announced a UYI box set though). 16 minutes ago, Creed said: The record won't sound right with Melissa, Frank and Fortus though. Trust me. Izzy and Steven / Sorum defined the sound if GnR as much as Axl and Slash. Duff is the only replacable one. Bolded: name me another bassist who sounds like Duff? We’ll use SCOM comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they were touring during the AFD anniversary, and there was no change to the bands setlist. So if the band is on the road next year, im sure they could still promote the anniversary 🤷♂️. If the band are touring, it might even generate more tickets and suck some of the casual fans in attending thinking the band will change the setlist and add more illusion songs.

Maybe if Axl didn't sound like crap... The chorus is where it's kicks in I think, definitely could be a pretty great GNR song with Slash/Duff input. Also, trying say a song as bad off a 15 seconds soundbite from a rehearsal doesn't make much sense when the full song is available and most who've heard it agree it's a pretty great song.

It's a good point, but on the positive side, selling the two products at once could be a win win also. I can imagine a UYI badass box causing that nostalgia/hype and a new album available on streaming services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I guess it's the label taking care of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
