Dean Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Guns N' Roses should always take priority. Axl seemed to show more interest in doing a record with Angus than he did with Guns going by the rumours that were doing the rounds at the time and while that would have been cool as fuck, I'd have been slightly disappointed at that happening before another GN'R release. Totally understandable though, that was his band growing up and it must've been a surreal experience being in that position, especially ending up being the greatest voice to ever be associated with that band... I just hope these shows in November shed some light on what's going to be happening next, and hopefully it won't be another year on top of that until we get to hear anything officially. UYI anniversary next year, get that to fuck if it means delaying new material. EDIT: I emailed Fermanager after his Reddit post, I did say another double album would be incredibly ballsy, it would be great to coincide the anniversary with another double album release. Wishful thinking but who knows?! Edited July 3, 2020 by Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a tiny crowd compared to what Guns have been playing infront of. Even the 2010/12 GNR had bigger crowds in Europe and nobody had heard of 90% of the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fake Guns didn't pull much more either. 8 hours ago, Alejandro GNR said: Its time to stay positive guys... Slash says they’re working on stuff. We know for a fact they rehearsed Hardschool, Pretty Tied Up, Think About You; plus they played You’re Crazy at their last show. I believe things are moving forward in orden for us to get new things (new songs, at some point an album and old new songs being played live) I think its time we assume this will be happening sooner than later. I belive in Axls confidence with Slash by his side...and I believe in Slash making Axls material more GnRish. Its happening guys If it doesn't happen now, with a forced down time, it will happen never. So yes, let's stay positive. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also at this stage, no slash in GNR is no GNR period. If he wouldn't make the GNR money, he could petition the court to cut the alimony, so let's cut that bullshit talk already. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re not GN’R levels sure, but they’re not just some shitty bar band either Yeah. They certainly make money. Also they play twice as much shows on a tour in the same time than GNR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Guapo Posted July 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 3, 2020 As much as Myles puts me to sleep and I dislike his timbre and lack of charisma, there is really no contest. In the here and now, he's a much, much better singer than Axl. He got great technique, breathing control, much more power etc. These are just facts. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNRmello77 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well they do have all the time in the world now to focus on writing and recording, no excuses left for why it couldn't be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking but who knows?! I personally think the band should do 3 albums. We certainly know there is a CD2 and potentially enough material for a third. When GNR released illusions no band had released 2 albums together. GNR should clean the slate and release 3 seperate albums. No other band since 91 has released 3 albums. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a massive fan of Queen and I am of the belief Mercury is the greatest of all time, however, the only thing preventing Axl surpassing Fred is the lack of material. I'm still really hopeful. 3 minutes ago, StayofExecution2020 said: There's no way those shows are happening If things continue to progress the way they have been, it's definitely a possibility.

Even young Axl isn't the better singer but he would easily outperform Myles with his power, his timbre and his overall performance. Now, all that's left is his stage present.

Sweersa Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) I wish "new GN'R" put out CD2 or whatever they were going to call it before Slash and Duff returned. At this point, it would be great if they put out a double album as others have suggested. The first being CD2 with no or minimal contributions by Slash, Duff (and Frank, would love to hear more Brain) and then maybe the other album being self-titled with a mix of CD3 (in 2006 Axl said they had about half of a 3rd album done) and totally new stuff by the current lineup. Make it happen, Team Brazil! Call CD2 "Seven" or "7" with track 7 being the title cut. What an appropriate name for the 7th studio GN'R album.

Duff and Slash are back. That is all that is interesting. What they can come up with Axl. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also at this stage, no slash in GNR is no GNR period. Keep hearing this about his alimony. What kind of deal did perla get? they were divorced before he joined guns, her settlement would have been based on his GnR royalties and his SMKC earnings. And if somehow she managed to get a % of everything else he earns on top of that, its hardly going to be more than 10-20%, people keep this myth up that slash is in GnR to pay his $400m dollar per month alimony. I don't even remember this making the news, it seems to be a myth spoken as fact that slash has an extortionate alimony check. I'd love to be shown how much it really is, coz he must have earned over $100m for GnR 2016-2020 plus SMKC stuff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wont make money touring bingo halls and bowling alleys, GNR will always sell more tickets... Money matters when you're paying your ex wife off Again, the myth that slash is in GnR to pay off his ex wife! hes earned 10s of millions more likely over $100m for this tour, they were divorced before this tour started! Slash is not poor because of his divorce! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're playing 2,000 - 3,500 capacity venues in the UK now. Big difference between that and the money he can make with GNR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
