Ditch everything recorded by the pre-2016 line-up. If it would've been good, it would've been released. No excuses. Start fresh, write 15 songs, narrow it down to 10, record and release. Shouldn't be too hard for professional musicians. It wouldn't even cost much, if they'd have the songs written and arranged before going to studio. But they are creatively bankrupt as a band, so nothing is going to happen.

Reznor has been saying for 20+ years that that story is made up and not true. Which, I guess, was one of the reasons he cut ties with him back in the day.

This. So much this. After all these years I still hear new things. I love it. Final version of There Was A Time is such a masterpiece, for example. Though, I got to say I do love the demos too. Especially the bass-heavy versions. And IRS '99 has an amazing, untouchable vibe. I guess I love all those versions. I love the songs and it's cool to have different versions of them.

I think any chance of Velvet Revolver coming back died with Weiland.

In my opinion, they kinda had. Illusions have some of Guns' greatest songs, but as albums they are a bit disjointed. They are good albums, but they had the potential to be great albums.

I'm no mixing expert, but I dabble a bit with songwriting and stuff, and I've found that when it comes to rock and metal, it's important to give space for bass and drums. They lay the foundation which in turn helps the guitar shine. But I'm not critizing your song or anything, it's cool stuff The thought just came to my mind.

Sounds like a cool mixture of metal and punk. The drums could be a tiny bit louder for my taste. But all in all, not bad at all. Good stuff

Good job!

This. It's an okay-ish song, but nowhere near the quality Guns is able to produce. If I would be the manager of Guns, I'd make sure they'd release three singles before releasing a full length record. #1 WTTJ meets Chinese Democracy -type rocker #2 An acoustic ballad #3 A Guns epic combining elements from the two previous songs Then WHAMMO! Album out and let the world (read: this forum) go nuts! But pinball machines are all we get 😅

I once really liked Sixx AM and I still think they have a handful of legitimate good songs, but holy heck, that was bad. It's like these days mainstream rock bands are afraid of making rock music. It's ridiculous.

He still didn't run around during the AC/DC shows (because he didn't "want it to make it about him" or whatever the reason was, which IMO was pretty considerate and cool). So that made him probably sound even better, because being still and standing gives you more control of your voice, than being still and sitting down.

We had more than enough. #Grateful

I guess it's a matter of either wanting to air you dirty laundry in public or not. I mean, everyone has some dirt on people they know well, but you can choose to be classy and respectful. And obviously Duff chose that route and told an interesting and reflecting story of his journey without throwing anyone under the bus. I think there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't understand how you can be the manager of a legendary mainstream band and not have a marketing / social media plan? Then, instead of being professional, you diss your band's diehard fans on reddit and make excuses. Jesus...
