Holy shit, you Spanish guys. Shadow, Twat, Locomotive, AND Yesterdays? Now THIS is what I was talking about when I said shuffle the fucking playlist. This is what they did at the beginning of 2016. Fuck yeah.

Never heard of

Thank you, it couldn't have been better!

And a Columbo case #2: This is a Christmas present from my sister’s bf. He’s a photographer / graphic designer, so he kinda printed it and basically made a painting out of it for me, to be put on the wall. When I asked him where he’d got it, he said somewhere off the net, but I’m almost convinced this is some official litho. Now, the question is, does anyone have any idea what city/event/date/whatever this is related to? I'd just like to know what it is that I'm about to hang on my wall (yes, I still haven't put it up). Can provide a better resolution/pic if needed. Much appreciated, and that will be all for tonight, thank you!

Patton Oswalt on Axl @ MTV (old) From Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/GunsNRoses/comments/1455xfj/sorry_axl_fans/ This is really funny, but does anyone have any idea which VMA he’s talking about? The only two with WTTJ I know of are 88 and 02. This description, however, fits neither.

And especially The General, which definitely will be played. Err...

Given I’m in the same time zone as Spain and they start around 9.30 and it’s Friday, I might be too drunk by that time to watch this thread tonight - so in any case, enjoy yourselves, folks!

If you guys are into survivals, give a go to Sons of the Forest. Fricking A.

"Chinese Cracy (not just a 'demo' any longer)"

You're literally describing many people's employment relationship here.

Could they just... put it on Youtube? Just like that? I have no idea, I guess not.

No doubts there.

You’re not wrong, but this begs the question why don’t GNR do it exactly the way the other bands do. They surely have "the money in the bank". Hell, they made more dough in 2016 alone than in their entire previous history combined, Axl’s solo era included. Granted, to do something like this, they’d need a real, competent management, and not a bunch of hacks. Bottom line is, if they wanted to release records and videos etc. on their own, they surely could afford it. Other bands have managed, so could they. And just because there's not much money in new records any more, doesn't mean one's supposed to play just the greatest hits forever. Again, other bands release records, so can they. I have a suspicion there’s a certain idiosyncratic guy who’s not really convinced about all this, and he happens the be the one standing at the helm.

Read it again. I said there could be. As in - in the future, you see? Btw I could imagine Slash keeping things secret (as per usual with this band), because I don't think he'd want to go through what Axl did before CD - the constant questions. They could have some agreement because otherwise this stuff would be all he'd be asked by both the journalists and the fans from then on. I'm not saying this is how it is, but could be. Anyway, here's to hoping. Again, nothing is impossible, and we know too little to jump to concrete conclusions.

Yes, maybe not new music (or maybe he's keeping stuff under the lid to avoid people bothering him about it), but that could very well happen, see above. Folks, all I'm saying is nothing is impossible, don't lose hope. We've been through this, kind of, and we know too little to assert and claim shit. Good night.

But there could be. Axl's old lyrics plus Slash's new melodies. What's the problem? Plus there was this session in Axl's house - are you sure you know exactly what they were doing in there? Etc.

- No, Slash isn't a hired gun. Just because Axl is the boss, that doesn't mean Slash is just his employee. Axl would be fucked way more without Slash (another NuGNR with Ashba-like characters, anyone? Wow, the tickets would sell over night!) than Slash without Axl. Mind you, I’ve always been more of an Axl fan than of any other member, btw. - We have no clue as to what impact he's had. All we know is they've worked on some music. That's all. - Since Axl has stuff from the past he wants to release, I understand why he's been doing what he's doing (except for the fucking touring). Then again, that doesn't mean there can't be new tunes on the album. I've always said one way to go is if Axl gives Slash just lyrics and maybe basic tunes and lets him do his magic. That would be like almost basically a new song, why not.

BBF was a hired gun; Slash is paramount. As for the rest, apples and oranges...

Anything that's official, whether from the band or some TV shot. As far as I know.

"Slash confirmed the band had been in the studio." "Slash also revealed that the band was working on music during lockdown." "We have one more tour left to do next summer, and then that'll free us up to be able to go in and work on a new record." Yes, it’s open to interpretation, but I see this very positively. It would be weird to just release a single and start touring again instead – in terms of what he would tell the journalists later. Soon or not, it’s coming.

But then, you need to pay attention. Otherwise you’re the one perpetuating the Groundhog curse. Slash talked about a couple of singles, yes. But he also said (1) he’d worked on new music since the reunion and (2) there’d be a '23 summer tour and then work on the new record would begin. Now, none of these things suggest to me there’d never be a whole new album (and "soon" is very relative, isn't it). In fact, there may even be a couple of newly written songs! Sounds utterly foolish, I know, but I’m just going by the actual factual information we’ve gathered so far from the source itself. All these possibilities are there, the rest is just a question of probability, beliefs etc., but none of that is off the table in any case. So, these are the facts.

We can't do this (YT) here, otherwise cunts will shut us down.

Don't you try to stop us now, I just refuse!

Yeah but I think that was connected with their then relationship. The hatchet has been buried. And Ashba etc. can write whatever, but I’d presume Slash’s music isn’t something Axl would take lightly. Especially it was once so hard for him to replace him.
