Oh Well (Slash feat. Chris Stapleton)
Gordon Comstock replied to Free Bird's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Heard this on the radio a couple times today, and that station has Killing Floor in rotation. It's nice to hear these songs while I'm at work. Honestly it's still kinda blowing my mind that Slash combined a blues album with another 'all star guest' album, two things I wished he'd do for years, and so far these songs have turned out as good as I dared imagine them being. Great band, great production, great choices of guests, classic songs... Such a refreshing change from the last couple SMKC records. -
No, lol. Duff will be getting ready for his tour, Slash will be getting ready for his Serpent tour, and Axl will be doing whatever the hell he does between tours. I don't expect Monsters to be released until next year, when they can realistically do a few months of touring. Slash has said he wants to do another SMKC album later this year.

This is part of why I'd love to hear them do another covers record. Yes, it's stupid for a band with such a small discography to do multiple covers albums. But there's no indication they'd use Frank in the studio, and Axl could still sound great on Wichita and The Seeker... not to mention some covers of Thin Lizzy, Alice Cooper, The Angels, etc. Honestly when I saw them in 2017, I Feel Good and Wichita were some of their best songs. They were clearly having fun and sounding good doing it. Wichita is still one of the best songs they play... take the pressure off Axl and let him have fun with classic rock songs, get Brain (or Josh, or any pro session drummer really) and I think they'd knock it out of the park. That said, Monsters is great, so much better than the other singles... so they'll release at least one last good song

Nobody should still be 'waiting' for GNR songs lol. At least we've got this Slash record to look forward to - so far it sounds like it'll be his best album in decades. One of my favourite artists dropped a new single today, another announced their album and put physical copies up for sale, and another hinted about a release next week. There's too much good stuff constantly being released to wait for Axl's 20+ year old unfinished ideas... The General really cemented that.

The Struts announced a show at a cool theatre in Vancouver, looks like I'll be seeing them for the 2nd time in under a year.

I’d love a stripped down GNR show
Gordon Comstock replied to jacdaniel's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Rocket Queen and Prostitute are great closing songs for similar reasons - they're good songs on their own, and they perfectly encapsulate those albums. The first half of Rocket Queen is sleazy while the second half is more personal, but the whole song has a nice groove. It's the G and R side combined into one song and it actually works. My point was that it doesn't sound good live anymore, and the extended jams in the middle get tiring. This lineup would sound better on songs like You Ain't The First and Black Leather. -

I think they're at a point where they could drop Civil War and Estranged. I know, I know, Estranged is their best song, blah blah blah. It sucks the energy out of a stadium show. If Axl sang it with the lower voice it might be better received, but for whatever reason, he doesn't want to do that. If they're gonna play a longer song that most of the crowd isn't into, I'd take Locomotive or TWAT over Estranged these days. Rocket Queen and KOHD need to be shortened, I wouldn't mind if they dropped RQ or at least alternated it with YCBM. Replace Slither with a TSI? song or Marseilles... hell they could replace it with Children Of The Revolution if that's released before they tour again. But the novelty's worn off and Axl sounds dreadful on the chorus. I know some people here are stoked they're playing Reckless Life, but man Axl struggled on that one in Vancouver last year. It was one of the songs where he was dropping lines/notes, and it's a deeper cut that didn't get a big pop from the crowd, he doesn't need to strain himself by singing it at every show. I'd like to hear them bring back The Garden and You Ain't The First. Black Leather would be cool, and could be alternated with Down On The Farm. Alternate between Raw Power, So Fine and maybe You Ain't The First as an Axl/Duff duet before Duff's solo spot. -
Children Of The Revolution
Gordon Comstock replied to Gordon Comstock's topic in GUNS N' ROSES - DISCUSSION & NEWS
Are they both rumoured to be on the same Michael Schenker song? He thought was working on 2 or 3 projects, and Axl and Slash were on different ones... been a while since I read anything about it though. -
Children Of The Revolution

2017 - there were plenty of rumours about this recording at the time -
In case there was any doubt: Original instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5VV5yTs8o3/ Seems like the first 'fresh' recording since the reunion is in fact a cover, is Axl/Slash/Duff and Zak (Ringo Starr's son), and may be released soon.

They've only been teasing this album and playing songs live for like 3 years, so it's not too bad. I posted their single Daydreaming on page 2 of this thread almost a year ago They released an occasional single and Anderson .Paak has released tons of good music, I can't really complain if it took them this long to really get back together for an album and hopefully tour. The singles have all been great so far.
