  1. There is almost no chance a full-fledged new Guns record is ever released. The absolute best-case scenario you can hope for is that they decide to release an original (as in, completely new - not a rehash of any Chinese era song) track as part of a movie soundtrack or something. If someone writes a big enough check, I think that's a possibility somewhere down the road.

    What I don't get about Axl is him not wanting to be harassed by Fans and Paparazzi, but the man walks around with NO disguise. 🤔🤨🧐If I didn't want to be harassed by Fans and Paparazzi, I'd put on a disguise if I were him. A normal looking disguise albeit like dyed black hair and blue  contacts, cover up my Tattoos, put on a white T-shirt, blue jeans, not wear bracelets and watch. 

     

    I doubt he gets recognized much. He looks nothing like what the general public probably associates Axl Rose to look like. Only a die-hard GNR fan is going to recognize him in 2023.

    I wonder if anyone outside the forum knows that GN'R have other songs besides Sweet Child lol.  Pretty funny commercial, though, both  the girl's response and Slash's haha.

     

    There are tens of millions of disappointed people sitting at home right now wondering why he wasn't playing Atlas Shrugged in the commercial instead.

    Let's be honest, the sleeping in the stadium comment was most likely sarcasm – it certainly sounded like it! 😂

    As if he'd actually sleep in a football stadium 🤣

     

    Kanye West rented out and slept in the Atlanta Falcons (American football) stadium for like a full month last year while finishing recording his album Donda. So it's not out of the realm of possibility Axl would sleep in the stadium for one night.

    Yeah, I don't know why anyone is defending that. It's a sloppy, haphazard attempt at the solo. Slash can play it, or at least come close to it with his own interpretation. He just doesn't care. He's getting his money, so it doesn't matter.

    I don't think anyone is asking him to play it exactly like it is on the record. But it sounds like a high school talent show band playing Street of Dreams instead. Imagine Dizzy doing that with the intro. Just noodling all over the place until the guitar riff comes in. "Oh. Shit. It's Street of Dreams, apparently." Wouldn't make much sense.

     

    Judging by the reaction of the crowd during Street of Dreams, he's not the only one who doesn't care.

    Stop playing these songs. There's a dozen guys on a message board who care. The audience as a collective couldn't give a single fuck about them.

    He didn't sound good at all.. Nothing new, I don't hold that agaianst him.. He just doesn't have the voice anymore.  Everyone on stage and in the crowd still looked like they were having fun.  As a Gn'R fan, I just wish he would figure out a way to make himself sound good.  Even if that means a totally different approach and delivery..

     

    95% of the people in that audience are teens or 20-something's who have no real idea what Axl is supposed to sound like anyway. To them, he probably sounds perfectly fine.

    So no new music because of COVID 19? What's the next excuse?

    The band is a joke today

    The "band" is a joke?

    The majority of the members of this band practically live in the studio. Slash and Duff have each released albums separately since re-joining.

    There is one man, and one man only, that is responsible for the fact that "the band" has not yet released an album.

    I think no one knows exactly what kind of sound Axl was heading for, maybe not even Axl himself knew clearly.

     

    This really sums it up to me. One only needs to listen to Chinese Democracy to hear this smorgasbord of different ideas, influences, sounds, etc. all mashed up into one gigantic, directionless cluster.

    Time was Axl's worst enemy. It was mentioned earlier in this post that Axl wanted to sound like Pearl Jam. Then as time went on, he was heavily influenced by NIN, and the rap-rock craze with bands like Limp Bizkit. I recall an article where he kept going through drummers trying to find someone who could get the drum sound Dave Grohl had on Nirvana's albums.

    All the while, he's still got these classic rock/punk roots he's trying to be true to.

    Axl seemingly got lost in trying to be everything and everyone else besides just, being him, being Guns N' Roses, and when you have a mindset like that, it makes perfect sense why an album would take 14 years to make - because you're never caught up. You're constantly behind the 8-ball. Just when you've mastered that last idea, a new influence or new sound comes along that you want to try, and now you've got to play catch-up with that.

    You’re really going to tell me that sentence about Frank was a ringing endorsement about him as a drummer? I do agree about some of the other speculations being ridiculous but Slash completely, completely danced around the Frank question.

     

    No, I'm not going to tell you that. In fact, where did I ever say it was a ringing endorsement for Frank? You're pulling words out of thin air.

    What I'm telling you is it's not some subtle knock on the guy. I don't think Slash, at this point, really gives a shit who the drummer is. The reunion is about Axl, Slash and - to a lesser extent - Duff. Nobody except the diehards really knows, or cares, who the drummer is. I'm sure Slash and Frank get along fine. I don't expect Slash to gush like a schoolgirl with a crush over his drumming ability, but the fact that he's not doesn't mean he's trying to insult the guy.
