This news should excite me, but it's discouraging because it appears to indicate there never was an album with a planned release "within six months" (which would have been spring). Then Fernando came back and said due to covid, plans changed.

So are we supposed to believe their working on even more new music?

I'll bet there never was an album done. Sad.

I think you all misunderstood what Fernando said. And you are just choosing to hear what you want to believe.

He actually said that within six months there was going to be a three hour meeting to discuss the possibility of maybe talking about the potential for a future album to be quite seriously considered to be maybe worked on and even perhaps be in contention for Axl to vaguely contemplate to release. So yeah, concrete plans in the world of GnR.

Maybe they made an agreement that they do mostly CD2 stuff for the first release and all new stuff for the next. And since the first one is already finished and they don't want long gaps between albums once they're rolling...

Yeah, right.

You made a spelling mistake. Once theyr'e trolling...   is what you meant to write.

If Axl's writing new songs I expect a bunch of anti-Trump stuff. That could be dated if Trump loses this November and the album is out next year.

If he's re-elected they will call the single 'November Pain'...

Slash couldnt even dream of playing technically as Buckethead or even Bumblefoot...

He doesnt need to though...he acomplished much more than those with a few guitar tricks and thats what makes him special. His music has always been driven by melody mainly...

Of couse he can play some scales fast enough but speed never has been his trademark or his strength

This. How many iconic, arguably best ever in the genre of rock, songs and riffs in songs, have Buckethead or Ron come up with. Zero. They are both amazing but that's a fact.

Pretty sure they have all been bitched about. 

Dizzy got slammed for a video with Axl and BBF on an Australian news channel. Axl goes to speak and dizzy interupts with some shit story. 

The old guys were bitched about when the rapidfire demos were released. Oh and Hollywood Rose: The roots of Guns n roses was released. 

I’m pretty sure people have even complained about Axl’s cat. It’s gained weight over the years you know, and it’s hair became more grey. That fucking cat...

I feel he can still let it rip totally....but for preservation reasons he just can't on tours that go on and on and on. No one could. Things are being spread too thinly in the name of greed for the live show money. 

Totally agree mate!

There's plenty of positivity here. When it's merited. 

I liked it and am grateful to hear Axl sing. I thought he was actually good, some parts I can hear his rasp and old razor-blade voice just under the surface, and I think you prick-tease Axl. Just let it rip for once and show us what ya’ got! But the truth is he probably can’t do it. That slight hint of his old voice that peeks through every now and then makes me remember why he’s my all-time favourite vocalist and frontman.

Yeah, na...

Looks like his own studio though.

Won't be upset if that's the case.

Would rather a new SARC album please

On the bright side - MetallicA live in Melbourne 2013 is today’s offering on their channel.

If only GNR......🙄

Sweet! I was at that Metallica gig, front row on the rail. 

Yep = GnR are the anti-Metallica

You don't know these people at all! Stop making assumptions and acting like you have them all figured out because you know as little as anyone else here.

Well said mate, so many experts here that know enough to judge other people because they read in a magazine some shit. 
 

Only those involved truly know. For the rest of us we can read and wonder, and simply enjoy the entertainment value of it all.

"time to move on..." it does not really work with GN'R :-D

btw it doesn't belong here. my post belong to the 2006 Rock Am Ring Topic. what the hell

I also thought Axl looked great back in 2006, so you are not alone.

Yeah, I tried using it but it's hard to follow. 

Members that have visited MYGNR or discord? 

 

Both I guess, but genuinely curious about how many people visit here at MyGnrforum

I met Mark when I was in LA, he was just great and veryyy kind. He showed me aññ GnR stuff he has in Canters Deli and spent some time with and my girlfriend.

He also signed his book for me.

It was great meeting him

I’ve met Marc as well, absolutely lovely guy and didn’t say a bad thing about Axl or anyone when we sat down and chatted. I hope his stuff does see the light of day when he is ready to make it happen. If it is stuff that he recorded way back in the 80’s then surely that belongs to him? I would like to think that ownership is entirely his and that Guns n’ Roses has no claim to it or power over it at all?

WTF is with people using discord for gnr chat? last I checked mygnr was still the largest gathering of guns fans. 

It would be interesting to know how many members are here, as in active members that for example have visited this place in 2020, or that have posted in 2020. Would it be in the hundreds?

Like I said not  debating. Also nothing to be sorry about for my disability. I work for a major news company whose boss ran for the Democratic nomination to be President of the United States. I'm going to  grad school in the fall for my MBA. No need to feel sorry for me at all.  Keep in mind that you are creating jokes and one day you can have a disability as well. All it takes is a millisecond to acquire one. Additionally, the human body breaks down as the body ages. 

Good for you, sounds like you are doing great. By the way, I worked in a Rotary camp for children with disabilities in Akron Ohio for three months in my early 20’s, Which I loved and where I developed a passion for working with people with disabilities and therefore spent the next ten years of my life back here in Australia doing just that. Mostly children and young adults with severe disabilities. So you don’t need to debate anything with me dude. Furthermore, I have very personal experience with milliseconds changing someone’s life. My sense of humour helps me in life, and I don’t see cracking a joke on a GnR forum like I did, to be the end of the world. But you are entitled to your opinion on that. 

Good luck with your MBA, I would love to do one. Maybe one day...

I don't want to start a debate, but I don't find this to be funny at all. I was born with a short left arm.  You may want to think about who visits this board before writing next time.  

Nah mate, I won’t be worrying about who visits this board when i write. Do you think people worry about overweight people on this board when they call Axl fat? I’m sorry about your short arm but I think you’re being a bit over sensitive about my joke. It’s not really comparable to your condition. Rick Allen lost his arm speeding in his car and had an accident. It was self-inflicted. He also could have killed someone innocent driving like a tool. Lucky for him he didn’t and still went on and continued a good career drumming for Def Leppard.

Thanks! Its so hard to keep track of everything.

Ah, my mistake. I'm thinking of Zeppelin. I know it was down by the something water.

I don't actually think they're shit. Its actually interesting to hear the process and what was clearly in his head at times. And honestly, some of them sound like they could be really cool songs if Axl only gave them the time of day. The instrumentals are not bad, but the only reason I deem them unessential and am deleting them after I listen is that if there's no Axl then there's zero CLASSIC GNR people. As you say, it really could just be ANYTHING you hear online, so if there's nothing uniquely GNR about it I'm getting rid of it. But I still think its interesting to hear and knowing who the people are playing its cool. I just don't think they warrant repeat listens. I'd rather teach my friend to play them and then record him if its just gonna be instrumental lol. You're totally right though that without vocals, its basically nothing.

I agree with everything you say mate, hearing them and the process is interesting. And yeah if Axl put some effort into the songs and put his touch on them they would be so much better for it. Axl has a way of turning things into something glorious !

My hard drive shat itself a while back and I no longer have these

 

Is anyone able to help?

Your hard drive shat itself, well because the majority of them were shit!  

I liked anything with Axl’s vocals but the majority of other stuff was crap that millions of people around the world could probably come up with, given just a little bit of talent and a computer/studio. I’m really seeing why those leaks failed to make the final cut, most of it deserved to be buried in a storage locker.

He looks good. But I have a question: where is his left arm? 

He’s doing his best Rick Allen impersonation 😄

That little bit of grey is much like Joe Perry's grey.   Maybe he entertaining going in that direction. 

 

Btw... I'm mid-40s, almost ENTIRELY grey now... starting getting grey a bit in my 20s.... ugh..... but I still have a full head of hair- so there's that,  I suppose. 😎😎😎

That's all I got

Damn...2 years and 44 posts.... I'm on fire🔥🔥🔥

Same here man. Late 40’s and mostly grey. Even my balls. All three of them. It’s so embarrassing...

As far as I’m concerned bands who are more present and/or productive during the pandemic are not suddenly altruistic public servants. They are just adapting their business models.

we are just seeing two types of business. 

1) cold, corporate and disinterested (Guns)

2) entrepreneurial. Being creative in how they bring their wares to market. Innovating how they remain in the public eye (most bands).

IMHO, from that perspective it’s the entrepreneurial bands who are more money hungry. On the other hand, entrepreneurialism is a form of creativity. So those bands are also more vital creatively (from a certain point of view).

I agree, your right about alot of bands, celebrities, artists etc... There is a lot that just desperately want to remain relevant and in the public eye. This mainly to remain lucrative and keep the money coming in, or at least try to reduce the financial damage of Covid-19 and stay out there for when things come back to closer to normal. Guns n' Roses don't seem to get that, or don't care. They take their fan base for granted. They keep dragging in big crowds but one day it will reduce significantly. By that stage though, the big three would have made their millions, and the others hopefully will have saved and invested wisely their hundreds of thousands, as guys like Franks and Richard are going to go back to making bugger all when the Guns' bandwagon ends.
