Hollywood Gunner

band was younger too... but forget gnr, i dont think any band nowadays can create any one album with as many classics on it... wttj and pc on afd, nr and dc on uyi1, estranged and ycbm on uyi2... pretty fuckin hard to beat... and im leaving out many others but i just cant see anyone ever putting together 2 songs of that caliber on one record but thats just me

i have pretty high hopes that we'll get a good album... not as good as afd or uyi cuz nothing can come close to that stuff but i think axl learned a lesson or two from cd and slash and duff are both great at being simple as fuck... we're gonna get a good straight up rock album with two or three weird ass songs that some will hate and some will love but at the end of the day i dont think even gnr can fuck this up

i wouldnt be surprised if the promoter has a "no-rant" clause... doesnt seem like anyone wanted to leave anything up to chance... i wouldnt even be surprised if the stagnant setlist is due to some type of contractuel agreement

is all this leak bullshit the reason why the forum isnt available in its usual format? i guess its easier for mods to control this way... but this is taking things little far... instead of controling what fans are talking about youd think management would try n crack down on whoever is leaking shit from within... and maybe realise if you stop people from talking about the band, some people will just say fuck you and just stop listening to the music altogether... leaks arent the reason people wont buy new music, illegal streaming sites after the music is released will... if anything leaks would encourage me to buy the real deal... if the musics any good obviously

You're theorizing that they booked Vegas dates just so they could play us a new song?

not necessarily. i just think its odd that they would play such a small venue at the end of such a huge tour... its wishful thinking on my part that theyll play new stuff or even that those will be the last two shows of the tour... maybe part of a live video shoot? idk... but i doubt its just because t-mobile was already booked...

also kinda reminds me of how they started the tour off with the troubadour gig... or how they ended the bumble/ashba era of gnr... and i know this is extremely wishful thinking but maybe theyll be saying goodbye to frank and richard lol

im trying not to be too realistic here and think its just another way to gouge fans for 1500$ a ticket

i see them maybe playing a new song at those small vegas shows but i dont think we'll see anything new at those arena shows... those vegas shows seem odd and outta place

smaller venues make it much easier to assure theres no one in the crowd recording

i dont think fortus has a fuckin clue what itll sound like besides for the guitar parts he lays down in the studio and he'll probably only find out a few days before all of us what the rest of the album sounds like.

first show of the new album tour will be at a bowling alley while theres a ribfest going on outside

slashs post-gnr work was just as mediocre as CD imo... its the two of them writting stuff together that i wanna hear... not some cd leftovers with slash overdubs while throwing some axl vocals onto some slash ideas from 5-10 years ago... so many people wanting exactly that just goes to show how low the standards of the gnr fanbase has become over the years because of the lack of quality material. i have faith in these fuckers, even if izzy isnt involved

i get that there are quite a few people here that really enjoy the CD era and want the leftovers real bad but we havnt had and album co-written by axl and slash in fucking forever... i want the new album to be as far from CD as possible... i dont hate the album but its like been there done that now... its time for some fuckin rock n roll... i know it would be better than nothing but personally id be dissapointed if we get CD2

and i expect the marketing hype to be through the roof... if they had billboards all over the place to hype up that afd boxset, i cant imagine what we'll see for an album of new material... if there are any leftovers i expect it to be uyi leftovers... and even if there are a few cd era tracks on there im pretty sure they wont be marketed as such cuz the average fan doesnt give a flying fuck about cd

since its slash this time maybe we can get some jack daniels instead of dr. pepper ? 

seriously though, weve been waiting for a proper follow up to the illusions for a fucking quarter century... and i fucking pray to god this is it

moby is a fucktard. not cuz axl wont talk to him. hes just fuckin weird. too many hellucagenics will do that to you i guess... and although i think he woulda fit in with the sideshow which included buckethead and fincks reverse mullet, im kinda glad he wasnt involved in CD, because it woulda made it even harder for gnr to recover from that album than it already was

the only member of gnr that actually misses pitman. hes taking all of mother goose's shit now

id be curious to see who eats all the shit if ever afd 5 renite. obviously it would be popcorn for the most part but at least he can play the sympathy card because of his stroke.

tbh i try not to hate on anyone while theyre still in the band... i wait till they get booted... except ashba 😂 fuck ashba from day 1

difference between the chemistry back then and the chemistry now has nothing to do with drinking... has to do with their goal in life imo

goal back then : get rich as fuck

goal today : stay rich as fuck

goals back then required much more effort than their goal today

the fact that hes not talking could be a good thing. up until a few weeks ago we were getting vague answers like yeah its something wed like to start looking at eventually... could mean somethings seriously in the works now 🤞

Maybe he thinks it's based on true events 

wasnt it? based on axls dog ? 

regardless of what song hes talking about fuck that piece of trash, and fuck esquire. i wont even give him a fuckin click... the title of the article is enough... and the reason we're still rewarding gnr in 2019 is because afd alone is worth more than anything this scumbag "blogger" will ever amount to

this news isnt a leak or an accident. anyone close to axl slash or duff know that if they let the cat outta the bag without the green light from tb, that theyll have lawsuit after lawsuit to deal with until theyre living on the street

best news since the reunion shit dropped. this isnt a rumor. slash recording at axls studio can only mean one thing.  and the fact that some random dude just dropped this outta nowhere kinda reminds me of when slash just dropped the reunion bomb in some obscure swedish interview. the reunion happened not very long after. my guess is new songs debut at those festivals and an album in november... with a super deluxe edition including more temporary tattoos ready to hit the shelves for xmas

if any of the band members actually gave real answers to the hard questions everyone wants answered, then fans wouldnt have to assume shit

i think slash doesn't agree so much with izzy and matt not being there but Duff on the other hand probably has zero fucking problem with it at all 

if either of them had that much of a problem with it, they wouldnt be there either

Yeah it reminds me too much of the DJ Ashba era where they were trying too hard. It could be cool for one song maybe but after that it's rather silly.

yeah i dont think they need to be out there for the whole show either. maybe for ISE and rocket queen... and although i may like a certain amount of sleeze, ashba was too sleezy for my liking lol

they need to bring the strippers back... they probably decided to remove them so the show would be more PG13 seeing how a lot of older fans were bringing their kids and such but personally i would like a little more sleeze please

youve listened to tenderness a few times in your car already 😂

I've always thought Axl made Slash better

totally agree but the opposite is also true. slash made axl better

source : chinese democracy vs. appetite and the illusions

 those two were born to be in the same band... its like slashs guitar is an extension of axls voice and vice-versa... they just dont sound the same without one another
