Full time couch potato is the most likely next job, if he isn’t already doing that.

I love seeing newer generations appreciating good music. My kids have grown up listening to GnR, Elvis and many other great bands. I wanted them to appreciate real artists and music rather than all the contrived music made from computer programs. They still like most of the new stuff I can’t stand (can’t stop it) bit at least it gives them a well rounded appreciation of all eras of music.

My 12 year old son who was 4 months old when CD came out (and was with me in Best Buy first thing in the morning) asked me an odd question the other day while driving in the car listening to a GnR tune. He asked if GnR was a “dead band”. I asked what he meant, and he basically said a band who still plays but doesn’t release any new music. I was surprised by his keen observation and had to agree with that assessment. I told him we’ve been told for many years that we have been told new music was being worked on, but still nothing. I never looked at it this way as I’ve always fallen for the sa

I hope your right. I was excited at first when Slash said that they were working on stuff. Now after going on 5 years, all the comments seem just like all the past empty promises from all the other past band members

COVID didn’t kill GnR. They’ve done that job all on their own. If anything, the lockdown should of given them all the time they need to finish up the new album they were supposed to be working on. The fact that they are not doing anything, is completely ridiculous and probably means there really isn’t anything going on behind all the smoke and mirrors. Most people’s lives have gone to a “new normal” and people are still moving forward. Most struggling business owners are working even harder to find out a way to keep things going. Only these spoiled wealthy celebrities have the ability to

Please no more covers. New songs or cut the set. I have no interest in hearing any more covers

Maybe the pinball machine release ended up taking all there time and creative energy away from the music.

Hard to believe still no new music but we can spend thousands on a pinball machine.

I totally agree. I was still excited to get it. I actually loaded up my two small kids at the time and was at Best Buy when they opened to get it. I still like the record, just disappointed on what could have been. There were several members including Axl, that said a follow up wouldn’t be nearly as long a wait. Well, 12 years later, I’m still waiting.

I was able to go to the Pittsburgh PA show. Unbelievable show by both bands. It poured during the end of Metallica and between sets. Both bands were on the top of their game. The energy in the crowd was indescribable unless you were there. This was a time in rock history we sadly may never see again. Glad I got to witness it.

The lack of success of cd was basically all axl’s fault. No record could live up to the hype of 14 years of hype and speculation. At this point, the record was famous for all the wrong reasons and became something like Greek mythology. Once it was released, reality set in that this was just a good record. It didn’t live up to the myth (nothing would of). If this record came out in 98 or 99 it would of been huge. All that and then account for the change in the music industry and it was set for failure.

I’m looking forward to it too. I’m glad there a bunch of shows supposed to happen before this. Hopefully by that point, Axl is in good vocal form.

“Soon” 😅

I’ll have to give that a try. Last time I asked for a meximelt they told me they don’t have them anymore.

They also got rid of the meximelt too, which was always my favorite. Sadly, this is the type of news to be commenting on currently. GnR really needs to do something new “soon”.
