Damn I thought he will perform some of the new songs instead of just bring part of the house band

From his covers album, isn't that the same as being in the house band?

It's just yet another "we have to ask him" / "I can't tell you anything" bit, nothing to see here. Last time I remember something of value was him saying they haven't gotten to writing new songs yet, just working on the old Axl demos. 
Obviously, he could just be deliberately obfuscating, because he knows as soon as he'd drop a bombshell like naming some brand new GNR song, he'd never see the end of the constant questions ensuing. And since Axl got butthurt regarding all that pre-CD "promises" and delays and shenanigans, the consensus here is that he's told the guys to keep it under the lid until he is ready... 

This is the most likely scenario based on their history. I'll revert back to 'nothings coming and if I'm wrong, well great', type of thinking.

I remember him saying working on new music (just him) some years back, but I don't remember him ever using the term "new songs". 

Thanks. Could this be a publicity headline grab? Hope it's true though and something results within the next 2 years. But then again, I've been waiting since 2008 for a follow up. But with saying that, content with leaks and creating our own makeshift boxset. 

When was the last time Slash said they were working on new songs? 

Getting into Buckethead more these days and want to know more about his story in gnr/entry/exit of the band. What's the best site for this complete info? 

Deep purple w/lan Gillian. 

& hopefully Born Again album remix by Sabbath. 

Unsure about an album coming, but would love to see Atlas/Monsters & OMG on a single release. 

That would poetically tie up the CD era/hybrid songs, and have their first song without Slash.... With Slash.

just my opinion, but this album never takes off. I don't want to be too negative so I'll keep it short, but I have no interest in listening to any track from this album again. doesn't sound inspired or interesting. a few moments when it felt like to me it was going to go someplace interesting but it fell flat.

glad that many seems to like it around here though.

Totally agree. It was good listening to it, and makes good back ground music but won't ever put it on to "listen" to an album going forth AND he may well get a Grammy for one of these covers. But, imo, Slash alone has had half dozen magical highlights outside of GNR, but his true magic seems to be when he has chemistry and is pushed/feeds off. He was one of the Gun's in the Rose and without that/the supporting chemistry, his work is not as great as his name, imo. VRs Slither was one of those highs imo, yet without that particular drummer/singer/rythem guitarist, slither wouldn't be the monster it is. Afd owes so much to Steven for a portion of its chemistry imo. I was conflicted listening to it as I love Slash, but when I asked myself if I would like it if his name was not attached, I thought, hell no.

Glad every one likes it though. Lol, just discovered Bucket head's Jordan track 😂

Totally agreed! I'm working hard to become that person now. I think what has me feeling that way is I found my friend and someone I'm comfortable with but she didn't respect certain boundaries and was unfaithful towards the end of the relationship.

It's a tough one when one is unfaithful, sorry dude. Character is a massive attribute and it's easier said than done but needs to be on any list for potential relationships. I learnt through a series of relationships and it became something I started looking for in a partner.

Has anyone else become jaded towards relationships and dating? I shouldn't have this mindset at 26 but the whole process is exhausting. I almost prefer staying single at this point and continuing to build my life

Nope, not becoming jaded. Just gotta find your friend. Someone you are comfortable with. Sounds like you haven't found it the first time, but hang in there, it will happen. Some old guy once told me, Become the person, you want to be with, ie, if you want a smart, generous loving person with a j.o.b who is well presented, you need to become that. 

Does anybody have info on the last track on Slash's new album? 

No singer attached to it, instrumental?

That said my favorite version of Oh Well that isn't the original is the cover from The Black Crowes with Jimmy Page

Didn't know they covered this, just checked it out and its awesome. Love finding new music this way, thanks. 

So sad, brilliant producer, love in utero.

how many SMKC records until new GN'R Album?

Same amount of years from when Slash left gnr 1st time, until CD release. Payback s a bitch 😂 

Airborne singer would have been cool.

Hell, even The General could have been an epic song if it actually went anywhere. 

 

 

It'll be interesting to hear original with bucket/Robin and how it was made to sound. As I'm in the camp that it doesn't go anywhere and meanders along without purpose.

But when I compare the NITL singles to the leaked ones then to me the official released versions are nearer to the GNR sound and no wonder because Slash’s sound was added. It’s not necessarily a quality thing. 

Yes that's true, but think the originals sound better despite the lower quality, imo

Any revelations with guns music? Not expecting anything, the wait from CD to Silkworms cover 😂, said it all lol. 

Could a CD boxset be a logistical nightmare given the amount of artists involved on different labels?

Well good news is that Born Again remix is on its way too. It's just a matter of when. Hopefully after this set. 

Been waiting for Born Again remix for a long time. Definitely my fav BS period. 

New song needs a Mick Mars touch. Can this band get any worse?

Sounds like the start of Riad married with an out of tune orchestra and some warbles....

Love Rhaid, demo version with Josh should have been the lead single...... Sorry, I'm going on trip tomorrow, and now I'm planning my ultimate soundtrack w/ alot of CD era songs. I digress, back to the convo

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.

Here here.... Well said. I move that we lock 🔒 this thread.

solo album confirmed

I thought this, but the rational angel on my shoulder reminded him not to expect any music. However, the wishful thinking child in me would love more bucket/Axl tunes...... Are they mates? Did bucket leave on good terms?

The bridge in "Elvis Presley and the Monster of Soul aka The Soul Monster (working title Leave Me Alone)" which will no doubt end up "Soul Monster". I think it's our most Black Sabbath moment. Sang it on a Christmas eve. Imo the meanest section of anything I've sung to date. Which having said that I'm sure when it's heard others may disagree but we felt it was a Christmas card of unadulterated venom so to speak. I felt a lot better afterwards. (Axl Rose , Here Today... Gone to Hell Forum, Dec. 2008)

That's so rock n roll. Love EP title. Thanks
