10 bucks says this will literally never be updated again or lead to anything.
Axl starts projects, probably does put serious work on them, and then does nothing with them or it fails to materialize. This is a pattern of over 20 years and until proven otherwise I will assume nothing will change.

One of the best Axl lines of all time is the Nightrain from 2009 where he just does the first verse an entire octave higher. Not sure if it’s cheating to count that in its entirety for this thread, but ive never seen him do something like that before or after, and it was one of the best and most underrated Axl moments of all time.

I do feel like I’ve personally gotten closure as a CD fan and don’t really know if I care about a new album happening anymore. We’ve already basically gotten CDII at this point, between the 5 reunion tracks, Atlas, Going Down, SoG and Nothing. There’ll always be a few stray titles that we’ll never hear anything about but generally speaking, I’m fine with the discography ending here and probably won’t be ever expecting new music again. If it happens, great, if not, we have gotten the absolute bare minimum of what CDII could’ve been.

Cool news, but like with everything GNR, I’ll believe it when I see it. This could very well just be another GNR project we never hear another thing about, especially if Axl is in charge of mixing his vocals. I’m hoping between this and the other rumored cover we’ll at least hear something with Axl this year.

I agree that Axl doesn’t see time or aging the same way any of us do. I think what’s interesting is how he used to say Sillkworms/Absurd was the next single back in the early 2010’s, and look what happened. Same sort of principle of him thinking he is young or seasoned enough to bust out songs like Black in Back in 2022 before realizing he sounds like dogshit on it. In Axl’s mind, the new 4 are really “the new songs”. He would refer to Hard Skool as a new single over a year after release.

No Axl is monumentally dissapointing. Guess those two are just never going to collaborate on a piece of new music for the rest of their lives? How hard would it have been for Axl to drag his lazy ass into a studio for one day to help out his friend who saved his entire band from playing bowling clubs?

The worst possible thing Axl could do is a show like this. He would expose the horrible state of his voice to 10's of millions of people. There would be viral memes, news articles, and it would genuinely be some of the worst publicity he's received in his life. If you enjoy being a GNR fan you better damn hope he never agrees to do it.

The fact people are still arguing about Taylor Swift on here is incredibly embarrassing.
When there’s no album coming out and nothing else to discuss, the forum will probably end up discussing every artist known to mankind eventually and then some.
Who wants to discuss Ariana Grande next?

It's interesting to imagine how CD would have been received had it been given a proper launch.
Release Better as the first single then follow it up with This I Love. Videos for both.
There Was A Time should have been the third single.
I really think if you released the same exact album and just said Slash played on it, it would’ve done 10x better. There would be many casuals and possibly fans who would’ve then felt they had the right to appreciate the music and wouldn’t feel like they automatically hated it. It’s a great album with many highlights that never got the love it deserved.

Great job! Would love to see this make its way into the GNR set. Very cool.

This is complete shit. This is unironically one of the worst things I’ve ever seen in my life. What a fucking disgrace to this band’s legacy.

Use of AI is lame af. Coming from a company that apparently creates things.
They'll be fine when they go out of business because nobody wants to pay them and uses AI instead, I guess!
If GNR specifically asked them to use AI then that's just as bad and they are equally as lame for it.
This one screams to me no one on the band had any creative input. The company probably just made the video with clips and AI and sold it to GNR. Extremely soulless and embarrassing, I can’t believe this pile of shit will be in the same catalog as the November Rain and Estranged videos. Hell, this makes the Perhaps video look like a geniune masterpiece.

AI is sheer laziness. With this bands money generated they really can’t afford to pay artists?

If GNR actually had a future with albums and a genuine need to keep Axl’s voice sharp, then yes, in retrospect it would’ve been a mistake. Considering instead they’ve become more or less a nostalgia band and whatever songs they release use ancient vocals anyways, it wasn’t a mistake, and Axl may as well have gone out with a bang if he was going to destroy his voice anyways.

I would say Monsters, which we thought was The General, was a big gun and lived up to the hype.
The issue was that Monsters isn’t The General and never was. But that being said I think The General is a great song and people are being mad for no reason.

Well everyone, it was a fun ride. Would’ve never guessed we’d get The General this year. For me personally I think the discography has closed and ended so I see this as the end of the era. Not saying nothing else will never happen but I don’t expect anything and don’t feel like there’s a lot left. These 5 songs + some demos makes me feel like we have heard CDII.

I asked the same question re: the school bell a while ago. I don't like it, but not to the point to it ruining the song for me. But it apparently does ruin it for a lot of people.
It’s incredibly stupid but I’m surprised how much it ruins it for people. It’s short and I just move on and enjoy the song.

And meanwhile, Axl will continue to do nothing besides play GTA and vaguely tweet about politics.

I think a release on the 8th is more likely. People have tried finding it on Tidal and it doesn’t show up. Not to mention it takes a bit of time before the website redirects before a release, not the night before. Also it would’ve been out already in New Zealand and Australia, etc.

Looks great. Would be a cool artwork for an album honestly.

You release an album, you get CDs, Booklets, magazine and newspaper reviews, interviews (well maybe not) you get 1 or 2 singles released to build the anticipation. Then it arrives you get 14 songs. I like track 3 and 5 best, listen to them loads, you prefer track 7 and 8. after a couple weeks i think well faceless turtle loves them, let me hear them again properly, then boom they hit me, i feel that love, and the cycle continues, to the point where eventually the whole album means loads to me and now i can spend a whole hour listening to it al the way through singing every word and picking up instrumental bits i never heard before. How it flows between songs, trying to find hidden messages.
One song every two years? lame as fuck. Look how hyped we were for 10 years for the general. there was a week of mass hysteria when it got leaked, then, dead. now no one gives a fuck. if that was part of an album, we'd be still bringing it up constantly with every other songs. GnR have completely fucked CD2. It should have come 2010. then it should have come 2014. then it should have come 2021 in full with slash and duff. Instead we're about to hit 2024 with only 3 songs over 3 years officially released currently. Lame as fuck
Well said. It really should’ve come out in like 2004. Axl has fucked up more than any successful musician in the history of music.

Can’t find the old thread but just wanted to talk about this song for a second.
Ive been listening to “Nothing” quite a bit recently. Something about it is so interesting to me. I try not to take it too seriously since it was probably only a proof of concept with scratch lines and lyrics, but there’s a part of me that see it’s as this almost heavenly, otherworldly song. Even the way the drums are, they feel like they have an echo or something I can’t describe. It’s so mysterious as well because this song was just never (afaik) talked about by the band, never even treated as anything seriously minus that .txt list mentioning it that I see discussed a lot.
I assume this song would be cut from any future releases. Doesn’t strike me as the type of song Slash and Duff would care for, and even if they did, we need to hear stuff like Atlas, SOG, Seven, etc first. Would be a fantastic album closer.
Does anyone else like this song or is it just universally considered a turd?

The defense will have it easy.
The defense has two different examples of this women saying her hooking up with Axl was consensual back in the day. Once in a video and another in her book. Now she is changing her story. She is going to have to explain why she claimed it was consensual back then and not now. it sounds like buyers remorse now, and its even shadier that she is filing right before the statute of limitations runs out. It looks like a money grab
If that evidence exists, then yes, the defense is in a good spot.
Axl has his own Website now

It’s a good point that he would be wise not to release an autobiography until the lawsuit is resolved. However, with his money, he’s very much able to just settle this lawsuit for practically whatever and whenever he wants to.
