Zeppelin

The time I met a snow storm in a 1986 Axl Rose.

Personally, once Cut of the Jib and JUNKYARD ROCK STORIES DOT COM start discussing these rumours, I hop on the 100% real train again. I mean, 2025 is all-but-confirmed at this point.

Wishing you all the best!

Gonna be the new forum meme. "Who's to say? There is no new album."

He was only quick on someone else's schedule, honestly. He still hasn't even updated his own website.

RIP Pele.

Can't wait for the new album!

Pretty cool if you were in the audience for that.

The General is awful and I never listen to it. Monsters isn't that great either, but it's at least a bit better than The General. So, I listen to it now and again.

I think the songs sound atrocious. But if people like them and their sound, that's fine. Everyone has their preferences. I definitely don't listen to the finished songs, though. The leaks are still my go-to.

Yeah, it makes no sense. "In this day and age..." Come on, Duff. Even legacy bands all around you are releasing albums. This is how I know there won't ever be an album released. They don't even think in terms of albums anymore. Too busy worrying about streaming numbers, singles, etc. Millions of artists still put out albums. This ho hum, back and forth, "well, we just don't know how we'd release it" bullshit is as lame as Absurd's lyrics. If they actually went into a studio and recorded some bloody songs, they would understand that an album can still be put together under the GNR name. Problem is, they're never going to do that for whatever reason.

So, we’ll go from loud, compressed singles to a loud, compressed album from Watt? Just get Clink again and hammer out some songs. We all know the producer isn’t the barrier here, so Watt isn’t going to pull some magic out of his arse to get a GNR album out before anyone else could.

By the time they officially release Monsters in 2026, they can focus on the Atlas/b-side (r-side, sorry) for 2027. After they plan all of 2027 to do one AFD5 show that will not actually happen, they can then hunker down to start throwing around ideas for a new album in 2028. Some solo albums/tours later, and we should have a new GNR album by 2032/2033. I guess, in GNR terms, that is still fairly soon. Soon is the word.

An absolutely abysmal song. And yet, I actually thought it would be worse.

I don't really buy a lot of that. Serious themes can make great hits. Just need to have the songs/songwriting behind them.
