I wouldn't imagine 'pressure' is the term, but given their productivity and activities outside of the band, it must be clear they get restless- and surely they must have made rumblings about new music on several occasions and asked questions about it...otherwise even the little that has happened wouldn't have done. I can't see Axl being the driving force on them recording their additions, especially given he seemingly did nothing new himself to the tracks.

Well I think he's always wanted 'control' so it would make sense that he bought the masters- that's a move totally in keeping with what we know of Axl from the past. That he's in charge of everything. I can't fathom why someone who cared so much would let those production issues go through. It's so weird.

My best guess is these songs are getting released because of pressure from Slash and Duff, who are probably a bit embarrassed about the lack of music and sick of having people ask them about it in interviews. I'd wager musician friends of theirs in other bands ask a lot too. If Axl cared about these songs he wouldn't have allowed them to come out so badly mixed and produced. The impression that comes across is that he couldn't give a shit about how they sound.

Yeah, it's the modern world. I don't like it though, that everything has to be monetised and I'm a bit old school/old fashioned in terms of rock and roll being about the underdog, the poor kid and it not favouring the rich. I don't like the idea of some kid not even being able to meet someone in the street and get a signature. On that note....met Bruce Dickinson last week and he was super pleasant, chatty and down to earth.

Yeah I'd agree with that. I have no issue at all with the Chinese leftovers getting dusted down and released- but just do it. I don't see what possible advantage there is to sitting on them for months and months then releasing one song before killing the momentum again for another long period of time. If they came as an album, 10 or so songs, properly released and promoted, it would have far more impact.

Unreleased Steven Wilson Appetite Atmos Remix

You'd have thought the AFD mix would have been done at the time of the box set release though, for inclusion with that? My guess is it would have been intended to go on the Blu-Ray disc in that. -
Personally, I can't see it, looking at the band and the other acts on. I don't think people want/expect GNR really- they don't get it with SMKC especially (he does one GNR song) and this does seem to be going down a very different route. If people want GNR or SMKC, those things are out there touring frequently so I'd imagine he's going to see this as a chance to move away from all that stuff entirely. Will be interesting to see what he does, for sure though! I'm wondering if with the whole 'festival' thing Slash's set may be shorter than it would be regularly. Envious of people getting to go to this!

That's genuinely the first I've heard of this. So he did AFD and they decided to ditch it, then they got him back for UYI and did exactly the same? That's utterly bonkers. I read Wilson saying that he was baffled by them rejecting UYI but that they paid him and that's all he knew of the matter. -
Does it? I thought they were all on decent enough terms with each other? Obviously the Scott Weiland thing casts a shadow, but I can honestly see them doing VR again in some form. Hell, bring in Fortus, Dizzy and Melissa as well! That might give Axl a kick up the arse.
-
Putting Velvet Revolver back together with different singers might be a good option at this stage too. Would free them up to make music together and I'd certainly like to hear what they did.
-
I like SMKC so I'm happy if he goes down that route again, but yeah, otherwise I agree with you. Different and new is good and he seems to want to do that.

Sure. I'll happily continue to pay zero credence to vague comments about a new album until it actually happens. Others are more than welcome to get excited by these sorts of comments, as they have been since 2008. Cynicism is the only rational way to handle vague mentions of a new album, alongside waiting/hoping to be proved wrong. I'm not sure there's been any 'negative spin' needed in the past 16 years. There hasn't been a new album and it's highly possible there won't be one in the next 16. Good luck to you though if you think this means a new album is imminent.
