YCBM is way too hard for Axl to sing. I think they should replace it with Bad Obsession or something like that
agree axl was just getting to puffed out.

I still think "milking the tour" will consist of an even more expensive, theater style tour for this lineup through major markets.
There is still money to be made in asia and australia. I reckon skmc if they are getting together end december possibly have a mixed album start of april and hit the road...wasnt world on fire recorded and mixed in 3 months during the summer of 2014?. It was done very quickly because they toured Aus feb 2015 and i thought that album was a very close guns sounding album.

If they don't take this momentum into the studio it would be a huge mistake. No wait a bigger mistake would be Axl/DC does anyone in their right mind seriously want that? I would be so pissed. It's cool he helped them out but it's time to put AC/DC to bed. Older fans like myself have been waiting a long time. This tour has blown away expectations use this down time to hopefully work on something or at least put out a live record out. But please for the love of all that is good in the world don't kick me in the nutz with this Axl/DC shit that would be horrible. Keep this ball rolling! I'd rather listen to an Axl/Mellissa solo record than anything with Angus.
With the passing of malcolm and the fact ac/dc will have no original members other than angus, its time angus retired ac/dc for good.

15 for me. He never got involved in the band politics and although he replaced izzy never said anything bad about the guy. He did what he did well, and he comes across as an a plus guy.

Remember CD came out and there was no major promotion for it. Axl pretty much disappeared for the next year and was apparently non responsive to label requests that he does some interviews. I don't know how true that is though.
Think there was definitely some shenanigans, I mean the whole having a video made for better and not releasing it? that perplexes me.
Makes me wonder if the recordings were yanked from Axl and the record company mixed it themselves and told Axl this is going to be the final recording or they would sever all ties, or possibly sue to recoup any of the recording or mixing costs.

Is that really a Quote from Axl?
Yes it is. Found that interview online a couple of days ago. Possibly to give himself more validation that the songs on CD are better than the appetite+illusions recordings. His sessions for CD were mostly disorganised and not recorded in an organic way of having each band member in a studio and just jamming why hes so negative with remembering the illusion recordings compared to the directionless sessions for CD is beyond me.

Right - it seems almost like Interscope/Azoff and Axl were playing chicken with each other. Axl probably expected a UYI style grand launch and the label just wanted to do the bare minimum without having to throw even more cash into the CD money pit for promotion. It's like they screwed each other but Best Buy got the worst of it. The label probably didn't make much if any profit with CD (they may still be in the red with CD) and Axl shot himself in the foot by refusing to promote his magnum opus thereby guaranteeing that it would underperform. As a consequence, this probably helped seal the fate of Chinese Democracy 2.
I guess Azoff saw the writing on the wall given that he was pushing hard for a reunion. From what I understand, Azoff had to move mountains to get Chinese Democracy released and work out a deal that Interscope and Axl would both sign off on. The relationship between Interscope and Axl was probably at a complete standstill after they cut him off the tab in 2004. The Merck fiasco in 2006 no doubt made things even more acrimonious.
Consider the irony of the whole situation. You're talking about one of the biggest bands of all time (rock royalty) - led by one of the greatest singer/frontmen of all time - with a near perfect multi-platinum track record and a global fanbase thirsty for new music. How bad does the situation have to be that the label needs motivation to even release an album that they supported with the biggest recording budget..ever? How bad does the situation have to be that they kill the followup album even after Chinese went multi-platinum? Working with Axl must have been an unbearable situation where the ROI didn't seem worth the headache.
It will be interesting to see if Interscope gets involved with a new GnR album - after the NITL tour becomes the #2 biggest tour of all time by the end of 2018. IIRC, Axl still owes them another album. Maybe they'll do a greatest hits package and wash their hands of the relationship - or maybe they already released Axl from whatever contract they had him under? It's been nearly a decade since Chinese and they haven't bothered to release anything with or without Axl's approval. It could be that perhaps the stipulation for supporting another release would only be if Slash was back in the fold - seems plausible enough. Maybe that's part of the reason the reunion started to shape up - there was no way Axl could release an album otherwise.
Any record executive will full well know with slash and duff in the band, more slash is the reason this tour is making money. Which means Interscope wiould have given Axl an ultimatum - any new music you release that Interscope will promote will be with slash and duff" if not Interscope will sever all ties.

My thoughts are either axl coukdnt find any inspiration or he doesnt know how to translate musical thoughts/ideas onto tape easily and we just have a mishmash of beeps and sounds. The producers he worked must have felt they were trying to pull teeth to help translate ideas to sounds. Maybe he thought " shit ive disbanded a group and i dont know what musical journey i want to go on". Wasnt industrial music all over by 2001?.

From the official AC/DC page - my thoughts are the next AXL/DC record will be a herald back to the old days in memory of George and Malcolm.

“It is with deepest sorrow that we inform you of the death of Malcolm Young, beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother. Malcolm had been suffering from Dementia for several years and passed away peacefully with his family by his bedside.”
Renowned for his musical prowess Malcolm was a songwriter, guitarist, performer, producer and visionary who inspired many. From the outset, he knew what he wanted to achieve and, along with his younger brother, took to the world stage giving their all at every show. Nothing less would do for their fans.
Malcolm is survived by his loving wife O'Linda, children Cara and Ross, son-in-law Josh, three grandchildren, sister and brother.
While thanking all for their overwhelming support and heartfelt condolences, the family ask that you respect their privacy during this time of heartbreak and grief.
For those wishing to send messages to the family please visit the Sydney Morning Herald Malcolm Young Memorial website which will be available next week.
The family have asked instead of flowers to send donations to The Salvation Army.
THANK YOU GN’R!
