That video was rad

Rage Against the Machine.  3 great albums, followed up by a covers album. A break up and a few reunion tours but nothing else.  Zack even hurt his foot during the reunion tour.

 

System of a down is another, came out with a fire discography, broke up and they still do shows and tours but other than a couple of random songs they put out for charity a couple years ago nothing.

Perfect examples. I wholeheartedly agree with both of these.

I’ve nearly accepted a new album will not come out because both Axl and Slash fear it could be their “Done With Mirrors”.

Sorry

Wish covid was over but it's not. It's just that people want to get back to normal and I think it's rushing things yet again.

Guess everyone has to do what's best for them and their kids if you have any.

My department reported an outbreak last week. It’s frustrating.

What about cameo in the upcoming sequel to The Dead Pool?

So I finally had the chance to listen to this on mono (as I’m 75% deaf) and I think overall it’s great. The middle section starts good but there are 15 seconds or so there that aren’t quite right. If that bit wasn’t there, I’d almost put it there with YCBM. Mostly just glad for new material.

am i the only one not being able to access discussion and news?

No, I got banned notification and have no idea why. Now I can access *some* things. 

I like it, more so than some other cuts on Chinese, but not blown away by it. For me, it wouldn’t necessarily indicate the quality of the upcoming record. I recall Bad Apples being one of the first songs off of Illusions being played live before Estranged or Pretty Tied Up and I hated that song. I still hate it.

Maybe they were referring to the filler songs between those two albums, and not the hits like NR.

Fair enough.

It boggles my mind that even casuals overlook the UYI albums - their release was probably one of THE biggest events in regards to promotion and anticipation. Plus they sold ridiculous amounts too. So it always get me that folk go to the gigs and barely recognise the stuff.

I’m not sure how much I agree with this. November Rain has more views on YouTube than Sweet Child; recent popular internet polls listed Estranged as their best song.

Because every single album in those lists has been released! Not being able to tour has nothing to do with an album release slipping back a month or two in 2020 and then coming out!  

You named two bands who are currently recording new albums. Bit difficult to hold back the release of am album until you can tour when you haven't even recorded the album! So....who are these 'many' bands that are sitting on finished albums and not releasing them because they can't tour that you mentioned? Ones that haven't actually got an album to release clearly don't fall into that category! 

Hey though, whatever gets you through the day. If you honestly think GNR are just sitting there waiting to tour to drop a new album, then good for you. You've drunk the Kool Aid. 

I feel you may be very very disappointed by this time next year though. 

 

It is if you’re hoping to re-create a half-billion dollar tour.

And I’m just stating a viewpoint, not something to get me through the day. The bassist’s wife said new music is coming and then a major pandemic occurs.

if nothing happens, then sure I’ll be disappointed. But why would anyone who believes otherwise post in this specific thread other than to rain on someone else’s parade?

Lots of people believed Chinese would never get released or Slash and Axl would ever play again. They were wrong.

 Again, all these albums are now released! 

This is some pretty obvious stuff! 

Which bands are not releasing albums because they can't tour? 

 

I posted two articles which stated Covid delayed releases. I named two bands off the top of my head who stated this year not being able to tour is causing them to hold off releasing new material.

I’m not sure why there is any dispute on the pandemic causing delays on albums, tours or even new movies. Some choose to move forward to release something new; others choose to delay.

But every album on that list just got delayed a little bit- which was largely due to hold ups at the printing plants and distribution running slowly.  Some were delayed by just a couple of weeks. 

Both Megadeth and Mastodon spent 2020 recording their albums, so in no way have "not released a new album because they can't tour". 

So who are all these bands that aren't releasing stuff because they can't tour? 

The article specifically cites Covid as a reason. Don’t like that one?

Here’s one which lists 32 bands:https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/a-list-of-albums-delayed-due-to-coronavirus__29162/

The point is it is a reasonable assumption the pandemic threw a wrench in whatever they were trying to plan.

Which bands have said they don't want to release new material if they can't tour? Off the top of my head I can't think of one. All I can think of are bands that have.

So....when the tour picks up (probably on November) a new album will appear? Clocks ticking then. Because if it doesn't.....well, what will the excuse be then? 

Megadeth and Mastodon, off the top of my head. 

I think there’s enough evidence out there they were writing and recording new music with the hopes of releasing a new album and touring behind it.

Then the pandemic hit and nobody is able to tour.

Plenty of bands since the pandemic hit have straight up said they do not want to release new material and not be able to go out on tour to support it.

Vaccines are finally being produced and distributed (my Dad, a senior, and my cousin, a first year resident, received theirs already.) It is not unreasonable to think bands will be able to start touring 4th quarter and release new music, including Guns.

Leave it at that.

Most of this forum is full of hardcore GN'R fans. (Obviously) Our opinions really don't matter that much to GN'R camp, I'd imagine. Casual listeners and fans are their target. 

Most casual listeners and fans probably don't even know who's in the band now. A majority of people who bought or listened to Chinese Democracy probably though Slash was on that album. 

I think it’s a simple matter of the label and band wanting to recreate a $500 million tour. Last time, a reunited lineup was the draw. This time it will be a new album - but the impact of that album and its draw as a tour attraction is diminished because the band can’t tour behind it now. A tour of that size backing a new album also has sponsor commitments which cannot be met until the band can tour. Releasing a new album before they can tour behind it will diminish its impact.

This four band thing is the Motley, Poison, Def Lep and Joan Jett tour.

I have to say that it's interesting that this song got leaked after 18 years. Could it be that they let the leak occur on purpose to get a reaction? Maybe this is the song they are planning on releasing as reworked by Slash and Duff. Like I said before, this is the most old school sounding GNR from CD era. I do think I.R.S. does sound slightly as old school GNR as well.  Just a thought to it. 

I agree with this thinking. Of all the recent leaks, even if not intentional, Hard School sounds most like the one Slash would’ve recorded overdubs to when it was reported he stopped by Axls over that one weekend.

Sounds like he's not interested in telling Eddie Trunk anything 😂

He says straight up “You’ll hear more from us.”

My guess is a formal album announcement adds considerable stress and GNR would rather savor the good vibes and wait until they have an actual album’s worth of finished material.  If the single Slash played is well received, then it should probably motivate things to get a full album out.

People keep mentioning the upcoming Terminator film.  Whether you think or not that the franchise is in the toilet (and IMO it is), how likely it is, 

that they would put Guns n' Roses music in a soundtrack of a film they market like this? 

I mentioned it as a guess - not even super serious. But James Cameron is directing and writing, so that does make a big difference - like all the movies after T2 don’t exist.

I do, however, believe Slash stopped by to wrap up a single and the festivals will be a test. Maybe capture footage for a video. Then maaaaaaaybe new Terminator spot.

My take is they’re putting final touches on a single. The new James Cameron Terminator is in post-production for a November release, so it would fit a song would be delivered now. The mini tour in October is entirely festivals, so I think they’re going to use shows to capture video for this single as was done for Paradise and YCBM.
