Lethalis Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) The only thing holding up an album is Axl. Literally everyone else in the band has released a lot of albums. Slash released one album after another, Duff released a solo album and Loaded albums. Even Fortus released music with another band. Wasn't Dizzy releasing an album too? (edit: he did, in 2018... I'll give it a listen) But yeah... the only one who is not releasing new music is Axl. The rest of the band would just release a straight up rock record within a year. But then Axl would think it's not good enough and start tinkering with it. And then he would bring in other people again... and then nothing will happen for years and everyone would leave the band. It's Axl. He is the problem, not the solution. They should get another vocalist and call it VR2 or something Edited December 22, 2019 by Lethalis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I thought it was a good humoured response. His other options were: ‘We hope to get an album out next year.’ Because that always works out well for him. ‘No.’ Which doesn’t fit in with the marketing for the tour.

This shouldn't be the debate. It doesn't matter if he was funny or if he was a jerk. It is a waste of time to ask Fortus, Melissa or Frank about a new album. Assuming they know something, they will not make any announcement in their social media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you would have seen him smile whilst giving that answer, you would have laughed instead of crying how rude and mean he is. I met him in person and can tell you that he isn’t. He is one nice and gentle guy who takes his time to talk to fans. 2. If Fernando Potato (or whatever his name is) isn’t even able to ask his question in a clear way, let alone in a charming way, I totally get that 4tus had zero motivation to give any response in such a way. I laughed about his answer. In fact, it was clever ... other than the previous harsh and unspecified question. The irony work in writing if you write it with suspension points, but Fortus don't put it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My opinion, the first time i saw VR in 05 in oz that show was better than when i saw guns in 2017. The energy was completely different, the VR show was very raucous . Plus i do still play contraband.

Scott Weiland - as great a musician as he was - was also a lot of trouble when you want a stable band The guy never overcame his addictions and trouble followed him everywhere he went. I really like reading his interview (the one Sydney Fan posted). It feels honest to me and I love how he says he understood Axl better after a while... "With this band everything is about touring" no shit Edited December 24, 2019 by Lethalis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any details on that? I think Weiland (or someone with comparable credibility) also suggested that there was the possibility of a reunion of some kind for Donnington '06. The Greatest Hits thing makes less sense as that came out in March 2004.....then again Bucket left in March 2004 leading to the Rio/Lisboa show being cancelled so maybe some feelers were extended towards Slash? I can't remember any more details if there were any but it does seem kinda implausible to me unless it was really a case of managers and promoters talking big money and deals with Axl knowing nothing about it as he claimed he had no idea of the 2001 tour that was booked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
