Young_Gun Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Would be an ideal time to announce/release a new album/re-release. But I'm not expecting it really. Could happen this time though, not getting my hopes up at all though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dario27 Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) it's been more than 10 years since Axl started this Chinese thing, it's been longer than anything GNR's done in the past in whatever form...Axl just takes this stuff too seriously (does he?), it's not about writting the greates thing ever, it's not about being the best, it's about having fun and doing what it comes out naturally (let people , but Axl is boss and whatever he chosses to do is what is going to happen in GNR...no matter what some folks here say., ChiDem is an ok album, whatever he would've chosen to release in a shorter period of time without over working on it, would've been rated either as that or better.. so what's the point?, spending ages writting "the best songs" doesn't work, is proven is a fact, so i guess Axl just wants to keep the ball on his side.. when he sees people are no longer interested, he will release something... imho he just wants to keep the GnR name interesting Edited June 28, 2011 by dario27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyL Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 How disappointed will you be if Axl doesn't play new songs at Rock In Rio and announce a release date for CD II? Ali, please don't post anything about Axl not owing us anything because it's not even about that.Well, he doesn't owe us anything. It is about that. Sure, it would be nice if a new song was played. But, there is no reason to think that GN'R will. So, yeah, you can be disappointed. But, it's your own fault for setting yourself up for disappointment. I could understand the disappointment more if GN'R themselves said they would play new songs. But, that's not the case here. AliI second that Ali. I get so sick of people expecting new material.

YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 the only thing i think is that axl's voice is gonna sound bad like every first show in 2001, 2002, 2006 and 2009.they played the longest show ever in tokyo, we have soundboard recordings and the band was tight, only axl sounds awful. if only tokyo was like the 20th show instead one of the first 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nambis Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) I second that Ali. I get so sick of people expecting new material.you get "sick of people expecting new material?" OF COURSE people are expecting new material, Axl himself confirmed there is at least another album's worth of material on the way. additionally, folks like bach and ashba have said there is records and records worth of even more material. so I don't think you should get your panties in a bunch because people are expecting to hear it.

One minute I'm like Axl's gotta bring something special to Rio just based on GNR's history there alone and next I couldn't really give a shit.We'll see what happens.The question is why NOT play something new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) "Axl should fuck up rock in Rio and just play a normal setlist"The only people who’ll see Rio as a “fuck up” if new material isn’t played are situated exclusively in the virtual community. Rio is an opportunity that will be fulfilled regardless of new songs being presented or not. Edited June 28, 2011 by NewGNRnOldGNR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 The question is why NOT play something newThe performance will be equally successful without new songs. The overwhelming majority of Rio goers are going to see Guns N’ Roses and their discography to date (Axl has always emphasised he operates only for the ticket payers).

MANETS.FOREVER Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Use Your Illusion started in South America (Rock in Rio II, 1991) and finished in South America (Buenos Aires, 1993).Chinese Democracy started in South America (Rock in Rio III, 2001) and will finish in South America (Buenos Aires, 2011).OK, ok, it wasn't actually the first concerts, but the first big concerts, the place where it was the actual premiere, where the songs were first shown to the whole world.It's beatiful. So if it's gonna have a new era, it will start here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MANETS.FOREVER Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well... Actually I would say he will have fucked Rio, yes sir.Rio = New songs, lots of demagogue speeches, emotion...He knows that. He knows we know. And we know he knows we know. And he knows that too...Well, if he doesn't know, I sent a message to Beta asking about something else, but I did include all this "new songs" things at the message, and how everyone is expecting new songs there, and she replied. She answered what I actually was asking, and didn't even talk about new songs, but she did read it. So yeah, now I'm sure they know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
