Nick85 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Seriously, what happened with that, and why is Axl giving fans the silent treatment regarding it?! Axl talked about releasing the trilogy in 2002, with his claims of multiple albums being recorded backed up by Sebastian Bach in 2007. This year, both Ron & DJ have confirmed that there is also more than 1 album of finished material down the pipes. But no release, that we know of, is remotely close.The kicker is that during his 'chats' soon after CD's release, Axl seemed quite optimistic about about possibly putting the next album out the following year in 2009, and openly discussed upcoming tracks The General, Atlas Shrugged, & Soul Monster with the fans.Since then....Nothing. Not a hint from any credible sources that the next album could possibly still be on the horizon. So my question is, why is Axl keeping us in the dark about this? Why would he openly & enthusiastically discuss the next album with us, only to never mention it again for going on 3 years now.Does anyone think he's scrapping it altogher & starting fresh? IMO, that would be a shame and probably keep this album in limbo for (even more) years on end. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nambis Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 It's going to be released. Hopefully at RIR we'll hear new music and something about the release schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blusky Grenfield Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 could be problems with the label?unhappy with how CD released?fear of letting go of the beast and what comes after that?re-recording robin's and buckethead's parts (hopefully not)?calm before the storm?not giving a shit anymore?there are 24 time zones on this planet and then there is axl timelets just hope it will be released as long as hes is alive and kicking, approving the material even if that means a compromise here and theremaybe we could work out something for upcoming shows like doing chants or banners "we want new music" or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 DJ mentioned that he has yet to write something with Axl, maybe they are just more concerned with touring and RIR at the moment and will focus on an album after they are finished with these tour dates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick85 Posted July 30, 2011 Author Share Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) I get not revealing plans until they're set in stone, as it avoids disappointing fans. But letting three years go by after hyping it up, with no mention since seems like a bit of a tease to me, leaving it open-ended like that.How hard is it to release a statement saying something, anything, to let us know what they're hoping to do, or not do, with it if they're planning on starting fresh. Not mentioning it at all leads one to believe that Axl may have these songs finished, but has no idea what he's going to do with them.

They should make announcements and no one should care. The rumors exist because the band never says anything so people have to guess what's going on.

Funny how other bands can keep their fans informed while Axl seems to think we are the enemyFunny how some people who "claim" to be "fans" constantly encorage untruths and perpetuate bullshit gossip.I think some of the self-proclaimed "fans" ARE the enemy.

Nick85 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I wonder, is it a total pipe-dream to think it's possible for Axl to surprise us with a late 2011 release? Would we we have heard rumblings of an upcoming release by now?I guess when you consider that the next album is already complete, other than possible mastering, that a release can come whenever Axl and the label come to terms.

sailaway Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Slash - the true spirit of GNR, is starting pre-production of his next album. Follow him on Facebook for updates. Forget Axl releasing a new album. It is not going to happen. I believe he called the people who were asking about the next album as "idiots." Let Axl tour outside the U.S. and take advantage of the ownsership of the band name.cupcake bait Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Terminator Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I wonder, is it a total pipe-dream to think it's possible for Axl to surprise us with a late 2011 release?Yes. Yes it is.I can't believe people are questioning why it's been 3 years and we've heard nothing. Do you not remember it took 14 years for Chinese to see the light of day?In Axl's words "I don't know if SOON is the word".And to be perfectly honest, after hearing Chinese Democracy I don't think I want to hear another "New Guns N' Roses" album.I'll stick with the old albums, Contraband and Slash's solo stuff thanks.
