gmsugaree Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Did anyone in the GnR camp ever suggest it would be called Chinese Democracy 2? With CD having been a commercial disappointment and that title having been a punch line for years, why would they want to dwell on that name. Seems silly.Someday we might hear a new album but I highly doubt thats what it would be called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimb0 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 With the band never sitting down even once together to write a song... It's either CD 2 or DJ's next Guns Record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coma16 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I believe Axl (or maybe it was Baz) refered that CD was a trilogy. So after the fist one comes the next one. Also, it's just easier than typing out LOTRP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) It kinda stuck from the time people expected a series of record written at the same time. Now it is becoming increasingly obvious that a new record will not rely solely on material from the Chinese Democracy sessions, and hence calling the next record for CDII is a bit silly.

Guest RonMexico82 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Calling it Guns N' Roses would provide endless material for mockery. Blood In The Water would be more a more apt title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumbleine Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 it all depends on what we're getting.if we get 2000-08 material,CD2 is fine.if we get brand new shit they need a different name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalsh327 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Take what Baz has said with a grain of salt.i think Axl was going to do something along the lines of Radiohead's "Kid A" & "Amnesiac", release them within a year of each other. Radiohead did well with that idea at the time. Green Day is also doing something like this as a 3 CD set, but they probably finished most of it before putting the first one out. If he had all this music and decided not to follow it up has to do with business and probably the outcome of "Chinese Democracy" itself. OP's right as far as the title being a punchline. People who create haven't always seen their projects come out the way they intended it to. The current lineup is different and I think the focus is going to be on what the current lineup of GNR will accomplish in the studio. I do think it's possible Robin, Paul, Izzy, and Duff could be taking part in the sessions in some way, and can see Axl casually asking them if they wanted to stop by the studio to check out what he's been working on. As Bumblefoot mentioned, it has been hard getting them together to work on songs on the down time, unless it's been their solo songs being brought into GNR, or cover songs.

Bumble's Bridge Pickup Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Because Axl suggested in the 2009 interview that the next album will be sort of a deeper evolution of CD but probably heavier and more experimental. It'll have the "same people" playing still. Or something like that anyway. Damn, just release it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they really want to go out on an edge and do something experimental, run it by someone who's always had a knack for doing that and making it work, like Brian Eno. He's prob had the best track record on doing that for all sorts of artists. Who knows, maybe the next one will be a concept album based around a Del James story.

downzy Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I think there's little chance the next album gets called Chinese Democracy 2. Had the first album (of the series) done better with critics and at retail Axl and the label might have rushed the second album out and called it Chinese Democracy 2, but the brand is beyond redemption and it would serve everyone involved to just release a new album under a different name. I doubt very much there's a retailer who would be willing to have an exclusive release for another album that is put under the umbrella of Chinese Democracy. Regardless of whether it's true or not, the common perception is that Chinese Democracy underperformed both artistically or financially. A lot of rebranding will need to be done in order for another album to receive support from retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RonMexico82 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Sorry Soulmonster. I didn't realise you had downs. I'll use words like gom and gobdaw in future. Is there really any solid evidence of a new album in its entirety? Amazing how there is no industry chatter, no leaks, no rumours about artwork, liner notes.

But so will most humans, even small kids, people with various forms of mental issues, pathological liars and even most primates! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RonMexico82 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) You sure have the most appropriate signature on the forum. Well done. Give yourself a thumbs up. I am wondering who RonMexico83 is though. But if all you want to do is babble on about other posters, real or imagined, then maybe you should try the PM system.This is a thread about an album that may or may not exist, not posters that may or may not exist.Where is Sebastian Bach these days by the way? Last I heard of him he was having a breakdown in an airport or something. Edited October 24, 2012 by RonMexico82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
