Bumblefoot: “We didn’t record in Vegas. I don’t know about future music or dvd releases. I don’t know if we’ll tour next year. It’s outta my hands."

[AxlRose14]

It is dissapointing that my favorite rock singer has little interest in sharing his music with his millions of fans.

How in the world does the lead guitar player not know the bands plans for the upcoming year?

One album in 15 years. Which was released over 4 years ago. How is it humanly possible that band members don't know when the next one is coming out? This should be a major topic within the band.

Maybe he doesn't know. Or maybe, as BBF has said in the past on multiple occasions, he will not be the one to publicly state and/or confirm GN'R's plans. He may be leaving that up to management to make official through the Twitter/Facebook/official site channels like they did with the Jimmy Kimmel interview and the Vegas Residency, etc. Or, even secondary sources of information, like promoters for shows, etc.

Well maybe uncle Axl should share some of this info..its bullshit like that that drives members to quit GNR just saying...

It's not really a band anymore. It's more of a touring band playing as a nostalgia act.

It's a cover band too. Half the band is playing notes they didnt write

[wasted]

I don't think Ron or anyone of the band are involved or know what will happen next. In some ways the fans know more than they do.

Maybe Axl has the next album wrapped up and it's sitting on his lap top until management find a way to sell it.

[BBA]

Damn, guys. If you think about it, Axl greatly contributed to breaking up the best rock band of all time - and is seeing to it that they will never again reform - and it was all so that he could release one sub-par, 'woe-is-me' album and cash grab off his previous band's material for a couple of decades. Talk about a kick in the balls. Thanks Axl!

I wish. It'd be ideal that an album is done and they want to do more recording to have the next one prepared, and maybe they don't wanna say anything cuz they don't wanna jynx anything...

I just feel like thats not realistic though.

Exactly. What was the point to keep "guns n roses" alive if it was just to release an album in 20 years, and on top of that, an album that sounds nothing like a guns n roses album. I know Axl is crazy but come on...

Does Velvet Revolver sound like Guns N Roses? Does anything Izzy's ever done sound like GNR? The band would sound completely different if they were still together today like it or not.. Duffs bands don't sound like GNR.

I think you could pick songs from each album and piece it together and claim it to sound like GNR, but fact is we'll never know what GNR would still sound like if they were still together..but fact is, they never stood a shot of staying together.

Axl has ego. Slash has ego. Izzy wants to do his own thing and is on some crazy ass life trip thats probably a result of too much blow and heroin. Duff wants to be iggy pop. The only reason they were able to even make appetite is cuz they were all desperate, broke, and didnt even have peanut butter in the cupboard. They had nothing. If they all went broke tomorrow it'd be interesting..

[Freddie Mercury's Ghost]

his body language said nervous, he knows more than hes letting on JMTC

You could clearly see by BBF's body language that there is a very visible disconnect between him and the rest of the "band". In fact, if I heard him correctly, he referred to GNR as "them".

It sounds like things are bad ..... real bad.

Thats not what I got from it at all, what I got was that he's under instructions not to tell something.

Welcome to every single interview given by a NewGNR member not named Axl since 2001.

Edited December 5, 2012 by Freddie Mercury's Ghost

[wasted]

Judging from CD Axl is what makes it GNR in terms of song dynamics. Stuff like SOD, TWAT, TIL really could only be GNR.

Yes. There are plenty of logical reasons why a "band" member from ANY band would deny recording music to their fans when they really are.

I believe what you saw in his demeanor was disgust and embarassment.

[Eu4ic]

Axl better not record with those pudwackers. Ok, keep 4tus. But that's all.

Translated; "I am hurt and pissed that Axl, at the age of 50, will not bury the hatchet with some guy cause there is money to be made and cause I want him to". You could care less about millions of fans. You just said he is your favorite singer, and you could care less about what he wants, right? By that logic I assume you then care MORE about millions of fans? So are those your all time favorite fans? I don't know who you are, or where you are from, but you sure do have a HUGE sense of entitlement. He has done enough. Pretty sure the life expectancy of most signed bands is about how long the original band stayed together.

I trip out on people that think somehow they are entitled to something at the expense of another persons conviction. If he is "cash grabbing" in Vegas, but refuses a huge payday to go against his own tenets, what is he? Wrong either way according to some people here. Weird.

Yeah, that is pretty much happens to bands that have been successful. They play shows and get paid for their work. Pretty sure Paul McCartney plays lots of Beatles song when he tours, and I don't see people getting all butt hurt about that. And dont give me this shit about the name. I get why people are upset about the name, but ultimately it is about the music,and if the Beatles were originally called McCartney and Best, and he kept that name, people would not care.

I find it weird that every time someone rips Axl for using the name, they don't mention his actual surname is in the name, and that Slash was not there when said name was created. I started a thread about how I kind of get the remorse about the name, but ultimately it is him name, and his property.

[dalsh327]

He mentioned the hot sauce, NAMM (which will prob. be half of GNR going) , & the acoustic shows w/ Tony Harnell. Of course if Axl goes "I want to go in the studio", he'll prob. start hinting at being in California for a while.

I won't be surprised if we see a NY residency.

[jekylhyde]

LOL, Guns N' Roses...

[Silent Jay]

looks like The DVD is coming :

Would love that. I was born in Brooklyn, half my family is there. Nice time for a family trip!

[star]

Hired hand BF keeping it real..

What he is saying is, it's in one persons hands. No prizes for guessing who's..

[SoulMonster]

Wasn't MSL swearing up and down that the guys were in the studio working?

So much for him never being proven wrong, ay?

Yes, he claimed he had talked with a band member about this and that this band member said they had recorded. So sad.

My way of looking at this is that the band was expected to record (they moved gear into Dj's studio), but just had too much fun in Vegas. I wish they'd recorded, of course, but all in all it's not that bad. It does signal a commitment, at least. Hopefully they will go into studio in early 2013.

Another weird angry response that completely misses the boat. Why so angry all the time little fella?

In the mind of an Axl cultist, I'm a bad fan because I wish my favorite singer would put out music more frequently than once every 15 years. Only in this forum do you see "logic" like that.

I've said a hundred times on this forum that I hope Axl gives the current band a chance to shine on their own. But in your Axl worshipping cloud, that means I want him to reunite with Slash and that I have entitlement issues? None if that actually fits together.

You are such a star fucker of Axl Rose, and carry such deep grudges against complete strangers that you post negative remarks even when I write positive posts about your God. Too funny. Well at least you didn't make homophobic slurs or make fun of people born with disabilities this time. I suppose that is a plus.

Hhmm. I really am confused about this angry post of yours. So using your "logic" I'm a bad fan with issues for wishing my favorite singer would share his talent with his fans........so I should say that I hope my favorite singer NEVER puts out another album, never gives the current band a chance to record together, and that all Axl fans are retards and fags? Only to an angry guy like you would that make any sense at all.

Of course this comes from an Axl star fucker who says people NOT at shows aren't allowed to give their opinions........but in the same thread makes numerous comments about the show (that he wasn't at) and them makes life judgements about Axl based on his wife watching 30 seconds of a YouTube video!!!!!

The best thing about debating with you is that I don't have to come up with anything creative. I just have to point out the continuous ignorant statements that you make.

Anyway, you keep pining on Axl's age, past career and what a true bad ass he is (lol, ya, you aren't a star fucker at all), keep calling people fags and retards, and keep being angry and negative all the time.

I will keep keeping my fingers crossed that Axl decides to share his music with the millions of fans that love his music, and that he will allow the current band a chance to shine with their own album.

[wasted]

It's not all under Axl's control. Look at the beating he got in the US for not selling 35 million copies of CD.

[Damn_Smooth]

Groghan-

You are most definitely not a bad fan for wanting things from this band. I want things too. It is time for you to realise that you're not going to get any of those things though. Either support the tour and chance that you might get to hear a new cover or song that they haven't played for a while, or don't. Expecting anything more is only going to hurt yourself.

[wasted]

This band has never been on a schedule.

[Nick83]

I think after the impossible expectations for CD, they will do anything to keep the process of a new album hidden from view until the last moments.

[downzy]

I think you have to be careful when you use terms like "the band." To what part of "the band" are you referring to? I have no doubt that guys like DJ, Bumble, Frank and anyone else who didn't have much to do with Chinese Democracy was interested in recording. But was Axl? Did Axl have any interest in recording with his fellow bandmates? If he did, then why was it so difficult to accommodate one day out of the 24 or 25 days he was there? If he didn't, does it really matter if the rest of the band did or was interested?

And this signal of commitment, is that to the band, to making money, to making music? What commitment are you speaking of? 'Cause the only commitments I'm seeing from the band is to individual pay checks and to the fans who bought tickets. I personally don't see any commitment to moving the band forward. Perhaps plans are in the works, but nothing about the Vegas residency has given me any reason that business model currently employed will change any time soon.

If they couldn't manage to get into a studio where all seven or eight of them were in one place at one time for three weeks, what chance do you think we'll see them getting together to record music in early 2013 when each returns back to the their own homes in different parts of the country (Axl in California, DJ in Vegas, Bumble in NY/NJ, Fortus in St. Louis, etc.).

It's not all under Axl's control. Look at the beating he got in the US for not selling 35 million copies of CD.

How about selling 1 million copies of CD in the U.S. That would be a start. (Thought I've never been too concerned personally about album sales; always found this a weird argument to assess worth or value).
