Vincent Vega Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Do you guys think that CD II will have a more classic sound? I'm not talking AFD II, more like UYI III--Sort of bluesy, deep, introspective, while also having hard rock songs. Basically an album of songs like Breakdown, 14 Years, Dust N' Bones, You Could Be Mine, etc. Blues Rock, less experimentation? Sort of a "back to roots" album?In any event, what sort of sound do you see CD II having? I'm trying to take Bacardi's advice and make some really good threads again....

Apollo Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I would rather not get an album full of songs like 14 years and Dust n Bones. Boring.I would rather have an album similar to CD. Maybe drop sorry, Madagascar and scraped and add Yesterdays, Nov rain and nightrain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Lahey Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) I think it'll be similar to CD; only with a bit meaner sound. Edited December 18, 2012 by Randy Lahey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeryen Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 hopefully it will have more synthesizers and orchestration and wilder musical concepts for songs. they should hire that dude from linkin park to engineer and mix the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guns n' Swedes Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'm thinking that Axl may want to make a classic rock n roll album but he probably feel that that would be too simple and not worthy of the GNR name. He does have a legacy to keep up and since CD was such an ambitious album it kinda did respect the GNR legacy even though it hasn't been a great success.

Demesne Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I personally would like Axl to go extreme, take out the ballads and the more "classic" songs like SOD and go for a harder, more modern sound, more alternative/progressive rock than hard rock.

salx Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If Axl is to record songs with a modern sound he should hire Joey Sturgis as producer. His records sound incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young_Gun Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 No chance. History has shown Axl is a fan of synths, orchestras, strings etc. From November Rain and Estranged to TIL and Prostitute. The classic rock sound was on it's way out after Appetite for Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want AFD II because I know they wouldn't be capable of it, but I think the current band could actually pull off a decent UYI-style album with songs like Locomotive and 14 Years.

Jeez Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 (edited) I don't want them to make an album similar to an album they have already released.. I want Axl to continue explore and try new stuff.I think an album with the 'Oh my god' kind of sound and style could be awesome - but unfortuantely the guitarists needed aren't there anymore. I think there will be a bluesy rock (slash-ish) type of sound next - because of ashba Edited December 21, 2012 by Jeez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The last time Axl favoured a raw thing was probably GN'R Lies - even the raw rockers on Illusion have loads of Axl overdubs on top. For better or worse Axl likes the laboured, studio-driven, overdubbed style of recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically an album of songs like Breakdown, 14 Years, Dust N' Bones, You Could Be Mine, etc. Blues Rock, less experimentation? Sort of a "back to roots" album?Not going to happen.14 Years, Dust N' Bones.. you are talking Izzy Stradlin here man. And he isn't in the band anymore.This new band - if they ever put out any new music - will likely continue down the CD path.If anything they will probably release something with a more modern sound which will be overproduced and sound actually worse than the demo's.When I heard the demo's of Catcher and IRS '99, I thought those songs were really cool. Especially Catcher was insane. And then they butchered it on the album.I wouldn't mind hearing what Axl wanted to do after GNR split up.. when he wanted to go more Industrial. OMG is a great song. At least it had the tenacity of the old Axl. There was anger and that's what I really liked about him. So I'd rather hear an Industrial Rock album with an authentic Axl, than an overproduced album which tries to blend everything together to please the record company and sell enough albums.But okay, he is getting older now.. so I guess that ship has sailed.At some point age really gets in the way and by now he probably should be playing piano ballads like Elton John and stop touring so heavily.I also think CD II isn't going to happen anytime soon..

wasted Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 My guess is it will be more of a polished commercial sound like Sixx Am or Nickelback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dude Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I'm thinking that CD II may lean heavier than its predeccesor. CD I is a pretty classic sound for the most part- with a bit of modern-industrial flavoring combined with a flair of retro-plated trash glam, a side of synth, and a cherry on top.

majormayhem Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I'm thinking he's going down the rod Stewart road of covering his favorite classics karaoke style, with the Labia family on background vocals and DJ Ashba playing an unplugged guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 "classic" as in no sound at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bumblefeet Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I expect the same diversity in styles and influences I found on CD, I doubt there will a return to an overall classic sound. One or two songs at the most might lean towards that while the rest has dense layering and virtuoso production. I can't see Axl stepping away from that.

GNRfanMILO Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Well, Going Down is something really different from what we have heard in CD. But we know that Axl loves addering layers of farts and shit to his songs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IncitingChaos Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) On CD 2 I'm just hoping it's more positive. You listen to CD and 12 of 14 songs are about being trapped, lost, sad, depressed, tricked, and angry (which I don't mind the anger ones)But songs like Scrapped and Riad I love, a part from the intro screaming Vocals Axl does, but I like the vocals and I enjoy the songs being about Axl over coming something or giving a big "F U" to everyone. It's like give me the Axl that is having fun and doesn't care what people think. I like the anger and some of the sad songs but don't fill the album with em. Get a good mix going. I want an album with a positive message or a great story. Edited March 24, 2015 by IncitingChaos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
