Millions Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 What I see here is a conflict of interests between Axl and the the rest of the band.A) Axl is artistically constipated, and has no real intention or desire to put out a new album. He basically can't be bothered getting off his lazy fat ass and is happy touring, playing the hits to an enthusiastic, adoring audience, and shagging groupies every night - an Indian girl last week, a gorgeous Japanese girl this week......... Fair play to him. B) The rest of the band resent being dismissed by the fans and journalists as cheap scabs or 'hired guns.' At this point, they will have no real place in the legacy of GNR - and will be forgotten as mere touring musicians, in the same way that no-one will ever be able to name Michael Jackson's bass player. A solution? Put out an instrumental album. At first this may sound a bit odd, but there are some incredible instrumental albums in the history of rock music. It could even be a movie soundtrack. This would be a stop-gap album until Axl can get off his ass, and by satisfying the artistic appetite of the rest of the band, could actually keep this version of GNR together that little bit longer.

wasted Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I like the idea but i doubt at this stage Axl could put out a record for anyone else and not have to take credit for it. I think theyll put out a record in the near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussiegun Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 It would be Slash's Snakepit all over again. Axl wouldn't be happy if they managed to come out with some GNR worthy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be humiliating for Axl and fans.To use your example; it would be like Michael Jackson's backing-musicians released a new instrumental album today.I'm sure we will get a new proper Guns N' Roses album in the future.

Randy Jesus Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 How about this, taking crisco and rubbing it on a microphone and still up an ass. Then record the sounds of your internal organs as you slow shit out the microphone. An instrumental album with no singing is a horrible idea, unless the songs are first released with singing and a secondary instrumental cd to allow fans to make their own mixes.

trqster Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 New music is almost irrelevant from a business point of view using the nostalgia act GnR owned by Axl. Why bother? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting in studio = not lazy? I'm confused.You're right about them being thought of as touring musicians. Axl could fire all of them tonight, take a different band on stage tomorrow, and few would notice/care.If the Axl Rose back up band put out an instrumental album, it may be one of the biggest jokes in music history.
