Vincent Vega Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 We were always told that Axl had some sort of grand plan or design for GN'R with CD and the following albums. Phase I was probably the release of CD. But where are we now? Where will Axl's genius take us next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are just making stuff sometimes, and in a few months/years, they will release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew after all your years of being here and tens of thousands of posts you'd figure it out one day. Good jerb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's the exciting phase waiting in between nostalgia tours. I heard Out ta Get Me will be a regular on the next leg. Exciting!!!The funny part is you are actually correct!The band will add a couple old songs to the setlist and a group on here will act like it is the greatest thing that ever happened. "HOW can you say they aren't evolving as a band? How can you say they are playing the same setlist? They just added two more songs from Appetite. Axl is the greatest ever and Beta is the greatest manager ever. You are just mad there isn't a reunion." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 If you think of new-gnr as an EQ graph, it has been a constant downwards slope for me, from, Rio 3 really, with a few minor leaps upwards (the leaks of better and twat; the release of cd). Since 2008 however that line has been completely vertical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 The real question is how much of a disaster was Bucket leaving and how difficult was CD to release?If you take that CD sold 600k in the US, without the BB deal the record label are looking at taking a 14 mil loss. And basically making CD a financial disaster. So would it be a stretch to think they may not have cared about releasing or promoting that much, in turn Axl not seeing support, hence erring on caution or maybe gung ho lets release it anyway.Then Bucket leaves. Now the project is completely fucked. The label see no band and pull any financial backing or support for the record. Even to a rookie there's no band and the record can't sell enough copies. But before Bucket leaving maybe there was this idea to put out a trilogy and for it to be huge and pay back the label. Maybe around the time Contradband sold well you could see 3 albums maybe selling 3-4 mil each. But Bucket leaves and it's a disaster.The BB deal must be a compromise to get the record out. Where that leaves any plans who knows?Label is probably just relieved to get some money back. And probably won't advance Axl 10 mil again to make a record.They could still do CD II or whatever they were going to do.But maybe regroup with Dj and try to do another big album that will stand up in the catalog.A double album of all this backed up material?or just CD II then CD III just to be as awesome as possible.

Flayer Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think Axl's taking a several-year break from grand plans. Seems to have been winging it for the last year or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Axl's 'grand plan' is the exact same plan that Haig used during the Battle of the Somme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think playing the game might be on the cards. A Dr Feelgood meets Back in Black record with a video featuring the girls of the burlesque and a Dj n Axl single to storm the charts. No leaks.

wasted Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I still think CD is the best of a trilogy.You've got Chi Dem, silkworms, OMG, Riad, SOD, Mad, TIL from CD 1, Better, IRS, TWAT, Prostitute, Catcher from CD 2, Shackler's, ITW, Scraped, Sorry from CD 3.I think the plan is always to do a new project. A record and make it the best. Then tour to support it.So they are in pre-production the next record now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
