Tyler Drama Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 not releasing an album is just stupid. axl is stupid. Excellent contribution!Maynard's actually speaking the truth.But honestly, for some reason I'm starting to think a reunion could be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I just think he needs to take a long break from touring and hopefully get some new songs out. The back catalog will always be relevant no matter what music he puts out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 True or not, it wasn't answered in the way the OP was asking. I said basically the same thing maynard did, just not like an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Drama Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Retire, get into shape, work on his work ethic, make up with Slash and co, comeback with reunion, tour and record with original CD lineup on the side. Essentially a combination of what Axl always wanted to be and what his fans want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno P. Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 True or not, it wasn't answered in the way the OP was asking.

SoulMonster Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Let's admit it, Axl has only three options if he ever wants to be relevant again:New albumReunionRetirementDoes anyone disagree? Which would you rather?How would retirement make him "relevant"? Of course I would rather GN'R released more music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useyorappetite Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 I don't think they can be relevant again. But the only respectable thing to do would be to get back in shape and release an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreCC Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Axl doesn't have to pick any option. He can do whatever the fuck he wants. He's filthy rich and still has people interested in his music... so he can just tour the old songs till the end of his life, people will still go to the shows and make him even more rich...

estrangedtwat Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Axl will never be relevent again. His time in the sun is over. The closest he could ever hope for is for a brief wave of nostalgia fueled by a reunion, and even that would be very short-lived indeed, especially in today's time of short attention spans.Unless he records a catchy song with Slash on guitars, nobody other than the hardcore fans that post on these forums or attend his NuGuns shows will ever ever care about new music that Axl Rose releases. WE are all that's left. The handful of people around the globe that are still going out and seeing the Axl Rose Project when it comes into town. There are a handful of curiousity seekers of course, but I gotta believe those numbers have dwindled over the years as anyone that has really wanted to see Axl Rose live has had ample chances to do so since 2009.At least now the venues are finally FINALLY reflecting his ability to draw....clubs and festivals. It seems like it finally got through to him that he can't book big arenas anymore.I will say this; I enjoyed the shit out of the show I saw last year. 3 hours consisted of the entire greatest hits CD plus Estranged, Civil War, Catcher and some new covers and you were super lucky? Twat. It really is the best setlist since his return in 2001. I'm done griping about the setlist. They can play the current one every night if they want cause it's actually really awesome and you get your money's worth.If you've seen him 10 times already? Don't bother. Nothing new. But if you haven't seen Estranged and the Seeker and Catcher....it's worth it I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 New album. Reunion would be cool for a short time, but I imagine all we'd get is more touring. If you told me reunion would bring a new album, I'd probably go with that.Off topic: It's awesome that mods are picking fights and insulting posters. /sarc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Seeker Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 He's playing to satisfied crowds, getting some good to great reviews, and he makes news anytime he's seen in public. That's as relevant as any middle aged rock stars are. Aerosmith got ambitious and put out a new album last year, it flopped, and they continued touring because they're a great live band. The Rolling Stones put out a few new songs but for the time being they're doing shows and playing the hits because they're a great live band. All of those bands made a noteworthy contribution to music to gain their status, now they're basically nostalgia acts. That doesn't mean they aren't relevant.
