frozen_rose Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 BBF wishes the band would collaborate: https://twitter.com/bumblefoot/status/344347215139049472Some of you long-time posters may remember this conversation from over 2.5 years ago!Sadly, it looks like nothing has changed. As each year goes by, I'm afraid the chances of this band releasing new material grow more and more remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozen_rose Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 And this shouldn't shock anyone. Yes, but why not? Why haven't they written any songs together? I thought that was the whole point of the Vegas residency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magisme Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 That's a pretty funny response, "with ourselves for a start." Sigh. What a circus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Glow Inc. Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 . . .You'd think that they made enough money to fund an album during the last three years of touring.Pro-tip : studio time, when used correctly ( record music, not watch porn, eat twinkies and masturbate ) isn't THAT expensive either...It's simply that Axl doesn't care anymore.

However I am assuming a next album will probably contain CD session songs. Maybe they are already written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sadly, it looks like nothing has changed. As each year goes by, I'm afraid the chances of this band releasing new material grow more and more remote. They don't have to come together at the same time to release new music, and Bumblefoot doesn't have to be part of it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, no one has stated that Axl has been part of this, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiipu Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 This band can record a professional sounding album for 5000 bucks if it wanted to. If they did there would be no doubt people willing to release that shit in a heartbeat with them still holding all creative control.Just saying.

rendestroi95 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 money isn't the problem...Axl carries 5 professional albums around his neck and fingers...as already said, he doesn't care anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TombRaider Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 At this point, I'm sure Axl has enough money to build his own studio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This potentially could be the problem, if Axl has bad blood with the label over CD or whatever I can imagine him not wanting them to profit from a new album which leaves everyone at a bit of an impasse.

I think you probably have that backwards. If there is trouble with the label, it's more likely the label not wanting to mess around with the circus that is Axl and Beta. And somebody on here posted once that Axl still thinks it's 1993 and that the label should bend over backwards to fullfil his every whim. BUT do we really believe that the label or Axl/Beta are that juvenile?Dave Mustaine is reported to being a real arrogant prick in real life........but the dude still manages to put out a new album every two years.The entire band doesn't have to come together and create 15 songs - especially with 8 guys in the band. Seems like the best solution would be to use the best of the best old CD songs, have each guy (or group) bring a few songs to the table.........and then the band get together and try and come up with a couple songs as a complete group.

Can you even be a band if you never write a single song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 It could be the other way round but if he has contractual obligations still to fulfil and he turned up one day album in hand I'm sure they would put it out. What they may not be willing to do is fund it in a way that is acceptable to Axl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason Metallica is a household name and MG ain't. Mustaine don't play the game. Edited June 11, 2013 by volcano62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
