wasted Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 It's more when the label delivers what the band wants to the fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 So, so, so many critics! Why can't you people just be happy he gave an interview? pfft! Why must you dissect to fucking death every word he says? My God give him a break. He spoke to a journalist that writes for a magazine. It was a lovely interview. He's a lovely person. He isn't Jesus Christ. Must you live your life around his every word? I love the man, but I'm not placing all my money in a bet around what he does next and I will not be forever miserable nor mortified if he doesn't do exactly what 'I project' what 'I think he said' he will do. Can't we all just be happy that the lead singer of the band that we are all on the fan club forum of finally gave an interview? For those that are, please disregard my comments. Let's all give a big shout out of a 'Hell Yeah!' Say it with me now, 'Hell Yeah!' Well we are all jaded cynics here; but, if the touring does stops following Vegas and Axl does seem to enter into plans for another album, then I suppose, retroactively, that was an excellent interview.

phaeryen Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I find myself completely disenchanted and phased, this kind of thing just doesn't move me in any fashion.I will take a listen to a song/songs if such come out but I don't think it will ever happen again.

Apollo Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Amazing. He has an entire album all ready to go, but he just flat-out won't release it.Whose fault is it this time? Slash? Yoda? Bucket? Jesus?And that's the rub.It's been six years from the last album and one record in the last 20 years. Why sit on a completed album? Makes no sense.

IncitingChaos Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 The fact that he has an album ready to go tells me that there are a ton of legal issues to sort out that he's been ignoring. There might be 20 plus people that contributed to the sound of that record and if Axl wants to make any money he has to insure that they get their fair share if their music is used. I think that's why he keeps having the current guys tweek parts of it. I think that's what has been holding back the record. There are a lot of hurdles to jump to release a GNR record, especially when 85% of the people who contributed to the album are no longer in the band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most bands can write and record an album in a month or two if they are all focused on the task at hand.Of course, with Axl, he's never focused on anything except the 15 years of his life Slash stole from him.

Schwarzgold Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 So, so, so many critics! Why can't you people just be happy he gave an interview? Maaaaaybeeee because we heard stuff like this time and time again over the last 15 years and in 9 of 10 cases, nothing followed. So interviews like this simply don't stir anything in me anymore. Why would they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
izzy92 Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Is anyone else noticing him being way more open to talking about the old lineup and old songs and having almost no interest in talking about the new lineup and new songs? In what universe would he say "Duff coming back will be dependent upon seeing what Tommy wants to do with his other band"...that to me says anytime Tommy wants to drop out, his replacement will be Duff. Never saw that coming. I really expected a "it was great while he was here, but now we're moving forward". To come out and openly say he is such a completely different person probably makes him curious to see what the other guys are like as well.Also in this interview he says he hopes he has a few years left, yet the band has been told their calendars are clear after Vegas and are all doing their own thing for AT LEAST the next 6 months. For Axl to sit there and say "We'll be looking at it seriously after Vegas" just doesn't make any sense. I feel like something major is going to happen but it won't have anything to do with this band releasing a new GNR album. And as for DJ Ashba, unreliable as he is saying he'll definitely be on the next release...that's correct. Appetite for Democracy comes out July 1st.Combine Ron leaving, Tommy wanting to do more replacements shows, "everybody's personal problems", continuing non-committal in regard to a new album, and a newfound appreciation for Duff and a clear willingness to work with both Izzy and Duff, acceptance by the media, and the fact that he has "won the war" in the sense that the media isn't completely trashing him anymore (positive response to RNRHOF letter, Jimmy Kimmel interview, re: greatest singers), = ROSE/MCKAGAN/STRADLIN/SLASH/SORUM/REED TOUR 2015.

I wouldn't go as far as you, but he is very open about Duff, yeah. Also, keeping in mind what was said about the major issue in SA and possible changes in crew and/or band, I found it interesting that he doesn't only respond to the question reagrding Duff. He acts as if not only Tommy, but just about every other band member can take some time off to do whatever:It's possible. I don't know yet. It depends on scheduling, or what shows Tommy [stinson] wants to do with the Replacements and stuff like that. And you know, almost everybody in the band has some kind of issue going on, personally. There's people who have lost family members. Other people are dealing with separations. Sometimes court gets in the way. Real life!I'm probably reading to much into this, but I am curious about how it all unfolds after Vegas. Because whatever happens, we'll get some news. If nothing comes from the GNR camp, there's always the thing UK Subs would reveal after Vegas. (Whatever that might be.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 He said that they had things recorded before Chinese was out, which doesn't include Ashba or Bumblefoot, we don't know. So, does he really want to release Chinese leftovers? When do the current guys will get their chance to write and record their own material? I think people will need to wait around 6 years for a complete album, then around 4 o 5 years for mastering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think people will need to wait around 6 years for a complete album, then around 4 o 5 years for mastering.I think he really does, since he considers it to be a double. Makes sense that he would want to release the complete work, with mostly the key members that helped create the sound of the record with a few DJ songs and Bumble leads on top.

Did Subs promise a reveal after the tour? What thread was it in?I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you where he said it. Someone asked about the 'there's more that we cannot divulge yet' in the exclusive news NGOG posted in December and Subs said he would say it after the Residency, if it hadn't become apparent by then. Or something like that. (I hope I remember correctly... anyone ?) Maybe it was in a Duff thread. I think it was someone asking if the 'more news' was Duff, and that Subs said it wasn't, but he'd tell what he was told after Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just silly. please tell me you have never been in a band before. It depends if they have material going into the studio and if they performed the songs live. When people started bootlegging stuff, a lot of bands stopped performing "works in progress" songs live. Dark Side of the Moon - 6 weeks.Goodbye Yellow Brick Road - two weeks.Black Sabbath's first album - one day.Beatles first album - 12 hours. Led Zeppelin IV - 4 months and multiple studios. Led Zeppelin I - 36 hours.AFD - one month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
