How long will the Hiatus be after Vegas?

[Val22]

I'm sure GNR will be back in 2015!

If Axl was telling the truth in the Revolver interview, he'll be working on the songs that have been recorded and other songs as well. he talked about the other band members wanting to take a break for personal reasons too.

However long it takes, I'm sure Axl will be back and touring again. I hope GNR get better management and better tours especially in the US. That was one of the complaints Axl talked about in the interview.

Everyone has to work together for GNR to be successful.

[wasted]

But the impression I got from that Revolver piece was that Axl has what he thinks of as CD II. Maybe Dj will add parts a song but its done. So it's not a new album from this band.

Maybe this band has some other stuff, but Axl is still pushing CD II.

To me the remix album could be put out for this break, while they get organised with label for release of CD II. Once they get that out then tour to promo it.

So 2015 at very earliest, if they can get both CDs out this November and play new songs at Heaven and Hell that would be exciting.

The main thing I took from it, is that Axl is finally done with Round 1. 12 years long round. Now he's only starting to finally look at a release "seriously". I got the feeling that whole "don't know, don't care" thing was said just because in his mind he was still just starting to promote Chinese at the time, and also didn't want to commit to anything concrete when it came to CD ll. It was still too early.

Now Axl is going to try to work shit out with the record company, and have a promotion plan in place, so that's going to take some time.

2015 at the earliest, after Axl tax it's 2016, 2017 and he could release CD ll with some DJ songs plus the Chinese remixes in one package.

This is exactly how I look at it, too. It's Axl time!

Bumblefoot: With him, you are in the AXL time zone, an odd vortex where time and space defy the laws of physics.

Axl will probably want a stand alone release for CD II?

It's half-time for Chinese Democracy. I guess they learned from UYI that releasing two at once as a down side. This way CD II gets the attention it deserves.

I could almost see the remix album as a Zooropa-type album. Rosephoria.

I hope Beta's Barn will be the opener. All psychedelic and shit. I imagine Axl recorded Beta ala Rocket Queen for the track, but instead of porn moaning it's just mad laughter and then Axl kicks in with a scream while Beta is still laughing her ass off in the background and it just explodes in a 2 minute Pitman solo. Meaner, darker. Beta's Barn.

Edited June 4, 2014 by Rovim

Beta's Barn doesn't sound real to me. Very Pet Sounds with a hint of Old McAxl had a Barn thrown in.

[Lio]

If Beta's barn is real, I will be disappointed, no matter how it sounds.

You calling Pitman a liar?

maybe joking? or it's a remix of Better?

An explosion into a 2 minute Pitman solo should just be the intro into the explosion into a 20 minute Pitman solo.

You make a strong point. But I was listening to Riad just now and it makes perfect sense Beta's Barn is a real song. Maybe a wip title? Axl did say all titles are subject to change.

Silkworms is the obvious choice for an opener from shit we've heard.

Until... around November, then another USA tour, then South America in 2015, then Europe, then Asia, then Africa, then South America in 2016, then USA, then Vegas Residency and so on.

Yeah, but after that.

[IncitingChaos]

I don't see them going to Mexico to play in November. I think 2014 is done.

As far as a record is concerned, Axl for the first time mentions that he will get serious about it's release. It's been a while since CD came out now and Axl said the next one would be out sooner than the wait for CD.

Axl planned this a long time ago though.

So we are sitting at the 6 year mark since CD released. 2015 will mark Seven years....the next album will be called Seven! It will be released 2015 with the title track Seven. One of the confirmed working titles.

1. AFD

2. GNR lies

3. UYI I

4. UYI II

5. TSI?

6. Chinese Democracy

7. Seven

Mystery Solved.

Seven Starts Now!!!

I think some of you are very optimistic about the new record (not talking about CDII or remixes). I mean, all he said was: But after Vegas, we're going to start looking very seriously at what we're doing in that regard.

I hope the optimists are right though

[robin2002]

I understand it is Axl's life and career and he can do whatever he wants.

But you'd think the guy would occasionally want to throw his millions of fans a bone.

He might not like the process of recording and releasing an album. But he must know that he has millions of fans that would kill for a new album. Some fans that have supported him for 25 years. Fans that paid for his mansion, his sports cars and for him to live life like a king.

One album in 20 years..........why not just throw the fans a bone and release a new album asap? And if they are seriously going to wait over a year for another record, why not put out an EP - 4 new songs, 4 covers (riff raff, seeker, etc) to tide people over.

Think about your millions of fans, Axl (and Beta)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This goes through my head almost daily

I'd go with Jackie Chan/Checkmate as opener.

With a Kurtz speech from Apocalypse Now as an intro.

With this one-two punch all CD ll needs now is a SCOM type song to be the third track and you really open the album with a bang.

If the next thing they put out is the remix album. mark my words, this band will be done. critically and sales wise it will do fuck all and most of the fanbase won't even be into it. the only way they can put that out is as a bonus disc with something else (that something else would be the vegas dvd if they knew what they were doing).

Two to three years, during the hiatus we will have 1-2 lineup changes and normally vague interviews with "we've been working on...", "looking at some touring", "we have alot of material lined up for recording", "we've been talking about", "we just had an telco", "Axl is in the basement with Tobias" etc...
