Laparka Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Well, how can you consider Fortus a "true-member" of the band when he's playing with dozens of other bands at the same time?Even though i'm a supporter of Axl's vision on GnR post-breakup, there is NO WAY you can consider it a REAL BAND.There is a core consisting in Tommy/Dizzy/Pitman (probably Finck was in it too) that can potentially have an influence on Axl, but the rest are just orbiting around Axl and wait for whatever decision he and the horribly incompetent management take.GnR 2014 is not a REAL band. They are a band like MSG can be, or like Megadeth (who just lost 2 members today).There is one leader, 2 or 3 generals, and the rest are soldiers (or journeymen).Still, I loved CD, I loved the shows i've seen, and I'd love to hear new musics.

rhiad85 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Motivation, I deactivated my account for a period of time.No this is definitely not a band at this point. Like Laparka said, Fortus himself floats between so many different projects. Dont even know if Ron is part of it anymore. Tommy opts out of a tour to play with another band. Its more like a bunch of different registered businesses trading as the name "Guns N Roses".Think its time to move on.

Popular Post seagullview Posted December 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Lot's of interesting stuff starting at 18:34 in part 2.Richard wrote chorus for Better and other bits, but for the most CD was already done when he joined3 albums worth at least already recordedAxl is recording vocals the very week that workshop took place (week 47) and some vocals are already doneRichard says Axl is very secretive, he wants stuff out but only when he feels it readyEdit:Also at 00:52 in part 2 Fortus tells his favourite unreleased track from the next album is a song Robin Finck wrote but he's not sure if it even got a title. He says its not Soulmonster and hasn't leaked at all. A lot of songs haven't leaked. He says he probably knows the songs by different titles than we do.

Lio Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 I didn't know ALL the songs on CD were actually (practically) done by 2002. (Or I'd forgotten.)So is this the first time we hear someone say that Axl is actually recording vocals this (that) week? I hope it's true. That sounds infinitely better to me than 'he's looking at it' or 'he's just picking songs'. Yay, he's actually singing! I see a glimmer of hope on the horizon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhiad85 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Yeah he said 'as we speak', there was a little more I asked him about after the workshop and he mentioned after he finishes with Dead Daisies in Australia (before mid December) he was going to return for more studio work, but he didn't say in what context. Somewhere after 18:00 in video 2 were all the questions about song-writing etc. After I got done asking him what the deal was with DJ having 10 demos, Ron saying they hadn't written together as a band etc, he said "I look forward to reading about this online tomorrow", everyone laughed and my response was "well no-one wants to talk about it" and that's when he started saying about Axl being secretive etc. Edited December 2, 2014 by rhiad85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 This can only be good news. Fortus and Dj seem very central to the next record, but Axl maybe be working on even more tracks than what was done around 2006 (30 songs). 2 or 3 albums seems like 30-40 songs in the mix. CD II is done it's just whether they add some more recent songs.A Dj/Fortus/Axl song could potentially rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 (edited) Fortus was not credited with 'Better', 'Better': ''(Rose, Robin Finck)''. The poor bastard was robbed of royalties!!Recording vocals on the past weeks means we will have new songs ready by 2018.It also means the vocals will be Axl's vocals of, 2014 vintage!

robin2002 Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 That was cool to listen to, thanks for posting. I really like Fortus, cracking guitar player and the Dead Daisies are a really good band. Bit of a shame that Axl is still 'working on vocals', but at least it's something, still think we're a long time (and no doubt a few tours) away from another album though.

maynard Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 So, according to Richard, Axl was recording vocals recently. So CD2 is not done after all? Or is it for CD3? Remix album?"Axl said CD2 is done" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 It's little snippets like this that still keep me having any interest in this band, and I suppose you could say Axl's musical/creative ability too...!Thanks for this man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 Interesting stuff. If it starts to become apparent we really are on track for an album in say the next 18 months I wonder if any remaining leaks will start appearing. Or maybe they are working on stuff that they know has never been leaked hence the recording of vocals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted December 2, 2014 Share Posted December 2, 2014 So nobody's worked on stuff with Bumblefoot?What about Axl using Slash "seeds"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is where some of the reunion talk/camps in talks rumours have sprung from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
