jekylhyde Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 4-song EP's once a year + a video. I think even Axl could do that.If they release an album, I hope it has 8 songs (10 max.) All killer, no filler. Like the albums in the 70's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 Too Fighters just released a 7 track album?Rock or Bust is 30 mins long? GNR could put out a 7 track album easily.

dalsh327 Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 I think Dave Grohl's experience making the previous 2 documentaries about his band and Sound City played a lot into Sonic Highways. It might have been a little self-serving as far as pushing the new music goes, but the "videos" showcased the studio as well as did a variation on the "lyric videos" that have become part of the norm. It's not that different from the "Patience" video, it's probably the only footage he's got of the band in the studio, apart from Shannon Hoon's home movie. You could put GNR on any stage in the world with kick ass scenery in the background to give it something extra, or have a director thread the songs into a short film, with or without the band in it. It would be cool to have "Axl Rose man of mystery" doing something Hitchcock-like in videos. To me it makes sense if he has an assload of songs he can release, keep working on the ones he feels need more work, and gradually roll them out. The fanfare and hype? Just one or two talk show appearances, no interview, just play Kimmel's rooftop, overlooking Hollywood. Shut the streets down and just do a "surprise motherfucker" concert.

wasted Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 a full cd is more the GNR style. 12 tracks at least. Extend those solos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfriend Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Axl's too into his grand statements to bother with singles. I don't see the point anyway, veteran rock acts don't get much airplay or have hits anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 This made me think though.. I've always been more of an album man. I like singles. I like good songs. But to me that's still immensely different from sitting down with a new album and really listening to it. It's a very different experience. I mean, a song's a song. But with an album there's so much more. Some things you like, some you don't, some songs put together work as passages, some songs work as bridges between songs. An album can take you through a whole set of emotions and moods where a song just can't. I think it's a different (imo more complex) art. An album can paint a bigger picture and I love that. And it really evolves too. What things you like or don't like or what grows on you. I love that about albums. I feel horribly old saying this, but it also has to do with attention span and really taking the time for something. Somehow that seems to be less and less worth it to people. Like they just want something fast and simple and they don't want to invest in the complexity an album has to offer. It's not just with music, but it's a great example. It's a shame really.

tomfriend Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Why bother just putting 1 song out if you've got 30 sat there? Mind you, more to the point, why put 0 out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 GNR singles get judged as albums so they might as well buck the trend and go for triple cd set. Then tour until they can't. All in and out. CD II, CD III, CD IV all released in 2020. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val22 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I would love a new singe and a video. I think having a video with the new GNR would be cool.I think if there's no music by the time another tour comes around, Axl isn't going to release any more music ever again.I don't think I can wait another 15 years or so and neither can Axl.
