username Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 If GnR released this EP next month, how long would it hold you over until getting anxious again about the CD follow-up? I guess the point or question is why not just throw some stuff out there. Be a perfectionist, wait a decade or 20 years before releasing your masterpiece, etc. But why not in the middle of that, occasionally releasing an EP for the fans to enjoy? What would you all think of this EP? How long would it tied you over? Live Side Catcher Better Twat Yesterdays Studio OMG Seeker Riff Raff One brand new song - don't even have to go into the legendary top-secret vault of songs (general, thyme, soulmonster, etc) - just pick the best song of the 12 that Ashba says he turned in. A week in the studio and that album would be finished.lolno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR DOOM Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I have ZERO interest in remixes and live versions of songs from the Chinese Democracy album.Only want "new" as in unheard music at this point, I'd make an exception for studio Silkworms.I guess the unfucked with/pre Ron and Frank versions of the CD songs would be cool, but that wouldn't constitute "tiding me over" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) No...Unless it's a lies type of ep, with essentially 8 new songs. Not live songs we already have, or a redone version of a song from 1999... Edited April 5, 2015 by Iron MikeyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvH Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Please no DJ'ed Better. His remix was simply awful, more overblown than This I Love with that slowed down pace and these awful piano notes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I sincerely hope that Shackler's remix never ever sees the light of day.I kinda wish they'd release studio quality versions of CITR and IRS from 1999. 2 new songs, Going Down, TIL, CITR w/ Brian May - that'd be enough. Throw in '99 IRS and OMG w/ Bucket as a bonus download or something, just to be nice. ( ) Edited April 5, 2015 by Gordon Comstock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Comstock Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Do bands still release EPs?Most just release or re-release a special edition of an album instead of having a standalone EP between albums. But that ship has sailed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bono Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I don't need a tide me over ep or anything because I truly don't care whether he releases anything new or not. Honestly at this point the only thing that would excite me would be a reunion album. Seeing them play ive together would be alright but I'd want a reunion album. So this ep woudln't interest me one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Minus Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) To add to what sixes has just posted, Axl should fucking retire this lame, sorry, tired excuse for "the most dangerous band in the world." The most dangerous thing about this band is the damage Ashba could cause to his sight with a mis-placed mascara application.

Release it and perform it or perform it and then release it, who gives a shit, either way your fans will be happy.It's hard to say how much Axl truly cares about his fans getting more then one album every 10 years. I think his main goal is to release albums he is satisfied with artistically and I'm guessing when the time comes for a release, he'll want it to be in the right conditions.It makes the process long and difficult to achieve and that's something that is probably never going to change given the fact there is no one above Axl when it comes to the important decisions. He controls everything so the way his band operates is fucked up.Latest Axl achievement: losing a guitar player that was 8 years in the band and basically wasn't allowed to be a real part of the band.

wasted Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I wouldn't release Lies 2 but I thought that was the OP question. But earlier I did a more 12 tracks of new material, remixes and covers which I would release if a stop gap is what they are thinking. Nice to see so much passion for not releasing stuff though. 2022.

Sixes Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 (edited) Why is there a need for a stop gap after 7 years? After 7 years, there should be ALBUMS worth of material to release not some 4 song ep of 15 year old songs. And these albums should be of songs that have been written in the last few years, not bullshit hyped songs like The General that for some reason fans think is a masterpiece based on the title alone! And how long is this stop gap for? A new album would then be released a month later? 2 months later? Of course not. There would be no new album. It would just cause fans to think there was a new album imminent when instead, Axl would then do the Chinese Democracy EP tour for the next 8 years.
