mr. ritz88 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 It would seem that everyone has given up almost all hope, and at this point I don't even know if a reunion could do it. What do you guys think it would take to make guns cool again? The state they are in now is pathetic, and there may not even be a band anymore.

mr. ritz88 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Aerosmith did it back in the 90s they were older and became relevant again, its not impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Best case (yet, unlikely) scenarios-The reunion- Regardless of what some people think, this would not be the world-changing musical event of the century anymore. Axl has kept the brand alive meaning a lot of people are either oblivious GNR broke up or are pissed at him for doing what he did, Slash and co. have established good careers, and above all, too much time has passed. It'd still be big, though. Probably kind of like the Van Halen reunion. They would do a successful world, arena tour (stadiums in South America) and an album would sell 100,000-200,000 copies in this market. If it goes well, It would create a lot of buzz too.NuGNR Album- This would be a best case scenario for us, the hard core community. Let's be honest, a new NuGNR album with minimal label support would be lucky to sell as much as Aerosmith's last record. It would do a bit better than a Slash solo album because of the name, but it would make zero impact in pop culture. Still, I REALLY hope Axl just sucks his pride in and releases "CD II". At this point it doesn't matter if its a normal release, digital only, an EP, a bonus disc, or even just put on youtube. Just get it out there and move on. Then, whoever is in the band could theoretically make an actual new record. If it was more conventional than the Chinese material and has a catchy lead single, it could actually get radio play, but it still wouldn't do that much.Either way, the band's hey day has long passed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdeyahlxp Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Van Halen (sort of reunited) in 2007 and even released a good album in 2012, so it can be done. He better hurries tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. ritz88 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 It really is over, or almost over. I feel that there is one shot left in this gun, another few years axl will be 60 and that will be that. I wish that he was even a portion of how good he was before, and just gave rock one more kick in the ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr. ritz88 Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Back in high school I was so hopeful for the band,I insisted to my friends all the time that axl could do it all by himself. This was like 2000. Then I heard the rock in Rio bootleg and I wondered wtf happened to axls voice. Then, I saw the new band in 2002 in Boston and it was awesome, bucket, a snowstorm my friends going wild it was killer. I think that was one of the last shows before they all were canceled. Then 4 or 5 years go by, axl comes back looking badass and sounding great, hope was fully restored. Then CD dropped and I wanted so be for it to be good,but it sucked. Few more years, then the 2010 tour he sounded badass, hope restored. Then I saw them in 2011 in worchester mass,hope gone. And up until this point I always had some hope axl would be awesome but, unfortunately, I have no hope left. That is why I'm posting this topic, I just don't know what it would take to make them relevant anymore.

maynard Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Just release music. Not for relevance, not for money but for the fans, as a gift for all these years of support. It wouldn't "save" Axl or GNR but at least would be a nice gesture, it could save the "relationship" between the band and the fans at least. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facekicker Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Also, a few of these. One way, to be handed out to various people in Axl's entourage. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Nothing in the eyes of the casual fans, a time machine to rock in rio 2011 for me where new stuff was debuted and the touring since then was focused on the sequel. Now, I'll take another record from Axl at any point, the time for it meaning much has gone and it's basically a situation that could be expected looking forward objectively at any point during the new GNR train.

Tadsy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Nothing with hired hands.. anyone that thinks this band is guns n roses or ever was since 1993 is kidding themselves.It died in 93... time to let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) End the new band immediately. This is a given. That band needs to go as they are a complete joke.Release a bunch of archive stuff from the 1985-94 era. Demos/outakes would be nice, either on remastered versions of the albums or as a separate box set. A DVD boxset of concerts would also be appreciated - do it like Kiss with the Kissologies. That Del James Illusion documentary would also be welcome. Also, release a series of live albums since Live Era was not an adequate portrait of them as a live band.
