ericy210 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 What would Axl write lyrics about? Stephanie Seymour? Old news broken hearts? "The system" trying to manipulate him? partying? naaah life on the streets of Malibu? conquering the naysayers? taco bell? assorted political issues? old asshole band mates? Not any more healing old wounds? reclaiming the throne? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl usually has something interesting to sing about.. He's not gonna come out singing pop bubble gum lyrics, that's for sure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Izzy and Duff can lift the weight off Axl here a little. Axl can still write about politic and social issues, serial killers, love songs. It's an interesting question because reunion records seem to fall short of expectations in some way. It's more for die hards to get more of something they like. It's very difficult terrain. For a band like GNR they need a Back in Black level album. Your best shot at that is the AFD line up. But that is also the biggest risk. So I see the logic of a self titled with songs from various members. There's probably material Axl wants Slash on so it could all work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Seymour weeping still allowed. Songs with general topics like Shackler's, shit like that just lyrically could work. Songs like Prostitute about the band itself or the artist and shit that went down between them will be challenging. Not sure about that. Chinese was dictated by the vocal melodies and lyrics. It depends what CD ll and all the other songs from the other members talk about. It's not that huge of a problem if you have a clear understanding of what it is you wanna say and you actually have something to say. Some music that was written with certain lyrics in mind can still work with a different theme, but if Axl already wrote lyrics he's 100% content with, that could be a problem. A song like Jackie Chan for example. Take the snippet we got and it kinda seems like it's like Prostitute: the theme is about Axl, the fans, and sellouts, other members. Don't see that kind of shit working, but others could. Edited February 20, 2016 by Rovim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I've been thinking, what if they wrote a song about the whole reunion thing. Could it work? About the war between them and the reconciliation. Kinda like this: Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow were enemies for more than a decade after Robbie Williams quit Take That in 1995. But then they reconciled and made a song about it. Could GNR make a song about their breakup without sounding as cheesy as Robbie and Gary?

It's never been a pure macho band, thank God. But of course that Robbie Williams example is terrible in it's cheesiness. That's why I was wondering if GNR could make something similar but with the right kind of attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
