Ant Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Generally I feel songs are like fruit. They start out a little rough.... work on em a little... they ripen.... hit the sweet spot... but if you keep tinkering they rot and get away from themselves. I think working on songs from CD is a mistake. I'm happy to be wrong, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philipm787 Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 How do we know that they're not only working on supposed big guns he saved for Slash? Who knows? I'd wait to hear them before I'd pass judgment, personally 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jafeijo Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 How can people judge and throw shit into material they never listened? IF true, I prefer givin them the benefit of doubt, after all we're talking about the big 3, not NuGuns. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not a full new album, I'd love 4 songs released as an EP or something like that. That seems like a better plan if they're adding to 'old' stuff. I am highly skeptical that they are, though.

Also this band looks to have 4 maybe even 5 NuGuns members.... None of which has really earned any benefit of the doubt. You can paste a Slash solo on top of a piece of poop and it will still smell like shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SurfsUp Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 8 hours ago, Mr. Dude said: This means that some songs could potentially have Slash (from two different eras), Buckethead, Bumblefoot, Robin Finck, Paul Tobias , Richard Fortus, DJ Ashba, Izzy Stradlin, and possibly Brian May as well as Axl- all on guitar. in the same song. They'd have to dig John Nash up to calculate the royalty breakdown on such a song. don't forget gary sunshine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

action Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 (edited) this rumour doesnt make sense anyway, if you think about it. reportedly, slash added a solo on "atlas shrugged" to be featured on a best of compilation as a new song. there are different kind of problems with this: - if AS is featured on the best of compilation as a new song, it would be silly to add it to the follow up to CD as an album track. would Axl really want to lose one the best songs to be wasted as a "bonus" on a best of album? - Axl isnt too fond of best of cd's anyway, given his opposition to the official greatest hits cd and the fact that Axl has never allowed a best of album. in the world of GNR, best of cd's are for fucking pussies. now he's going to waste one of his best songs on it? - i still believe the rumour, even after izzy's statement, that izzy has worked on some GNR tracks sometime around the announcment of the reunion. knowing how izzy likes to work, i guess he came up with the framework of a great song, said "here it is, do with it whatever you please, goodbye" and then slash has worked on THAT song a bit Edited March 8, 2016 by action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlterL Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 November Rain was really old when it was finally released, You Could Be Mine wasn't exactly new either. I see no problem with them doing the same thing they have always done. Or do you really think NR is a AFD leftover? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I saw Chinese Democracy as an album that was everything that Slash especially didn't want GN'R to become. 7 minutes ago, AlterL said: November Rain was really old when it was finally released, You Could Be Mine wasn't exactly new either.

It's nothing like anything in AFD though, and I'd go as far as saying that November Rain would spoil the energy and attitude of AFD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 why do they have to carry on with this CD era ? it's too much of an Axl album and there are no contribution from Slash Izzy and Duff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonLP Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Total hypothetical with no evidence or rumour or anything to back it up - but seeing as Axl and nu band redid appetite, is there any likelihood that already recorded CD tracks would get redone by Slash and Duff for this rumoured greatest hits album or something. Madagascar with some Slash on could sound amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Słash Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 So how does this go? Recorded in 1999, then re recorded in 2002, then re re recorded it in 2006, then re re re recorded in 2009 and now re re re re recorded in 2016? Seriously man, get those 5 AFD guys in the studio for 2 months and we will have the best album of the year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlterL Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I don't think Slash would improve it, but I do think they could do it. Gracii Guns, that might be true about NR, but what about YCBM (that was also written before AFD was released) or Don't Cry or I don't know how many songs in UYI I. How old a song is it's not important at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GibsonLP Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Most of the recent Roth / Van Halen album was old old old stuff and that turned out pretty great. Sounded 80% just like the old days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I really couldn't care less if the new songs they release were written a day ago or 10 years ago if they are good. Also I wouldn't dare to moan if we get any new songs from GNR with Slash and Duff. That would be just amazing! Of course I'd prefer a full length album and preferably several of them in the long run. But if for now I get at least something, I'll still be happy as shit!!! Because, wait, when was the last time GNR released a new song? And when was the last time GNR released a new original song with Slash and Duff? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went on for almost two decades about how unlikely a reunion would be and what it would actually take to do it. "It seems" that hey are going against all of that.

All 5 of the originals were important and Izzy is far more important than Duff ever was. That's one of many accepted half-truths. Ask most musicians in bands, and they'll tell you that the rhythm section is really what makes them tick. Bass and drums are the foundation on which to build on. I don't think Izzy was more important than Duff. They had different roles. Izzy brought a certain spice to the mix, but so did punk-Duff. Izzy wrote more songs maybe, but god knows who discovered the riffs first; Izzy or Slash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I believe the term Big 3 is related to the band that exists now - whoeever is there, they are the Big 3 that matter - and has nothing to do with the original line-up and who was more or less important there... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOVEMBER COMA Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Why does Chinese have to have any relationship with the current line-up of Axl, Slash & Duff? I can't see why a totally new album would not surface with no work taken from unrealeased chinese tracks. I think it would be quite possible that Axl will bring something new to the album that has not ever been mentioned in 'Nu-Guns' wheras Slash & Duff are writing all the time with Loaded & Conspiritors so easily a back riff catalogue there. Izzy?? Who knows. In other words why would Slash go back & work on something that is 20 years old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Axl is too lazy to record his vocals, I really don't get his deal, like man when the album is already recorded, he could have easily released it in 2010. But well its 2016 and now no new music, so at the moment I'd hear any music even if its 20 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
