AxlRoseCDII Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 People at the hype of the hybrid reunion believe that new music will be released. And while I believe it's definitely possible, I just don't see it. In 2016, why would Axl release music? He has money. He's released as much as he's been interested. Yes, Slash and Duff are back with him now but I don't necessarily think that will drag Axl to the studio. He spent nearly 16 years releasing one album due to him being a perfectionist..and from the rumors we've heard, he doesn't attend rehearsal and hasn't been training. I think he got back together with Slash and Duff to tour and get some more money. I don't see why Axl would want to release more music, especially after CD's failure and I especially don't see Axl adding Slash/Duff's overdubs to leftover CD songs...

Babooshka Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 There's plenty of reasons. He'll have a bigger audience now Slash and Duff are back. People are also likely to be more receptive. There's the opportunity to renew his most potent creative relationship. And of course, have some fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ak1nney Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 1. He's an artist. 2. Slash is back in the picture. 3. Redemption from the years of bad press/reception. Who wouldn't want to put out a badass album if the talent and resources are there? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Because he's an artist and that is his job until he decides retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 To complete the discography. Also for GNR to go out on CD doesn't seem right. It's too down. There's at least a self titled record they could put out. With Slash and Duff coming back, maybe an Izzy song it will be a notable album. But yes no money or fame in it really. I doubt the songs would top the hits of yesterday. There's no road map for them really. Aerosmith used big videos and commercial songs to come back. VH sort of ended in acrimony again? FNM was nice little knees up. Without Izzy n Steven they wouldn't rekindling the chemistry. I kind of expect a more classic hard rock version of CD. Maybe it's unfinished business from the late 90s. The Big 3 didn't make a record. But if Slash helped Axl and Axl sang on Slash songs maybe there is a record. It will probably feel bad if they come back and get paid millions and they can't do a record. For them. It's embarrassing really. It would shed a lot of doubt on these shows. Unless of course it's just farewell shows. That would suck. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Axl's motivation would be going out with something more complete. CD just felt incomplete and never achieved what anyone wanted it to. Maybe he feels the opportunity is close to finish on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 To be a bigger band. GN'R era 86'- 93' was too big for a new album. A new album with Thal and Ashba wouldn't have been platinium in the US. That's why it is a rebrand now, to make gnr great again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I think he got back together with Slash and Duff to tour and get some more money". WTF? If it were a 'money grab' this woulda happened years ago. He/they coulda made massive bank if they had never broken up/reunited years ago. Reuniting now will barely tap what coulda been financially...let alone musically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The untitled or self titled. A black cover with maybe the shadow of the logo or something. Material from 90s-2016. Various writers but the Axl, Slash, Duff, Fortus, Frank, Dizzy band laying it down in the studio seems more likely. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vloors Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Slash and duff are constantly in the studio and creating music. That sort of atmosphere can rub off. Those guys also write alot and can come up with alot of ideas to help create songs. Pressure isnt as bad on axl when you got those guys around.

Mendez Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I think if anything, Axl sits at his piano just writing piano songs maybe never to be recorded. or released, just for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 None of the guys from (real, actual) Guns N Roses have done anything on their own that stands as tall as what they did together. I think Axl is acutely aware of how good Slash is and (vice versa) how good the end result of their collaborations were/are- hopefully that motivates him, kicking ass again.

With just a little bit of effort, pretty much everybody is going to lick GnR's collective asses during this upcoming tour. Surely that must be good for his ego after the last twenty years.

Ace Nova Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Like others have said, his passion for music, his own legacy and the legacy of the band. It would answer the question, "What could have been had they stayed together?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
