Asia Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Yeah, Axl should have made new music and didn't but remember there was no Slash in the band. Now Slash is back, Axl is obviously happy and excited about it. He might have missed composing and recording with Slash just as much as touring with him so I wouldn't consider a new album impossible. In fact I think we will hear some new music and it will be sooner than later. Point is Axl loves Slash's guitars, he has always been delighted, impressed and what not with it like with nothing else. To be honest I don't think anyone else could truly satisfy him in this respect and this is one of the reasons there so little post-Slash era music out there. Axl is a perfectionist, if he feels something would have sounded better if Slash did that he will be reluctant to release it in any other version, even if at that moment he hates the idea of ever having anything to do with Slash again. Like "since I know it could possibly knock me off my feet and it doesn't exactly do this, I'm not getting it out, fuck you all". Now that Slash is back and if he really knocks Axl off his feet with some melodies, which is very likely, the chance for new songs is million times bigger than in the last two decades. And who knows what they've been doing behind the closed doors lately? They prepared the whole tour, the Troubadour show and we knew shit about, maybe they have 3/4 of an album ready? Maybe that's what Wall means when he speaks of surprises and spoilers? Anyway, we'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKesseli Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 axl has a lot of unreleased recorded songs for chinese democracy and we know that. just give em all to slash and duff (and izzy if possible) to work on it and bang, new songs. i think that izzy may be part pf the tour based on his tweet : "At this point in time , I`ve no involvement in the upcoming April 2016 GNR shows", tour starts in june.

Free Bird Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I'd bet my arse Slash and Duff will work on new songs while on tour. That's how it works, that's how they work. I don't know what will happen to them, I don't know if Axl will sing on them, but I know Slash and Duff will work on new music. Even if it's for VR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasted Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I just can't see Slash and Duff coming back to all this adulation to then just playing old stuff on some tour that can be labelled a cash grab. Maybe if it was the AFD 5 they could get away with it. But with just the the big 3 there's something to prove. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO a band worrying about its legacy is about as un-rock n roll as it gets. If a band is worried about that then yes, they should retire. A 2017 album is going to have no affect on how amazing Appetite, Lies, Illusions and CD are. A crappy album today shouldn't make anybody throw away their Appetite albums. A bad album today isn't going to make Estranged a bad song. Imagine if somebody told you that you need to retire because you aren't as good at your job as you were 20 years ago. You would tell them to mind their own business. You have a family to feed. A house mortgage to pay. A retirement to build. And you love your job. If a bunch of lifetime musicians want to share their music with fans - more power to them. It's their life and legacy. Not ours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starlight Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If Slash is back with SMKC in may to record their album that means Axl has no intention of putting out new music at least at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Un42nutzly Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) Axl did say the true vision of Chinese Democracy was for it to be "traditional record", similar to Appetite, but he couldn't do it justice without Slash. New music is coming. Edited April 7, 2016 by GNRFan53 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I think a big thing about new recordings is adapting to the current state of the band. By that I mean Axl sounds like a fucking beast still in his lower register (ISE).... And in The Seeker, whatever voice or register that is... His sort of "HEY GET THAT GUY OUTTA HERE" angry clean voice..... That sounds amazing. Slash can write a record in a month... They need songs that showcase them as they are now, so we can stop bitching about rasp and seeing Axl lick his fingers singing about banging teenagers. That's not how they cymbal washed it in the 80s.... WE NEED NEW ROCK MUSIC. Edited April 7, 2016 by Ant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, every logo they've used since the 90s have been fucking GARBAGE. So glad they've ditched the Journey font bullshit and whatever the fuck the nonsense CD logo was. Awful. The whole band look and merch was horrible, too. It got better in 2006. but was not as good as velvet revolvers artwork. i would still prefer the greatest hits logo in silver for gnr 2016.
