Regardless of creative input, simply having Slash's stamp on the next GN'R album will legitimize it so much more with the public. Even if it's similar to Chinese Democracy sonically, people will approach it with an entirely different mindset which will, in turn, undoubtedly have an overwhelmingly positive effect on critical response and sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lies They Tell Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 As long as Slash stays in GNR and new music will come out at some point, I'm cool with all of this. I just wonder what it actually means, if Slash is concentrating on The Conspirators for 18 months. What's Axl's doing in the meantime? Tinkering on CD2? Working on the next AC/DC album? I hope it's the latter and we're actually getting a new GNR record and an Axl/DC record in the not too distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GN'R is a huge, monster machine at this point and will undoubtedly need downtime. So yeah, the guys all have side projects that they can indulge in during those quiet periods. So I'm hoping Axl does do an album with AC/DC during that time. I saw them live back in June and it was absolutely fantastic. It's fitting that he and Angus collaborate in the studio. We might get a really introspective, badass Bon Scott style album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume so. CD reviews weren't all that bad but their was some background whingeing. Sales is hard to judge because they are so down from CD era and not as many bail outs. I wonder if this is why they aren't rushing it. If the GNR reunion record sells less than CD we will see some primo postings. Walls of poetry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Slash was playing on CD it would have been received much better. I get resenting it because it's just Axl and he shouldn't have called it GNR, etc, etc...but it's far from a bad album.

Slash said in his book it wasn't creative differences, and that he would have done anything, industrial whatever. Slash didn't get why Axl couldn't just do a solo album that is separate from Guns, under Axl's own name. Why would he do that if he considers Guns to be his own band? It took 20 years to get to a point where it's actually possible, now they can collaborate on material Axl is interested in, when Axl decides he wants to do it. So instead of Snakepit and fighting over riffs that could turn in Guns tunes, Axl doesn't seem to really care? It's a more healthy situation with mutual respect and a shitload of material to work with and from. But their may be considerations we don't know about yet, other than just figuring out how to put the album together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I guess nothing has changed, it's still Axl's band. It's whether Slash wants to play on CD II or not. If so, he might get some of his material on there, but it sounds like it will be co-writing with Axl lyrics and melodies, not Slash's vision of GNR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Slash needs to be busy. If something happens after or during this tour he needs to know that there is somebody he can work with.

Funky.Monkey Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Myles says new album: Is there any talk about a new album with Slash yet, or is Alter Bridge mainly at the forefront right now? Myles Kennedy: Alter Bridge is the forefront right now, but we’ve talked about reconvening in the next 18 months or so and doing another record with the Conspirators, so we’ll see how it all plays out! http://audioinkradio.com/2016/10/alter-bridge-myles-kennedy-interview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The rec comp must want product to hang on the reunion. Seeing as new material is so difficult, I think a Best of with 1 new Axl and Slash song might be it. A lost AFD out take or Crash Diet reworked.

Modano09 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Well "talked about" doesn't necessarily mean that's the plan. It probably suggests GNR aren't planning an album but if plans changed I doubt the Conspirators would stand in the way of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I should have made myself a little more clear: If you want to discuss the topic of the next SMKC album, do it here. If you want to discuss why Slash may have come back to GN'R, do it in a thread dedicated to that topic. And of course, personal insults aren't allowed in either topic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anguyen92 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) I think, at the end of the day, if Slash wants to make another album whether it is with Myles/Conspirators or with GNR, it's going to happen. When? Who knows? This guy just loves making and recording albums (the quality of the album is another topic, though.) In the touring sense, if Slash wants to tour with his solo band, sure it will not be in stadiums making millions of dollars in revenue, but Slash would still making healthy income since that tour would still be in solid venues (some arenas and nice music halls in non-North America locations) that most modern bands would love to play and headline in.

And plus with that band I would imagine it being fairly easy to write and record an album seeing as how they do it at a very fast and productive pace. I think GNR and the Conspirators can easily co-exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's the proof in that? He's got all the momentum he needs right now with Alter Bridge. They are touring Europe, atm, playing some pretty solid packed theaters and got an arena tour (7 shows) in the UK in a few weeks.
