purplestargirl Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 What I don't get is the secrecy for muting the audio on the video. London is just jamming with Duff and his father, whether or not it's Slash's solo stuff. Everyone who follows Slash and his music outside of Guns has heard it before. *Shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's young and probably still honing his skills. The internet can be a cruel place. My son keeps begging me for a youtube channel to post his art stuff but I'm really dubious about letting him put himself out there just yet. Social media is a really tricky parental issue, it must be even harder if they are a kid of someone famous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 I had a heart attack when I first saw that 'new music' wording from Meegan. It's definitely not a clear cut situation this one and my optimism/pessimism spectrum is now in overdrive. London's 'band' has so far, from what I can see on his insta, consisted of him and his guitarist. They've been advertising for the rest of the band. What actual music have they made? I don't know. But to use the word 'new' music for a fledging band is...well, it could just be Meegan not being careful about her word choice. Or it could be referring to new Guns music which London is having fun trying out along with his dad. Or they're trolling us. Argh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Any new GNR music is Axl's music, we know how territorial he is about this from the past. I don't see him green lighting the first mentions being done like this. I suppose it's possible but more likely just a poorly though out, off the cuff comment from Meegan.

MaskingApathy Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Frankie boi better watch out haha. London looks like a pretty good drummer for his age. His technique looks good. Would be interesting to see him play some GnR stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) In any case, Meegan has now been inundated with NEW MUSIC?!? FROM GNR?!?! in the comments. ^^ Edit: love how someone has said 'You may well break the internet with this comment.' If it's not new Guns music, Meegan will be like, Be more careful Meegan!

If it doesn't have to do with London's band, it's probably new Slash solo stuff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just watching the clip again brings a lump to my throat. Look at that boy go, and Uncle Duff's up there with him - like holy shit, imagine being 14 and getting to play alongside Duff for a bit. ^^ Then again, if Slash is your dad... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) No doubt it's just for Londons band... But why don't they clear up the confusion like they did straight away with the Izzy/Adler Apollo thing and stop liking the posts about new GnR music ?

Maybe Slash and Duff went to the venue before the rest of the band... Yeah, but I wouldn't count Richard on anything to do with new music, lol.... I mean, it is clear who the bosses are in the band, even if Axl is still the major boss 8 hours ago, Georgina Arriaga said: Could be music made for the boy, for his own band. In the clip that he put in the instagram of his band Classless Act, he said that there is not audio because is top secret. Edited to add: I think Frank is a good drummer, and he plays well in GNR....don't see the need to change if is not for Steven or Matt Sorum Is that clip the same as this one? If it is then it's fair to say it's music for his band, otherwise making all this act using the Guns N' Roses stage and instruments, I find it a bit disrespectful.... Don't know 6 hours ago, Tori72 said: That's what I think. To me, London as a drummer wouldn't legitimize anything. Why? How? I'm not into monarchist systems .. lol Monarchy? That's not what I said In my opinion, this lineup is still questioned by lots of hardcore fans because it doesn't contain Izzy and/or Steven. And since I perceive that neither of them will be joining the band permanently in the near future, I think that having original GN'R blood joining the band would be better received by the fans than keeping Frank (who seems to be highly criticized) or picking yet another drummer. 4 hours ago, MillionsOfSpiders said: Has London got a pair of Axl trainers on?

I agree with your reasoning and probably you are 99% right with this, but let's don't forget how some major news from this band broke in the past. Like I said before, Slash mending fences with Axl was strangely mentioned in some random interview Slash gave to European press, and the reunion thing, or first hints of it, was inadvertently mentioned by a drunk friend of Susan's during some Hollywood show of I don't remember what. Probably this is not the official announcement, but if it's not clarified soon, I think we could safely add it to the list of hints they've teased us with, before major news were disclosed.

If it's not clarified, I'm gonna take it as a hint. I'll probably regret that, but hey, it's a leap of faith. I also think it'd be super cool to train the kids up and draft them in to the band in years to come. It's an awesome idea, even if it never comes to fruition. I mean, obviously their kids have to have the musical chops to be included. We don't want the kids in for the sake of it. Call me crazy, I just get a kick out of the idea of the next generation of Gunners taking over playing duties.

Whatever it is, I don't find it disrespectful that a band member's kid used the drum kit... As for London as the GnR drummer... maybe it would be perceived a little better compared to the current situation, but there would still be complaints, accusations of nepotism etc. But regardless of this, it's not realistic at this point. London is still a kid going to school. Having a teenage band for fun in his free time is one thing, and being in a mega-band like GnR is another thing for a kid at this age; moreover, they'd have to adjust their touring schedule to school holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I trust Slash that he's raising an amazing kid with awesome skills or at least doing everything needed for the kid to come out good! Like @alfierose mentioned before, I'm sure he's pretty much aware of the criticism in social media and everywhere, and how the kid would be submitted to heavy scrutiny if he was added to the band but all in all, I'm positive that London will come out great. Even without sound, I can perceive he's got the energy only a teenager could display and he seems to be very serious about it. No, I don't think you're crazy for fantasizing about this. If that's the case, then I'm crazy as well (although that's not news from me ). LOL. I've been following the life of the kids too and I know they are working hard to make it into music as well so I hope the best for them. They are all lovely kids 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for London becoming a GN' R drummer, I know it is not realistic right now in 2017, but how old is the kid? Probably 14-15 years old.... If he completes school following a normal schedule, in 2 or 3 years he will be free and apt to do whatever he wants. That span of time is probably what GN'R will take off for getting a rest from this tour and planning the future (if there is one, lol) so in the long term, it is not so unrealistic.

And I don't remember hearing complaints about it. So maybe there is a similar situation now with London. I don't think London is going to be the new GN'R drummer.

killuridols Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 For those who don't visit the D&N section, the good ol' Gibbo posted this video taken by another forum member who happened to be outside the venue when Duff, Slash and London were rehearsing.

Omg, I can even visualize Angus doing his guitar movements at the rhythm of this jam! It is odd..... I have never heard Classless Act music before but wonder if the band of a teenager in 2017 could sound so much like "dad rock"?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
