killuridols Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 No, girls. I think he is talking about someone new. "From the past decade" means someone who broke through somewhat recently. I dont know... that's the way I interpret his hints. It is someone kinda new but also, an "entertainer", so its just not a singer... more like a complete artist. I'm scratching my head but I cant figure it out! .... and loved by millions of Americans?? Not many fit that description! Could be some winner of American Idol or shows like that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillionsOfSpiders Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Someone from American Idol would make more sense than an already established rock singer risking their reputation on trying to sing the whole of AFD. Maybe the singer will have to sing it in their own way rather than trying to imitate Axl too much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangerInThisTown Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Bach, Corey, Jack Black, Marilyn Manson, Scott Stapp, M Shadows are all people I could see doing that. My money is on JB. If it can be Jack Black it could even be someone like Weird Al lol.. he chose "entertainers" instead of singers so that's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lio Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 'One of the best live entertainers' is just Steven's opinion, of course. I can find some local guy the best entertainer in the world as well. But this singer is loved by 'millions and millions of Americans'. That could point to American Idol or something like that. He's not saying he's loved by millions all over the world. Hm. It's probably a young guy whose career hasn't taken off yet and who doesn't take any risks doing this. Grmbl, it's annoying we'll have to wait like six more weeks until we find out.

Axl`s BFF Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Does he specifically say a male singer could be a woman If he follows how all GNR announcements go there's always a slight let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killuridols Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Reading comprehension, anyone? The key is in "loved by millions of Americans", so that excludes worldwide upper famous dudes. And 'live entertainer' is also another tight clue because it means it is not solely a singer, more like a performer, a frontman, someone very histrionic so it could be an actor as well, right?

I like Jack Black but he would just go into comedy mode for sure. I know it'd make me laugh the first couple of shows but then it'd get old really quick.

I dont think it is Baz. He does not fit in the description at all, unless Steven is being pretty generous and nice (which he usually is). Not loved by "millions of Americans", not even in other nations. He is a live singer but he is not that kind of performer Steven describes, certainly not "the best of the past decade". Baz prime was in the 80's-90's and not even then he was considered the best of anything. I love Baz but he is nowhere close of being a worldwide acclaimed rockstar, adored by "millions".

BorderlineCrazy Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I do think Baz is the one that makes the most sense. Of course it would mean Steven is exaggerating but that wouldn't be shocking. They've been friends for decades, Sebastian claims to have written part of "Wasted Time" about Steven and probably the entertainer thing Steven talks about is because Baz did a couple of reality shows (a country one, a rap one, one to lose weight, the one imitating other musicians, one with Scott Ian, Ted Nugent, Jason Bonham and some dude from Biohazard) and he even won at least one, which could mean a certain degree of popularity. It would be odd to see him singing all the GNR songs, though, and I think he doesn't have what it takes to do it these days. Dammit, Steven, did you have to go on GNR mode and make it a secret? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangerInThisTown Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) I do think Steven isn't that careful with his choice of words and isn't anal about being like totally correct about wordings. That mistake in the "past decade" sentence could mean the past decade or past decades instead. That surely makes it harder to guess, lol.

Wheredowegomeow Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Some interesting guesses on that Facebook post...Corey Taylor from slipknot is one I thought of that I saw there too.
