oldnews Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Wintersun (one of the best bands on the planet) have asked their fans for $750,000 via a crowdfunding package. The money would be spent on their own building/recording studio (Wintersun Towers) where they could then finish work on the OTT Epic near mythical album TIME II http://www.metalinjection.net/latest-news/wintersun-is-crowdfunding-an-ungodly-amount-of-money-for-its-new-studio http://www.metalinjection.net/latest-news/wintersuns-crowdfund-has-raised-over-200000-for-its-headquarters-in-three-days Fans have been waiting 5 years for TIME II and since this crowdfunding where you can purchase digital files of a different album (The Forest Seasons) has already raised over $200,000 in 3 days it looks like they'll do anything to hear it So forget Chinese Democracy, TIME II is now the greatest album you've never heard so could the next GnR album be crowdfunded?

estrangedtwat Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 LEGEND OF THE RED PANDA STARTS NOW!!! But seriously, no, this wouldn't work. For whatever reasons, Axl has made it very clear that he never wants anyone to hear new music. Nothing is going to change that...not even dangling a purse-ful of money in his face. Geffen tried that for over ten years, remember? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estranged_85 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) CD 2 really? do you guys REALLY belive "CD 2" is gonna see the light of day? haha and WHY would GN'R ask fans for funding on a new album? i think they got enough money to sort that things out for themselves if they actually want to release a new record. That sort of thing would never ever happen. I mean GN'R is one of the biggest rock bands there is. Maybe if Dizzy were to only member they would have to look for funding Edited March 13, 2017 by estranged_85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mendez Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 If Axl wanted to release it, he would've. He wasn't even satisfied with CD fter years of fucking with it, so I think its possible hes not satisfied with the rest of the stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Axl says and what actually happens are often quite different. Just bc he says something doesn't make it clear that is actually what he wants or intends...or at the very least comes with a volume of disclaimers that are left unsaid.

It'll be a cold day in hell before I pre-pay him for work I may never see/hear. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maynard Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Of couse Axl will keep saying he wants to release more music. Can you imagine how the media would react if he went honest and said "I'm done with making music"? This is damage control. There's still a part of the fanbase (the nutters) that still believe in Axl's lol vision and they are dangerous, Axl is wise to keep them hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy you quoted was technically correct (the best kind of correct!). So I had to point it out. However, I also had to add my little bit of editorial in as well. He said he was working on new music. And he said he wanted to put out new music so I will believe him. I just also know that it may not work out for him and it may not always be what he wants. Things happen. People change their minds. Edited March 13, 2017 by sanity_lost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RussTCB Posted March 13, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 13, 2017 For those that always use the phrase "Axl said..." just remember that the dude has contradicted himself SO many times through the years, that "Axl said" really isn't a strong argument for either side of any one debate. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gackt Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 GnR would have no trouble at all getting funded by UMG to produce an album if Slash was on board. There would never be a need to crowdfund it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlRoseCDII Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 "Chinese Democracy II" was done nearly two decades ago. No need to fan fund it when it's done, sitting in Axl's basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhenYou'reTalkinToYourself Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Slash is selling his villa and Axl has committed himself to an endless touring and even applied for a second job to ACDC so they will be able to fund their new record. You don't respect nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress Fracture Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 No, crowdfunding something that's already been made on a major label budget (and then some) would not work or make any sense. Allowing us to buy it by releasing it might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoundOfAGun Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 They could spend the loot from a few shows, BUY all the studio gear and hire a producer and engineering team to make an album if they wanted to.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
