It's most noticeable during the Apollo gig where only Duff, Slash and Axl have a spotlight on them. Well to be fair and not sure if it's the truth, but heard that the Apollo is a really old theatre which only had 3 spotlights. And of course those 3 lights would be on the big 3.

It implies that those 3 are bigger than the rest of original GNR. But if we apply it to current GNR, they are the big 3. The others, who are touring with them, don't count. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ak1nney Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) I just watched a documentary on youtube about Slash and his band recording World On Fire. They seem really excited about how they work together and creating music. I'm not convinced that GNR will get back in the studio together. Slash may take time off after this leg of the tour to do another album with his band. I mean... I'd love a legendary final record (or 2, or 3) from the current lineup of GNR, but unless Axl shows huge motivation and gets his parts done, it won't happen. I'm sure Slash, Richard, and Duff could write a great album musically (in probably 3 months), but we're talking about Axl committing and getting his shit done. The pressure would be insane to do it, and do it right. Edited August 1, 2017 by Ak1nney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janrichmond Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I still don't think there will be any new music from this line-up for at least a year. Axl will be tied up with ACDC. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're wrong, I rather have an Axl Rose solo album (really solo, with his own name on it) than a AC/DC album with him. He did good on the gigs but AC/DC and Axl are two different beasts, two different kinds that cant really mix together. Axl is almost a emo diva these days while AC/DC is all about rock n' roll and thats why the fanbase will never accept it. I strongelly believe that if Axl get so bashed again for a recording he'll never do it again, being unstable of his mind as he is, he should stay away from AC/DC and work his own shit out.

If GNR had never broken up and if they had a great amount of records released already I were open minded for an AC/DC album with Axl, but due to the circumstances we have, I would get really - and I mean REALLY - pissed at him when he's gonna release anything before he puts his effort in writing and recording an album with Duff and Slash. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still disagree. I don't think anybody would take this as devaluation towards Izzy and Steven. I think some have a problem with it because the rest of the lineup may come out short. But it is what it is, they are hired hands and everybody on this forum should know it's just a term for A,S and D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. The guy is in charge of one of the most iconic bands of all time, they're doing wonders and reconquering the fanbase they've lost... Axl'd be the dumbest person alive if he throw the chance of reestabilishing his own band away in favor of someonelse's band. I'd love to see him doing something else, I love AC/DC and maybe a project with Angus would be great, but not now, its time for GNR now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashoride Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 What prevents them from making an album together? I can see them doing another album and then back on tour. Axl and Slash seem very happy together. They bring the best out of each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXL_N_DIZZY Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If I'm not mistaken- "Big 3"'s been around since the UYI days after Izzy left. For better or worse- it's just a reality that A/S/D were the guy's that soldiered through one of the most legendary tours of all-time, became the "faces" of the band in massive music videos, clashed swords with Metallica and the grunge world, etc. And soon as they reassembled- it was back to touring stadiums. Apt term in my book- as I think it's more a "drawing power"/commercial thing than anything else- and the track record is undeniable between the UYI World Tour and NITL.

Popular Post pugachev Posted August 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2017 (edited) I hope they work on a new record after this tour finishes. Otherwise, I'd rather they just part ways. Don't want to see Slash stuck with a nostalgia tour band playing 30 year old songs. Much prefer to see him with SMKC making new music.

Majestic Beast Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I think there is a possibility,sure they have jammed new stuff but i dont believe we are so close enough,the tour will last longer as sold outs coming easily,there is much money to be earned yet.Then after tour come to end,a big break will be there for the band to rest.

Original Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 We'll prob get new music, just not from Guns...at least for a while. I'd guess (if no Guns plans) that Slash will get SMK back at it, Duff will continue with his various bands and Axl will do AC/DC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
