FuriousStyles Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It's in their best interest to take their time, because if they record this album with the "hybrid" lineup and it doesn't come close to Appetite/Illusions...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MrSoftie Posted January 27, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 27, 2018 Don't think they need to hit that height, I doubt anyone expects any rock band these days to release an album as good as they did in their peak. A solid album with a good single is enough. I have faith it'll be good though. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont expect Brownstone, Dont Cry and Patience but I do expect Estranged, Locomotive and COMA. The ingredients are there, both of them never became stale or washed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably won't come close to those albums anyway, even with Izzy on board, because for most fans those albums are part of their childhood or adolescence, so it's more than just music, and no band can compete with nostalgia and the experience of hearing that kind of music for the first time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Quite interessting when you think about it - is there really THAT much pressure anyway? I guess an "only good"album would make everybody happy. 2 really strong songs/ singles, one rocker, one ballad. It's not like a new Foo Fighters or U2 or Metallica album sets the world on fire these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedo Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) I reckon a new Guns n Roses album with Slash and Duff would cause a fair bit more hype than another U2 album. But I get your point Edited January 27, 2018 by Caedo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the ones that are more realistic, but I think that there will be many people who will compare it to AFD and UYI and like I said, there's no way that they can compete with those albums.

Gold top 78 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I don’t think there is any pressure or expectations at all with GNR with any album. It was different back in early 90’s when they were one of the biggest bands about. You had Axl that wanted to keep the band more current and Slash that seemed to want a straight up rock album and that’s where it started going wrong. Today most people will just be happy to have a GNR sounding album with Axl and Slash on it. Wether it’s an AFD type album or a more UYI sounding album wont matter. A new album will never match up to AFD and probably UYI but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t make a new album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 This conversation makes me think about the Stones. They release albums with one minor hit and everyones happy and they tour stadiums based on it. And prior to that theyd already been in decline album-wise and only needed one major hit to keep it all going. I just wonder if given the long wait GNR has had will make for a bigger expectation?

EvanG Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) People are naive if they think that, at least a big part of the fanbase, won't compare a new GnR album (that consists out of three original members) with the old records. It's inevitable. 2 hours ago, soon said: I just wonder if given the long wait GNR has had will make for a bigger expectation? Definitely.

shocker Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 It took Guns`n`Roses forever to make that Chinese Democracy album and that was poor compared to Appetite for Destruction. If they gonna record a new album then God knows who long it will take but nobody should expect something in the same class as Appetite for Destruction.

AxlIsGod. Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I feel like the only way this could happen anytime soon is if the 3 of them work through the leftover CD stuff and re record the best of them, or if they come at it from an Illusions style where axl slash and duff have their own bits/songs/ideas and they all kind of have chunks of the album that are defined as "slash" "Axl" and "duff" songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Jay Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The wait for the second half of Chinese 'Chinese Democracy II' has been quite excessively long, that and the Chinese Democracy remix album I'm looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I am a fan of Chinese Democracy - there is no doubt its reception was weighted against those original albums Axl was a part of. There is no doubt this new album will be weighed against the originals - and I think it will end up being the primary point of discussion when judging the new album. Factor into the equation that all original members are alive and able to record an album - fans and critics will point out what is versus what could have been. TL/DR - Winter is coming.........

TheGeneral Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I think "Chinese Democracy II" would be a great name. Opening song could be a remake of Chinese Democracy with Slash & Duffs input. I would really like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way I'd be interested in hearing officially released versions of CD material with Duff & Slash would be a live album or as studio bonus tracks to something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbaugerud Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Axl came on here in 08 and said the next album would drop 2010. Same batch time, whatever. We are 8 years off already. I dont come here anymore. 2005-2012 did it for me. Just forget it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
