WhenYou'reTalkinToYourself Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 What makes this rumour seem credible to most of you? I mean, even if it's indeed about Guns, it's not the first time we hear a rumour that the band is planning to release an album... I would expect @DieselDaisy to say that Guns are never going to release any new music, but you don't seem to rule it out this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asia Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I'm not all that much acquainted with what other bands are doing but this piece of information just screams Guns N'Roses. The money for recent tour, the remembering how good they can be, I mean, who cares about Kiss or Smashing Pumpkins or whatever? This was the comeback of several decades that brought hundreds of thousands of people to the biggest stadiums. As for something they'd never do - well they had said they'd never do anything together again, so it includes an album as well and it could be a reference to that. Half-assed efforts to me relate to what they were doing before the split - Slash doing Snakepit, Axl not showing-up and all this drama. Whether it's true or not I don't know but I feel pretty sure it is about GN'R. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fleetwood Mac still have two originals, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, which is only one less than Guns N' Roses's current original ratio (leaving arguments about Tracii Guns aside for another day).

But FM releasing new music doesn't have that hell-freezes-over quality that a new GNR album could have. They've been touring almost constantly since The Dance and all classic members are on civil enough terms. I doubt they'd hide it if they're working on something, and I doubt they'd place an "if you leave, it's over" ultimatum on it. With the AFD5 though, it's a different story and it fits them far more.

It would be their first Fleetwood Mac album since 2003 and the first album featuring the entire 'Rumours' band since 1987's Tango in the Night. It would be a seminal event I feel. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) The sense of the rumour is firstly that this is an extent line-up (i.e. not a band reuniting before recording), of ''mostly'' originals, that have just recently completed financially successful shows. Secondly is that they have refused to do an album until now (''agreed to do something they said they'd never''). It cannot be then Floyd or Zeppelin who haven't played live since two one-offs in 2007 and 2008. It cannot be reunited Appetite Guns or Love Gun Kiss as that would necessitate line-up changes, creating line-ups different from the recent shows played. It probably cannot be Van Halen and Black Sabbath who both released quasi-reunion albums in 2012 and 2013; Sabbath would also be doing an u-turn on the 'farewell' thing. It cannot be Bon Jovi who are now operating under a bastard line-up and anyhow release albums. It cannot be current Kiss who released albums in 2009 and 2012, and anyhow, a release would not have that much interest to generate such a rumour. It cannot be Red Hot Chillie Peppers who release albums at reasonable intervals. Aerosmith? They consist of entirely originals; this band remember has ''mostly'' originals. Crue? Again, their last line-up consisted of solely originals who regardless released an album in 2008. That leaves only Fleetwood Mac and (current) Guns N' Roses.

Iron MikeyJ Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I can say with absolute certainty that it is NOT Led Zeppelin. Honestly, anyone going down that road needs to think a little harder. When has Zeppelin toured? A new album without Bonham? No way. Alimony??? Who got divorced??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron MikeyJ Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I don't think the desire for a new Fleetwood Mac album is really all that high. Not enough for it to be "secret" or with some high profile producer. If Fleewood Mac were working on an album, they would probably just say so. They tend to be a fairly transparent band.

I would argue they're more A-list than GNR. After all, GNR have only been 'remembered ' by the mainstream since the NILT tour. Before that? They weren't even in the vocabulary for the average Joe on the street - not because they're not good enough but because they'd been largely forgotten about. Fleetwood Mac have been ever present in the mainstream because their radio friendly hits have been played consistently over the years.

Not because of axls incarnation but for everything they’ve done in the 80s and 90s. In peoples minds the old gnr always stood for one of the biggest bands on the planet. People would still go apeshit over jungle or paradise being played at clubs. Even in the 2000s. Fleetwood mac certainly don’t. They could never pull off a tour like nitl. The average rockfan doesnt even know who they are. Edited January 19, 2018 by Carmenjello Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
