People in general would name drop Fleetwood Mac over the years because they've toured and people have gone to see them. I've never heard anyone mention GNR until recently. I don't disagree what the brand GNR stands for - I think we all agree on that! I'm simply making the point that GNR dropped off the mainstream radar for a good long while. The Fleetwood Mac name didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sabian11 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I believe they are making new music. I'd lay money down that Axl is taking his best songs he's had and Slash and Duff are taking their best VR riffs and putting together a new record. Plus I bet they've been writing on the road. Hands down It's GNR and the unthinkable is about to happen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, almost every day I hear GN'R being played on several different radio stations. This happened even before the NITL thing came to light. Some staples would include KOHD, SCOM, NR, UTLH, Patience, Yesterdays and once at around 3am even Coma (!!!) got air play. So yeah, point being, GN'R kept its relevancy radio wise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My part of the world - no GNR for a long, long, long time. And why would there be? Guns disappeared for years on end. Then remerged as a completely different band with a lead singer who was unrecognisable. And that was pretty much it until...well, now. Unbelievable that a radio station played Coma where you are.

Iron MikeyJ Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Hold on everybody... Fleetwood Mac broke up, then got back together with the Chain tour back in what?? 2000/01? Something like that. Since then THEY have done things periodically. I even saw a Fleetwood Mac special on VH1 classic or something like 6 or 7 years ago, and they were working on new music. As I said, they are a pretty transparent band. If they were working on new music, I doubt it would be a surprise, or gain the attention of some HUGE producer.

Christine McVie rejoined 2014 having departed in 1998, which means the classic 1974-1987 line-up is now together again. That line-up's last album was 1987.

So... are you saying YOU think the article is talking about Fleetwood Mac??? Because I sure as heck don't. Again, the article said "mostly original line up" not COMPLETE line up.

''Mostly original'' would here apply to two members. With Guns it would apply to three. I would've said The Eagles as their last album now has a bit of antiquity (2007) but they only have one original member. If not Fleetwood Mac, who else?

I've been in London for 20 years, never heard a thing. Except when CD was released and then for about a week there was some buzz, but not much actually, and it died off pretty quickly when the album was received with mixed reviews. 21 minutes ago, Iron MikeyJ said: Hold on everybody...

For what it's worth, if this rumour is real, I do think it's Guns mostly because of all the other clues you can put together alongside this, some of which I posted on previous page. You're right, I'm not sure that Fleetwood Mac would garner this kind of attention even with the classic line up back. It could be Fleetwood Mac, but it's more likely to be Guns. That's my take.

On FM radio at least in Southern California you can't even listen for an hour without at least one station playing SCOM lol, in fact being of how overplayed that is on the radio here I rarely listen to the studio version anymore - same with a lot of the Appetite and UYI hits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Here is one of my problems with it being Guns, Quote every member of the band cede control to the producer, and if any single one member of the band departs or screws up? It is over. Does that sound like Rose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) This is actually pretty interesting. I have nothing to do so here is my take on a few big bands, Led Zeppelin- I REALLY wish this was true. More than even GNR, but it isn't. They are as A-lister as you can possibly get but no one in the band has toured recently that would remind them of how good the money is. Plant has continued his solo thing, Jones does small collaborations, and Page is inactive. Not much in terms of animosity, alimony, lawsuits, etc between members. Everyone wants to believe they will do a tour or an album, especially because its their 50th, but it isn't happening. Pink Floyd- Technically 3/4 of the main lineup could reunite and do an album/tour. Both Waters and Gilmour have had some very lucrative tours recently, but not as a collaborative group. I don't think this fits, it would be too out of the blue. Journey- Unlikely. I could have seen Neil Schon and Steve Perry getting back together again for an album. Schon was pissed at other members of Journey including the current singer, but they just announced another tour with Def Leppard. It definitely isn't a reunion tour, so I'd say they are out. Van Halen- Kind of possible, they haven't done an album in a while but I don't remember anyone in the VH camp saying they'd never do another one again outright. As for the "most of the original lineup" quote, who cares in this case? They already did that with A Different Kind of Truth so I don't think that wording would be necessary. They also haven't toured in a few years and when they did, it was amphitheaters, so it was a smaller trek than their past arena tours. The half hearted line could refer to ADKOT being sort of pieced together, but I doubt it. Oasis- I'd say this would have been a good guess aside from the recent concert touring line. Noel and Liam haven't done anything out of the ordinary in regards to their regular touring schedules. KISS- This one could be likely. PLENTY of half hearted collaborations under the KISS banner lol. Psycho Circus, having a "fake" Ace and Peter, a past reunion that fizzled, and the small current collaborations between Ace-Gene and Paul. The concert money thing throws me off, but Ace has been playing with Gene a lot and recently collaborated with Paul. Maybe it sort of refers to them rekindling interest out there? I don't know. I could totally see Ace coming back to KISS, but the wording of the article sort of doesn't fit with them. The Rolling Stones- They started and shelved an album in 2016 and released Blue and Lonesome again. Concert money always flows for them, and this would only really fit if Wyman came back. He won't, and it wouldn't be a big deal to the general public if he did, anyways. They don't have any new lawsuits, alimony, etc and they've been continuous since 2012. Heck, Blue and Lonesome counts as a studio release. Definitely not them. Bon Jovi- I don't think Ritchie and Jon said they would never do anything together again. A new album with Ritchie back probably wouldn't sell much more than whatever they are currently moving now without him. I guess this can kind of fit, since Bon Jovi always makes a boat load of cash when they tour, but I don't think this would be a huge deal considering he only left a few years ago. Metallica- Just released a new album and have all the living original guys (no one cares if Dave isn't involved in a Metallica album). Definitely not them. The Smashing Pumpkins- This fits. They aren't A- listers compared to a GNR or Zeppelin, but they are still a huge band. Billy just played a few shows with Iha and Chamberlain, said he has talked to Darcy, and expressed interest in a reunion. His recent touring with the Iha appearances may have bolstered interest/sales a tad and reminded him of the good times they had together. I would believe this. Rage Against the Machine- I don't know much about them at all, but I do know the band has been touring under "Prophets of Rage". Maybe the money was really good and that prompted them to convince Zack De La Rocha to come aboard. Maybe the article is referring to the current "Prophets of Rage" moniker as a half hearted attempt because it wasn't the full band. The Eagles- This could also fit, they are also "back" and touring regularly since Frey died. I am sure they are making a ton of money. It would be fucking stupid, and the article implies at least Bernie Leadon (no way to Meisner or Felder) would be involved. Wouldn't be a stretch because he was involved on their last tour, but has been absent since. As for "half hearted collaborations", maybe they tried something since their last album in 2008ish and it fell apart? Who knows. Guns N' Roses- Do they like money? Check. Is most of the band touring now and making tons of money? Check. Alimony and lawsuits? Check. "Half Hearted Collaborations?" Sure! (Failed 1995 album, VR, NuGNR, Duff filling in, etc). The control to the producer thing is strange, but having someone reel them in could be exactly what they need. They all have tons of great ideas and songs, but having someone help them organize it better and cooling ideas could be a positive IF Axl agrees to it and AC/DC showed me he sort of seems to like having less control. TLDR- A few bands fit, but GNR does seem to fit best EDIT- Forgot about Fleetwood Mac. Good call, there. I guess that isn't a bad choice. Theyve had/have a shit load of personal drama (lawsuits, alimony), haven't released a new album in a long time, and have recently sort of seen a reunion with Christie Mcvine coming back Also, not Aerosmith. They have had all originals forever. Same with U2 (and they just released an album) Edited January 19, 2018 by ZoSoRose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
