Confirmed new album slash feat mk and the conspirators

[Tadsy]

I don't really understand the logic of people's ideas that GNR might release a single to tired us over till they release an album? 

Here's the deal. 

This line up just made half a billion bucks across the planet playing stuff from 30 years ago, they did it blind folded. It was pretty much a business decision. It had nothing to do with music. Fair play to them. I would have too. 

It's OBVIOUSLY not THE priority for the band. If reuniting Axl & Slash on the same stage after 25 years doesn't make a new GNR album a priority over anything else (and it seems it hasn't) then nothing will. 

In the famous words of Axl, " if you're really into waiting, try holding your breath for Jesus, cause I hear the payoff may be that far greater"!

As much as I love Slash. I’ve bought all his cds. His post GNR wouldn’t reassure me about new GNR material. I’d prefer if he bolsters Axl’s unreleased material. IMO!

Has two bands

GNR is the side project.

For crying out loud, how difficult is it for them to give one freaking interview to let the fans know if they can expect a GnR record any time soon or not.

Worst band ever.

Nothing is ever set in stone in the GNR world. You can only be sure of something when you're witnessing it actually happening or if you can get it in your hands.

Apparently, for some reason, and contrary to 99% of musicians in the world, releasing something, anything, is a nigh impossible task for GNR.

That's why it still baffles me that somehow a successful semi-reunion world tour was organized and executed, with an extra European leg about to take place in a few months.

The lack of communication is because there is nothing to communicate. They've recorded jack shit, which of course, they would never publicly admit to, hence the complete silence.

Well apparently the whole tour was kinda a spur of the moment thing. It was just Coachella at first, then Vegas, then South-America and everything was just added here and there at that point, according to some insiders.

so much this.

not even a bloody appetite remix / remaster.  It could be a lot clearer without losing the harmonics. for crying out loud, this was mastered in 1987. Make Slash's les paul shine, dammit. Izzy's rhytms should be crushing, Steven's drums should be thundering. brilliant album, soundtrack of my life yadda yadda. but frankly, to these ears it sounds like it was recorded with a potato.

Which sounds like there is no "plan". Maybe its slash does an album axl does acdc and in 18months axl and slash sit down and say now what?.

They must know that a large part of their fanbase is wondering if there is new music coming any time soon... right? So how hard is it to let them know that it's not the case... it would take five seconds to say ''nah, we don't have any plans for new music in the foreseeable future'', and the fans can move on from this anticipation. It's not rocket science.

I think a new GNR album has to be a compromise between both methods. Slash really wanted back in the band so why wouldn't he be willing to work with Axl. In my opinion new music rests mostly on Axl's shoulders and if he's willing to change after all these years. 

Slash has always publically said if he wanted too get back to guns it would be touring.  Recording is another kettle of fish because im sure both axl and slash care about the gnr body of work. Both of them have publically stated that they do not have fond memories of doing the illusion records. Although slash has said he did like recording with the band minus axl. Im wondering if they are afraid of getting into possible power plays that both of them would have been guilty of during the illusion recordings in other words they dont want past behaviours  to resurface.

Yep, thinking that will happen. And at that point they have two options; do another nostalagia tour (Asia again, another run of festivals here and there, Arena dates in Europe and US / SA). Probably wont sell as good as this one, but will still earn them some decent cash. Or they could start thinking about an album. And then we'll learn if the old tensions are really gone, or if everything will blow up again.

[Axeli]

"Soon is the word" 

Perhaps they just dont wanna say anything. Because after they give a little hint of a new music there will be even more speculation and people start to wait..easier to work in silence. But yeah, they cant tour much longer with these old songs. Even CD is so old..

[DieselDaisy]

Slash has always publicly said that if he wanted to get back to Guns it would be with the original band also!!

Dreary grammar.

[Intercourse]

God knows I tried with Myles but his high octane nasal whine hurts my ears.

Lovely fella and all, just can't be dealing with the voice. Stuck on Year of the Tiger and had to turn it off as soon as the vocal started.

[Ralphelmo]

I'm touched with your story.

If they came out and say this it would potentially hurt ticket sales.

There's your reason.

[StrangerInThisTown]

Indeed, why would they go out of their way to make an announcement to announce what they're NOT doing? Does that seem like a smart move? Lol

It's music for pete's sake, it shouldn't be about money and business... it should be quite easy letting their FANS know whether they can expect new music soon or not.

I'm not expecting new music yet I'm going to see them this summer, and I don't think I'm alone.

Well, that's the thing. We're always talking about "smart moves", that they're leaving certain people out of the band because it could affect the tour and make them lose money (and that they're not needed because they're making all the money without them anyway)... Whenever we discuss anything to do with this "band", we're supposed understand that they're doing what they have to in order to maximize their income. 

I mean, forgive me if I'm not beyond excited about the awesome life Fernando's great grandchildren are going to have thanks to all the "right decisions" this big enterprise have made in the past three years but I used to think Guns N' Roses was a rock band and not this silly money-making machine that we're seeing now.

In my opinion, it's a very sad turn of events because people cared so they were gonna make a lot of money anyway, they didn't need to sell their souls to LiveNation and make a One Direction pre fabricated tour.

I get many people is sad/frustrated about SMKC making a new record but to me it's the best news ever. Everything is handled diffrently, to me it's Slash being himself and doing what he loves with people he chose because he loves it. Some years ago, he decided to go on with this band and reject the idea of going back to VR with Corey Taylor on vocals which would have obviously meant making a lot more money, that time he didn't put money first. To get back in GNR, though, he accepted Axl's band, accepted the idea of having two keyboards when he doesn't even have one in his band (and pretty much goes against what he wanted for the band back in the day which led him to quit), accepted Axl's material (and without getting his own in return), accepted not doing interviews... He made every single compromise that was expected from him.

To each their own, I don't want that Slash who's working for a salary, I want his band to be his project and his passion, not his job.

Really?  Not that I would turn down a remix, however Appetite I always thought was an audiophile quality CD, well mastered and the mix is amazing.  Even the original CD mastered by Barry Diament is better than the job Mobile Fidelity did on the mastering.  

A remix would be fun to hear though, as well as a tastefully done remaster/Hi-rez release
