gavgnr Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) Got to thinking that the reunion in 2016, amazing things go it was/is, possibly means that we’ll never hear CD2 and tracks like Atlas Shrugged, The General and Cuban Skies. Maybe Chinese reloaded might have been released already were it not for Axl, Slash and Duff joining forces on stage once more? Does the upcoming release of the remastered Appetite only reinforce the viewpoint that new material from Guns is as unlikely as ever? Maybe the reunited Guns has no interest in releasing tracks which were pretty much finalised during Axl’s Chinese Era with the likes of Finck and Buckethead over 15 years ago? Thoughts folks?

MildlyArtistic Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If the tracks are good, I can see the current lineup reworking the best tracks from the album. But realistically, I'd say a Chinese Democracy era boxset is the best bet to hear any of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stress Fracture Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I doubt the reunion made much difference. IIRC Ashba and Bumblefoot wanted to write new stuff too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lies They Tell Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I don't think so! The fact that Slash and Duff are playing so many Chinese Democracy songs live suggests very strongly that they respect Axl's songwriting skills. We already know that Axl has played CD2 songs to Slash and Duff and they liked the songs. When they'll release a new album, there's absolutely no reason to believe that CD era songs wouldn't be included on the album, with Slash's and Duff's input of course. It seems pretty obvious that this Appetite box set is something that they did only to please the fans and maybe to buy some time so the fans would have something to chew on while they're working on new music. This box set doesn't seem to be something that the GNR camp is all that excited about themselves. Otherwise they would be promoting it and they would have made a proper music video for Shadow of your Love. But the Appetite Box set is just something for the fans, not the main focus of GNR. I believe that Axl's true interest is in new material, CD2 music included and at the moment AC/DC especially seems to be his main priority. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modano09 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If the songs are good and/or Slash/Duff want to use or work on them we might hear them in some form. But I don't think we're getting any kind of "Chinese Democracy" continuation, for marketing purposes if nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did predict the song title "Going Down" in that list, before anyone had heard anything about that song, so it's not all that crazy to believe that the other song titles on the list could be real also.

themadcaplaughs Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) I don't think we'll be hearing ANY new material from this band; CD2 or otherwise. Not a knock against the band, just what I consider the reality of the situation. I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

Gackt Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'd love to see a 10 year anniversary deluxe edition of Chinese come out later this year. Wishful thinking, but there's a lot in the vault that I'd love to hear from that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faxl Rows Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 If General, Atlas, Silkworms etc had leaked in some form there'd be less appetite for CD2 material. Hoarders, for the love of god do something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Order of Nine Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) I think they will take Axls best from what he has and then slash and Duff will rework that. And Slash and Duff will write another portion of the Album. The way things are looking there could be a compromise, especially considering Axl mentioned that he played them his material and they liked it.

RussTCB Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I've said this before and I'll say it again now: I truly don't believe we'll hear any further songs from the Chinese Democracy sessions. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Tino Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I hope we do. Odds are we would get a “Live Era II” first anyway. So don’t hold your breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The reunion killed what flimsiest chance remained of hearing those songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunder Monkey Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I believe eventually (and by this I mean still years away) we'll get a new album which will be a hybrid of Axl's remaining CD songs reworked by Slash/Duff and filled out by a couple of newer modern band songs if there's not enough. I don't think Slash and co will have a problem re-doing parts for it as they seem to be open to reworking and playing the CD era songs live. Had the reunion burred CD and the band played nothing from post 1993 I would think differently that it might just be a lost album - but they've demonstrated that we're still to consider CD a GNR release and they stand by it by doing the songs live right in the middle of the reunion. So there's no reason not to take whatever is left and rework it with the current line up. Might even become an extra good idea as axl's voice ages further in time. But I don't think it's going to be soon. I mean we have this AFD stuff to get through. Then there's talk of Axl/Dc and we know Slash has solo album to promote. So we're looking at after all that before a new cycle - and then I wouldn't be surprised if they bused out some UYI based 30th edition by 2021 either which could be another way of not getting around to a new project... So yeah...not holding my breath for it...but I think if they all live long enough...eventually Axl will get around to releasing those songs...but I don't think you'll get Robin and Co...I think they will be Slashed Up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Tom-Ass Posted May 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2018 I have no interest in hearing CD2, 3 or the first one for that matter... That said if Axl has a couple GOOD ideas left over, I wouldn't mind hearing them re-worked or finished with Slash and Duff in the mix.. Izzy too if that could happen. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie6 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Consider that the period of Creativity of: Gnr line up era of 85-89 is similar to the Gnr line up of 1997-2002. After both of these periods, several changes happened in the line up and no real new songs were really written or produced. And the reunion just killed forever the idea of new material. They will tour and tour every 3-4years for pure nostalgia. Every member will do their own solo project and Axl will release new Axl/DC songs.

Tom2112 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I think it's as close as it has ever been in regard to IF they are going to release the 2nd batch of CD material. Don't think the reunion success will stop Axl or encourage him. He'll do what he likes and hopefully that somewhat lines up with what we would like too... If not, that's fine because as much as I love gnr there's a lot of great music out there to discover and enjoy. I'm well and truly over the thinking and pining for the next gnr record. When/if it happens great, if it doesn't that sucks but I'll survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, the idea of new material was killed the day CD was released. 0000 similarities between GNR and the hired guns, 15 years and the best they could come with is on CD. I hope we don't hear anything related to CD CD2 CD3. Edited May 9, 2018 by felixGNR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I reckon they'll see the light of day at some point. Wasn't Slash supposed to have put down a solo on Atlas? Either way, any potential new GN'R album I think a majority of them will be songs Axl has already created and intended on releasing in years past, but with Slash and Duff's input on them.

Original Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Unless they (Axl/Slash/Duff) re-record it I don't want anymore FakeGnR. Or if it's released call it what it is- Axl Rose (solo). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
