edsonandhudson Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) Clothes are cool and all but shouldn't bands focus on making music instead? GNR/TB only communicates with the fans when they have something new to sell (oh and for damage control like today). They shamelessly exploit their fanbase.

You'd think Axl would want Slash to be stockpiling his best riffs/ideas for the next GNR album, wouldn't you? The entire band is very supportive of one another. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will anything be done to keep the scalpers from buy them all? I've heard so many stories of fans waiting in line for hours, not being able to get their hands in a single litho because of scalpers not even going to the show. And how's Axl doing?

I'll take what I get. I'd do everything for a new album with new songs written by Axl, Slash and Duff. I don't even get mad about Izzy not being around because it is what it is. Unfortunately for some reasons he is not part of this band anymore and we have to respect this. It's not our desicion, it's theirs. But having Axl, Slash and Duff in a band and them not releasing music is such a waste of time IMO... @Fernando I know the band isn't very communicative about this topic but zi just don't get why it's that hard to say if they are working on new stuff or if they're just not interessted. That would be just fair to the fans. Edited May 18, 2018 by Free Bird 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 @Fernando How about for one design we let you talk to us about, you have to also talk to us about one unreleased song? Just kidding, of course, but the feeling that the band is now more about merch than music is a bit unnerving to a man who is too old to rock t-shirts with skulls yet would still love to get his young daughters hooked on new music from his favorite band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fernando Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 16 minutes ago, edsonandhudson said: @Fernando Don't you think the misinformation is in part GNR's fault? I mean, you guys basically disappear until you have something new to sell. It's been 10 years since CD. Slash's return was great but he's now preparing for a new Conspirators release. People are confused. Some of them express themselves with anger, some are trolls, some are clueless fans who hate the fact of being clueless. You can place blame, you may be right or you may be wrong, depends on who you ask or how much a person knows. I don't feel that it's right that you only hear from us when we have something to sell, we try and voice any and all accomplishments or future endeavors. Be a tour or an award.

Blackstar Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Hi Fernando, thanks for stopping by! You answered about new music, sort of, but I want to ask: What are the plans after the NITL tour is over this fall? We know Slash has been recording a new album with The Conspirators and they're going on tour. What about Axl? Are there any plans for joining AC/DC again? Has he been working on any new music recently, either for GN'R or AC/DC? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
