mystery Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Axl needs to post on Twitter something random like his brunch but with an encrypted message at the bottom that people will try to solve thinking it'll have the release date for the next album.

WhazUp Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 On 12/25/2021 at 5:08 AM, We love Axl Rose said: Today is Josh Freese's 49th birthday ! Is he still just a temporary drummer for The Offspring or has he become a permanent member of the band ? Josh's drumming on the Village Session recordings were sublime, I love Brain too but man Josh really knew how to drive those songs in a unique way as well. I really wish there was an alternate late-90s universe where we got to hear a Josh, Robin, Axl combo in full 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubanSkies Dummy Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Josh is the best drummer Axl ever had. That Finck/Buckethead/Tobias/Stintson/Howerdel/Pitman/Reed/Mantia or Freese lineup was the greatest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Telling what story exactly?! They hadn't released anything and were generally ridiculed in the press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could've been about the stuff they've already released. Stories about Appetite or the UYI songs being put together but I realize that would be a no-go since Axl was still on bad terms with Slash and probably wouldn't want to bring him up.

But that was literally a different band? Who would want to watch an interview with CD members talking about albums they had nothing to do with?! I'd be interested in a documentary with all the CD members talking about the making and recording of CD though. But that ain't gonna happen.

The album really should have come out in 2006 and it would've been an interesting album to promote on a show like Story Tellers. That Spring-Summer period in 2006 had releases by Pearl Jam and RHCP so they would have fit right in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what you're saying but the nu-Guns-era really didn't stand a chance in the general press after the 2002 MTV VMAs and the success of Velvet Revolver. Which is ironic because they played a bloody helluva show at Rock Am Ring (I think). But still no album so... reap what ya sow I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I think there's still a chance they could've made that band and record work in that era but it didn't happen. They toured from 2006-7, Axl looked and sounded great, and the shows were well received when they were on time. They also debuted previously unheard songs from the album, had Better featured in a Harley Davidson commercial, and I think even shot a video for the song. It's mind boggling the album didn't come out in 2006. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drlaban Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 Yes. Weird it wasn’t released then, with 13 songs (minus Scraped). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackparker123 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) While listening to my Locker Leaks compilation CD this morning in my car it occurred to me that the next single could easily be Eye On You (possibly retitled to 'Mac Daddy'), a deliberately abrasive throwaway, followed by another 'Big Gun' i.e. The General / Atlas Shrugged / Perhaps. That would follow precisely what they did with Absurd / Hard Skool. Edited January 10, 2022 by jackparker123 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulMonster Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 There is nothing abrasive about Eye On You. It's delishishly slunky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually do quite enjoy the track and I would be interested to see what Slash and Duff would add to it, but it would definitely leave many fans scratching their heads, much like the response with Absurd.

El Guapo Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 And if Atlas and Perhaps are now considered as "Big Guns" we really hit a new low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubanSkies Dummy Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Read the sp1at interview from 2005. Atlas Shrugged never have been an "A - List" song. It was a "B - List" song, even in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
