To automatically assume the tunes were not released cause they were not good enough is "biased" and the catalog is fairly small so an album with just 10 great tunes is not a very good idea imo, not good enough after 11 years of no release. Better if they release something like the Illusions in terms of quantity or at least 14 tracks if you want to keep it realistic.

RussTCB Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 I sincerely doubt they'll bust out the "Chinese" moniker for any future projects. If anything, I think they'd be wise to go the S/T route as was rumored years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom2112 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 The remaining songs weren't left off Chinese because they weren't good enough. The songs chosen for CD were chosen because 1. they fit together better. 2. Some of the other material was more aggressive and or experimental (according to Axl) and it didn't suit the tone of the rest of the material. 3. A lot of the songs chosen were chosen because they were leaked so it made sense to release them first. Axl definitely doesn't view the remaining tracks as inferior. What the fans think? Who knows!? but I for one would love to hear something new and fresh, Instead of 12 stale gnr clone songs that have a vague familiarity to AFD or UYI. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so sick of the Chinese Democracy shit for the past 20yrs lets move on now it's done this is a new era! There’s no way it will be named that. Chinese Democracy is a thing of the past, of Axl’s solo. Now they’re a real band again (Tommy "the General" my ass, he was just a pawn like the others when it came to decision-making, wasn’t he), and the guys are an integral part of it. So the name will be "2020 Intentions". Edited May 30, 2019 by jamillos 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this allows axl to finally get the monkey off his back with having the confidence to constantly release music. Im hoping once the album is done a second album is already recorded and ready to drop after they tour. That's what I'm hoping for too, that they'll get creative again and be inspired to release more albums before they retire. I think they've got a lot more gas left in the tank, we just haven't seen it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunsdrummer63 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 behold the truly complete box set that will be released on the last tuesday of 2030 -Axl CDII- Slash and duff appear on 1 song. This is more of an EP with only 4 songs total. -The slash album: Songs entierly composed by slash along with lyrics and vocals by slash -The duff album: punk rock and plays all instruments. Slash and Axl do not appear citing musical differences -The izzy album: its one song long and its an acoustic cover he recorded on an iPhone 5 -the "aux" album featuring dizzy, melissa and teddy zig zag only -The "where do I go now?" album with Steven playing all of AFD on drums with no other instruments -The "so close" album with post-UYI demos with slash duff and matt. no vocals with the occasional skipping of the audio since they used original tapes -And lastly the box topper: Rock the Rock recorded in several languages. To appeal to all GNR fans. All for the low price of $3000 with special financing for 36 months no interest. Ships anywhere BUT the US. The liner notes future thank you's to team brazil and nothing else. On every page 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads up to your pal running the interview, he did a great job and asked the good questions. This interview is the confirmation we needed, they're definitely working on a new album, and Slash going to Axl's studio was real and directly linked to the new Guns record. Great! Also, did Slash make a joke about Axl cutting the phone call? The audio is not clear enough on that part and I fear my english is rusty. If he did joke about this, it means their relation is very healthy. I doubt they'll play a new song during the upcoming mini-tour, from what I get, they haven't recorded a complete song yet. Maybe some parts and ideas here and there. Who knows, maybe we'll have a surprise. It also explains why Axl is so silent these days. He doesn't use twitter no more, no communication, that's a good sign (or so I hope). I hope he hits the gym a lot and does his best to look as close as possible to his 30 years old self (one can dream!). Stop the junk food, stop alcohol, run twice a week, and do some kickboxing. Unless he doesn't care about the iconic visual part no more, or doesn't understand how important it is. Sure the most important part is the voice and I didn't care much how he looked in 2010 because he sounded amazing. But I've always wished he'd disappear for a while and come back looking like a million bucks. He can definitely do it. Look at Kyle MacLachlan. He has looked like shit for a while, let himself go, but lost weight, hit the gym, and looked his best for Twin Peaks: The Return. There's even a line stating how good he looks in season 3. That's how you do it! The thing that's really bugging me though is the part where Slash says "we hadn't really done anything yet". Damn. That means the rest of Chinese Democracy doesn't count. I really hope "The General" will be the opener of this new album, at the very least. I don't see this line-up topping The General. Aside from this track, we haven't heard much except a very short clip of Checkmate (which I dig a lot, I'd love to hear the whole song), so who knows. Maybe Axl has thought this through and doesn't feel it's up to GN'R's legacy. Now, again, I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I feel what Bucket, Robin and the rest of the CD staff have brought to the table is more interesting that what Slash & Duff have released ever since they left Guns in 97. I absolutely dislike Duff's last song (haven't listened to the whole album and don't want to), and there's absolutely nothing on Slash's Living the dream: it's mediocre, generic and utterly boring. I don't want the new GN'R album to sound anything like this. So really, I don't have much faith in their skills. It will all rely on Axl, pushing everyone to the max. He has to become the leader again and expect top material from each of them, along with getting back in perfect shape, both vocally and physically (mostly vocally, obviously). The next mini-tour will allow us to see if he's trained enough. I went to the Paris show last year, I was happy to see them together, I enjoyed the show, it was cool. I did love the setlist. My expectations weren't too high, because I knew Axl wasn't using his full potential. But if it's a new album we're talking about, I'm expecting top-notch quality. Axl has never disappointed me when it comes to studio album and he's not going to throw the towel now! Yeah...Twin Peaks Return was really good...Lynch did it like no nostalgia series...I almost cried when Coop was back in hospital...Also I didn't understand last episode...What did happen?...Will be there fourth season? But this is reallly good news...I can't wait for new music...Also I want to hear nee stuff not stuff from CD era... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colossus of Rhodes Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Finally! A working man interview... "Hey Slash how's going?" "Here, touring a bit, working on new material for GnR..." This is how it all started. Way back when Internet was discovered, the first search I did, related to popular culture, was along the lines "Axl Slash interview GnR new album". All I ever wanted was this LOL When I did that search in '98 there were few clips from maybe 91/92, and they were just like this one (of course taken from Terrestrial radio). I wouldn't be concerned with CDII stuff, it's perfectly normal for them to have a starting point, where they'll end up, who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Don't want to be an asshole and I really like postive threads like this one but there's nothing new that surprises me at all with this interview. I mean... it's cool hearing Slash visits Axl's homestudio but to me it was never a question if they will try to make a new record. Slash is always writing music and Axl stated he has a lot of stuff and wants to do something. But the main questions remain the same. Are they able to record a whole album together without to struggle? Do they have the same artistic target or are their ideas about GNR still close enough to overcome their differences and different work ethics? How long will Axl need for his vocals? How long will he need for the production? Will he overproduce the record with his layers and farts? Everybody is so positive about this topic but it's till a long way to go... unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me I definitely feel positive - regarding same artistic target, to start you have Slash and Duff willing and gun-ho about playing all those Chinese Democracy tunes live for the whole tour while singing its praises so I don't think it will be really that hard for them to find musical common ground. Along with Axl digging Slither enough to want to sing it himself. Slash himself definitely at this point has probably heard a lot of Chinese material because Axl back in 2016 during China Exchange said he showed him stuff so I bet that amount has only increased since, so for him to feel good about it now definitely means something And most importantly, you have the big 3 not on heroin or lead singer diva syndrome anymore It is a long way to go, but the road ahead seems a lot less foggy and less uncertain just based on his words here. I am cautiously optimistic Edited May 30, 2019 by WhazUp 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood Gunner Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 i get that there are quite a few people here that really enjoy the CD era and want the leftovers real bad but we havnt had and album co-written by axl and slash in fucking forever... i want the new album to be as far from CD as possible... i dont hate the album but its like been there done that now... its time for some fuckin rock n roll... i know it would be better than nothing but personally id be dissapointed if we get CD2 and i expect the marketing hype to be through the roof... if they had billboards all over the place to hype up that afd boxset, i cant imagine what we'll see for an album of new material... if there are any leftovers i expect it to be uyi leftovers... and even if there are a few cd era tracks on there im pretty sure they wont be marketed as such cuz the average fan doesnt give a flying fuck about cd 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
