Are we sure the T-Rex cover was confirmed tho? I kinda remember someone coming out and saying it was all a misunderstanding. I could be wrong tho. There was a rumour that GNR had recorded Children of the Revolution for a tribute album, but the producer said while they didn't feature on his album, he did hear that Axl had recorded it elsewhere.

default_ Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Why are you guys so optimistic? I don't see anything pointing to a "real possibility", just the same old. Guess the leaks have warmed the hopes of some fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soon Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 That rumoured ep does not float my boat... but I’d take it. Although children of the revolution cracks me up as a possibility. id much prefer the original recordings of CD era stuff, personally. But again, I’ll take re-recorded gladly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote They are not on the record. In fact Children Of The Revolution is done by Kesha with a live orchestra that features Wayne Kramer and LA’s Jack Shit band that has members of Elvis C and Jackson B’s bands. There is a rumour that Axl Rose recorded that song for a different Bolan project without Guns N’ Roses, but again, it is not ours. ^^ producer Wilner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information came out about Kesha actually doing the song, not GNR. @Liodug up and posted the only real accurate statement we've seen. Other than that, it's just people dusting off old rumors that started here, then trying to pass it off as "new information". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold top 78 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 (edited) I really hope the EP rumour isn’t true at all. If it were true then that’s not something that sounds great IMO. Also if the tracks rumoured to be on the EP were true then that’s something that could’ve and should’ve been released at least over a year ago. I’ve read rumours on here since 2017 that Slash had recorded a solo for Atlas Shrugged so that’s not new news. SOYL is a 30 year old song that should’ve been on Lies and if they were going to put live songs on it then you would think they would use 2016 performances. As for Quick song and a T. rex cover I’m sure it wouldn’t take long to record them (well Slash and Duff anyway) especially if there were already lyrics/ vocals already there for Quick Song. IMO there’s no reason why that couldn’t have all been done for last year to tidy us over for a full album maybe next year. Hopefully rumours is all it is.

El Guapo Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 That EP would be a (another) disappointment. No real new song to give us an idea what the current line up is capable of. And another fucking cover?! XD Hope this isn't true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ZoSoRose Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 On 8/22/2019 at 3:17 PM, papashaun said: I'll just add my take.....When the "Not In This Lifetime" reunion first happened a few years ago, I was eager for the band to begin working on a new album. But, after taking time to view everything, I really don't think a new musical release is necessary at all. Why? Just look at pop cultural musical history, even taking rock music specifically. I really can't recall an album release by an established band in their "latter" years that's a stand out, go to, or album even listened to more than a couple of times. For Instance, I'm sure if someone pulls a Metallica album to listen to, "Hard Wired to Self Destruct" isn't going to be the first choice that comes to mind. Aerosmith, do you really pull up "Just Push Play" or "Music From Another Dimension" to listen through that often? Motley Crue's "Saints of Los Angeles" anybody still have that on rotation regularly? Even, The Eagles....a lot of people don't even realize they released an album of new material in 2007 (Long Road Out of Eden). Van Halen..."A Different Kind of Truth" in 2012, don't actually think I've heard a single note off that one in all honesty. Anything stand out to you from The Rolling Stones? My point is....sometimes it's best to let things be. The majority of the time, we have high hopes for something new from an artist, but end up disappointed in the end. I think it is because most established acts are past their creative peaks, and have settled into an easier lifestyle later in life, after being successful. I know there is a buzz right now for a new Tool release in the next week or so. I know there was a single released, but I've really just heard a small portion of it. Looking into things, the band hasn't released anything in 13 years, and have moved into their late 40s-early 50s, but a lot of die hard fans want new music. There's only 7 songs on the main track listing, and the album is put at over 80 minutes in length. For 13 years, and only 7 songs, I can already guess, day of release you'll hear some of the same die hard fans criticizing as to how this is the band's weakest release, or biggest disappointment, and it could not be that bad at all...but too high of hopes will be placed on it just from the gap between albums. I fear the same thing would happen with GnR. Myself, since it isn't the original AFD lineup, or even Gilby or Sorrum in the mix for that matter, just let things be as they are. If nothing new is ever added to the band's catalog, I'm fine with the great material that we already have. Ppretentious drivel Who gives a Fuck about any of that. We want new music because its out favorite band 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what that post was all about, IMO. The user seemed to feel the need to remind us all how much more educated they were on music. They were probably oretty embarrassed when a bunch of users argued all of their points though. If @ZoSoRoseis guilty of anything, it's that he's late to the party in pointing out what a ridiculous post that was seeing as a bunch of others already did it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTONIUS Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 In the end of the day. We are hoping for music written late 90s to early 00s. That sucks. These goofs should just release their old CD stuff and write a new fukn album together. Money is coming from the tour anyway so at least keep the hardcore fan base happy. And fuck, go get that 2 weeks of radio play. Better than only classic rock stations. You never know the one random song that just might grab mainstream attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 It takes like two months for a new release to be manufactured and shipped to record stores, right? So if we don’t hear official news about this by the end of this month, then it’s not happening this year, or this decade for that matter (unless you count Locked N’ Loaded from last year). I guess there’s also the option that the band wants to pull a Beyoncé and drop something by surprise online any day before the end of the year (with the physical release to then follow sometime early next year). That doesn’t seem like something GnR would wanna do, tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think that IF we're going to get any sort of release, they will do the Beyonce thing with a surprise streaming release, followed by a physical version later. I remain (unfortunately) convinced that absolutely nothing new is coming from GNR this year, but IF something comes, I assume that's how it'll happen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the expectations of a GNR album with Axl and Slash are quite high. By dropping a surprise album or songs online would alleviate those expectations a bit. Additionally everything is online anyway. Edited September 2, 2019 by Draguns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rovim Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Better face it: we're not going to get an official release anytime soon. I believe Axl, Slash, and Duff are going to try but anyone who thinks they're gonna do it in 2020 or in 2021 is delusional or just ignorant with all due respect to ignorant people.
