If anything, all artists (not just GnR) should be constantly trying to adjust with age. As Axl and co reach their 70s they should tune down another key, go full acoustic, slow the tempos down, etc. oh and maybe stop dressing like they’re still 20. It’s starting to look like a costume at this point lol. Easy there compadre, we're abusing the fast forward button a bit. They're still only in their 50s.😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna see Axl walk on stage with an old man’s four-legged walker and sing Out Ta Get Me Acousticly and two keys down and at half the tempo! EDIT: I just realized, once they get to an age where they HAVE to slow the songs down, frank’s playing should get better again... right? 14 minutes ago, Gibson_Guy87 said: I don't know man, Slash still pulls off the rocker style pretty well.

AxlRoseCDII Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Actually think this interview is pretty valid. Reaffirmed new Guns songs are being worked on and there’s a possibility something different will be played coming up. Not bad in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will be a relief.... tryin to maintein that image should be a little exhausting. --- Good to hear GNR news finally!!! yeah. Wating for Lolla Santiago Chile! With no expectations. No Illusions. Nothing. If theyll do the same shit again, ok. Do the same shit. If you put SCARFACE Intro with video and do some new songs and some "UYI deeptracks" and Axl became a skinny fit motherfucker would be perfect.

STPGNR4EVER Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) I think it's awful that even if they are working on an album .everyone knows it'll take forever and especially if they release singles awhile than ultimately the album..imagine all the tours etc that'll be even more time voided on working on an album and so on. It makes no sense...all those other songs worked on for years with Buckethead and other members are just going to mostly never get released it seems, sure maybe a few with Slash etc. but that is ridiculous ! No other band takes a million years like this to release stuff in a normal way..it is very frustrating! I'd like to hear the tons of songs we've never heard yet but are near complete..why can't they get all those finished plus a new album...why let all that work go for nothing?? Anyone disagree? Who agrees? Edited September 10, 2019 by STPGNR4EVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think should happen is Axl should release a limited edition "Chinese Democracy Era" boxset with all the finished Chinese recordings, get all of it so hardcore fans can have the boxset but limited so they don't have to worry about selling a ton of them to make a profit - and they can offer a digital downloadable version as well That way, the Chinese stuff is out there and Slash and co. can release their stuff and work from a fresh, clean slate or maybe with a couple of those Chinese songs to rework.

Ithought with the record contract the band have with UMG, that its still a 90s type contract that i thought they would be still old school. In other words all singles off the album , release a single with album dropping x amount of weeks later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I think this sounds promising. I don't think Slash would bullshut us about new material. As recent as last year, when asked about this subject, he pulled no punches and was very honest, basically saying they hadn't done squat. With each subsequent interview, he sounds more promising, as if things are indeed moving forward steadily. With the current batch of leaks, I hope Axl finally puts the CD era to bed and works on a full new album, written with the current band. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 The obsession of you guys with GNR tracks included in each new T movie is hilarious... As for the leaks and Trunk knowing about them or not – I think maybe he’d been in the loop, but they agreed not to mention it in the interview, because that would bring it to the attention of the music mass media; whereas this way, it’s been just a fan forum matter more or less so far.

Guest Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 9 hours ago, rocknroll41 said: I’d honestly be ok with that. A series of singles compiled into a new album further down the road, like what RHCP did with I’m Beside You throughout 2013. EDIT: wait I just remembered; didn’t Bumblefoot suggest this idea back in 2013 and TB rejected it? yeah I think he did. Think his idea was to drop a song as month then put the album out after or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that many people outside of a few hardcore ones from this forum really care about the unreleased CD stuff. Most GNR fans want new stuff with Slash. I don't think it would be a smart idea to release something like that at all, the smart thing would be to keep all the lyrics he has written already and use them on new songs the band should be writing. That way he didn't waste all those lyrics on a couple recordings only few people really care about in the end. Axls a good lyricist and he really had something to prove/say in the CD era so why waste those lyrics for those recordings when he can use them to make a great new album Edited September 10, 2019 by StrangerInThisTown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethalis Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) 22 minutes ago, WhazUp said: I think simply a GNR album with more Slash input on the songs rather than going "here lay guitar on these old tracks" would sound better and more badass to me just based on what I know from them. I am more interested in what they can come up with now rather than Axl trying to retool what he tried to do over 20 years ago on some of these songs Can you really expect these almost 60 year olds to release something new? These people peaked in the early 90's. It's over now. At least Slash and Duff (even Izzy) stayed productive all these years and had a good career. Snakepit was good, Velvet Revolver was great. Slash's solo stuff is ok. Duff's Loaded has its moments. And Izzy released a ton of albums, most of them are a bit average, but if you would take the best songs of each album and combine them it becomes impressive compared to Chinese Democracy. A laid back Izzy ballad like Sweet Caress just feels so natural compared to everything on Chinese it's ridiculous. What more can they do? Expectations are way too high now. We're all setting ourselves up for disappointment. Edited September 10, 2019 by Lethalis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl wrote the lyrics to Locomotive to the finished music, but I believe the lyrics would be great in any song regardless. Like here for example, this guy covered the song in a completely different style and the lyrics still 'fit'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold top 78 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I actually thought it was a decent interview. Slash managed to shoot down the rumours of the terminator single and an EP and as for album talk I think it’s good they’re recording when they’re all in LA at the same time. Given Slash has been on the road with SMKC and Duff has been touring as well then I don’t think there’s much more that can be said at this point. This interview has renewed my optimism on a album coming out. I’m hoping the changes to the set list they’re looking at doing is going to be some UYI songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamillos Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I just hope when they go do those spring 2020 shows, there won't be "NITL" in the title or in any association with it and there will be at least one new song, let's say a single. That's all I'm asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Also posts a homeage to the other players involved and cleans the slate so to speak with the current lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
