How many times do you want to go and see the same songs played the same way, year in, year out? In the words of Prince "heavy rotation never made my world go round." I think hardcore fans who don't want new music or say as much are just skeptical about this incarnation the band's capacity to do it right. Obviously on an individual level they're all immensely talented and capable... but the weird state of the GNR corporate entity is getting in the way. Like, are you going to get in there as a unit, find your musical voice as a unit, and record a fucking album? Or are you going to piece it together from disparate scraps, use previously recorded parts and Frankenstein the whole thing and not really commit to it? Dump it in between nostalgia tour legs to tick a box and make new branded laundry bags? Get a producer, book some studio time and record an album. Don't give yourself an out. However it turned out, if it was recorded in that context, I think fans would be extremely charitable about the result and it would be a seriously good moment for the band. Otherwise...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 That's just what we need. Axl whining about politics over modern Slash's uninspired and bland riffs. I'll take the CD 2 Frankenstein monster any day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Consider how poor the music would be from someone so reluctant to make new music as Rose. He obviously doesn't want to release anything for whatever reason. If you stuck a gun to somebody's head and demanded that they write music, the material produced would be awful.

Well - if you listen to some, it’s pointless as it wont be as good as ‘the early stuff’ so a waste of time...... Note - I absolutely don’t agree with that. Gimme all the material!!!!

He said multiple times he would love to do it so maybe he just overthinks it, the problem is not necessarily about if he's interested. My guess is he's just not interested in releasing something he won't be proud of. To release just another album that won't do much and will just be pretty good is not his goal if I had to speculate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's basically playing the "cop's son" where he can do whatever the hell he wants in the GNR dojo, lie to and antagonize the fans that care the most, on top of the myriad of other irresponsible behaviors that have lead us to this end with zero repercussions.

Answer: More than however the fuck many Brazilians make up Team Brazil. Not a good joke, man! I'm Brazilian and I don't think they have the power to push Axl to release anything. Axl is the boss, they just take care and enable whatever Axl wants and when he wants to. Or do you forget that before TEAM BRAZIL, Axl wasn't releasing anything either. Also, I don't think you understand the role of a manager or of TB in a band or GNR. They are employees, they don't own shit regarding the band. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nick85 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Yikes. So, Brazilians do not have a sense of humor. I get that now. I'm sorry for the joke. I'm Italian, and if it makes you feel better, if he had a group of Italian slaves I don't think they'd fare much better.

Gibson87 Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 18 hours ago, RussTCB said: I sincerely doubt that any user on here would consider new GN'R music to be a matter of life and death. I know many people would love to hear new music, but I don't think the majority of people take it anywhere near as seriously as some are suggesting. Agreed. To be quite honest, it rarely bothers me these days. There's too much music out there to be fixating on one band not releasing a (likely) 20 year old record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is completely on GNR for their lack of ability to do anything of interest. The only reason I chime in on topics about lack of productivity is because that's the only thing GNR gives us to talk about. I spend 99.99% of my life musically focused on other artists who actually put out music for their fans to enjoy. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaskingApathy Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 On 3/2/2020 at 8:08 AM, Popcorn crew said: Weird part for me is that bands who covers GnR sound much more like GnR than GnR and put in much more energy in their performance than original 3+1. I agree, like when SMKC does GnR songs it sounds way more like classic GnR than the NITL lineup does. Part of that is because of the drummer but still. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
