It's just 2003 - 2005 all over again. We've had so many fakes, it's kind of unbelievable. 

I'd argue probably that the 'weirdness' has even ramped up a bit since those days...which really is saying something!

Welcome to MYGNR 

[Alejandro GNR 408]

I hope Perhaps and SoG make the album if an album ever happens...I THINK they are top 5 Axl’s GnR for sure.

I'm pretty confident Perhaps will make an official release eventually. It was at least considered for CD2 based on the 2008 list.

As for State of Grace, I really hope it does too. Except for needing a guitar solo, the instrumental is solid. I think it could use some fresh vocals, though I like the latter half of Axl's vocals on it. The first half sounds like scratch vocals, but maybe would work with a little better mixing and some studio tweaking. 

The outro to SoG would be a nice album closer, those high piercing Axl vocals adding icing to the cake. The intro to SoG reminds me of the classic DOOM video games music. In one of the village leaks instrumentals you can hear some door open and close sound effects from those games too, so perhaps they provided some inspiration.

As for album openers, Hardschool has a long enough intro for that, Zodiac's false piano intro is a fun tease too.  Both tracks are solid and catchy, assuming Zodiac has decent or better vocals. The General very well may take 1st place though based on them using part of it to open some concerts. The latter may be too intense for an opener though, based on the bit of vocals we have heard, it sounds pretty crazy.

Don't forget three solo albums and four EPs from Noel Gallagher, two Beady Eye albums, and two Liam Gallagher solo albums (four if you count the Acoustic Sessions release and the upcoming MTV Unplugged) since Chinese Democracy released.

But then shouldn't we count releases by Velvet Revolver, Slash, Duff, Bumblefoot, Sorum, Stinson, Dizzy... ?

Very cool, will be interesting to see what was said exactly in the interview when it's revealed later. 

Probably will go something like a new album was planned for 2025, but due to covid-19 having an impact on touring/promotion, they will delay it to 2028.

Susan is our only real source of info lol.

She "leaked" the news of the reunion, and the recent US tour dates, on her instagram.

Fernando's word means nothing at this point... but if Duff's wife says something is happening, then it's happening. (How sad is that?)

I said it before, I won't believe in a new album until the band spokeswoman Susan Holmes McKagan confirms it... And now there we have it, time to celebrate (alone in my room of course) 

[shotsfired cro 575]

Yeah, maybe Duff's another half pathetic effort or Loaded

Axl's Cleaning lady

[GNRfanJen 1,054]

Now that Susan-Holmes McKagan has confirmed a new album, we can remove all doubt whether it actually exists or not. It took us 182 pages, but we're finally making headway.

Sadly, nothing nothing post Do you know what I mean was at least listenable.  Total waste of resoureces it was recorded on.  IMO. No diss on the fans intended.

 

...granted, any of them was probably way better than CD...

Wow, well finally some seemingly fantastic news! 

Looking forward to the interview.

We’re out of reliable sources. At this point, the only source I trust is Axl. The only person capable of stopping it all or make it happen. 
 

if they were to release a mixed album (CD era tracks + new tracks) I hope they include Atlas, Perhaps, State of Grace, Quick Song (melody is nice, not a hit but not a filler), HardSkool and maybe an AC/DC cover would be nice too. That’s 5/6 good songs plus the new material (I’m assuming something including axl and slash can’t be bad as scraped)

BTW I found this yesterday, any guess of what ‘hey you’ is?

We got there. Maybe one of Duff's daughters can give us the rearranged tour dates

[Kranich 113]

Maybe the reason for not releasing another album after Chinese was that there was not Susan and Axl just didnt know how to announce it

Here's the interview with Susan:

 

 

I'm sure it will get its own thread at some point but since it's relevant to this thread, I'll post it here.
