I always remember that Swedish interview that Slash did back in 2015 where the interviewer asked him, completely out of the blue, “I heard you made amends with Axl Rose”  

That was staged as fuck, there were no rumors here or anywhere at the moment. It was quite obvious that it was done to start the hype/rumor shitstorm.

Staged or not, that was amazin to hear. Im still have that interview in my vault.

Are we living an alternative reality of early ‘00s?

I think Ive heard that before and at the time, we also had a new Coronavirus circulating (Sars)

I had my hopes up for a fall release but then I remembered it'll be flu season.  2021 it is...

[WhazUp 4,066]

Maybe Susan should be GNR's PR person lol I certainly got more info from a 2 minute section of an interview with her than anyone else in GNR land and she seems to have a really positive and energetic vibe about everything.  She seems really chill as a person based on what I have seen

 

I remember when Duff posted a video of her dancing during a soundcheck of I think Estranged, and it was fun seeing her excited about everything like a fan

Fernando will be jealous about take out  him of the thread, and now put to Susan....

[Joraz 65]

I mean let’s be honest its been confirmed in the same capacity many times the issue is nobody is willing to say when or even a rough as guts timeline it sucks mega. I wonder if any 2016-2020 leaks of work has surfaced? We all knew a new album was planned when Hardschool was added to the setlist.

[NicoGNR5 93]

Say anything that you want but, you gotta love Susan.

[AxlRoseCDII 3,909]

Really makes you wonder if something was planned this year. Huge bummer if the one year out of the last 12 we could’ve potentially gotten a new album had to be postponed due to a pandemic. What are the odds?

Maybe. Not that we ever get real information from the camp. Remember this gem from The Beta?

'The album was completed before Christmas,' [Beta] says, 'but everyone knows that...'"  (Classic Rock, 02/08)

Everyone knows that, except the public and the fans, who might want to know... Still, I hope SHM isn't just saying stuff, and that something is/was in motion.

She said she was given the okay to say as much, but not more details.

Maybe that means an announcement is imminent?

Or like the fan in Atlanta who ran into Axl before the AC/DC audition and then Axl told him they were going to be doing a whole tour.

What is the exact quote?

 

[marinergtfc 109]

Susan: new gn’r album coming.

fernando: mummy, I want to play with my new toy trucks.

 

pretty much,  in a nutshell.

On the flip side Mozart hasn't released any new music since the 18th century so it's all relative.

He has actually,

Gotta love Susan, even if this isn't exactly news. We've known that they're working on music. It's just a question of when it'll be released.

I wished, it would be that easy! At first they have to figure out "HOW"! 😄

[ThePreacher 214]

Kinda misleading?

 

She said they are working on something but didn't confirm an whole album?

You could get it out for November/December, take advantage of the Christmas market with some good looking physical packages, use the rescheduled SA tour to promote it, then continue the promotion into 2021. 

i can't believe I've just typed that.....it suggests I actually believe something might be coming! 

The IPA has gone to your head! 

Imagine yet another dry year. One little hitch and it'll be put back to 2022

Sad but true.

Her and Meegan are unironically the best thing to happen to GNR since 1993. I've said it before but they should be in charge of GNR's social media.

People gave Perla flak saying she was a major blocker to the reunion (and she no doubt was) but Beta and TB were/are just as bad.

Now that Susan has shed some light on progress it'll be interesting to see what comes next.

[Stress Fracture 909]

When you’re from their era the current situation does present issues with releasing an album this year. No tour, limited scope for videos and traditional promotion, Axl not being able to do those record store signing sessions and meet and greets with the fans which I’m sure he’d be looking forward to(!).

But it’s also a time when new music will make up for the lack of touring. Any major artist who releases an album this year will get plenty of attention.

this interview has already taken place?

Where are those guys who said there was no album, nothing was going on and all those signs (Slash's recording at Axl's, Hardschool in the setlist, Duff's interviews...) didn't mean anything?

I mean, of course they were/are working on something, like Susan said. And we all know too well to still try to not get our hopes up because the release was always the problem. But I don't think it's a coincidence that she and Fernando said kinda the same thing at the same time.
