CD boxset could/should have been out around 2013/14, but now it's not the time. People - me among them - want new music with Slash, obviously. Sure, I'd love to hear CD II or whatever some day, but logically, this would be a stupid move in the present era. I agree 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A little red hand or grenade flash drive full of tracks. Despite the fact I'd love to hear this.....$1000 for 3cds worth of material and some tat?! Come on! 3 discs of Chinese era stuff at a $40 tag, ok! Look at what other bands offer and what they charge for it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DurhamGirl 451 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 I would pay $1000 for something ANYTHING!! But after years of nothing, well its not looking good... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sydney Fan 1,963 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 As a guess maybe the band have no interest in releasing the CD songs as is, because it would be easy to use those songs as a basis for new material. Will be interesting if they use what we heard as part of the village leaks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There that’s my offer - take my money Axl! 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nostalgia, and my understanding is vinyl offers the best sound quality experience on proper equipment. I don't even have a vinyl player, but have collected a few over the years, it is cool having the big artwork, etc. I like cassettes for a practical reason, my 1999 Mercedes-Benz only has a tape player. But, people still enjoy collecting these regardless on if they have a player or not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's unfortunate something like that will never be created ... A future lenght movie would be way to short to capture all the drama.

I get it, and it's a format I do play at home, but personally I'd always prefer CD over vinyl. Vinyl records I've had a while have degraded, as they do with every play, and I want my music to last as long as possible. I also think that CD sound quality is far better (but I understand that will open up a whole can of worms!) Vinyl has become a fashion accessory at present it seems but I'm sure the fad will pass at some point. i'd love to see the ratio of 'vinyl bought' to 'vinyl played'! I don't see any point in buying music unless i'm going to play the thing! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

t-p-d-a 1,430 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Reckless Road would be a good movie. A movie about Creating Appetite For Destruction. From the early days in 1985 (Welcome To The Jungle) until the New Jersey Show in 1988 with Aerosmith. Closing the movie with Paradise City. It needs a film structure like Bohemian Rhapsody.

I thought the structure of Bohemian Rhapsody was atrocious. The fact that they tried to make it look like Mercury’s life revolved entirely around that 1985 Live Aid performance was so fuckin stupid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Get a decent system and a good sounding pressing of an album and it really doesn't sound any better.. Sometimes I will take an edible grab a beer and just sit there listening to a whole album front to back the way it was intended. No skipping through songs.

Sweersa 558 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Assuming GN'R has a new album recorded and mixed, how long would it take them from that point to master, and get it distributed if they actually intended on a release? I suppose this is a general question for any album, though GN'R of course never goes with the usual flow of things. Assume all things being equal. Would it even be possible for them to get an album out before the end of 2020 from this point? I can imagine an online release, but I'd imagine a physical release to take longer for obvious reasons.

Not to be a jerk but speculation at this point is just unwarranted and foolish. The band is a joke and a cash grab. Not even an integral cash grab releasing anything remotely new and exciting. We are the least luckiest fan base in rock. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Axl reckons it takes 6 weeks for all of that, so it would be possible, if it was recorded, mixed, and they had already agreed on marketing. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
