DTJ80 Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 A shame about EVH. Which is why GNR need to stop fucking about and release stuff before someone is ‘knocking on heavens door’. I know @HollyWoodRose84 has been firm in his assertion that the album is done based on his connections. Which points towards ‘record company politics’ as being the issue....I can’t see how the thing is done and just sitting there.....(let’s not talk about CD...). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going to be honest here (and I’ve always been). I don’t have “connections.” I’m in the fashion business. I run in the same circles as all of the designers who help Guns with their stage and everyday wear. I’ve been with every current member except Axl. You’d be surprised just how connected everyone is to Guns directly. People talk. I take notes. It’s a close community. I’m not here to disrespect the progress the band has made. It’s a known fact that Guns is a business. Releasing new music and pleasing fans has been second to distant third regards to the business entity. I was talking to someone earlier and I said I really can’t wait for the new music to drop and he said “Yeah but are you really?” Like pretty much saying the band has already solidified their status with their original catalog. Anything new that comes out may sell well commercially but it’s not going to be “classic.” If Chinese had Slash on it, it would have been a huge success. It’s a joke album by most in the industry because he didn’t play on it. This album will be awesome because of Slash, not because the songs are “great.” Same goes for AC/DC releasing the same album 17 times. It’s timeless because it’s Angus and Brian. Not because the majority of the songs on each album are great. Hope this clears everything up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if new music and pleasing fans a second to distant third in regards to the business......what's making you think things have changed? How do you mean 'help them with their stage and everyday wear'? They have stylists for the clothes they wear onstage and in their personal life sort of thing? If so, that's quite a revelation to me really. I always assumed they just wore whatever they were comfortable in onstage and everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the album gets released, I'll be looking forward to it. As we saw today with Eddie Van Halen, you have to enjoy life while you can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something, please.... And new song is out on Wednesday. 3 hours ago, HollyWoodRose84 said: Meh, I’m going to again comment and say the “album” is already “finished.” This is business as usual. There were numerous hints that the intention was to drop it this year. Slash is never going to publicly state it finished until they have an actual plan in place to release it. Remember the whole reunion denial saga? Guns does whatever they want to. It’s not about the fans. It never has been and everybody needs to come to terms with that. That's what I think too. 40 minutes ago, HollyWoodRose84 said: I’m going to be honest here (and I’ve always been). I don’t have “connections.” I’m in the fashion business.

I remember you saying in you heard stuff (something to do with Stings multi-million pad in NY or something....) so it was business connections!! Apologies. 👍 Still - very cool info and if you have been close to most of the band and have heard positive things (re new music) then that’s good enough for me. I know people in general think that ‘veteran’ bands can’t churn out stuff that can stand beside their best work (usually some 20+ years ago) but there are examples where it CAN happen - MetallicAs Hardwired, Rush’s Clockwork Angels are two which spring to mind. So I’d hope whoever you spoke to would be a bit more optimistic - Axl and Slash are not any old combo....there is a reason we are all here and fans of the group and it’s largely based on those two (not forgetting Izzy but not really applicable here unfortunately seeing as he is MIA).

I do remember some of the shirts axl was wearing on stage was from certain designers he had on the tour. I think that was for the shirts, jeans and the table cloth he used to wear around his waist. Jewellry i think to. But the cowboy boots i thought were definetly his choice. Edited October 7, 2020 by Sydney Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash pretty much just wears t-shirt and jeans really, so it seems mad to me they'd take a designer on tour. I always just assumed they wore whatever they liked- there never seemed anything flashy going on, just a selection of fairly casual clothing!

On his Axl Rose obsession: Every collection I design has a little bit of Axl Rose; I sneak it in somewhere, because when i was younger these guys were larger than life to me. When they reunited in 2016, his team reached out and said that somehow Axl saw a bit of this brand and he really loved it and was wondering if I'd like to help style a couple pieces. I ended up styling his entire look for the entire tour, head to toe Amiri. I got to meet him and talk to him a few times about Hollywood and growing up in L.A. and his origins of style. Then we did a Guns N' Roses collab last year in partnership with Maxfield [and Universal Music Group’s music merch company Bravado]. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/la-designer-mike-amiri-is-inspired-by-axl-rose-lost-boys-rock-n-roll-1116045 On the same subject: Velvet Revolver had worked with John Varvatos: NITL Slash wearing a custom-made shirt by Jimmy Webb's brand: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see why he would want a new album to help promote a stale tour. but it's not happening. sign an exclusive deal with Spotify and take what you can get. you have made enough money, but I guess half a billion dollars doesnt go as far as it used to. Obviously this is about b(r)and finances and not about returning the favor for all of those who remained GNR fans over the last few decades.
