"Many mutual friends"

I doubt axl has parties every saturday night, the guys a recluse and doesnt go anywhere. You dont see him getting photographed at a cafe in malibu or going for a run on the beach. He has no industry friends, doesnt calaborate with other artists, has no movie executive related friends so im keen to know what sort of "mutual friends" they have.....

I am interested in wondering how much axls place would go for, considering how much he bought it in 92. 

How do you know who Axl is and isn't friends with though? Judging by the pics we've seen, he's hung out with loads of famous people Mickey Rourke, Steven tyler, Lana del ray, Leonardo DiCaprio... loads of stories, he just doesn't go out of his way to be photographed.

But yeah, anyone that talks that much and then offers extremely vague answers like what she said, is usually full of it... who knows may r she is close with Axl though... I mean he did have a spiritual advisor, so a whacky Monica type sounds reasonable😄

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but at 8:28 Slash is saying he's been busy writing "original Guns N Roses music" 

 

Absolutely meaningless until we hear something from Axl himself or the band's social media officially confirming new music is on the way.

[rumandraisin 176]

Meaningless. What difference is this to Fortus saying the same thing since 2009?  I've said it year after year, we may get a song released one day on a soundtrack but certainly no album before 2023 at the earliest.

Can feel yet more delay on new GNR album :p

There is no GNR,  only ZUUL.

Now I get why fartus has such a long nose. He's been lying for years now about new music.

4tus has a completely different position in the band than Slash.

Meaning, whatever Fortus has said has less significance that when Slash says it. 4tus, as much as I like him and think he's cool, is a hired hand. Slash is one of the main pillars, ergo his words are of importance. I was just reacting to some of the posts above.

How ridiculous if Slash manages to release TWO studio albums after the GNR reunion. It just really shows how either nothing is happening, or Axl is really insecure about his music

Can't really get excited for new SMKC at this point. As much as I like SMKC, we all know what their new album will sound like, like all before them, and I think LTD was downhill from AL and WOF, so who knows if it would even measure up. I think it really is Slashs "side" thing now since the reunion where he doesn't put in his best ideas, just something that will be like "fuck it this'll do", just to tour. GNR album is way more interesting in what it would be and where Slash puts in the work, and then it will just never come out due to Axl taking ages chasing some "masterpiece" album he will never achieve or be happy with.

Slash keeps so busy he will be doing both - and we literally have no idea how much is in the can for the GNR album. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Quite possible. Or that someone has said 'have you heard GNR are releasing their new album and it's going to be good'. 

Given the CD leaks, and the reaction the band to those happening, if (big if) there is any new material it would be incredibly unlikely that it's being played to anyone, let alone friends of friends of someone who might once have lived in the same area. 

If, in some bizarre world, it is being heard to that extent then it's probably very close to leaking I would say. 

The most likely scenario though is that like most people who tell us about 'inside information',  'Malibu Monica' is speaking out of her arse. 

I suspect Monica heard some of the selects from the "village locker" leaks and assumed those songs were from the new album, which they very well may be (probably not in the form from 2000 though, of course)

Well Slash is coming out with new music.Album with Myles Kennedy to be released in 2021

[Gimpy Hewitt 303]

We’re never going to get new music

[ShadowOfTheWave 804]

Was just watching videos from Osaka 2009 and realized how surreal it is Axl hasn't debuted a single new track in 11 years. What the fucking fuck.

Sad but kind of hard to think of anything different .Theyve shown us who they are over the last 30 years content to play songs that they recorded in a very short heyday and never evolve.To me maybe they’re just artistically bankrupt as a unit without Izzy in the studio .And to me CD was an Axl solo album,I know people strongly disagree but I’m entitled to my opinion as well

[gavgnr 361]

So slash can release music with SKMC but not guns. Kinda provides where the problem lies, but I guess we already knew that 😏

[jamillos 1,895]

Thing is, we still don't know what this means in terms of GNR. Has Slash already finished his part for the album? Or is it just somewhere halfway, partially finished and the rest on halt, waiting for the output of others? It could be anything really. 

[gavgnr 361]

If the rumours are to be believed, the albums been done a while. Personally, I think that when slash says he’s been working in original guns stuff he’s talking about possible new songs to bump off others already on the list for release. Maybe he’s just been trying to persuade axl to put some newer stuff on the record when in reality the bulk of the record is made up of older ‘new gnr’ songs with slash and duff overdubs. Even if true, none of this helps us out with an idea of when any of this stuff might eventually see the light of day.

[GoForJMark 701]

I just wanna say fuck todd kerns. Don't know why but it feels right saying it. Also fuck axl. 

[DurhamGirl 451]

Maybe Axl is just tired of it all, it happens to many people reaching retirement age, they spend a lifetime giving their all and get to a stage where there is nothing left.  Nobody to blame it is just the way it is.  With the pandemic and its consequences he may decide to to retire.

I listened to the Let There Be Talk podcast last night with Brian and Angus. The host before interviewing them mentioned he’d signed an NDA and listened to the new AC/DC album in full - 7 months ago. It’s very possible Guns did expect to drop an album in the 6 month time frame that Fermanager originally stated and has been put on hold until they can support it, but that in itself would present another hurdle with the uncertainty of concerts going ahead in the new year.

Wow - 7 months ago?? I suppose it does give a small bit of hope that it’s true the album is done and the comments from Slash about ‘working out how to release this thing’ are related to marketing strategy. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Crazy, right? They had planned on dropping it not long after the fella listened to it and were due to appear on his podcast back then, but with the pandemic, everything got pushed back. Slash's comments, along with everyone else, completely baffle me, however, facts are facts and we do know that they have been at least working on something and the comments that Susan made are the saving grace of it all. Chinese Democracy didn't get the release that the album deserved, I just hope that they get it right this time around.
