MidnightToker 162 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 3 hours ago, MaskingApathy said: Idk they mentioned it here. https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/11/slash-ac-dc-new-album-great-record/ According to the article, the forthcoming interview with Slash is "about the new Guns N' Roses pinball machines and his new collection of custom Gibson guitars." At least they let us know ahead of time he won't talk about new GNR music. Maybe some new info on SMKC since (1) he is allowed to talk about it and (2) there is actually new music coming from that band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GNR_RNR 333 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Was listening to some bits N' pieces from ACDC discussing their new album. Angus was saying that covid had led to them releasing the album later than they wanted. Would make sense that IF guns intended to release an album they would be impacted too, and also their label would probably try to avoid ACDC as chart competition.

They haven't moved past "very seriously" talking about a new album. Gnr will likely tour in 2021 now that vaccines are being created, in the downtime Slash will be away with Myles... because Slash is away they won't be able to commit to the studio and 10 yrs from now there won't be a follow up record to CD. This band is basically over, outside of performing old tired material. I've sadly come to the same conclusion now, as it seems the only rational one at present. Maybe and hopefully I'll be proved wrong. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is the days of streaming and subscriptions, is avoiding other releases even a problem any more? Lots of albums have been delayed, many until next year, but it isn't like Guns needs an album to promote the tour. Fans will go anyway for nostalgia - which ironically, may be while we're not likely to see a new album. Would the average GNR gig goer want to see GNR if they ditched a bunch of classics for new stuff? I'm not sure they would. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nesret 194 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 This incredibly annoying and artificial "edgelord-mysticism" around this fucking band keeps on baffling me. Even for a 90s Norwegian Black Metal band this would have been way over the top. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamGirl 450 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Slash is so busy but not with GNR...I think we all know why, we hope for new music but KNOW in our hearts there is none. Sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sad. None of us really know one way or the other really. We can all speculate but none of us know. Based on Susan’s interview there is supposed to be new material (she said it was killer or something)....its probably more a case of IF it will see the light of day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Free Bird 2,052 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 (edited) Slash is always busy, regardless if they're working on a new GNR album or not. If there is one in the making, Slash's already finished work. He isn't the one tinkering months with his parts. As long as it's in Axl's hands, Slash will stay busy in the meantime. I'm not saying they'll release anything soon, but Slash's side projects aren't an indicator by any means. Edited November 21, 2020 by Free Bird 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Legendador 253 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Trying to guess (and wait for) when the next GNR record will be released is the same as trying to guess the exact date the world's gonna end: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events I'm bored, people...

I think while Axl probably wants it to do well, it's possible he's just interested in releasing an album that won't fuck up the catalog and won't be dated or just a new version of something that they already explored musically. 1 album in almost 30 years tells me Axl probably overthought it and waited for perfect conditions and it got too easy for him to delay and then the reunion happened and that was the priority. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, a band that can't even release a YouTube video that sounds good on time from a 4 year tour, can somehow secret release the most anticipated rock album of the year Not a peep from anyone that this is happening either! A band that 11 of the Chinese democracy final track list leaked in full before release. A band that just had 100 instrumentals and 9/10 fully vocaled songs leak last year. Yet for this, no leaks at all! Oh silly me, of course the mysterious track list A4 that gave us this bogus date. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think at this stage we're almost into conspiracy theory territory in terms of the new album existing. The same nutcases who decide against all evidence that the earth is flat, that Trump won the election, that the Holocaust was made up, that aliens made the pyramids, whatever other latest QANON rubbish they go in for, probably believe a new album is imminent, against all reasonable evidence!

jamillos 1,892 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 You guys still refuse to see the bigger picture. What we see here is incredibly long years without new music, crappy videos, and lame, incompetent management; plus us nutcases, discussing this shit daily on forums. But what the “what’s SCOM” casuals (and after all probably the band members themselves) see is a mega successful comeback tour that’s recently ended, deep cuts to please the hardcores, a new CD box set, some YT videos, always available merchandise, and subsequently a global interruption which is still going on, with people having other problems to think about than a band’s new album. Nobody gives a damn about our comparisons as to “other bands have released music this year, so why can't you”. Those guys have all the time in the world and no reason to rush anything, especially if they can’t tour it. You know how they love touring, right? It fucking sucks, but see the overall perspective. What we think has been an eternity is just a few months of understandable inactivity for others... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
