Hope that happens soon. Same.. Zero interest in new music from this lineup and modern day Axl... I will check it out but could care less if it ever happens.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas19 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 I would prefer a new album, but think a UYI boxset release happening this year is more realistic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also wrote and produced entire albums for Chaka Khan, Larry Graham, Bria Valente and George Clinton. His estate has released more music since his death 5 years ago than GNR have put out in their entire career. No artist would win that comparasion with Prince. His output is second to none, quality- and quantity-wise 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19AT5 Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 All this talk of double albums is just mental! First point is they are rarely worth it, though there are of exceptions to the rule. Secondly GNR don't appear to release new music. Yet we've got folk talking about releasing a double album in an age where people don't buy CDs. So if, possibly rightly, GNR don't see today's streaming market as being all that profitable to release a single song, then it seems unlikely that a double album will be making its way to our ears any time soon! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Lars getting blamed (Fernando?) which turned out to be bullshit. Don’t see why they don’t just fire it up onto their VEVO/YouTube page. 🤷🏼♂️ THAT was the song to announce him/the new band to the world.....and it was handled terribly. By the time they wanted to release the video, two of the guitarists (Robin and Bucket) and a drummer (Brain) were out of the band. And then DJ was announced in March '09. The revolving door of musicians probably contributed to a whole bunch of things not getting released as they would have been "outdated". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the versions that leaked were anything close to the "finished" product I'm not too surprised it was never released... there's some cool shots but also some sloppy editing and the band member intros have a kinda cheesy reality-show type of vibe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGeneral Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I've been away from GNR for about 2 years now and I honestly don't plan on coming back full-time until they release something new. They're still my favorite, but nah. Enough of this catalogue. That being said, I feel the only way they can redeem themselves and make up for the past 30 years is another double-album. Release it the day UYI turns 30. Sounds shitty, like they owe me/us something, but I don't know. 30 new songs, exactly 30 years after UYI. I'd be in 7th Heaven - and I don't mean that show about the preaching family. Like, I want to feel this band again. The way I felt when Power Up! was released and I bought it the day of. Listened to it on the drive home. It was such a great feeling. Now imagine that with a new GNR album. Ugh. I hate this band 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyPrettyTiedUpMichelle Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Will someone tell me what's happening with this band? I don't want to read through 300+ pages to find out that nothing is happening. Howdy all. I've been away for a while dealing with life and lockdowns and various other. Dropping by to catch up on news...if any. Believe it or not, I missed my time here! Some good people. Are those crazy loons still here, Diesel Daisy and Len Cnut and SoulMonster and the like? Do Soulmonster and Diesel Daisy still endure a turbulent bromance? Is MillionsofSpiders sill around and all the brilliant women from the Women's Thread? Hello to you all if you are! Is it as eerily quiet in here as it out in the real world... There is no new album...is there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draguns Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) This is why I kept mentioning that Hard School was probably written by the classic lineup and not Nu-GNR. It has that typical structure to a classic GNR song. Edited February 4, 2021 by Draguns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 If Hard School was written in the Slash and Duff era, were the lyrics too? Cause that would end my long standing theory of the lyrics to the song being about Slash after the breakup fallout. Then again that would be a savage move for Axl to write a song about Slash, with Slash still in the band, and then make him play it 30 years later as the first reunion single 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamillos Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Even if he wrote the lyrics as early as in 1996, it would still match the about-Slash theory. It was already "applicable"... Edited February 5, 2021 by jamillos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Short, snappy and to the point is how music is consumed these days. There's a reason why the past 2 AC/DC albums have clocked in at the 40 minute mark! Double albums are a thing of the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say prepare two-albums' worth of material but release it with a 2-year gap and tour it correspondingly (successively). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
