ferma Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) I think there’s enough evidence out there they were writing and recording new music with the hopes of releasing a new album and touring behind it. Then the pandemic hit and nobody is able to tour. Plenty of bands since the pandemic hit have straight up said they do not want to release new material and not be able to go out on tour to support it. Vaccines are finally being produced and distributed (my Dad, a senior, and my cousin, a first year resident, received theirs already.) It is not unreasonable to think bands will be able to start touring 4th quarter and release new music, including Guns. Leave it at that.

Which bands have said they don't want to release new material if they can't tour? Off the top of my head I can't think of one. All I can think of are bands that have. So....when the tour picks up (probably on November) a new album will appear? Clocks ticking then. Because if it doesn't.....well, what will the excuse be then?

ZoSoRose Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 There will never be another Guns N' Roses record again. Just like there will never be another Aerosmith, KISS, Motley Crue, Queen, Fleetwood Mac,etc record again Old, legacy bands who seek to just sell tickets until they retire or die 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't rule out Aerosmith, or even Queen to be honest. I guess the big difference though is that none of these acts suggest they are doing one, and all have extensive back catalogues. Plus Aerosmith and Kiss are retiring! (Well, as far as 'retiring' goes with these sorts of bands!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePreacher Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 I suppose Megadeth will also release their new album as soon as there is info about "safe touring" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems they wanted to do something with GN'R passports, where one could go to multiple concerts and get an attendance marked off. My guess is the two were probably intended to be connected, and i wouldn't be surprised if the goal was simply to siphon more money from fans who traveled to numerous concerts on a tour leg. Like everything else in GN'R though, they execute half-baked plans and GNAir was no exception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to have read that! I always used to like the idea of trying to explain to someone why you were wearing a flight badge for an airline that didn't exist, whose title was loosely based on a play on words around a rock band. Absolutely inexplicable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea was that you could get it 'stamped' during Paradise City I believe! So, not only would you stand no chance of getting it stamped unless you were on the front row, you'd also have to spend the whole song flapping it around trying to get the attention of someone to do it! That whole scenario is mad too. I wonder if anyone, anywhere ever got one stamped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All things considered though (cause I cannot resist pulling out a Slash-ism lol) there was plenty of evidence Axl was writing and recording new music with the hopes of releasing a new album and touring behind it as early as the late-90's and it took until 2008 for anything to actually come out From my perspective all COVID did was give GNR an easier excuse than any they would've had to have thought of otherwise to explain why they aren't releasing anything Edited February 11, 2021 by WhazUp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were delayed by just a couple of weeks. They're all out now. Both Megadeth and Mastodon spent 2020 recording their albums, so in no way have "not released a new album because they can't tour". So who are all these bands that aren't releasing stuff because they can't tour? But hey, by your reckoning we've only got a few months left before the GNR album arrives! Can't wait for November! New album time, when the tour starts! Awesome! Edited February 11, 2021 by allwaystired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
