denin Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Who might inherit Axl's stake in Guns? That person would likely orchestrate a posthumous release or three further down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My default answer is "within 5 years, but not this year". So it's a sliding window with a peak in probability 2-3 years down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we've already passed the absolute latest, but theses assholes keep kicking the ball down the road. 2023 would be 15yrs between records, I mean not even Axl can spin that "record labels..." yeah blah, blah Axl the poor multi-millionaire rockstar that's being oppressed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic if we're going there is Oct 2021 single + Video, December album release... I'd almost say they should scrap any plans of new music if they waited until then, you have to at least be able to perform the new music you release🤣 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live Like a Suicide Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think we may hear 'new' music this year (e.g. Hardschool performed live), but i don't think there will be an album until a wider world tour is possible (possibly next year with Europe or the year after).

Sweersa Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 More leaks (3 or more songs with vocals) are more likely in the next 12 months than a new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweersa Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 If by some miracle CD2 was released by 2014 by old-new-guns, do you think we would have an actual new album by 2030? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if they did play a song on this tour that would be something and at least a sign of life. As for the EU tour, I mean they'll have another excuse cooked up by the time that comes along. Having said that while it's unusual to start an album cycle in NZ/Oz there's no reason they couldn't kick it off there, they could hit Japan and all the other asian territories while they're around there, take a small break and get ready again for the EU leg and festivals. America is obviously the optimum place to do it, but given GNRs stance on promoting things what difference does it make if they start down under?

Well, we wouldn't be looking at the reunion tour and all of this, but I'd guess that it would have been the final GNR album... regardless of it being loved or hated. I really doubt GNR is going to be around in 2030 to fulfil that dream of more music. I find it hard to imagine Axl at 68 singing any of the GNR songs considering how hard he's struggling at in his late 50s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19AT5 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 To answer my own question, if there's nothing forthcoming this year in terms of either a song performed live or released as a single, or some form of proper confirmation that an album exists, then I don't see it ever happening. Realistically they are past their peak now, and as we've seen from many many many other nostalgia rock bands, it's all too easy to ride that donkey into oblivion! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway we're basically fantasy booking here🤣 It's constant kicking down the road - when nothing happens around the US tour, it's 'oh it will happen in Europe'. When that doesn't happen it will be 'well, they're waiting to do a full world tour, these were clearly just inbetween shows' and so it goes on. And on. Each new leg people assume the new album is coming. When it doesn't they just move on to waiting for the next leg. Eventually they get drained, drop off the cycle of expectation and take the stance that there actually isn't a new album. I'm quite amazed anyone is still on the cycle of expectation really. It's a definite testament to either human resilience or human naivety, depending on how generous you're being! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trin9498 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 There will not be a new album. There’s not even chatter about it. 13 years since CD. They’re done. They probably don’t even talk. Show up, play, collect a check. They’re not a band….they’re an act. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Since we know they wanted the next album to be in '09 or the following year, per Axl in the chats and a handful of other sources) We would have heard something by now, if a new album was happening later this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DurhamGirl Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 There is no new album/music, for years folk have been making up stories as to how and when new music will be released (look in the archives). What we are getting now is it, maybe another tour after this and then it will be goodbye. No criticism here just observation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Wow it’s been a long time since I posted here and things haven’t changed at all. At this point, I have no hope or expectations for a new GnR album and, honesty, I think there’s a very slim chance any new music made by this reunion line-up could be any good. Not a fan of anything Slash has released since Contraband, with the exceptions of a few songs like By The Sword, Anastasia, Shots Fired and Not For Me. Chinese Democracy, on the other hand, hasn’t aged well for me, with the top tier songs such as TWAT, CITR and Prostitute still remaining as some of my all time favorite GnR songs but the others faded into tracks I usually skip when they accidentally come on. The rest of the band, including Duff, don’t really have solid songwriting abilities so.. yeah. Low expectations. They seem to have become this weird caricature of themselves with Axl posting every single message replacing “and” with “N’”, Slash turning into some kind of Gene Simmons figure and Team Brazil posting corny shit like the neon “we’re fkn back!” Stuff. Sorry guys, just blowing off steam. I mean.. couldn’t they have released a damn single by now? And I see people saying Axl doesn’t wanna disrespect Iron Maiden… guys… for Christ’s Sake. Since GnR’s last album, Iron Maiden has released 2 albums has announced a third one, with Bruce treating cancer in the midst of all this and six live albums, including a movie. Do you really think Iron Maiden would give a shit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
