MaskingApathy Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 1 hour ago, Blackstar said: No, I'm sure Slash and Duff have recorded stuff. Slash said himself he was vague about new music (saying things like "we all want to do it," "we'll see" etc.) before 2019, because they hadn't done anything until then. But after 2019 they've done stuff, and I believe not just two songs. And if they're gonna use already recorded Axl vocals, it doesn't take much to put it together. It's not like they've been trying to make a full album from scratch like in 1994. Weird how none of it made sense back then but it does now when looking back.

True, in a live setting, but I believe the vocal track they will use for the upcoming release will use a UYI era vocal track. If they decide to include it that is. I don’t see why they wouldn’t though since they decided to release Silkworms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 To me that is confirmation that they were working on new stuff (as it was Abdurd already) and I hope they won't wait to long with their second single. But that doesn't mean a new album will be released in 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalavenger99 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 That idea about this new album turning out to be just a NITLT live compilation + 2 songs (that in reality sounds totally plausible) had me overthinking and very pissed for several minutes until I realized the obvious: So what were Slash, Duff and Richard, doing all these years when talking about a "New Guns record"? Adding missing notes for live butchered solos? re-recording some extra bass lines? for how many years? that "material" Axl showed them were just 2 songs? It took them like 3 years to figure out the chords for Hard School again or what? 😂 That's a relief if you think about it that way, now if they release both studio and live albums it'll be great for sure 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkLotus1111 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Imagine the tracklist being CD/cover album with "new stuff"... mygnr would explode 😂 Better (with Slosh) This I Love (with Slash) Chinese Democracy (with Slash) Hard Skool Absurd Atlas Shrugged Witcha Lineman The Seeker Slither Black Hole Sun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

betterman Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Jarmo is chiming in, but in a thread about Absurd - so its likely going to be a single release/EP first Physical release being worked on.Pressing vinyl just takes a bit longer due to the capacity at the pressing plants.../jarmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
betterman Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 So if this split single/EP/whatever you call it is being pressed at the moment, it may be the reason for delaying Hardschool and dropping Absurd first. So Hardschool will sell the product A full album may not come out before Europe dates 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Are we getting excited yet? The band has hinted at working on new music, we know Axl has had completed songs for a while, Susan has confirmed an album is in the works, Beta has confirmed an album in is the works, the band releases a new single, Fernando talked about pressing vinyls and seemed to confirm a second single is on the way. ARE WE GETTING EXCITED!?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the biggest, most obvious let's-grab-money and-they-fall-for-it milking of hardcore fans possible Mate, I'm only here for the re-recorded vinyl version of Knocking On Heaven's Door with vocals from Axl recorded in 1999. Not be confused with the other vocal takes he did in 1998 and 2000. Apparently (if rumours are to be believed)... Slash plays the G chord, Buckethead the D, Robin Finck the Am, Richard Fortus back on G, Bumblefoot on D, and Paul Tobias on C. DJ Ashba laid down a few chords in 2010, but Axl decided not to use them for this release as they are too advanced for GNR fans. Gary Sunshine's 1999 distorted chorus overdub remains. This is pretty exciting! 1 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNR know people will just buy this because that's all there is. So time to grab some additional cash selling this useless vinyl while they can until the new album comes out, at which point this Vinyl will become completely obsolete and no one will buy that shit ever again except some collectors. This is literally the only timeperiod where this Vinyl would ever sell, and for all the wrong reasons.

I think he meant the full album. Now.... maybe there's a stop gap ep? who knows!? but I think we're talking about the full length album. An Absurd EP would be.... I mean, what do you even say to something like that. I'd have zero interest in getting that EP unless it included some extras that you can't download separately. Basically an Absurd EP is a VERY, VERY limited market, a LP which probably has some more warm and fuzzy type songs on it is infinitely more commercially appealing.

jamillos Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 (edited) It’s a somewhat funny situation. If Absurd gets released on vinyl, this time the band/management will mostly have to rely on die-hards (and maybe collectors), because the casuals seem to hate it (for obvious reasons). It’s a black-or-white division, but ok for this purpose. And yet it’s been the casuals toward whom the activities/songs/merchandize etc. of the recent years seemed to have been directed. Good luck, TB. It’s also possible they’ll release something else (HS?) with Absurd as the B-side, of course. Otherwise, it's gonna flop. Anyway, you folks from that Litho thread should have asked about real new music instead of obsessing over a 20-year old demo all the time. Like, that’s not exactly what we’ve been waiting for, is it. Cool song, though. The best from the bunch. On the other hand, there wouldn’t have been any real answer anyway, so… forget it. What was it last time? "New album in 6 months"? Oh, we used the good old Covid excuse, I forgot. Edited August 25, 2021 by jamillos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's all they need to do to move copies of Absurd as a 7" vinyl single: make it limited to 5000 (or so) copies as a Record Store Day Black Friday release. Casuals all over the world will sell it out instantly just because it's a limited edition piece, not because of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
