Rovim Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I definitely believe Axl wants to release a new album but I don't know how close they are to a finished product so it could be that there's a plan to release one when it's done and pick a way to sell and promote it but maybe those things are still tbd.

I've always loved that title ahead of the other classics: The Spy who ate Kebabs Thunderbaw Dr. Naw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allwaystired Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 "never say never" is perhaps the least reassuring comment yet. The narrative is definitely going backwards- more positive comments used to fly around, and now they seem to get less and less positive all the time.

Ratam Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Is an cryptic message, can mean whatever you want to think, negative positive. First Susan and now Meegan. Pity that Axl is single.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chester 524 Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 never say never... well here's to 300 more pages in this thread! album title: 1 year on Neptune is 165 earth years, so we aren't really doing that bad if you think about it.

Rovim Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Axl didn't give a release date, nothing has changed for the better or worse since 2016. There's not enough information to read into imo. Slash seemed optimistic, but it seems that Axl sets the pace of it just like it was in new Guns.

That's the old excuse, which ignores the huge gaps in touring and the promises that the album was on it's way. He'll be busy with touring for years and years, because it's the never ending tour. I'm not sure what the 'what not' is though! Then you have the other argument people trot out that they can't release new music UNLESS they are touring and all we're waiting for now is more tour dates! So either they can't do anything unless they're not touring, or they can't do anything until they're touring again...... there's an excuse either way, for those that want one.

Sweersa Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I would much rather have CD2 leak from the CD era. Even in 2008-2014, I bet CD2 then was as bloated as the 2008 CD was. Hmm, with the current lineup, is there a chance CD2 as the eventual new album will be stripped down a bit? Might not be a bad thing. I'm thinking village locker leaks vs the overproduced 2008 album.

We don't know what he'll be busy with, time will tell. it's not too late for them to release a good Gn'R record imo and it won't be even if 2 more years pass with nothing released. No release date, no worries about an imminent release. Axl latest position is "soon is still not the word" but that he would love to do it. Open statement, no promises. At least he's not lying about it. Edited February 23, 2021 by Rovim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sometimes shit doesn't work out, it's not that shocking cause I believe Axl is a perfectionist like Brian May said he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previous to that there were loads of references to albums being on the way etc. I agree it's not too late for them to release a good GNR album. Not that I think one is even remotely imminent though.

Not to you and not to probably most people, but it's irrelevent whether you understand it or not. It's his life, and he seems to live it for the most part on his own terms, he doesn't have to conform to how you think he should live his life. This is something people here don't seem to understand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and in 2006 he told Eddie Trunk during his radio show that they had 2.5 albums worth of material, and that they were even going to work on more material that night. In 2014 or so he said the remix and follow-up album were already recorded. "We recorded a lot of things before Chinese was out. We’ve worked more on some of those things and we’ve written a few new things. But basically, we have what I call kind of the second half of Chinese. That’s already recorded. And then we have a remix album made of the songs from Chinese. That’s been done for a while, too. But after Vegas, we’re going to start looking very seriously at what we’re doing in that regard." - Axl Rose I would imagine, at the very least, right now they have two albums worth of material. I'm sure some of it will never see the light of day. Stuff like Nothin, Eye On You, Silkworms, etc. wouldn't fit well on a current GN'R album, as much as I'd prefer the vaults to be emptied as well as my wallet as a result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is that Axl has always been pretty consistent. It's really not his fault that fans keep getting their hopes up. Although sometimes I almost think that fans just want a reason to come on here to talk about how much he sucks. Because let's face it, it has become a favourite pastime for some people on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
