He ranked himself as useful in interviews as Fortus, to my eyes. I don't think he lied. Think about it for a second. Why would he lie? All those years where Dizzy, Tommy or Richard spoke about stuff that didn't happen. Were they lying? Probably not, what motivation is there to lie in the middle of interviews about side projects? None really. Especially not for Tommy, Dizzy or Richard as they're fixed rate contract guys as far as we know. I would wager that whenever any of these guys have said these things in the past that they believed what they were saying and the last they heard these were the plans. If these things don't happen, I'd guess it's above their head at the Axl or TB level. Or maybe even further and involves more never-ending label disputes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Slash is of course entirely aware of the danger of indicating a release date for GN'R music, he knows Axl better than any of use. That he then went as far as to suggest something could come out around June suggests things must have been pretty advanced at that time and that a release date in June was likely set internally. That it doesn't come to fruition shouldn't surprise anyone and definitely shouldn't cause frustration when even Slash himself wouldn't commit to a date or promise anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not expecting anything revolutionary and earth shattering from this band. But I would take anything I can get, doesn’t mean I’ll like the results. But anything is better than nothing. GNR forever living off a tiny catalog of songs is getting old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he felt that he had enough clout at that point based on what was discussed with Axl and TB previously that he was pretty confident that it might possibly maybe somehow probably occur. But it seems Axl likely had a change of heart, or the planetary alignment isn’t quite to his liking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Hard Skool and the concept of Absurd. HS is proper old school GN'R as far as I am concerned. And Absurd is as bonkers as it gets, another My World, I Don't Care About You or, yes, It's So Easy (although the latter is infinitely better the share the same fuck you punk attitude). 3 minutes ago, betterman said: The new single might be Street of dreams, recorded with Slash and Duff I don't think there was anything in the last performance that suggested Slash has recorded a solo to Street Of Dreams 2 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlsalinger Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I guess we should check to see when the tour ends, for a best guess as to when the single might be released to promote the tour. #BecauseItsGnR #ItsNotSupposedToMakeSense 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absurd has a cracking energy to it IMO. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ve listened to Absurd like 3-4 times tops and Hard Skool definitely less than 10 times. Bad thing is the setlist would be better off with some CD deepcuts than with either of them, though.

I agree, I wish I could have my $1.34 back for purchasing Absurd. I’d rather spend the money on .20 gallon of gas. It’ll be kinda funny when the next single ends up dropping and it’s a total Fuck You to us all. Rehashing OMG would serve that purpose. That’s why I’m thinking that’ll be the one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AxlRoseCDII Posted June 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 21, 2022 Absurd and Hard Skool are great songs to me. I loved them. Just wish more singles/an album was coming after all the time we’ve waited. Hoping eventually the new singles Slash talked about surface and don’t end up being a mysterious oddity we never hear about again. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just nostalgia, assuming you're talking about the clip they used as the intro in 2006,but I get almost chills whenever I hear it. 2006 was my intro to GNR. I still thought that intro was their best I'd ever experienced live. That intro, Robin Jungle intro in darkness with some blue lights. All of a sudden Axl screams, spotlight turns on and he's already front and centre stage. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
