BucketEgg Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 (edited) was there always a lack of demand for new material from casuals, or did the casuals want new material at some point, but gave up ages ago and shelved GnR as a nostalgia act in their mindspace? When do you think most of them gave up? Edited December 10, 2022 by BucketEgg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfTheWave Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 They never really gauged how much interest there was for new GNR music compared to other classic rock acts since they didn't bother to promote the singles. Though in the case of Absurd, that might have been to their benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokingarthur Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I’m guessing they will release a couple of singles before next years tour. But I’ll guess that’ll probably be the last of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alfierose Posted December 10, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2022 This thread is approaching 1000 pages now. I'm thinking in the new year we close it and start a new one (as we've done in the past with the social media thread when they became very large). Any major objections to this? Perhaps over the xmas period we could have a new thread title competition (winner gets to start new thread?) If most people like the idea I will start a separate thread in a week or so for title entries and you can all unleash your wit/bad puns etc. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyWoodRose84 Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Would be a nice end of the year/new years day surprise to drop a new song, wouldn’t it? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's easier from a management point of view though, start a new thread. Call it something like "the all things considered new album thread" or "there's a couple of epic ones coming out" and everyone will be happy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stay.Of.Execution Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I think people are underestimating how casual fans want new music as well. People often ask me why there's no new music coming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a way to disagree, but you sound and act stupid, imature and arrogant with everyone in this forum. I can take it. People can take it. But you don't come off as cool, you're just embarrasing yourself, kiddo. The guitars sound thicker, meaner, I think the demo version is way better, give it a try! My god, you're a real crackpot🤣 No 1 I don't consider my opinion greater than anyone else's (well maybe this one person). No 2, in the years I've been here the amount of people that have been personally offended by something I said to them is a very short list. Why? Because we're talking about gnr and there's no facking reason to be getting upset because someone disagrees, even IF they sound arrogant, stupid or immature. And the majority of my comments are not attacking people, you however seem to be in a new argument every 2nd day... So maybe a little reflection time is needed bud😉 Relax old boy!✌️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because very long threads can affect site performance and in general are harder to search, moderate etc. Lots of forums have a cap on thread size.

I thought a title comp might be a fun thing to do over the xmas break but if there's not much <ahem> appetite for that then I can just wait until it hits around a 1000 and call it Vol.2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
