A good chunk of the UYI songs were pre AFD material finalized. Some were entirely new, I acknowledge that. I feel like too much success CAN (but doesn't always) make it hard for bands to create new material. After the success and exhaustion of the historic UYI tour (on top of tensions and issues reaching a point that would lead to the band breaking up), I get the impression GN'R was facing difficulty writing new music but once GN'R essentially ended, Axl wrote an insane amount of songs. You've got 14 songs on ChiDem and I know a lot of unreleased ChiDem material are song concepts and not really songs, but you've still got potentially another 12ish songs good enough for an album sitting in the vault. That is TWO ALBUMS worth of material Axl wrote following UYI. I think that's impressive for someone who has (rightfully?) been described as lazy and someone who reached the top and realized somewhere that he and his band would never reach anything close to their glory days height again. Well, 26 songs in 25 years (since 1997) is not an insane amount of songs. It's a song per year. For a professional musician, that's bad!

TheSlashrose Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 While I appreciate Axl's presence at the funeral, seeing him sing hurts even more. Clearly Guns is heading towards its end. Axl sang NR like Bon Jovi sang "Always", that's the end of the line for both bands. Even though Steven Tyler is in poor health he still rocks live music, and he's 10 years or older on them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He really should use whats left in the studio now. The Chinese stuff is done already. I wish he would record new stuff NOW, time's running out for new GNR music if he won't change his style of singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows, he may surprise us sometime in the not so distant future(though I’m doubtful). Axl’s vocals don’t necessarily disintegrate in a linear fashion. He has ups and downs along the way. But certainly, he needs to sing in a more comfortable, more natural register if he is to continue moving forward with touring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And fuck you for not being Mark Twain, then I might actually have enjoyed your post. There is NO EXCUSE for taking the lazy way out and not being someone else! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokingarthur Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I think the idea of waiting for a new album had worn out it’s welcome. In reality we are just waiting on new music, essentially a new single. Obviously there’s no new album coming as there isn’t even an albums worth of finished material to release. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnerfucker Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 It's been more than 20 years since Axl’s been able to sing as he once did. He began to struggle vocal wise in 99-00. Nowadays it is plainly a pain to listen to. (Don’t get me wrong, this is not personal. I like Axl, I think he’s a good guy🤷🏻♂️) It will always be beautiful to go back and listen to appetite, lies, the illusions, live era and even a few CD songs. I wouldn’t expect anything more from the band. The last two -recycled- single attempts were half assed IMHO. I agree, this is the end of the line for GNR in regards to new music or anything bench marking. I’m really looking forward for unreleased studio and live stuff tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what the rest of us know in regards to how much completed music we have ready for release, Slash told us. Axl certainly isn’t going to release an album with Slash and Duff on half the tracks coupled with older recordings without them entirely. Especially given the fact that he even said they haven’t even started recording new material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
