allwaystired Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Some serious double standards get applied in the name of optimism: Slash makes vague comments about new material=people take it as new material is definitely coming as he wouldn't make it up Slash makes vague comments about there being no new material played or recorded=people take it as new material is definitely coming as he's probably not telling the truth. Clutching at straws at this point. If they can't rustle up just one new song to play on tour, then stick a fork in it. It's done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlSlashthebest Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I don't think Slash lie. He just said he work on music for GNR. That's not mean it's gonna be one the market. For me he put pressure on Axl (even if he fucking don't care). But like that if nothing happen we all gonna looking in Axl's direction !!! clever guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 We can’t overlook the fact that in 2019 slash was saying, in a pretty confident manner, that new GnR music was on the way. Now all he says is these “yah maybe” type of answers. Something definitely happened behind the scenes between last year and now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine it wasn't that 'something' happened, it was that 'nothing' happened and he's lost his early optimism. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post janrichmond Posted November 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 25, 2020 Slash must dread the 'GNR new music' questions, he'll be open about his own music because he knows it'll get released. Seriously are there any other bands whose singer holds up releasing stuff for decades?

Same set list for 5 or 6 years, no music in 12, how could anyone claim they were interesting? The most interesting thing is actually now trying to figure out why they've gone out of their way to be so un-interesting, against all odds and opportunities! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand u but let 's be honest , Axl used to make Slash doing some stuff he don't want and that he is happy about now (November rain, the clip of novemeber rain, a lot of re-working of music for UYI1/2 etc) . So maybe Axl want to put out a newVERY good album or a double. Yes I know i'm so optimist but you will see....last but not least ...the new album is coming. I can even smell it !!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom2112 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 2 hours ago, rocknroll41 said: No. Well I don't buy into that for one minute. Will it be great? the odds are stacked against it, but it's possible... will it be good? more than likely! one thing is for sure is that one person will like this song, the other person will hate it, and... the other people will hate every song because this member and that member aren't on the record. Probably a better reception to CD because Slash and Duff are on board, but when those old UYI/AFD fans hear the music the 202? GNR release and it doesn't sound like those records I can't see them embracing it, especially if it's the "supposed" 2nd half of CD which is supposedly darker, heavier and more experimental. BUT!! I refuse to judge or anticipate a review of a record that hasn't even been recorded yet, when I hear it OR even hear the lead single! that's when I'll start making comments on good or bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wrote together for a few weeks (10 or so songs), but I don't believe any of his material was used on Contraband... if it was he didn't get credited😄 Izzy is a smarter businessman than to write songs for a record that does really well, and not ask for a share.

Once I broke in into his rehearsal room while I knew he was sitting on the shithouse after he ate eight burritos and I found this peace of paper with what I would call the seed of a new song. It was a peace of paper and all things considered there were two lines of new vocals written, that's a quarter of a verse or even half of a new chorus. I'm optimistic that we're looking very seriously into adding a new song into the setlist.. if not in 2021 then definitely in 2025. Sorry, but fixed...

Popular Post Sisyphus Posted November 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2020 (edited) I think it's laughable that not so long ago Slash made excuses how the changes in the music industry made Guns N' Roses doubt how to approach a new album. "More than anything it's because of the nature of the industry," he said. What a load of bollocks. Does he expect us to believe this excuse? Just do what you do with SMKC. Write songs, book studios sessions, record and release an album. Where's the rocket science? He and Myles can do it. Duff can do it. AC/DC can do it. Marilyn Manson can do it. The list goes on. Oh, it's only GN'R that found themselves in this predicament, falling prey to the unpredictable industry while making a ton from live shows. Poor, poor GN'R. Just fucking do it. There was 14 million dollars suposedly tied to the Chinese Democracy album and the release went by with 0 interviews, 0 videos, 0 appearances and 0 promotion other than a few billboards here and there. It's not like they'd have to go out of their way for a new album unless they were actually willing to do it. Which they obviously aren't. They could just throw it out there. CD, vinyl, YouTube, download, streaming, whatever the fuck you want. Just put some music out. No, no, it's the music business fucking things up for them. Liars. Like Axl whining about the lack of involvement from the record company during Chinese years after they threw millions of dollars at him and waited for years. I get that music business is ruthless but Axl really isn't in a position to complain. Bands used to be on a contract to put out an album or even two per year while Axl's been sitting on his ass artistically speaking for the better part of 30 years. But of course it is someone else's fault. Also his bitching about the lack of involvement is laughable considering Guns always prided themselves for being without constraints artistically and totally in charge of their material. Was Jimmy Iovine supposed to write songs for you? Fuck off. Edited November 26, 2020 by Sisyphus 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 (edited) Could be crap but I heard from a good source, who is involved with the Australian tour. That pre production was finished 4-5 months ago and they were just waiting on Axl. Edited November 28, 2020 by Gibbo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
