DownUnderScott Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 It is questionable why we are all still here, as there is really fuck-all to discuss anymore. I just want to keep up to date with whatever may happen, and be there to see it through to the end. I know that we are highly unlikely to get new music ever again, but if we do I want to share in that joy with pure and die hard GnR fans of which this place has. If Axl announced it was all over then I would come here less and less over time, but still check in with the hope of leaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the least we deserve having waited for new material for 12/13 years! The way GNR treat fans regarding new material, it really would be poetic justice for CD2 to fall out of the sky thanks to a hoarder or disgruntled ex employee of Axl Rose.

Entman Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 (edited) If it was Officially over I probably wouldn't come here anymore. I only open the forum once in a while to check out the latest, and if by some miracle they haven't decided to finally put out an album that will end this saga with some semi-dignity Ok, once in a blue moon (like super blue xd) I check out discussions from the past, canter banter etc. (so rarely because I've read it all before) But yeah, if it were Officially over that'd be it for me with this forum Edited May 13, 2021 by Entman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That very well could happen, especially if CD2 was ever "turned in" at one point like rumor has it before it was rejected by the label.

marlingrl03 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Ha yeah, I don't come here just for news about a new album. Would it be nice if it were to happen?! Of course! I have made some friends here and I like discussing music, shows and politics in the other sections. So I'm here to stay no matter what. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintari Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 (edited) Considering there are hoards of message boards revolving around bands that don't exist anymore, I would say nothing would change really. GNR's 1985-1994 run was a real thing and it's never going to not exist. So as long as that's true, there will always be an interest in discussing the band. As far as myself though, I'm not so sure a new record sans Izzy (or even with Izzy) would be worth the wait anyway. How many rock bands release epic albums when its members are pushing sixty? And by epic, I mean albums that live up to the stuff they released in the glory years? Maybe there's some out there I can't think of, but if so, I... well... can't think of them lol.

goodtimes8inity Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Friendship is good. GN'R is legendary. Provide so much entertainment. Plus, if Axl officially announced there would be no new album? . . . that would be the most assured signal that there WILL be a new album. GN'R is always fun.

No point mentioning bands that wrote great records in their later years really, but ELO released a great comeback album a few years back that fit right in with the previous material, Jeff Lynnes in his 70s. There is no age cut off for when you might come across a great song idea. Toto's last album was brilliant 50/60 yr olds each. Van Halen Different kind of truth. Paul Simon, Robert plant, paul McCartney too all late 70s and releasing great albums. Obviously there's plenty of very forgettable albums from older artists too. I just don't think an artist has to constantly better or equal their most beloved works... is it a good song? do the songs work together as a package? is it something you haven't heard before? that's what I care about. Also, what is the measurement of if it does stack up? I don't think you can fairly AB them. Those early albums have 30yrs of memory association, they have the bands most beloved hits. A new album could be stacked with great songs and it's never going to be accepted the same way as those old albums when the expectation level was so much lower or none at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavgnr Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Yup, already over for me. It’s just a tribute band now. I know that seems harsh but my loyalty has waned as it’s become clear this band has no interest in creative output whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash and Duff have only been back since 2016. That may seem a long time for some bands but in GnR world that is nothing. If they are working on new songs, recording a new album, it is obviously going to take ages. If you want to follow a band that releases new records every two years, go follow the Foo Fighters or Weezer, they release records all the time. By now you should know what to expect from a band like GnR. I think there will be a new record for sure, but I am not expecting it any time soon. That way I can only be pleasantly surprised if it does happen within the next decade. And if it doesn't, so be it. There are more important things in this world than a rock n roll band really. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In what world is 5 years "nothing"? There's a reason almost every band member has released a solo album since 2016. The reunion has lasted almost as long as the time period between CD's release, and the CD lineup's demise. Even in the GNR world that's a stupid amount of time to go without releasing at least one song (especially considering Slash and Duff's output). We agree on one thing at least... there's no new album coming soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is, they released singles, played new songs live and let people know new music was coming before UYI... then they released 2 albums. That's clearly not the case with the NITL lineup. Every member aside from Axl has released new music since 2016. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beats these days with axl taking 15 years+ between releases 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
