DTJ80 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Just now, Gordon Comstock said: OMG is a good song with a bad mix (kinda like Hard Skool) but it was released, played live and forgotten 20 years ago. It would be a shame if they wasted their time releasing a re-worked OMG instead of something we haven't heard. Eye On You was stripped for parts and spliced into the mid-section of Hard Skool so I doubt they'll do anything with that. My thinking was the fact it was ‘tinkered’ with well after its original release so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility we could see it again…..I’m being greedy of course as I want this AND unheard stuff. 🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhazUp Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I just want everyone to jam together in the same room and create new songs together, at least a couple of times on a new album lol. I don't think it is unreasonable to think that a song that came together by Axl playing piano in a room and Slash creating guitar parts as he jams, would be exponentially more organic sounding than taking a ProTools session created in 1998 and adding new parts to that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all we know it was intended for the remix album and abandoned after that. I remember hearing the reason it wasn't played in 2011 was because Axl thought it was too hard to sing, so I can't imagine he'd try it a decade later...

"The village session, the village sessions" just shut the hell up you fool. What part of this interview do you not comprehend? I'm guessing English isn't your first language, because Slash said 1) there is an album 2) loads of material. Loads of material is not 2 more songs, if it was 2 more songs then he would have said There's Absurd/Hardskool and two more to go... album in todays world is 8-14 songs. Get over it, your insider card is permanently revoked. Go sit in the corner and wear your dunce hat. He's said exactly what I thought. They haven't written anything new - and they are gonna drip feed songs. If you believe there will be enough for a new full album good for you. I'm glad this interview gives you confidence. That confidence will take a small knock when the next song is Atlas. Then you'll start to worry when Perhaps drops. Then there will be complete silence and you'll start to claim a brand new one must be right round the corner. As I keep saying - I am DELIGHTED with this interview. He has said they have recorded the songs Rose had lying around. We are all gonna see what songs they were, and given the emotive nature of your message, your world is gonna crumble when they release EXACTLY what I've been saying they'll release, and no more.

How bout this if they release at least 1 of atlas/Perhaps/general NEXT. If one of em is next regardless if they changed the title. I'll change my name to Pelewasrightbutstillamassivetool69 Otherwise you're gone? Yes, if they release Atlas, Perhaps, General (under whatever name) - you change your name. If it's a real, new song we haven't heard - I go. Bet is void if it's OMG, a cover or a remake of a GNR song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan of the Chinese Democracy era of course I'd give it a listen, and I understand that Axl felt the version released for End of days was just a rough demo... but once it's released, it's released! time to move on. Like I said earlier I'll take whatever they release, I just can't guarantee I'll like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It shouldn't be this complex for a rock band to write and put out rock songs, but they are treating it like it is this crazy science expedition that they did some research on long ago and are just now getting around to revisiting and revising lol Edited January 6, 2022 by WhazUp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what you have been saying for months. You said there's 2 songs left with finished vocals and Rose hasn't recorded any more vocals for any other songs. I love when people dry to adapt their arguments on the fly when it looks like "oh I might be wrong", but you've repeated your bullshit so often we can all remember. If Perhaps and Atlas are released next there is still room on an album for 6-10 more songs, that's 6-10 more songs which you have 100% said do not have vocals. If there wasn't a lot of material then Slash would not be freely offering up info suggesting there was lots of new Axl songs being recorded.

Been a while since I dropped in and I was both astonished and concerned that the same shit was getting spouted on most threads... 1999 vocals, Buckethead appearing on the next album, the vault debate etc. It's like a mental institution!

It would be a shame if they wasted their time releasing a re-worked OMG instead of something we haven't heard. I'd agree with that. I actually think it's q banger of a track but it didn't land well so no point resurrecting it now. Bizarrely I didn't mind the weird mix either. Used to listen to that a lot as a 14/15 year old. Loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Always thought OMG was a solid song, much better than Absurd but they really needed a B-Side that was more standard Guns N Roses. As their first new song in years it probably was a real headscratcher much like Absurd was to people who don't closely follow the band. Does anyone know if Hard Skool had vocals when OMG was released? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, They release at least one of Atlas/perhaps/general NEXT. I change my name. They release any one of those next - you leave They release something completely out of anyone's radar - the bet is null and voided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystery Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Have to believe Slash and Duff are strictly in it for the paycheck at this point. Probably just like being in Guns and playing with Axl too. I can't imagine they thought the extent of "new" music would be playing over decades old songs. Their side bands seem like the only outlet for making new music. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I categorically and undoubtedly believe we won't see what I would consider 'a lot'. When you first started it was just Atlas and Perhaps. You have since added Oh my god and The general. I'm sure you'll find some way to say you're right regardless. Final point. Perhaps, Atlas, General, Absurd, Hardskool. That's 5 songs, that does not amount to an albums worth of material. What I expect is a minimum of 10-14 songs, a few we've heard through leaks and a couple that we haven't heard at all. I don't expect brand new material written by the current line up.

mystery Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 If an actual album comes does it hit number one on the Billboard charts? What counts as a number one album is way different these days and seems much easier to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
