They need a producer that bring Slash’s tone back to the Illusions era and a lively drum sound. That won’t happen anytime soon with Axl, Caram and Slash.

Mike Clink or bust.

Andrew Watt would be a very good choice.

Top of my list would be Butch Walker, Zak Cervini, John Feldman or Jake Sinclair.

First of all, you need new music. There's no need for thinking about who's gonna produce the album when nobody writes the new album.

Perhaps sound fine and I suppose the General does to, so no need for a new producer. 

Hard Skool was a bit bad mixed/mastered, but the production job itself is ok

I think both Hard Skool and Absurd needed a better production with the guitars. Perhaps wasn't so bad because it's not a guitar-driven song, but we shall see with The General.

the guitars on HS and Absurd sounded very processed and tinny especially on Hs. almost midi like.

I agree. I think they overused reverb on vocals and guitar (with a very short time). Combined with the compression, it sounded thin and weak like listening through a broken speaker.

Yup. I'd love to see Slash returning to the fat UYI/ Spaghetti tone as well, it would work great with modern production I guess.

I absolutely love Ozzy's Patient No.9. It's one of my favourite albums of 2022. Hackney Diamond is also very solid, with very nice production, IMO. It would be amazing to have this level of production in the """"next GnR album"""" but IF we ever get a new album, and that's a big IF, I think we'll likely get someone like Fernando's producer friend or whatever

Why split the loot, good old 'Nando is gonna produce it HIMSELF!

Noone could work with this laughable shitshow of a band.

With Axl Rose, others are more or less ok

[Rambler]

I hope no

[drbunnig]

I'm only really familiar with the two Ozzy albums, which were terrible. No thanks.

Quincy Jones might be a good Producer for GNR.... Quincy is a hitmaker of a Producer. I literally JUST thought of Quincy like three seconds before writing this post, so be feel to heavily criticize me if you want. 

[Chuzeville]

He also did a good job with Liam Gallagher as a solo artist.

Imagine being in the luxurious position where we could actually and reasonably have a discussion about who would produce the next GNR album without it being pure fantasy? 

I bet threads like that exist on other bands forums. 

[Mikey Whipwreck]

Axl Rose and Caram Costanzo. Not because they're the best option but because that's the only slim hope we have of new music. 

The idea that Axl would ever work with a real, big name producer again is hilarious.

So, no, Quincy Jones? 😏🤣

My vote is for Eric Valentine.

He strips the soul out of the bands he produces. They end up sounding like paint-by-numbers imitations of themselves with the heart ripped out. Also his albums tend to be processed within a midges appendage of their lives - loud and unpleasant.

I haven’t heard the Stones record so this is my view having heard the Eddie Vedder one (listen to Earthling compared to all prior Eddie solo material) and Ozzy. 

Hard agree. Not a Watt fan. Something about his sonics feel sicly to me.

Plus I could very well live without an Axl / Stevie Wonder / Ed Sheeran / Lady Gaga or whoever else he comes up with collab

Okay, so maybe Quincy isn't the best fit for next Guns N'Roses Producer. 😏🤣
