evilfacelessturtle Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Not just Axl but Slash also needs to realize how much better this is mixed than the last two SMKC albums. Neither of them seem to have a great ear for mixing and production. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aerosmith are my favorite band but they haven't even been able to complete a Vegas residency as of late.. I admire your faith and do hope you are correct.. Now back to Slash! This album and tour should be a blast! Good news on this front...even re-doing the first dates they already completed as Tyler wasn't happy with his voice those nights....🤞 He can get through it without more shenanigans!

Last tuesday went to the Conspirators in Amsterdam, Brent is the un sung hero of the band !! Damn he is realy good !!! It was one of best gigs if seen from the Conspirators. Axl can still sound good in a studio, live is a different story........... 100%, Fitzy is one of the best. Current GnR would sound 100x better if he (or someone like him) was behind the kit.

I'll still go see them live for nostalgia purposes and to see Slash play the classics live but if I had a chance to see this tour over Guns, I would choose this one... I feel the same way. The tour last year was cool and fun to follow online here because of the changes in the set and the overall positive energy but otherwise there's nothing exciting going on there anymore.

I've found that most musicians don't pick up on the finer details in the mix the same way that mixing engineers and producers can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, LTD wasn’t that bad. 4 is by far Slash’s worst sounding record to date and Mike Clink is the best producer he had. I really hope he keeps it in mind for future releases. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same standard mix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gordon Comstock Posted April 27 Popular Post Share Posted April 27 I'm stoked for this album, and it's cool to read about it, but this made me laugh. I'm sure everyone has tons of ideas. The timing hasn't aligned. They all want to do it, they just need to figure out how. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"could be interested... eventually" At best a final album would be a compilation of the NITL singles, covers and Duff songs. I'd bet a covers album is more likely than an actual newly-written album... and in the context of GNR, newly-written still leaves them a decade to write it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free Bird Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I think every “new album” announcement by any GNR member at any point now is completely laughable until it isn’t. It’s always the right timing for being sceptical regardless who’s saying the album’s might coming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, anything could happen. 1% chance of happening is still a chance. But there's no real reason to think it will happen eventually, I wouldn't say there's a 'good chance' they'd even attempt it. You can find quotes like this from Slash and Duff going back several years, which are just a continuation from what the band said during the CD years.

You can find quotes like this from Slash and Duff going back several years, which are just a continuation from what the band said during the CD years. yes, I'm aware of the history and old quotes from the 90's regarding a new album, but history doesn't predict the future and Axl is not 90 years old. I think making a final musical statement is a tall order and maybe not going to be easy to pull off, but these guys have made records together before, there is a lot of unreleased material to work with, and with the current structure of the band with no real issues, I think there is a real chance for them to make it happen years from now. I realize that it can very easily not happen and all we'll get is whatever remaining Chinese tunes that Axl still wants to release, if that, but I believe ideally, Axl would want to end it with a proper album that includes Slash (and Duff) just because the process is super slow, doesn't mean Axl can't get to the finish line in time. that's just the way I see it, I can understand why others like you see it differently considering Axl's reputation as a musician.

CD was his final musical 'statement' and it was a good one. The leftovers/singles are only a glimpse into the vault, but they're not promising, and it doesn't seem like there's any real effort to go out with a final album. There's gems in the vault of course, but we've only heard them from leaks - Monsters and Going Down. SOG had potential. I'd like to hear anything that Axl has recorded, but I'm definitely not holding my breath. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to hear anything that Axl has recorded, but I'm definitely not holding my breath. first of all, I'm not holding my breath either. I did say that if it would happen, it would happen years from now. that is my guess anyway. second: how do you know that Chinese Democracy was Axl's final statement? you don't, cause Gn'R is not over yet plus what Axl has in his hard drives probably dates back to the 90's and combined with whatever got done during the Chinese years, a 'glimpse' is the right word to describe what we got. it's not a reliable indicator when it comes to how much material the current lineup has to work with or in what quality. we know very little, that's an important fact to remember.
