Popular Post 2020_Intensions Posted April 18 Popular Post Share Posted April 18 Axl Rose is 62 years old. It's fucking insane reading ya'll say shit like "years later" in regards to when GnR will get around to new music .... It's like there's no self awareness that this dude is 62 years old and has had a declining vocal capability for years now ... I swear some of you don't recognize the fact that this isn't 40 year old Axl from 2002 anymore ... 9 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news, this site probably means nothing new. Maybe just some initiative over at LN to get personal sites for big name stars? Who knows, it certainly looks AI-driven so far. I'd say this is the most likely scenario. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnR Chris Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Well, I don't think this is anything other than securing a URL for potential use in the future. Like his official TikTok page. Or Instagram. Both of which he never uses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing his age pointed out makes me feel old even though I'm 14 years younger than he is. To your point, I think there is a higher likelihood of peace in the middle east than GNR releasing truly new music ever again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scream of the Butterfly Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Maybe the BooKey page was legit after all and it's an AI generated authorized biography in the spirit of the General music video. I'd rather just read All Work And No Play by Jack Torrance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what this is used for Absolutely nothing. This will not mean Axl is going solo. dream on people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someones gotta be paying for this shit, so it's gotta be used for something. No one pays bills and website designers just to do jack shit with it. There's gotta be an idea behind it when he just doesn't do what everyone else does these days, which is just to use your Instagram. Solo album seems far fetched I agree, and a book is kind of doubtful aswell. So I'm still interested to see what the reason for it to exist is.

Blackstar Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 1 hour ago, gavgnr said: Please clarify I have a few times. In short: According to the liner notes of the recent singles, GN'R owns the rights to the recordings, which means that GN'R, and not the label, paid for the re-recording and production. Which, in turn, may also mean that Axl has bought the rights to the original masters from the label. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could still hypothetically release plenty of music, but it would take an incredible shift in his thinking, workflow and creative process.

I swear some of you don't recognize the fact that this isn't 40 year old Axl from 2002 anymore ... I totally understand the concept of age and declining abilities due to said aging. What I don't understand is how someone who sounds like a 90 year old woman who's out of breath, singing these classics & still charging $200+ a ticket. I spent $600 on 2 tickets in 2016. I was fine with that, too. A year later he sounded bad and it's only gotten worse since. Anyone who listens to the proshots of Paradise City/Sweet Child with Underwood or November Rain from Presley's funeral & thinks that sounds good, I have questions about their hearing abilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok this might derail the thread but I gotta get into this: Yes he is right about the creativity aspect, but he's forgetting one major thing, that just started existing within this last year: which is the advancement in AI technology which also influences the "studio magic" that is possible. With the advancements of AI technology in just this year alone (it's in it's infancy), Axl can pretty much record and sound like he did on Appetite, aslong as he can still hit the notes (which he can, albeit in his clean tone). He didn't lose his range, he just lost the rasp which is really demanding vocally, and of course you can't keep up that singing style for 30+ years. This is the reason why people like Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler still sound so good, they sang more with their natural tone. But now in a studio setting, he can record with the clean vocals and apply an AI created Axl voice filter on it, which works kind of like a guitar effect pedal (but just on his recorded voice instead) and have him sound like his 1987 self with the rasp completely added onto the vocals by the AI which works by feeding it with soundclips of his isolated studio vocals from AFD/UYI. People are already doing this with other singers, just applying an AI Axl onto the voice and it sometimes already sounds dead on, so when he does it with his own vocals, it'll sound pretty much perfect. So GNR can release as much music as they want, aslong as Axl actually starts working on it. Edited April 18 by StrangerInThisTown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appetitefordiscussion Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 IMO, I don’t think it’s really crazy or far fetched for any fan to think a book might be in the fold.. Since 2016 (maybe even further back), his character has been scrutinized WAY less by the press/media. I’d even say there hasn’t really been ANYTHING negative about Axl as a person in the news in years (other than the SA lawsuit). On top of AXL/DC + 7 years of Stadium tours with Slash and Duff, I’d imagine this would be the perfect time to put out a book. Of course nobody knows and we shouldn’t get our hopes up- but I wouldn’t be surprised by any means if he ever put a book out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Axl has literally spent hundreds of thousands doing this exact thing with domain names, urls, rights and done nothing with them. And of course most famously - music. It's just who he is. he has more money than our wildest dreams, he probably gets ideas, spends money on them and then just doesnt care or forgets. he's been doing that for about 28 years now 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like there's no self awareness that this dude is 62 years old and has had a declining vocal capability for years now ... I swear some of you don't recognize the fact that this isn't 40 year old Axl from 2002 anymore ... I get where you're coming from about Axl's age, but I think it's important to consider why people bring it up. Many fans are frustrated because there hasn't been much new music for over 20 years, and there's a perception that Axl has spent a lot of time blaming others for these delays. It's not just about his age. For instance, look at Bob Dylan. He released ten critically acclaimed albums after turning 60, including 'Modern Times,' which topped the charts when he was 65! So age really can be just a number when it comes to creativity and productivity. I would have been completely at peace if Axl had announced back in 2008, that he was done making new music and just wanted to do nostalgia tours. It would have set clear expectations. Unfortunately, he’s kept fans in limbo by occasionally mentioning in various forums and interviews, like the China Exchange, that he has stuff under his sleeve and entertaining some ideas with members, giving hints and so on. This has understandably led to such opinions among fans who are left expecting more. Not to mention Nando's mockery of music hungry fans. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So GNR can release as much music as they want, aslong as Axl actually starts working on it. This is a fair and reasonable point, they could use the tech available today. My argument against is that 1. I'm a purist and don't want to hear robot music. I'm ok with some autotune here and there but the idea of AI enhanced Axl makes me nauseous. I'll take current day Axls attempt for better or for worse. 2. If Axl uses that tech to sound like a younger voiced version of himself, he paints himself into a corner of not being able to perform it live. 3. I'd have to imagine Slash would be seriously against this, he is a pure traditional rock guy and barely likes using pro tools. This idea is fine for deceased musicians to finish off demos like the Beatles etc. but Axl is still alive and fit to work. I think the point of the post is the reality of Axls vocal ability and the reality of performing live and that it's not going to get any easier so now is the time to release music and tour while he still can pull it off. I don't think he's going to be able to do jungle etc. in another few years. On topic. I would love to read an Axl book. I would not like to be the editor though🤣 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
