I was happy to see Slash and Duff back in Guns N' Roses, but I regret that all the material from previous line-ups will be buried in the archives. 
Given the current state of Axl's voice, there is no reason to expect anything good from a potential new album, however, as well as from live performances. 

Therefore, I am all for the expanded edition of Chinese Democracy. I read that Axl once planned a 3-disc collection, it would be great to listen to them.

It’s not like new music is guaranteed when voting against NITL. They had the opportunity releasing their shit for many years but nothing happened.
What I’ve heard from the leaks didn’t really impress me and can’t make up for the experience I had visiting the reunion concerts. Now if you ask me NITL touring vs NITL album I’d probably go with the record but only if it’s new from scratch.

Reunion.

As nice as new music is, they already “made their mark” on the world. I remember the years when Axl and Slash hated each other, and it sucked. Hearing that they patched things up was a huge relief, as a fan.

Nothing wrong with anything of what you wrote, but does this mean you are more a fan of the band members than the music? Although I guess it is nice when promises of money ends childish feuds, I was still disappointed when Slash and Duff rejoined the band because I thought new music became less likely.

I guess you can say that I am. That said, I like that slash continues to put out new music on his own, at least. I’m a fan of pretty much everything he’s done outside of GnR (and I’m an even bigger fan of what he’s done within GnR, of course).

I know it's not the point of the thread, but I think if Axl had dropped CD2 and done another round of touring with the 2005 lineup (with Frank instead of Brain, and only 2 guitars) there's a better chance we could have gotten a 'real' reunion as a one-off.

He was on good terms with Duff and Izzy, he and Slash were developing a business relationship again (signing off on each-other's live releases)... If Axl releases the rest of his music, gets it all out of his system, and is eventually looking for that big pay day, a 'Celebration Day' style AFD5 show isn't out of the cards. I know some people still think that's a possibility now, but they're simply wrong.

Either way, CD2 with Robin and Bucket intact would've been way better than a few singles with Slash and Duff frankensteined in...

NITL, no question.  Seeing Slash and Duff on stage with Axl is something I never thought I would be able to witness in real life and wouldn't trade that for anything. 

Growing up Appetite and the Illusions were what made me inspired to pick up a guitar and get into music in a heavy way - hearing the guy who wrote those amazing leads on stage means more to me at this point in my life than any amount of new Guns tracks that don't have that guitar sound on it

The reunion, hands down. CD was just decent, with a few great songs (which were better in their demo form,) but seeing Slash back on stage with Axl, playing the songs they wrote together is an experience I’d never trade for anything. 

This is how I feel too.

He still would've had to replace Ron and DJ in this scenario right?

Assuming we still got to hear those insane Axl/DC shows, and the 'reunion' was with Robin instead of Slash... CD2 hands down.

That first NITL run was incredible, even if just for hearing Coma and the novelty of Slash playing CD songs... but they're not writing an album, so I'd take CD2 (hopefully mixed and mastered closer to how CD sounded) over a decade of meaningless touring. At least nu-GNR's concert tickets would've been cheaper :lol:

If he somehow could get Robin and Bucket back, CD2 hands down too. If Bucket was indeed out of question, just a Robin/Richard duo would be quite interesting, but only if the "new" songs could still get what Bucket recorded. 

Or they could hire me lol. :awesomeface:

I don't believe DJ Ashba recorded for anything on CD2, just the Better remix and his own solos, and what he submitted to Axl.

Hopefully any CD2 stuff we get officially has Bucket and Robin on it (removing Bumblefoot's parts in favor of Bucket's) regardless if Robin or Bucket are touring and/or in the band for the release.

I’m sure that I’ve read a new record was definitely the planned next step pre-NITL, and we know from the China Exchange interview that the next record was ready to go. 
 

I would infinitely have preferred the next record from ‘Nu-GnR’, but then I was lucky enough to see the original band sans Steven back in the day.

I just hope that whatever’s in the vault leaks in its entirety one day. We came close with the Village sessions.

Nu GNR had plenty of time to release music but didnt. Atleast we got 4 singles with the NITL lineup. 

They did in 2008, but I assume you mean 2009-2014. (I agree, it was a missed opportunity to not release CD2 then)

Having CD2 out before NITL would both have resulted in better quality material with original players behind those songs, for the most part, save for Bumblefoot and Frank's parts (based on what we have heard), and it would have pressured the NITL lineup (or Axl) to get actual new material out after the reunion, or work on whatever CD3 material they had then with NITL.

For me, the experience when I saw them in Munich 2017 shits all over anything past the release of CD and especially a fictional album with Bumble and Ashba, tentatively called "CD2". 

The frankensteined Left overs don't do that much for me, as well. The exception would be Perhaps, which is a cool song with an exceptional video.

Ashba wasn’t on CD2, Bumblefoot was, Robin and Bucket too. (As it was 2009-2014 or present, depending on if Slash and Duff worked on it subsequent to the CD era) I’m hoping we get at least a few untouched gems from that era.
