Funkadelic Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think the RIR appearence will be the last we'll ever see from Guns N Roses, which makes me really sad cause I'm a major fan of G'N'R in any shape or form. But I can't see how the younger guys in the band are gonna want to stick around when nothing happens. I personally wouldn't ever wanna play in a band like Guns where every move seems to be like the most complicated thing in the universe. So while they wait as eagerly as we do for something to happen I think they're gonna use the Guns name (no hating here, I'd have done the same) to promote their solo stuff and then move on.

Towelie Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I will post naked pictures of my wife on this very forum if we hear anything resembling new material in 2011. Seriously, that's a promise.That's how much I don't believe it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GNR123GNR456 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 What happened to lay down some track's? Whatever the case will be, I think we may hear something new this year. Either Re-release, Rio, New album. I'm very optimistic and I think we may here something new this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew07 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 all i expect is the rir performance, and hopefully a US tour but i doubt we will see a new album anytime soon if at all, were better off hoping that they will play more songs from the illusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gunns5 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 before I see any new material released or played live, I want to see the current band perform Riad live, Rio will be a good time for it to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will you post naked ones of yourself instead?unless its a lesbian couple, lets just keep it to the wife pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janis Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I wish Axl would simply say "there are plans to release new music"...because last time I checked, he did not know and did not care... Maybe he'll open up in Rio...seems like a good place for him to give that kind of news.I think he is in shit with the record label after abandoning ship during CD I's release. Well, Best Buy, Interscope and whoever else at the label....How did he abandon ship? What happened with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happened with that?This is just my opinion, but he abandoned ship by doing zero promotion, no music videos, no shows, no real interviews, no announcement from Axl himself etc. The official website was the LAST website to post the release date. Axl's presence was non-existent save for the forum chats(which were awesome). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Axl has his reasons and some are obv valid but come on he worked his ass off for a decade on those songs and then no real big promo! There's just no excuse for him doing that little IMO. It comes off like he doesn't care and I'm sure he does so it doesn't make sense. It's all very messed up. Do you think he was pissed off at the label for something and refused to do promo?

It comes off like he doesn't care and I'm sure he does so it doesn't make sense. It's all very messed up. Do you think he was pissed off at the label for something and refused to do promo?From what i gather from the Azoff lawsuit files, is that once Axl handed over the master copies of Chidem, the record label and Guns management went their own way on how to release it. The 2006-2007 tour was merely to gather up funds on Axl's part to finish off the record and pay everyone's salaries. I think the record label washed their hands with Chidem back in 2004 when they cut off funding(no one can deny this) and put out the greatest hits CD which was a mega success and still is. I think the label thought "fuck this, the greatest hits will recoup most of the money we put into it" and were mostly done by Axl's antics, it was then upto Axl to put up the rest of the money, hence the 2006-07 tour. They then went with Best Buy to cover the advertising, print, promo etc. Best Buy got shafted really, they still have a whole stack of albums sitting there, hence why they dropped the price to $2. I don't think the label care anymore, they received their money, however, they still have ownership of the rest of the songs in the vault, as they paid for the studio time and still have Axl on contract.This is just from what i have gathered, i could very well be wrong on some things, but some things are pretty much fact.

Changes Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Come to think of it, I'd rather have nothing than more CD sounding material outI dunno man Checkmate sounds sickHaha, yes but you also think CD is the greatest album of all time so I'm guessing we have different tastes. I'm actually giving CD a listen as we speak to try and accept it. I really want to. My biggest wish is for Axl to have kept his Lies voice though checkmate sounds better than anything on CD (my opinion)honestly give CD a fair chance. every time you listen to it you will hear different sounds from all speakers. it's quite a phenomenon.Just wanted to let you know I'm making progress. Just added Catcher to my playlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I would feel satisfied with- tour/RIR with also some update as to what's happening with the second album.What would be super awesome is if Axl talked about the new album and how they planned to release it sometime 2012 and also introduced a new song live from the new album at RIR.That is the best we can get from this year imo.

Spirit Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Somewhat cryptic, but I have a strong feeling RIR won't be the only thing we'll see from GNR this year...Tommy Stinson twitter:This will be a very interesting year indeed.

Hold on to your hats!!!I think you are right. Guns have never ever done just one show(especially this big) and that's it. They have always followed or lead up to a show. In other words, Axl never does 'one off" shows. There will definitely be more dates to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
