Tom2112 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 1 hour ago, evilfacelessturtle said: Mutt and Rubin both made great sounding albums with AC/DC. That would be really cool. Mutt and Axl together in a studio. I don't think time is on their side to see that collaboration through, given both guys famous slow and meticulous process. But that would be cool. Pretty sure Mutts retired outside of doing the very rare album for Bryan Adams or one of his other close friends. For sound alone, bob rock but he's also a strong personality and doesn't mind saying if somethings not good enough musically, something Caram failed to do. A lot of great options, but IMO they need a producer that's going to be the boss. Kinda Phil spectre holding a gun to their head and saying play/sing😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Free Bird Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 4 hours ago, Tom2112 said: Yeah but then it's "I wish they would just say something" when they say nothing. Not really a winnable situation. This was a pretty direct question and sure the response wasn't as direct but there's at least signs of a pulse I thought it was pretty direct. “There’s new material” is a statement. But other than that they seem to be at the same point as they were when Slash gave the answer about how to release material these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you just keep putting out singles. I don’t know if the right answer is there in this day and age. Yet Duff himself has put out albums recently and Slash just released one At this point who cares. The window of time for them to put out a good new album capitalizing on the reunion has long since passed. And if it's more crap from Caram then I'm not interested. They need to get back with Mike Clink and do it the right way. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like many people care about if Duff puts out a single. Lots of artists are more successful just releasing singles today. Someone like Slash or Duff probably need to do an album because their stuff isn't going to get a fuckton of attention anyway like a newly written song from GnR might. Perhaps got quite a bit of airplay and attention anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jekylhyde Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I think the band's core audience, when it comes to new music, isn't a singles only -type of an audience. I guess younger people get hyped about singles and that model works well for new artists that have a fanbase of young people. But Guns is an old band and their main audience are still into albums. Releasing only singles is a wrong MO for Guns, in my opinion. An album would be an event for the fans, the singles are a bit like "yeah, cool, whatever". But we all know who is the hold up It ain't Slash, who just released an album. It ain't Duff, who released one last fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNfr Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) I laughed at the thought of Axl and Rick Rubin in the same studio. wouldn't work. I'd love to see someone like Mark Ronson producing instead. He made Villains for Queens Of The Stone Age, which is one of the best records of the last 20 years. Or Jack White, who produced his album Fear Of The Dawn, which is also an awesome record.

Sweersa Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 (edited) If someone told me back in 2008-2010 CD2 hadn't been out by 2024, I'd be absolutely bummed out. In 4 years, that's 20 years since the last Guns album! It's a joke, because now we have been waiting longer for a Guns album than Chinese Democracy itself, and what makes it even funnier (and worse) is during that time CD2 has more or less been completed since the time the 2008 album came out.

This ho hum, back and forth, "well, we just don't know how we'd release it" bullshit is as lame as Absurd's lyrics. If they actually went into a studio and recorded some bloody songs, they would understand that an album can still be put together under the GNR name. Problem is, they're never going to do that for whatever reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously.....🫣 Don't they know that you only get away with shit like that, when you ARE actually Prince (or the artist)....you forgive because of the talent....post death of legends, estates need to run a right ship that services the fan better in the afterlife, it's not really that hard....at least one wuality product a year and there wouldn't be too many complaints ... Axl will be the opposite, almost a guarantee that post death, more product than in his lifetime will come out!

lunastar Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 9 hours ago, El Guapo said: Этот. Даже если на следующей неделе они выпустят действительно сильную и по-настоящему недавно написанную мелодию, на данный момент в реальном мире это не будет большим событием. The band's new album makes sense accompanied by a massive PR company, as Aerosmith did. In the context of the band's return with a full set: the classic line-up (Izzy's presence is mandatory), the album and the tour in support of it. Then their songs will be noticed and heard. Only on condition that the songs are of a high level. But in the composition that gnr now has (half from NuGNR, half from the old gnr), it is difficult to present yourself. It takes a lot of brainpower to noisily present a group with a murky history in the media space. This is a purely concert line-up for business, it replenishes everyone's accounts well. It's a little weak for creativity. If this is new material from that link in another post, then no. This guitar fragment reminds me of the music of any unknown author from a major music catalog. And it also looks like something from Chinese leftovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they need to deliver. When you just can't do it anymore, the best approach is to be accessible. But about Hendrix... That isn't the best example. Yeah, his state did release a lot of stuff since he died, but in the last 20 years he's being forgotten because of incredibly idiotic copyright police not unlike recent GNR stories. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
