Spoon87 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 The Cure just did it right. Announced a new record on relatively short notice (release is November 1st) with Robert Smith saying it was probably a mistake talking about this new record as early as 2019, leaving the fans speculating since then. This can only mean one thing: Chinese Democracy 2 starts now! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was maybe 1/2 good songs on living the dream and 4 was just very going through the motions. If we're lucky they might strike gold on 1 or 2 songs again but I highly doubt it now. I'd rather he did it and 1 song out of 12 was great than just took the axl approach of doing nothing for 30 of the past 31 years. https://blabbermouth.net/news/slash-featuring-myles-kennedy-the-conspirators-to-record-fifth-album-in-november Tentative release date in 2025. (not an axl tentative release date which is just hot air blown against the wind) It's less about the albums being utterly forgettable after WOF, and more that we know given a bit more effort SMKC can actually write a good record. But you are correct that's it's not unusual for bands to slip into cruise control. Slash should just want to make great albums again though, and not just some piss poor vehicle to tour on. Same goes for Axl, the singles he has chosen are well below the bar they should be hitting. Subjective? Of course, what isn't subjective is the majority of listeners not engaging with the music beyond first/second listens. And that can be blamed on modern listening habits, but that's a cop out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedsides, haven't they already released like 8 albums since the GNR reunion? The meh is strong with this one.

colonizedmind Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 The Cure released their last record within the same weeks that CD came out....now they've just announced their first album in 16 years.... So it can happen! Sounds decent too... https://superdeluxeedition.com/news/the-cure-songs-of-a-lost-world/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about quality over quantity for me. Just because a band releases something normally doesn’t mean I have to like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather he did it and 1 song out of 12 was great than just took the axl approach of doing nothing for 30 of the past 31 years. See, I’d rather neither at this point. For me, I’d rather see Slash go off and do his own thing like he did for his covers album. Grab a competent producer/engineer (good job choosing Clink), which both SMKC and GNR seem to be allergic to these days, and do your own thing. Then, if even half the album is good and the other is a bunch of clunkers, at least I would admire the spirit of doing your own thing outside of these lame band parameters.

Axl2002 Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Slash Solo Band has so much talent but the results of the last 2 records have been underwelming. They really need a producer to push them to write better songs before goin into the studio, I really like Myles in Alter Bridge but with Slash he seems on autopilot. Boring melodies and his vocals don`t really shine like with Alter Bridge. The last "4" record the cover artwork says it all uninspired and boring. 3-4 good songs the rest forgettable. I hope they can surpise me with the next release but I dont expect that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it really shows how badly Slash and Axl need each other as a counterweight. Axl to get Slash to be more critical of his own ideas, and Slash to get Axl to release it this century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 The rest is gravy for me. We got, AfD UYI I UYI II Contraband Chinese Democracy and a large handful of other pretty good stuff out of these guys. They’re in their 60s.

Well, except Axl! That's literally minimum effort on his part, he's done the work....well actually scratch that, he'd want to overdub to the nines!! Do we actually think the live versions of "You're Crazy" and "Don't Cry" on the EP's (2021/22) were dubbed? Sounded significantly better and it wasn't just mixing! Though if they stick to mostly 2016/17 for the staples and then cherry pick the best newer additions and one off great moments of TWAT etc.... I'm sure we'd all lap up a new Live Era with cool packaging and maybe even a combo Blu Ray / Stream pass the *Around The World With GNR" film. All that BTS stuff they filmed last couple of years, surely make a decent tour doc too... I'd imagine Disney or Netflix have at least asked the question.... Disney in particular have a lot of music films, like Elton's last date.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows I wouldn't expect them to release anything in the near future though. Think plans have shifted snd now they are aware that fan/critic expectation is a new LP. A live album doesn't move the needle, and they kind let the cat out of the bag already with the YouTube selects, which kinda did more damage than good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gavgnr Posted Sunday at 04:57 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:57 PM We never seem to hear about people with unheard tracks anymore.

Nobody is going to stick there head over the trench and publicly admit to having anything when they know it's a place that's watched. They have examples they can point too of what happens to people who do/have done that & those are not people you see around on forums anymore for the large part. There's probably alternative mixes and earlier versions of things we already know about out there but I doubt completely new unheard of song titles are.
