Forget GN’R.
If you want a band pushing the boundaries of what is expected of a rock band, you should follow these guys instead.
The new album is a melting pot of styles that Axl could only dream of.
It’s completely bonkers, in a good way.

Yeah, 31 songs for the opening night of a tour is pretty impressive.
Bad Obsession sounded pretty great, as did Pretty Tied Up, though Axl gets out of time around the 3 minute mark of PTU and never recovers.
It still amazes me the Axl can fuck up timing so bad while the rest of the band just carries on around him like nothing happened.
Anything Goes sounded good instrumentally, but full Mickey vocals.
Haven’t seen any footage of Down on the Farm yet.

As long as the big $$$$ keep coming in for GN’R, Slash isn’t going anywhere. If he gets frustrated at no new music in GN’R, he goes off and does SMKC for a bit, then comes back to GN’R again for the $$$$
It’s a shame that these are the only two outlets Slash considers. SMKC are a tight rock n roll band, but they’ve run out of ideas and everything sounds the same now.
I wish he’d hook up with a singer with some grit and balls to make new music, that would compliment his guitar playing. Seeing as Axl doesn’t take advantage of this…

Agreed completely. The vault for the classic era really doesn't have anything of serious note left to move the needle.
Maybe some unreleased live proshot that they have on film, which means it can be transferred to 4K and look incredible, like the Ritz show from the UYI boxset
Besides that, there really appears to be nothing. If Axl truly is sat on an album + ep's worth of tracks, then Slashifying that is probably where the value is.
They could also try to write and record something new but that won't happen and they may have left it too late if Axl's voice is totally gone.
Slash said last year that after this years Summer tour, he wanted to write and record a new GN’R album. Hopefully that’s still the case, but who the hell knows with this band…

Isn’t that young Harrison Ford just old unused Indy footage from the 80’s? I didn’t think it’s actual digital de-aging
Edit. Never mind. I just watched the video and wow, it is digital de-aging!

Re: Perfect Crime Maybe Axl can't associate with his younger self or that time in the band. Perhaps it's too cringeworthy for him to sanction
And if that’s the case, what a shame that footage will lost to history.
Another case of missed opportunity.
But that’s the running theme with this band isn’t it?
#127 Re: Guns N' Roses » How do you feel about CD potentially being the last GNR album? » 120 weeks ago
Tommy had some things to say about what probably lead to the reunion happening, as well as there being a lot of unreleased songs, some with vocals, some without, as well as leftovers from the original band.
Nothing new, but still interesting

Arguably velvet revolver did A better job of finding a mor modern gnr sound
Yep, especially the first album. Contraband has aged much much better than CD has.
I can still put it on and listen from start to finish and thoroughly enjoy it all of it, even the lesser songs.
While CD certainly has its moments as an album, the lows on there are pretty bad and I find it difficult to listen all the way through these days.
#129 Re: Guns N' Roses » 2023 Tour Dates » 120 weeks ago
Can’t make this stuff up: Duff’s wife just said on their SXM show they are going to be playing Anything Goes on the upcoming tour.
And there you have it, that is what will constitute this tour being “new” and “different” lol
#130 Re: The Sunset Strip » Josh Freese new drummer of Foo Fighters » 121 weeks ago
The way they introduce him as the drummer at the start of that video is pretty funny
But man, as soon as they kick into their first song, you just know they made the right choice. Josh is a monster drummer who will compliment them so well, and already does so from that rehearsal footage alone.
I’m really happy they went with him.
