Guns N Roses has always been about getting rich. Always. That never changed.
Re: New Album thread 2025 by sp1at
Axl is working hard in the studio right now!
In the China Exchange interview he plainly said the band was not releasing music because there was no money in it. He didn't care about any of that back in the day, but suddenly now when he's loaded he has no interest in an album if he doesn't get paid.
There's no money in it because they can't write good enough music!

Maybe...but they did live hand to mouth for awhile...they know what that feels like...and that when they were creative.
That made 5 albums from 87-93...they've made none since other than random songs they play live.
And Chinese Democracy became a paper weight with 98% of 'fans.'
Re: New Album thread 2025 by sp1at
If I remember correctly Axl was still saying no to licensing deals in the early 2000s because it would cheapen the image. He certainly had commercial motivation from the very start, but it was not his everything then. Now he's sitting on more money than ever with zero interest in music production. His old pals are back, everything just laid out for him. It's like a chef who suddenly hates cooking. Slash, Duff are still doing shit. It might not be great, but they are musicians so they are doing shit. Wtf is Axl doing? What is he seriously spending all that free time on? Does he hate music? Legitimate question.
Re: New Album thread 2025 by sp1at
A brief 2025 tour (as Slash said in his most recent interview) from May to July, and then... what?
Nothing?... for the rest of the year?
Slash has nothing lined-up for the Fall. Duff has noting lined-up for the Fall.
If there are going to be more GN'R dates, we would be hearing rumors at least from the venues and t-shirt companies, etc.
Re: New Album thread 2025 by sp1at
Can anyone say they're surprised? I'm saddened with every year that goes by...these people are approaching their 70s. Axl is at least. The good old days are long gone. The absolute garbage that's considered popular and cool now couldn't be further from what Gn'R stood for. There's nothing left but reliving the good old days when they allow us. And that eventually gets stale.

What’s the chances that we get the next SMKC album before the new GNR album though. I’d say that’s a safe bet.

A couple of US dates briefly appeared a while back, then got removed. If you search hard on Google you'll find them. When I asked Livenation a while ago, they reiterated it was a world tour, as per the press release, but they've been quiet since. So, who knows
All is quiet

That would make it what, 3 SMKC albums since the reunion? Almost more albums than GnR has released songs.
