They've shown no indication of doing this. The record company has to agree to put it out, and if it isn't much, much better than CD, it
s not coming out.
i agree it primarily rests w/the label when & if there is a new album. but i also agree w/aussie's thinking, that now they're more invested the lebeis's could theoretically help get an album made & ready.
i also don't know whether quality is an essential criteria to the label releasing the album. even if they could make an album w/12 SCoM's on it, i'd suspect the label would have reason to keep it back. there's just too much nonsense, business bs & money, traded between the label & GnR/Axl for it to just be, "ok it's good enough, let's release it & go". what im saying is, there's more to the label's decision than just whether the new album is 'good enough'.

Notice how Dizzy appears to be either stoned and/or taking a piss at the situation while Tommy evades the camera.
lol x2 that's brilliant.
big bands defo need to do more of that silly beatles-esque press conference. they're almost always gold & show a funny side of the band we don't often get to see otherwise.
like, specifically, axl. he almost always comes across as a fun guy in interviews, but he hate's them. well, in fairness, you can count on mick wall etc. to paint it black, as it were, but i'd say when he's got the support of his bandmates or baz he's a fun guy. & under those circumstances maybe he would open up (& if it was a decent journalist they'd eventually ask the interesting/follow-up questions).
my point is, the press isn't all bad & can be put to good use.
(does axl really believe "there's no such thing as bad publicity"? i think it's more he's generalised & demonised the press as out to get him & he doesn't need them enough to warrant dealing w/them.)

Fernando needs to chill out a little bit.. Family members and band members have their off days too. It was cool for Ron to thank the fans and defend Axl.
well for fernando's inane nutterspeak maybe it'd be fair to highlight ron's possible disingenuous remark about, " Made a lot of new friends that I hope I'll be seeing soon..." - what i mean is, just last week he was glad to get off tour??
i know he was just being polite, but not an honest thing to say. just nitpicking btw.
the fernando thing is wholly depressing tho. just everything he says & represents.. it's like it's sad axl's so fucked-up that it's come to this guy running the show.

y'know people wouldn't be talking about this stupid fucking shit if they had other things to discuss.
this Ron thing has gone on for a week now. & it's really fucking nothing exciting or even remotely interesting, really. just been a way for mindless speculating & bullshitting & has now gotten blown out of all proportion.
Fucking Hell.
what a load of boring bullshit.
release some fucking tunes already. christ almighty!

<3 OIAM
he does need to bring the rock back tho.. D is on to something there in fairness to him..
#2178 Re: Guns N' Roses » Tour or album » 745 weeks ago
Regression hits anyone.
The most dangerous band in the world is now (among other things) a cover band playing weddings.
When you look at the lineup pictured in Reckless Road, or, say, Rock in Rio 2, you could never imagine that would become the case.
that's painfully sad.

The thing about a pain condition is there's so much more to it than the actual pain.
It's the psychological stress of being in constant pain - firstly, you loose "fun" in your life - because the pain is always there - all the times a normal person 'switches off' like when you watch a movie or play a song and go into the world of the song/movie - you can't do that because the pain snaps you back to concentrating on your physical presence.
Secondly, you loose hope because your NEVER free from it and you know there's no way out in our world.
Thirdly, you have the psychological pressure of knowing that you didn't used to be in pain - you remember how easily you lived your life, how you could forget about your body, how you could do simple things without the terrible consequences doing them can have now. Then you start to envy people who still can.
Fourthly, most people with pain problems also can't sleep well cos of the pain - which aggravates the stress on the mind.
Fifthly, the world is designed for people who are not in pain - so things like holding down your job, going about your day, they are a thousand times harder with endless pain and the reality is that most people just plain do not understand not only the physical cost of it but the MENTAL strain.
And that's why ANYTHING ron says at this point to me is understandable. I'm sure he loves Axl and the guys...and I'm sure he - more even than us - wants a shot to contribute to the legacy - wants GNR to be all it could and so on - and the way stuff plays out could well be just as frustrating to him as it is to fans - but because of the physical and mental stress he's under...sometimes he cracks and lets you see how much he suffers.
Seriously unless you've experienced a similar condition I don't think you should judge him. The fact that he's hanging on and still doing good stuff for fans like the surprise presents and things is fucking well saintly...most people in his shoes would have packed it in.
Mate u make it sound like he doesn't have a choice.
From what I can tell he's made his choice but still publicly moans about his situation.
I just don't see why it's a justifiable outburst. If he'd been asked his opinion then it'd maybe be a little diff, but the manner he conducted himself & what he said was outta line. Why go public w/that shit? Y'know?
