That is true, but I reckon with the right marketing strategy a new album could be very remunerative.
I really don't expect anything new, slash says he wants to make a whole new record but I don't see it ever happening, but they could effortlessly rework the village session into an album and make everybody happy.
The problem is they've shot their bolt as far as publicity is concerned by drip-feeding tracks with no sign of an album on the horizon. They should've just worked up all the available tracks, recorded a few more written with Slash and Duff, who are riff machines, and blasted an album out, with Hard Skool as the first single, followed by Atlas and Perhaps. Their strategy is baffling to me.

Yeah I would not be surprised, these rockers generally have some weird homes.
Nothing will ever top Joe Pesci's pad, though.

Wasn't oh my god already officially released?
I know is not on Spotify or doesn't appear on any official GNR album but its on a soundtrack isn't it?
Axl never saw it as a "finished" release, the record company effectively jumped the gun, overruled him and pushed a demo out. IIRC they've rehearsed OMG on this tour, and it's one of the tracks that he was tinkering with all through the Chinese Democracy era.
And there's precedent for multiple versions of a track being released; the original release of Knockin' On Heaven's Door on the Days of Thunder soundtrack is subtly different from the version that ended up on Use Your Illusion II.

It'll be Atlas, Perhaps, State of Grace and Oh My God, I reckon.

Back in the day (1994) Slash said that they had recorded a Hanoi Rocks song - only instrumentally - without being more specific:
Slash: We did a Hanoi Rocks tune but we decided not to put in on the album because we didn't wanna give Andy McCoy (former Hanoi guitarist) the money! McCoy's an asshole! The basic track was done but we never did any vocals on it. We also recorded a basic track on Iggy's 'Down On The Street', but we didn't finish that either. We stuck with 'Raw Power' — it just sounded cooler. [Kerrang! March 12, 1994]
The information that the Hanoi Rocks song was Beer and A Cigarette came from Michael Monroe (source: htgth):
MM: Yeah, “Beer And A Cigarette” but they thought Andy McCoy was too much of a prick to deserve the publishing money.
Yeah it exists but after reading that.... we're never getting either one.
Basic demos... no vocals...
Might as well just record new covers.
he was making out like he didn’t even know when Spaghetti Incident actually came out.
Is it really that surprising?
Its release was a non-event. Nobody cared. He probably stopped caring as well when his idea for a club tour to promote it was vetoed.
I dunno, I could see them digging those tracks out of mothballs for a Spaghetti Incident box set and getting Axl to record new vocals. They're clearly not averse to polishing old demos with new material; look at Shadow of Your Love.
#218 Re: Guns N' Roses » Would it still be cool if they played slower and toned it down » 128 weeks ago
That bit of the last tour where Axl was ill so he had to sing in the lower register sounded great, he was able to project loads of power in his voice. If he had to sing in lower register for the majority of the set and saved the higher register for the odd standout bit, I doubt most of the audience would even notice. And of the ones who did, 90% would understand why he was doing it.
#219 Re: Guns N' Roses » SOG single coming? » 128 weeks ago
If we get nothing by then.... it's over. Whatever "plan" they had got shit canned.
Just curious, how many times over the past… 20 years have hardcore fans said "it's over" unless x happens?

An industry news text went around claiming gnr are at Glastonbury next year with Arctic Monkeys and Elton John, Gnr on the Saturday, and the Glasgow date is still open, according to promoters. And there is no forthcoming solo Slash material or tour on the horizon, so it looks like GNR are possibly touring next year, at least. The online German dates and Oslo are fake though
Efestivals have changed the status for GNR and Arctic Monkeys to TBC for Glastonbury, they tend to know the headliners, so it looks like the text was right. There are also other stories around in other European countries of GNR playing, so it looks like dates are getting booked. Still nothing from the record label about future releases
It's a bit weird that they'd be doing a London festival date as well as Glastonbury. Thought the festivals normally liked exclusivity?
