new gnr

well i guess all of you are experts then because the label is abuzz over what Chinese Democracy could be. Moby, Roy Thomas Baker, and Brian May have all worked on the new guns n roses record and have said publicly that it is some unbelievable work. May even wondered why Interscope hasn't released it already; he believed it was that good. I guess those guys don't know what they are talking about...

personally, considering that Axl took so long to lay down november rain and estranged (two of the very best guns songs) i am not surprised this project has stretched on for years. I think alot of people critique the new guns because it is somewhat chic to bash axl; it is easy because we hardly ever hear a peep from him. Alot of the rumors about him are clearly false (hair plugs, lipo....) but it is more fun and everyone appears to be smarter if we badmouth him.

I am sure when CD comes out and blows away the critics like it promises to, alot of you will come back and extol how great Axl is and how GnR was really his baby. New young fans will flock to the shows and proclaim that they were always there.....but those of us that have stuck by the band all this time, thru all the ****e, know the difference between fair weather and hardcore fans. We wear our buckets proudly now and take your ridicule and criticism knowing full well that you will come back to the primal serpentine dance.

My only advice is to watch what you say and have an open mind because bashing the new gnr without having really heard it (we only heard 5 bootlegged concert tracks) is unfair to the band and unfair to the hardcore fans who have waited 8 years for this album, thru all the fighting and lawsuits. We all want rock to succeed again and a killer GnR record will do wonders for the rebirth of rock n roll.

I agree! Chinese Democracy, or what they will finally call it, are going to blow us away!

Am with you buddy. Am not a true true origonal fan. Ive liked them since about 1997, when they basically broke up. Since them ive been bought all the albums and solo projects, took up guitar, started an awesome collection of Guns n Roses vinyls.
Its true, Guns will totally re-invent rock n roll. There is no other band out there on track to do that. The new album will the fastest selling, biggest selling of all time. Its simple, everyone who bought appetite, everyone who liked sweet child, everyone who see's Axl on TV will go out and buy the album!!!
I dont think some people really realise how successfull they were. Two albums at no.1 and no.2 in UK and US at the same time, never been done.
The album.. just imagine!! I bet it comes out on vinyl, numbered, limted edition, picture discs, carved wooden boxes!!!!!
Then the european tour, i have tickets, cant wait!!!

torby

you have tickets for the european tour? that was cancelled dude!
I think the album will be great but it won't sell too much. GNR will have to compete against pop and nu metal bands and and people will download the hole album from internet.
Anyway, lets hope we get some oficcial news during the year, maybe some single?

European Tour was cancelled months ago - Axk said he never knew about and only found out on the internet.

I agree new GnR will be cool though

ah they pick their nose

Duh!! of course i know the tour was cancelled. but the tickets are still valid for the re-shedule!!

It was never rescheduled again.. It was totally cancelled.. I returned my tickets months ago..

The Rock in Rio 3 concert was recorded....it's available in magizines in a 2 CD set for $45. From what I've heard of it, the older material sounds the same, the new material is....well....it doesn't sound like Gn'R.....it sounds like Axl and Robin Finck and Buckethead, who pull off a couple of very cool solo's, and a strong rythym section. In a newspaper article, the writer says of "Oh My God," "..Rose's voice is like an 80 year old woman with emphysema..." I thought "Oh My God" was a great tune. At Rock in Rio, it did sound a little odd, though.....maybe that's the reason they pulled out of the tour. They did a New Year's show at the House of Blues in Vegas bringing in 2002. Rolling Stone gave the show a great review. I guess they've gotten in a groove.....now if only they'd get the damn'd cd out.....

For all you guns fans around here. You can download the San Diego show from 1987 (mp3) on my GnR Board (http://scandinavian.proboards6.com)..

I have the Rio video and GNR sounded cool and looked cool but I miss Slash.
