Here Today... Gone To Hell!

GUNS N' ROSES keyboardist Dizzy Reed says that the band is in the process of putting the finishing touches on new music that will "hopefully" be released "really soon."

The last GUNS N' ROSES album, "Chinese Democracy", came out in 2008 and ended a 17-year gap between collections of all-new material.

Singer Axl Rose, Reed and other members of the current lineup have hinted at material recorded during the "Chinese Democracy" sessions that has yet to surface.

Speaking to VH1 Radio Network's Dave Basner earlier this week, Reed said: "There's a lot of material that's already done and I think it's in the process of being finished and eventually we'll pick out which songs need to come out with which other songs. So that's in the works. Hopefully it will be out really soon."

How many times have we heard that one?

And how many times have we heard that one (of yours )?


No offence but the first post was a positive thing.
The second post is not.

I do agree that we hear things over and over again but we better be positive  :beer:

I am not sure I see your point. Negativity does not come into it, nor does positivity really. I am merely replying to the above.

Listen, Dizzy, Fortus and Ashba constantly repeat this exact same statement on a, month-by-month basis. They have been doing so since 2009. Correct? Now (I will keep this simple and generalised for clarity),

- In 2009 Ashba says, ''we are always working on material and hope to release something soon''. 2009 does not deliver.

- In 2010 Dizzy says, ''we are always working on material and hope to release something soon''. 2010 does not deliver.

- In 2011 Fortus.....you see my point?

Don't you see? There is an element of ''the boy who cried wolf'' here. The laws of empiricism would indicate that this statement is also a damp squib like the previous three hundred statements of a similar ilk. At some point you have to wake up and realise that we are being led up a blindalley. What year would that take - 2021 and the exact same scenario? 2030? 

Fuck yeah! I hope his hunch that it may come soon turns out to be correct! I can really use the inspiration from a new CD caliber album in my life ASAP!

Yeah yeah, they've said it before, I know. But honestly, I think it's good for one to be excited about something, whatever it is. Good for the body, good for the mind. Even if it doesn't come out soon, I'll still be excited about it. It's something for me to look forward to. I think it's good to have something to look forward to.

Yeah, they used up most of their benefit of the doubt.

But I'd rather hear it than not.

Yeah, I'd much rather hear this than "Sorry guys, we decided to close up shop and go home. No new album ever." or nothing at all. It could very well be true. We got some good signs going this time around. GNR taking a break from touring (this may be a sign they have time to work on the album, or maybe they are just taking a 100% break, idk), Axl commenting on the release of new material, and other band members commenting about it as well. Things are definitely looking up.

Do they usually say "really soon", or do they just say "soon"? Sure would be epic if it was released on the anniversary of CD in November. I'll be partying that day either way, it's kind of a tradition for me.

Something is better than nothing.

This is good news. Dizzy knows what he's talking about. He wouldn't say they're putting finishing touches if nothing was happening. 2015 is gonna be a good Guns-year  :beer:

Yeah they have been saying it forever, but at least they are still saying it! lol :beer:

I totally see mortismurphys point here, because this is something we've heard since CD was released. But at the same time it's only on the level of "hopefully" and "I think". And it's not about being positive or negative, because we all hope there would be something released as soon as possible and we want to keep it positive, but you also have to be realistic. Maybe the guys are just tired of the question "when is the next album coming out" and these kinds of answers are all they can give at the moment without answering "we don't want to tell you".

It's not "we don't want to tell you"... It should be  "I have no clue when it will be released, i'm not privy to that information or involved with that decision"

Which we all know is true... so whenever a band member says anything regarding the album... you have to take it with a grain of salt.

Great post, agree 100%

The only one to listen to on the matter is Axl, because he's the big chief.

Its why I felt his interview earlier this year was an event, and the others saying this sort of thing is sort of shoulder shrug city.

Once again, the old "they're not allowed to/shouldn't talk" versus "they talk too much".  :hihi:

No, I think it's more of the "empty talk with no results" routine.  I got no problem with any band member giving interviews, but they've been talking this same talk for years and nothing has happened.  At some point, it takes on a boy that cries wolf reaction.

Well, you know, some people are great at spinning things. But for some reason I don't see them spinning this into "at least people are still interested in it and asking about it". Wonder why?

Because no matter how many times you say "it's empty talk with no results", that's what it boils down to. There's still interest in it. So the questions get asked.



/jarmo

Yep.

I'd rather hear this than nothing, I suppose.  But I'm not going to get all funny in the pants over something DJ or Dizzy says on their own given the lack of track record.

Axl talking this way is the key, which he did this year.  It was great.  Yet if next year comes and goes with nothing, we know Axl wasn't serious either.  

Then we can stop listening to everybody and just make the best of the Appetite For Lies & Illusions Of Democracy tour.

Then maybe take that as positive sign and get your ass in gear, perhaps.

People lose interest with every passing month.  Might as well get on the stick while you still have someone still caring.

I have no issues with any past or current GN'R member anyway it's just frustrating to read the interviews.

Why do you reply to my posts since you don't want me to reply to yours?

jarmo and D-GenerationX are so lovely to each other they should have a date or bromance

I have no problem with you replying to my posts.

We have like 10 posters here, dude.  I can't get too choosey.

You at least try to have a conversation, even if its mostly sticking to state run media talking points.  I can work with that. 

Its not like you are Emily firing off personal insults and juvenile name calling as an opening statement.  That goes nowhere.

State run media as opposed to you being Fox News?  :P



/jarmo

I smell sitcom.  Maybe a morning radio show.

I see you more like Infowars than a true state run media.  You have to accept a lot of goofy premises before you even get started here.

Not really.

It's pretty simple logic:

If you come here, you're a fan of the band and respect other fans who come here.
You're not here because you don't like the band and like to spread shit about the band or its members.

If your belief is that everybody else is right and GN'R is always wrong, you're on the wrong fan site.....



/jarmo

Well, I obviously don't think GNR is always wrong.  Nothing in my posts supports that strawman.

What I do think, is that there are some things that can be criticized or even just questioned and kicked around.  My posts most certainly do support that mindset.  And its not met with a steady stream of anger and rage, so I don't think I have a real beef with the gang here at large.

Considering this band isn't GN'R in your opinion, you're kind of already an outsider.


/jarmo

I don't think that you are doing the same. Or you can disprove it?

Jarmo tends to be snippy with people, but only if you take a certain approach in what you say.

He is well with in his right in that regard...it's his house. You wouldn't like it if somebody attacked people you have relationships with when they come to where you live.

Don't be foolish.

I've been running this fan site for 18+ years and I need to prove to you that I respect GN'R fans?
Sometimes people like to come here and shit on GN'R and everything we do here, and I need to prove that I respect GN'R fans?

No, I don't have a lot of respect for so called fans who are posting shit about GN'R only to make a name for themselves. And I don't understand how any fan would stand for that kind of behavior.
