GNR Plans For 08?

[JDA]

Same thread diff. name.  I think all GN'R websites should shut down until cd comes out.

LOL. I had a few long drinks and started writing something, and then realized I could get banned for what I was about to say. So I'm just gonna say it like Axl would: IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT WHY DID YOU COME? Have you no self control at all? Just stop reading. It's your choice!

  

Your drinking in the morning?

that's an early start lol.

[fuckin crazy]

Nothing like watching the Sun come up with a bottle of your favorite booze.

I'd love for GNR to get back on tour, but at this point I think they've covered the world on tour, based on "Hey, were still here, come out and hear Axl sing the classics, and oh yeah, check out these new songs, more to come".

I think we need official confirmation of imminent release of the album, not just a release date, but a official recording of a new song. Not necessarily as an 'official single', even just a streaming download on the GNR website kind of like "exclusive brand new GNR song from the forthcoming album" (which i guess should probably be "Better" or "Madagascar" since most people are familiar with those songs) Then they should release some sort of a documentary or an EPK (i think thats what they call it) on their website, which is kind of a press kit with interview clips of the band, and clips of studio versions of new tracks, and then they can go on a tour, and whatever other promotional/marketing leading to the release of a single (iTunes exclusive or whatever) and then the album

You know, even putting a single up on iTunes would allow some $$$ to start being generated for the album, as well as to build interest for the (eventual release).  However, if the problem is allegedly that no label wants to take the financial risks associated with the album, then nothing can happen until that particular (and substantial) stalemate ends, correct?  Sheesh.

Yeah bazgnr, thats right from what I've read.

It was Thursday night on this side of the Globe.  But yes, one can also drink in the morning. Been there, done that. 

[Megaguns]

im sure that the plan is to release it this year, cmon people.... it is the first time that it has been confirmed as done by a reliable source....


i think   

[Jaci_Roxx]

Um... I'm just very, very confused right now. 

[faldor]

Now I'm not trying to start anything, and I don't believe this will happen, but Keith Roth (DJ on Sirius) just gave his thoughts on GNR for '08.  Now again, he has no inside knowledge or anything, don't wanna freak anyone out.  He feels that the breakup of Velvet Revolver/STP reunion will happen.  Chinese Democracy will "hit plastic" (whatever that means) in the summer.  And the old band will reunite and play sold out stadium shows.  Personally, I don't see why Axl would release an album with the band he's been working with the last few years, then just revert back to the old lineup.  Doesn't make any sense to me.  Don't know if the DJ truly believes it either.  Most likely just trying to fill up airtime.

[ToonGuns]

NO MORE TOURS!

MORE TOURS! (plus album)

MORE TOURS ! ! ! (regardless of album)

Wasn't there some kind of info that hinted at a South America tour in the latter half of 2008?

Sounds like a joke to me, or maybe he has no clue of what he's talking about.

Well I can see where he's coming from...

1. Scott Weiland has said in the Miami Herald that the STP reunion will happen and an announcement will be made within the next few months - probably after the Velvet Revolver upcoming European tour. That means, at least temporarily, that VR will be put on hold.

2. Slash has said he is going to work on a solo album amongst other things over the next year or so.

3. Brain has rejoined Buckethead.

4. Frank Ferrer and Richard Fortus have rejoined Pisser and have announced a few shows.

5. Bumblefoot is back in the studio working on his new solo album due for release 2008.

6. Dizzy's been back for a few shows with Hookers N Blow.

So where does that leave us? Well it means that the majority of the current members of GnR are going off doing their own things, while VR is coming to an end leaving the majority of old GnR with nothing going on and everything falls into place nicely for a reunion!




That said... I don't believe it will happen.








Ever.

3. Brain has rejoined Buckethead.

Excuse the ignorance, but I thought Brain was working with Serj Tankian now.

I think all 3 of those have all worked together on projects before too

[Fingers]

I think the members on new GNR will always do projects on the side, Weiland will probably go back to VR eventually (STP has imploded several times before)-I think none of these things have any impact on original GNR reuniting

[Jaci_Roxx]

And what else is there to do as a musician, if there's no tour at the moment and the recording for CD is done? It doesn't mean they can't do some gigs etc to promote the album if it's out this year.

BTW, don't you guys think Bumblefoot should release his solo album after CD? It'd do much better in my opinion, people would be much more aware of it, if you know what I mean...
And don't be a smart ass and say that he wants it out before 2050.
