Tom Waits announces record details

Tom Waits has announced that he is to release his new album, 'Real Gone', on 4 October.


The follow-up to 2002's 'Alice' and 'Blood Money', 'Real Gone' was produced by Waits and his wife and collaborator Kathleen Brennan.


Waits describes the album as "a homogeneous concoction of mood elevators, mind liberators and downers, an alchemical universe of rattling chains, oscillating rhythms and nine-pound hammers".


Among the musicians joining Waits on the album are longtime bassist Larry Taylor, former Guns 'n' Roses drummer Brain Mantia, Primus bassist Les Claypool and guitarist Marc Ribot, who returns for his first full collaboration with Waits since 1985's seminal 'Raindogs' album.

I realy hope thats just a typo.If it's true this isn't good at all.I think if brian is gone they could get josh freese from APC because I think maynyrd is going back to tool anyway.

[AxlGunner]

fyi, fortus and brain will be touring together with BT starting around august/september. I think that should be an encouraging sign, no?

[Naupis]

True or not does anyone think that these guys have just grown tired of doing absolutely nothing. I mean Brain said his stuff was recorded back in like 00-01. So he has been sitting around for the better part of 3-4 years doing nothing but side stuff. Maybe he is just ready to move on. If this is true the only person to blame is Axl, same thing as with Bucket. If you bring these guys in to be in a band, you've got to expect they are going to want to play the shit they wrote. Telling them to wait years upon years while you continue to screw around is not the best way to run a band as evidence to the fact we still have no new album after all this time.

[AdZ]

Maybe Axl fired him?

Josh is playing with the Vandals on the Warped Tour (he was quoted in some news article about that tour), but maybe that's just a temp. gig for him.

I thought Brain is still "on contract" like Buckethead whereas Josh signed out on amiable terms, apparently.

[Mysteron]

Brain is still with gnr

[Izzy]

Who cares if he's in the band or not - they can just get another - there up to 3 all ready with CD, one more really ain't gonna matter.

Brain is still with gnr

[Dave_Rose]

I hate this word ... "still" ...

[killingvector]

if they are contracted for the next five years, I will believe brain and bucket are still in gnr. If they are running out their contract, that's a different story. From day one I believed brain and bucket were a unit; they couldn't work on their side projects with a divide between them over gnr. Doesn't mean any of them are out, but it makes you wonder if they have any intention of answering to Axl's call when the time comes.

Josh has been playing with the Vandals for many years.

pheew! glad to hear it! Brain is by far my fav member of this new incarnation of GN'R...well, him and Axl of course!

[F*ck Fear]

I was thinking he was still in GN'R after reading a review of one of the Tommy shows when buddy talked to Fortus
