Once and for all, 3 albums or 1 album??? What do you think?

[mikegiuliana]

Once and for all just say what you are expecting, are you someone that believes axl has been at this for about 6 years because he is working on 3 albums which he will release one every year, or is he just never able to finish one album over 6 years..?

I believe it's one album, just they had tons of material (like riffs and beats) and just made one from all the stuff they had..
No one is right or wrong just give your opinion, or interpertation of axl's statements..

FInally would you be let down if all this wait was for one album?

There is no other albums - its unlikely there is even one.

It's funny neither Dizzy or Tommy have heard of these ''other albums''

[coondogg]

I don't care if he has three or a hundred. All I want is one. If he never releases another one, fine by me. After all this time I would like to have at least one new cd.

[Naupis]

I have no doubt they have multiple albums worth of material, but that doesn't mean they will have 3 completed albums before they release just one. Besides, if the music for the 3rd album was written in 2001 and doesn't see the light of day until 2006,7 it will most likely sound dated anyway as you always get new ideas on the road...or change your course of action depending on how the fans respond. The main concern should have been getting your best 15 songs and releasing them instead of trying to plan for future releases that will most likely depend on the success of the first album anyway.

I just wanted some insight from the entire forum, I really wanted to know what everyone is expecting, what they tell friends, what they truly believe, ect..

How can gnr music sound dated??

I don't think they have been working on 12 songs for years and never gotten them finished.

Think about it, "Oh My God" was released in 1999. Do you think that was the only song they had recorded at that point?

The album was almost done at that point so there must've been more.

I think that they are focussed on one, but there is other material that Axl has designated for follow ups (I can't believe I'm actually talking about follow ups when they can't even get the first released).

Part of my reasoning is all of the orchestral tracks - I don't think he will put them all on one album.

Perhaps this is the music version of the Lord of the Rings Films, or maybe I've been smoking too much of the good stuff

I agree in 1999 when he did his interview with kurt loder he described the sound of cd when he was launching omg, the only possible thing I could think of is he scrapped it because omg wasn't taken so well.. I just remember it was knocked on my local radio station and within a few months it was gone like end of days..

The thing is he has only spoken of cd in most interviews even saying how close it was to coming out, then in 2002 it semed further then ever.. The vmas was aug 2002, the tour wouldn't have ended till 2003 then more recording after the tour, tour was cut short and it still never panned out.. You figure witht eht our being cut short it would have spd upo recording to an album which had to already be close to done being they did some touring (cd tour 2002).. Sure bh left but how much could have possibly been left..?

It just always seemed that cd was coming out since 99, and each year after cd was mentioned.,..

[ppbebe]

I guess they have enough materials for more than a few albums (but some of which may not worth releasing).

FInally would you be let down if all this wait was for one album?

No. But I definitely prefer they release more n more.

It's funny neither Dizzy or Tommy have heard of these ''other albums''

Where did they say that?
funny I haven?t heard of either Dizzy or Tommy talking about their no-''other albums''.
Actually Tommy's dropped a hint as to the second album.

Good point.  I remember interviews from Brian May and Moby dating from 99 saying the album was done.  There has to be more.

[Wooody]

Whether axl has recorded 1 or 50 albums is irrelevant,(although I remember Moby said there was material to release at least 7 albums) 
What we get is the only thing that matters.

I believe we'll get one. Then the little girl will start crying out for WOLF..but that album will never see the light of day. maybe in 10 years we'll get an unreleased boxset like the newest Nirvana box. But of course that means axl will have to die. Or geffen will have to sue him or something.

Dizzy and tommy have both mentioned the three albums, so you are wrong.

They've also mentioned the album being released this side of the end of the universe, so I think we can establish that they don't have a clue what the fuck they're talking about.

[ppbebe]

Dave, thanx for clearing it up. So this horse is not Dead in fact.
 
Can you tell me where they said that? I wanna read.

Ta!

[norway]

this what axl said in the omg-era

We've been working on, I don't know, 70 songs

 The record will be about, anywhere from 16 to 18 songs, but we recorded at least two albums' worth of material that is solidly recorded

or listen to the london thing

or the press people who claims thousands of hours

[oneway23]

All depends upon the reaction to the first offering...I'm sure there are THOUSANDS OF FRAGMENTS FOR HUNDREDS OF SONG IDEAS, but I doubt very much we're speaking about multiple albums worth of releasable material here....It's a really morbid thing to be wishing death upon someone though...I hope he's on death's door as we speak...

[norway]

but 13 mill has to go somewhere,

I think there's a lot thats been pro-recorded in 00-04

Well, even Axl said, once, that the album was gonna be released "next summer". It don't means he don't know how many songs they have... don't make confusion between the release date and the number of songs.

Maybe Tommy and Dizzy are not the only ones that don't have a clue what the fuck you're talking about... ?
