Chinese Democracy aftermath

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I have search if this has done before but I couldn't find anything, so sorry if this was brought up before, fell free to merge in other thread.

The issue here is lets supposed Chinese Democracy is release next year, what happens next? after the tour after everything, does Axl will wait another 10 years to make a new album? will this be the last GNR record?, I know that the first concern is the release itself but I wonder what will happen next, ever though about it?

[Evolution]

If it was any other band i would say an extensive tour, maybe a year plus. Then studio for the follow up. But it's hard to see GNR on the road again for more than a month to be honest.

It's not a worry for me at this point, i'm happy with CD and at least one tour.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

But you think this will be last GNR record? I kinda get that feeling

[BaDoBsEsSiOn418]

Honestly, I think it depends on how well the album is received not only by fans but also critics.  If it does well, I'm sure another album won't be far ahead.  If not, well...

I dont wanna be a party-pooper, but I talked once about how much time is Axl gonna take after releasing CD to release another one. 
   But going back to the thread, Id like CD to be the last GNR album, and It would be cool to have a triple album, thatd great. In my not so humble opinion.

A triple album would be awesome and certainly make up for lost time!

A triple album would be too expensive and wouldn't sell well. Don't be naive, sure the music is the most important, but this album is also a question of $$$. Don't forget the record company invested 13 million $. A triple album would kill the commercial success. 3 different LP's would be a way better idea. Separate albums.

[C0ma]

Going under the assumption that CD is ever released (and you all know what happens when you assume) I really can't see him releasing a follow up album.

I think, even if he has an album in the can, it would be "outdated" material in his mind........ We would just begin another decade long process which would lead to a new band.

[Carlos_f_Rose]

I mean Axl could release a triple album, for the fans  . Or maybe release albums like Shakira did, the Oral Fixation 1, was released 3 months before the Oral Fixation 2, and both had high sells.

On the other hand, I think a reason why CD wasnt release was, cause Axl was really influenced by music from NIN and Nirvana, and when they werent part of the mainstream it delayed the album and I think this because of Silk Worms, a catchy song but not really elaborated.

[Mr. Dick Purple]

Yeah but that means that perhaps Axl would spent more time on releasing other album, so the wait comes longer 

[Ignatius]

I don't think Axl is looking beyond Chinese Democracy. Three years ago, he mentioned a double album, an album after that, tours...

That's changed. If he releases Chinese Democracy, that will be his main priority for a while. Depending on the response he gets, he might venture out another album, and then another. Axl's put too much in the recording of this album, that's why it's taking him so long to release the damn thing. If CD doesn't do well, he'll definitely retire. I'm sure he wouldn't have any trouble to release another record in a low budget label, or he could even start his own label and release another album for that matter, but, I don't think that'd be the case.

Axl's last 10 years will be on this album. It's all or nothing folks.

Axl was really influenced by music from NIN and Nirvana,

I thought Axl and Kurt nearly had a fight...

[shaun]

I really think that CD will be avaliable in the early part of 2006 

If CD don't happen in 2006 then it's never going to happen 

I would bet money CD is going to happen and GN'R will do some gigs, although i think a full blown tour is off the cards.

[RnT]

I think I already opened a thread some time ago about it... and I?ll say again:

GET READY FOR THE LAST GNR RIDE

 

[Carlos_f_Rose]

Yes, they almost fought, but, Axl liked Nirvana's  music, and he sometimes used a cap with the Nirvana logo on it.

[alternativemonkey]

Honestly, I think Axl has pushed this album into a joke. Any talk of a follow-up to an album that doesn't even exist his ridiculous. The man's day has passed.

[jimmythegent]

I hope it's one album (perhaps a double)

I think that would be enough

[icpillusions]

He will release the 2nd cd to the triple threat album.  Then the 3rd, then the final ep, then done.

[CAFC Nick]

He will release the 2nd cd to the triple threat album.? Then the 3rd, then the final ep, then done.

Sounds like a plan but whats your source on this?

I think If Chinese Democracy is the success that everyone hopes/anticipates it will be, then I dont see any reason in not believing a follow-up album would be too far off on the horizon. Whether it will be another long, and agonizing wait is something else all together though. As everyone else has said, in the end, a followup will probably be determined if its not already been written, by the reception of CD and how well GnR does on a worldwide scale. What would be even more interesting would be if CD is a huge success, and GnR fans and music fans in general are craving the follow-up, only one never comes...Axl leaves the world on a cliffhanger in other words
