New album as a 3-disc set

[badapple81]

Could be say a 3 disc set with sections as I said like 1998 to 2000.. or perhaps 'The Moby Sessions' with a couple of songs (just as an example, I know he only did like a song or something).

Or the 26 songs Axl mentioned with the rerecorded AFD.

I personally don't know about this. As long as it is the same price as a regular album. In some stores Live Era is like $40.00 Australian compared to around $25.00 to $30.00 for a new release.

the sections with the different producers would be great to hear but just for the people who waited so long for this. it's not that interesting for the people outside the gnr camp. maybe axl could do the different producers thing for the fans. i think that it would be a nice thing to do fot the people that kept hoping and supporting guns all this time.

i'm just glad he mentioned 3 discs again, after the korn party i began to think that wasn't going to happen. if they really have that much quality material that's awesome. i think it's smarter to release one album at a time, and i think that's what they'll do -- but i can see how releasing a 3cd set might be appealing too.. if the material is all as good as what we've heard, it would go a long way with silencing critics and establishing itself as something special.
either way i can't wait to buy it/them.

a 3 album release over any period of time makes me wonder how long their live sets are gonna be.  guns could play some long gigs as it was back in the day - but with this new stuff, thats a lot more songs to choose from!  I've seen Bowie and the Cure do 3 hour gigs with no support before - would LOVE for that much live GnR!

3 discs makes sense to me, Axl really wants to top everything guns did before now, So to beat UYI he has to release 3 cds.

Quantity can't top quality. Next time (around 2030) he'll release a 4 CDs set? 


BTW since we're talking about Axl, he'd better release everything at once so we'll hear the material in this decade.

Maybe it's Chinese Democracy combined with GH2 and a nice disc with scrap material or a live CD. Like a collector's item box. Then fans can choose: the box with three discs or only CD. Most people here would probably go for the three disc set, especially if the other discs contain interesting stuff, outsiders will probably buy the less expensive single disc. Would be a good marketing strategy, don't you think?

There'll probably be a limited edition of the album with a bonus disc/DVD like you get with most albums these days to assure high first week sales.

He just said in the Rolling Stone interview he's working on 32 songs so he would have to release multiple albums. He said in the interview the 13 songs had already being selected for CD. So why work on 32 - he clearly plans more than one album

This is the second time he has mentioned three CD's - the last time at a concert where he said he would release them seperately.

He said just recently only 13 songs were slated for CD - therefore no double or triple album - they will be released seperately.

I remember after the Rolling Stone interview, people were wondering what he was gonna do with 32 tracks. Mysteron, said that, according to management, Axl was working on two albums; CD and its successor.

All this evidence points to three seperate albums. This seems sensible. He has spent so much of his life working on this. If he released all at once and then tour - what will he do then. Go back to the studio and spend another ten years. Releasing them seperately allows him to take a long break from the studio.

Also, Chinese Democracy probably will only have 13 songs on it. That doesn't mean that it can't be part of a three cd set. CD = 2 others. Buy them separately or all together.

Maybe he wants to do like the Clash did with Sandanista! and sell a three cd set for the price of a double album?

who knows what the fucker will do?   Merck?  Doug?  Slash?    ....Axl?

already know that. But thanks anyways

Like I said the three cd set does not mean all at the same time, its going to  be released over a few years time. Interscope makes the most money out of releasing three cds over 3  or so years than release all three at once.

Hopefully so. it also allows the fans time to digest each cd n song.

it isn't even certain that he did say 13 songs were slated for the first album, nor is it clear that there wouldn't be the other songs that they were not working on anymore then.

It is the RS web that said 13 of the 32 songs that GNR were working on then were slated for "the final album", whatever the final means.
You wouldn't find the bit on the printed version of the article.
