I posted this in another thread. Here's what Duff thinks:



“I’m lucky I suppose,” said McKagan “my passion is also my living. This band has allowed all of us who might have been relegated to ‘you were in a good band but it’s over now’ file to show that we are still musically viable.”

Despite having been a key member in what many consider to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time McKagan is still hesitant about what lies ahead. “I never try to plan out my future. I’ve learned from experience,” McKagan said “there are so many different lives going on within a band. Some people have to go back to a family and kids. I hope that we will make a third album I really do. But if we don’t at least I can say it was a good time.”

Maybe VR is better suited for a good studio album with few tour dates so they can be with their families more.

my passion is also my living.  , I read that and just thought about how much that could really suck for a person if it goes down wrong. Damn LOL. I see VR putting out a new record of course each band member always has a different agenda , I mean scott said libertad was going to be a certain type of record , duff said it would be grooving , each person see's it in their own way. I just hope Slash is right lol!  Hopefully they'll stick to stuff in the contraband vein.

First off, I'm not one of these people constantly trying to catch Slash in a lie but.....since when did they tour for 2 1/2 years on Contraband.  That would imply that they toured straight through until the end of 2006.  I also wouldn't count on them working on the next album by April.  I'd bet Scott will be doing some solo thing first.

[lynn1961]

They started promoting Contraband as early as March and April of 2004 (Duff and Slash), and some of the last shows for that tour were done in the fall of 2006.  Do your math.   

As for another album, starting in April.  We'll see.  Maybe they'll do another one.  That would be good, but I think it will take awhile.  I try not to listen to all the different speculation, because that's just what it is.

I did my math.  They played a grand total of 5 dates in 2006 the last of which was in July.

haha ok ok....

This comment just shows pure ignorance... unless you have real and proper knowledge of a country and its story, you should never, ever, make statements like this one... I find this quite offensive. Maybe that´s cos I´m studying politics and am giving this too much importance but this sure really got into my nerve. He was trying to make a joke I guess.... Please Slash, next time stick to what you know: music. Oh well, oh well...

I don't think he meant it to be taken seriously.

Wow.... your comment shows pure ignorance. I'm sorry but you really think that was meant to be taken literal it was a fuckin' analogy ,

:wow things are getting harsh here"

:yup they must be turning communist."

I've said that about my school countless times ,  guess I shouldn't say it. Jesus people really it was a poke at stuff get over it.

Anyways a new VR album would be awesome , but this solo Slash project....hmmm that be sweet!

[Ines_rocks!]

Of course it was meant to be a joke. Of course it wasn?t made to be taken seriously. And of course I know that.

The thing is we have to be serious and cautious when we?re talking about a state, a country, being it a joke or not. It?s a serious matter. I?m sure that the japanese fans did found this joke really damn funny. Afterall they didn?t get the shows, but they got a very funny joke about their country. And I?m sure as well the high entities who are in control of the visas have also found this very funny. Afterall, this is a really mature way to handle this problem-making fun of the country in question.

Diplomacy fellows, diplomacy... that?s what I?m talking about. Maybe I got this too personally but this is how I see it, and in no way can you, whoever you are behind that username, call my view "pure ignorance". In the very least, you might disagree with it. That?s all. 

[Jizzo]

making a new record would be best for the band and its families. Making a record is more time spent at home.

and honestly, new music always is good for the fans

Good way to forget about Libertad and get out of a recording contract too for an STP reunion.

[GNRreunioneventually]

hopefully they can bounce back from libertad. Not that it was a bad album i can't say it is or isn't cuase really i haven't listened to it but i always hope for them to be in the lime light again as well as G'n'R.

That would be pretty fucking awesome if G'n'R and VR were both up for an award at the VMAs or Emmys or something. How its fun to dream

[AxlsMainMan]

I think they should try and bring Izzy back in for some recording sessions.

Scott would probably never allow such a thing, so he'd definately need to be kicked to the curb

EXACTLY...who in their right mind would take this comment seriously???

I've always thought that , it be cool to see Slash and Izzy back but 2 downfalls

1. If they are getting the VR and GNR comparsion and such NOW just imagine how it would be with izzy in the band! That would be billed as 4/5 of GNR....

2. They'd sound like too much of GNR , really SLASH and IZZY together....... 

EDIT: DAMN I didn't even think Slash Izzy AND Duff together , it would be WAYYYY too GNR sounding lol , I'd love to hear it but people would dog on it ALL the time , with reason too. Those 3 where the main backbone of the music , for the most part , i mean come on....

[Bodhi]

Well I hope they make a third record...because the last one really did suck...it has its moments...but Contraband was an amazing record...they should fire that producer...i believe they used the same one that STP used...Libertad was way too soft and vocally driven...i couldnt even hear the guitars in the mix...Contraband had ass kicking solos all over the place...If you have SLASH in the band...i would like to actually hear the guitars...but what do I know??

Either way I will be happy to get a third record out of this group...thats 2 more than I thought i was going to get back in 2003 when they first got together....
