Maybe 3 or even 4 albums.....suggested by a few insiders now

[mrbucketfoot]

Yeah, I really want to hear the electronica/industrial album as well. I miss the old "werra-werra-weeeeeee" before they kick into 'Chinese Democracy' but the new intro makes sense for a first song on an album and builds some great tension coupled with the scream.

My impression is that the album Chinese Democracy, the first album was going to be a more classic rock sound updated for the 21st Century. In a way classic Guns with a good mixture of sounds from hardcore songs to ballads, awesome well-written lyrics, and everything we've come to love about GNR. Then I think that the 2nd album will be the darkest and the most electronica/industrial. Axl talked about reworking and renaming "Silkworms" which according to Axl's then-girlfriend was her favorite song. I'd also expect "Rhiad and the Bedouins" and "Oh My God" to be on it. I really hope they rework Oh My God a little bit and obvious record with the new band because I love that song's potential and the lyrics.

Then the third album, I have no idea. We can confirm that "The General" is on it, thanks to Baz.

U know though

Silk Worms and Oh My God are two of my favs

Ill take those two over IRS

[SLCPUNK]

They were great live, when I heard them years back.

[mrbucketfoot]

I like IRS a lot too, I don't think you can compare them though. They're totally opposite in sound and no one really knows how they'll sound when they're released so yeah.

[GNRreunioneventually]

i just hope that after CD theres a Use Your Illusions III with all Industrial/techno/pittman and dizzy's Synth type of shit

then maybe another greatest hits in 2013 and in 2014......lies II? or a DVD release of all the shit thats happened and went down from 1998 till when ever CD is released. And they shall call it Apetite for Chinese

[mrbucketfoot]

I hope that you're intoxicated or on some sort of medication. No band, let alone one with new members, releases sequels to albums 15 years after the originals.

Sorry pal.

[alejoyp]

Though that Axl said several times that the industrial stuff they did wouldn't be released... isn't he?
Also think that Josh Freese was very involved with that stuff n' used some of it in A Perfect Circle after leaving Gn'r with the allow of Axl (he is in the thanx on the first APC album, Mer de noms)

Dude, Use Your Illusions man


think about it, that title just fits what would be on an industrial album. It would just work

as for Apetite For Chinese, they could have behind the scenes, in the studio, footage of them writting recording, re-recording, anything and everything they have. think of how Kick ass that would be it could also have on it how and why everything that leaked leaked and who did it and shit like that........God that would kick ass

You have no idea...

As far as the 3, 4 album deal is concerned...

It's my opinion that there isn't a classic rock/industrial/operatic album.  I just think they will use whatever songs they have that will flow the best they can on said record.  I think there will be a little bit of everything on every album.

[The Prez]

I would be already be satisfied when 1 album is ever going to be released 

BUT

if they have more than 1 album ready, then c'mon, release them all together and into one CD-box set! Why not? That would already make enough promotion to have a for example 4-CD-box release with new material. And you should be able to buy or CD 1 - CD 2 - CD 3 - ... seperately but when you buy them all together you should have a nice discount and a 'cool CD-box' with it....

[Atillla]

That's what I was thinking, that would be the best 

[Cuzon]

In terms of sales i think releasing them once a year would work out better. If you release them all at once you have a big bang, but then it fizzles out and dies(much like the St Anger album and Oasis's Be Here Now). Releasing them a year apart allows the record company to milk out the albums making a maximum profit. I think that one of the releases will be a 2 disk record or have a bonus disk packed in. But hey, we don't even have the first record yet or word of a release date...

[ppbebe]

I go with the latest Richard info that three albums are already done to be released separately, which seems to be the plan axl has had from the early stage.

It's a complex album, different from any other one.
it will take people some time to digest each release.

plus I'd love their harvest time to last long than short.

[Lesty]

I think part of the length of negotitions between new management and the label is pricely because of the amount of material involved. If we had 12 songs, this thing might be figured out by now.
And with today's day and age, anything is possible.
We could see a new CD in stores, with a digital only album online later in the year, perhaps an EP available only at concerts sometime down the road, too.
I'm sure they're going to maximize the profit potential as much as possible and with the old structure of how to release and market CDs a thing of the past, Im sure they'll find some creative avenues to get all of the music released.

[Farid Bak]

Axl, well GNR owes the record company one record right, maybe they are negociating the price for the other ones..
Give them hell Rose

[ppbebe]

are you sure about the one record right?

A trilogy sounds great !!! though I hope that when a release date is announced for
CD1 -
they also announce that there are more to follow.
That would remove any negative press about how much it cost and how long it has taken.
Personally I have never wanted this released until Axl was happy with it all:
Material
Band members
label deal

agreed. and I imagine when we hear the release date for the first one, we'll also here more about the successors.

reportedly Richard told the Japanese magazine that the band and the label hadn't struck an agreement about the way of releasing it but? maybe they are setting up the few releases all together. Just a thought.

i just hope that after CD theres a Use Your Illusions III with all Industrial/techno/pittman and dizzy's Synth type of shit

my 'contact' told me that a song called 'lame joke' should be on it.

Sorry pal.

Meatloaf released Bat Out Of Hell II, 20 years after Bat Out Of Hell.  Both albums went to number 1.

Not to mention Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime II, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells II and III, Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene 7-13, (does Beatles' Let it be ... naked count?) and those are just the ones off the top of my head. There must be even more, for sure.

My God, lets pray we don't get anything even remotely akin to Meatloaf's recent work. Thank God we know the leaked stuff is good.

[mrbucketfoot]

Okay, unless you're Meatloaf, no one releases sequels to albums decades later. And he's his own band, so you ruined it all.

Ruiner.
