The prospect of a new album thread

[Halo69]

there won't be a new album this year, I'd love to be wrong but I don't think I am in this case

or the so called remix album as Brain said.

Honestly though.. there isn't even a name for the next album announced... it certainly doesn't come out this year...

[wadey]

I could see a US tour in August and a new album in NOvember... why not?

do you think its possible with the UK festival dates?

[faldor]

Anything is possible, but I'm not buying into this yet.  We're in rampant and pure speculation mode right now.  Reading into tweets and such.  Are they hinting at things without really telling us exactly what's going on?  Quite possibly.  And people make valid points on both fronts.  Axl DID say he thought of CD as a double album and would like to release the follow up and continue to tour for some time.  Then again, he did say he'd like to focus on CD and tour it properly.

Obviously I'd LOVE a new album, and it would probably be huge news.  I mean it took 10+ years for them to release CD and then just 2 years for the follow up?  All things considered, that's not too bad.  But, I'm not holding out much hope at this point.  I'll just enjoy the ride, wherever it takes us.  And I'm still patiently awaiting them to come back and tour the US, new album or not.

yeah but the 10 years wasn't just Axl fucking around in a studio

in that time span he had to find a new band, make them all gel, go through all sorts of legal issues etc.

I don't know why people think its gonna take Axl 10 years to release any album in the future.

[svdv22]

For some reason I've always been very curious about 'Ides of March', I don't know why really
The title just got a nice ring to it. I think this will be a grand epic song, but since I based this on absolutely nothing I could very well be totally wrong

[CheapJon]

I don't think people do, I think people think that Axl thinks he and the band haven't given CD the time it deserves, promotion/touring wise etc. That's the reason to why I think an early-mid 2011 release is the earliest

Sorry to be a kill-joy but I think - in the absence of any real indication of a new album from the band -  threads like this are counter-productive.

Fans hopes get raised, get dashed and the band gets flak.

True. Also, if there's one thing I've learned for being a guns n' roses fan is to "better hold my breath for jesus, as the pay off may be that much greater". It's useless trying to predict what will happen, when it will happen or in what order it will happen.

[banachkevin]

just think a few years back we were wondering if we would ever see a new CD or material. now we got that and a tour just relax ok enjoy them while there around touring, and i hope you guys get to see them in concert, ive been lucky to see them twice in four years i dont need a new albume yet!

[gnrjanus]

Why the Rush?

let this band have some fun behind this album.
and don't forget it took afd also some time to ingest....

[jarmo]

Focus on what you have instead of what you might get.


To be able to get Chinese Democracy out to us, there were all kinds of obstacles that needed to be cleared. I'm not sure if it's any easier to put new music out today than in 2008.

The record company didn't seem to have any idea of what they were doing in 2008. Not sure if anything has changed....

[gnrjanus]

it's all about the money these days in the buss.
I'm with you on this Jarmo that it took a sweet load of time to get cd out in de us or anywhere else.
and see what happened there whoever is to blame but I don't see cd as a failiure, it's one epic CD and just some people should look beyond the words of $ and just write wat is right.

and for cd 2 I think money is a big obstacle and I think a lot of parties involved might see it that way and I think they are right...

but like you said let them focus on this...

and perhaps some people can take care of the internet by bringing the cd's in legal through the net or torrents then to sit on there ass allday and doing nothing...

[One.In.A.Million]

I am not even thinking about the next album at the moment, although it would obviously be amazing. With Chinese Democracy being released in 2008, and now with GN'R touring the album, I couldn't be happier. 

[Insider]

i think its too soon for a new album, but think in the southamerican tour documentary and/or a live dvd is less insane

not gonna happen, that guy who was supposed to do it was fired after a few days of touring.. but We can hope something comes out....

[PJ]

i dont think we will have a new album at all

[sofine11]

i dont think we will have a new album at all

That's silly.  Axl, himself, said that late 2009 was a possibility for the next album during his fan chats.  We're now well into 2010 so what reason do we have to not expect the next album soon? 

[GnR-NOW]

He did say same bat time, same bat channel or something like that.

I would love to hear new music, because I love CD and the direction of the music. But I think we can be glad for a while CD was actually released.

[GnR-NOW]

Right now. I would take an Atlantic City - house of blues show over a new album

that would've been november 09.. things change, stuff didn't happen/work out..

This I agree with, wouldn't suck to have some more kickass rockers along the lines of riad and shacklers for example
