ALBUM FROM CURRENT LINE UP

[RR Mafia]

Is it possible? Can this band, who have really developed into total monster , come off the road and cut an album of new material?  I think that is the way to shut up all critics.   Cut a badass hard rock record.   12 songs, all killer no filler.  Couple of ballads and the rest in your face.  Capture the energy and momentum that this band has going on right now. 

Question is if they started from scratch, could they write a good album? 

[GNRVahland]

Anything can happen....everything is possible 

[Scabbie]

That would be great as long as it wasn't at the expense if other great music in the vault and ready to go

[Voodoochild]

Of course they could write. But I guess it would be a pain in the ass to release it now because of the record company and other shit.

1 can only hope

Is Guns N' Roses obligated to deliver more albums for Geffen/Interscope?

If we include GN'R Lies, Live Era and Greatest Hits, they have put out 8 albums now.


From what we've heard from Axl, I don't think the band is very happy with how the record company handled their latest release. At least not in the US anyway, they seem to be pleased with how things were done with the release on an international level.

To adress the OP, I believe the current line-up is a very capable songwriting unit. Of course, there's no songs to see to, but from what we've all seen on the live shows, the chemistry between the members is definetly there! It pleases me to see that Ron has brought up the subject on several occasions, and seem quite eager to get things rolling with new material.

That being said, I certainly hope the remaining material from the Chinese Democracy sessions doesn't go to waste, and will be released in some form someday. I really have high hopes for those songs.

I think they're gonna focus on that as soon as the tour ends, maybe they'll drop the remixes album in between the tour end and the other album being released in 2011

[willow]

this band definitely has what it takes to do just that. I would love to see that happen. I think that would really put them back on the map so to speak.

[serp616]

an album with this monster would be fucking amazing...everone has found their place and all got crazy skills!!

[Voodoochild]

From what we can all hear on Bumblefoot and Ashba solo carreer, I think it's pretty safe to say they can pull off something really good. Also, don't forget that Tommy, Dizzy, Pitman and Axl himself are still there and we all know how amazing songwriters they are.

Yeah, that's why I said that. I don't know if they are obligated to something more, but if they intend to release a new album under the Universal umbrella, I believe they would have to struggle a lot in order to not release something with so much issues like the CD.

I'm really not sure about a remix album - perhaps as b-sides but surely there's more original material that could bed released first

[Z?phyr]

Definitely sure it could happen after CD part II is out, also think this line-up is one to stay, the chemistry is there 100% for sure (personally after 20 years of fan-ship the best line up ever)
I'm not sure it could happen before part II is out though, unless as Johnny Rotten sings in rise "I could be wrong, I could be right"

[ChiDem2010]

I am just looking forward to hear some DJ inspired themes in GnR's new music. And yes I like everyone else here can not wait for CD's followup, studio that is not the remix album.

[COMAMOTIVE]

Certainly looks as if this will be the team in place should we actually get to that step, but they could just as easily be on the road for another year

I'm sure there is enough material to be re-worked that could consitute another album or two, so to get to the point of having these particular guys create something totally original, is probably a stretch at this point

[PJ]

do you really think is the companys fault the lack of GNR albums?
i am sure if they could sell axl's farts they would, they are hungry for money
the final word in a GNR realase depends on axl

[horsey]

well axl's farts remain under cover's for now lol.but i could see axl returning home for the holidays and maybe seeing a soon as after maybe getting into studio .and possible music getting done then but who's ta say really.one can only guess.

[willow]

IF I was the guys I would be studying up on Led Zeppelin, old Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd and even some Robert Johnson. Also maybe some Alice in Chains and Tool. I am not saying GNR should sound like any of these artists, but they are a great study for a band like GNR. Also Axl, check out some Ray Lamontagne. Talking about some soul, boy does that guy have it.
Of course thats just an opinion.
peace out

With his recent succes with co-writing SIXX/AM N' MC'S Saints of LA I feel that was the reason DJ was brought into the mix. Perhpas to work w/ Axl on new material or tinker w/ what's already been written..
Who Know's, I don't, just speculating to this post..

That's not what I said, but yes, I think it was partially their fault. From what we got with Chinese Democracy, I think it's pretty safe to say that Universal had no interest to do a proper work with it. But I'm not saying it was only that - every band member and even Axl said it was a clusterfuck of shit happening. Check out what Marc Canter said about the delaying:

But what I said previously was about the conditions of release. I don't think the band would like to have the same issues all over again with a new album. I know it had a lot with managment, but still...

Would love to have 'The Ballad Of Death' to be turned into a GN'R song somehow / somewhere
