Dj Ashba Is 'Really Excited' About Working On Follow-Up To 'Chinese Democracy'

[Ulises]

Geez...the Guns N' Roses world is so weird. Thing is that the fans themselves makes it weird.

I mean, there's a member saying something and then, the next minute, the movie begins: speculations, "hopes" (then, when things don't happen as they want become into trashed hopes and then all the wrath), "dreams" (then, when things don't happen as they want become into trashed dreams and then all the wrath), "he promised...", reading between lines, etc. etc. etc.

Give Guns N' Roses a fuckin' break, please. A leg of the biggest tour in band's history has just finished.

Amen to that!- thank god they still do do tour Not too mention putting on blazing performances- i just saw 4 incredible GnR shows & 2 last year in Canada

No way, they are on a roll.  Besides DJ and Ron started it.  They want to work and we're right behind them pushing.

DJ's comments made the news here in Belgium (saw articles in a few newspapers yesterday, including 'Le Soir' in the culture section).

Proof (if needed) that people are interested in the future of the band, just like us

And some sounded very positive, they should have mentioned Ron post as well though instead of hipping it as a fact already...

Im sure there will be a follow up album to CD and there is no doubt there have been ideas flying around as DJ said.  Ron is basically saying they have not sat down in a studio to record or re record any songs yet.   I say lets just sit back and enjoy GNR on the road.. What more could we ask for, we have GNR touring again in full force.. a new album will come eventually but in the meantime lets just enjoy the GNR tour and CD...

I think most of us agree that re-working parts is a possibility, and no one is ruling that out. Its pure speculation though, none of us have a clue.

What bothered me with the above post was the suggestion that songs were being worked on without bumble's knowledge. Like there was some kind of Axl-Ashba secret project that Bumble didnt need to know about. I can't believe I'm writing these words, some of the speculation here is way beyond any perceivable reality.

That wasn't my intent on my speculation.  Its like this, when Chinese Democracy was being recorded I highly doubt Axl called Robin to tell him Bumblefoot is recording some added guitars to the tracks.  He probably just did it.  I wouldn't see it as a "secret project" as I assume Bumblefoot would've already recorded parts a few years ago.

I think it's very cool that Dj says this regarding a new album:

"We're talking about that right now"

"We've been throwing around a bunch of ideas"

"We've got a lot of good stuff on the plate coming out"

"Axl [Rose, vocals] has a lot of good shit up his sleeve, so I'm really excited about it."

To me it sounds like he is talking about"CD2"...

somewhere along the way, this thread got hi-jacked and went way off course (shocker, right ).

And as a result i feel like the magnitude of this interview was missed. DJ said a U.S. tour will start in February!!!  and gnr put this on their official communication tools so there is a strong likelihood this will happen (it is at least the plan as of this month - of course, things can change).

i have been so fired up since hearing this news. and i know ALOT of people that want to go see them live if they play in or near philly. i'm keeping my fingers crossed and hopefully sometime during this holiday season we start getting some dates leaking and confirmations!

Where do you see the tour in February on GNR's "official communication tools" -- I really hope this happens.

when i said "put this on their official communication tools" i meant they put the DJ interview there. DJ dropped some major tour plans in that interview so considering that GnR put the interview on FB and on this site (HTGTH), i think it's fair to say that this wasn't just a random comment. basically, that there are (or at least were) plans in place to begin touring the States in February. now plans can change all the time, but i'm hoping the actual details are in place and they are just planning a formal announcement.

I guess Dj stands by what he says in this interview.
