Great news!

[FunkyMonkey]

Cool -- let's see what they do with them.

[Gezzy]

Sounds promising, I preordered the Sixx AM record, I really enjoyed the first album!

[Axl8302]

Lyrically and vocally, Sixx AM are a bit hit and miss for me. I've heard a few of these new tracks and some of them sound killer, I'm a big fan of Ashba and his playing, can't wait to hear him on something with Axl.

[Vicious Wishes]

Very nice to hear that. Doesn't necessarily mean anything, but still great to hear.

[Axl8302]

Sure, but it's nice to know that there at least SOME plans for these guys to get in the studio again and create something new. Really hoping we get the rest of the CD era tracks first though!

[gnrjanus]

Lol, Axl and Ashba locked away in Axl's basement!

I can't wait too hear what they come up with, with Dj on board. Going to be some great freaking stuff.

I really dont' want to rain on everyones parade but, I think DJ says alot of things loosely. He said a while ago that you won't have to wait long for a new GN'R album, then Ron said in another interview that the band had yet to sit in a room together and any material that will be on any future album will probably heavily feature CD era songs. 

I like DJ, and I appreciate his role in GN'R for the past few years. But I think it's obvious to everyone that Guns N' Roses as a band are not working on new material everyday. As Rons doing his own music and making appearences, much like Richard and Frank. However, it is possible DJ is working on some GN'R stuff here and there, but again in saying that DJ seems to be pretty busy lately too, with him attending awards shows, and also dealing with Sixx AM. 

I guess I don't want GN'R fans, to be on cloud 9 because they hear that Guns N' Roses are working on new material every day, because they most likely aren't. If you take into consideration the last few interviews and activities from GN'R members, like Ron, Richard, Frank and Tommy.

One doesn't contradict the other.

Well, we don't know exactly what he's even talking about.

So for you to completely dismiss him is a bit drastic.

Unless you're far more informed about how GN'R works than Dj, then I suggest you be more careful...


I personally don't know what he's referring to, but I don't go and claim he's wrong. Because I honestly don't know!

I'm not totally dismissing what he is saying, he could well be working on GN'R material. But I think it's abit too loose to say everyday, just my personal opinion from my own assumptions on seeing almost every GN'R member busy with their own music/gigging. 

I don't want media outlets reporting that "Guns N' Roses are working on material everyday", because that will make everyones hopes high in regards to a GN'R release being imminent (or closer than we think). And then I don't want them same media outlets to be negative towards GN'R when something doesn't come to fruition as soon as everyone expects.

It's easy for people to read an interview the wrong way, or percieve it in their own hopeful way. And most of us GN'R fans, have built up a coat of armor in regards to getting our hopes up, and having delays happen and so fourth.

I just don't want a casual observer, who reads the board as a guest. To suddenly think that GN'R are working on material everyday and then for them to be getting their hopes and expectations really high, only to be dashed when the album doesn't appear as soon as they thought based on their own hopeful interpretations of such an interview. 

(That's why I feel the more seasoned GN'R members like Ron wouldn't say such a thing. Because he knows from his own personal experiences, how much GN'R fans hang on to every word, and sometimes interpret it wrongly.)

We don't even know who the we he's referring to are.


I understand being cautious. But I'm sure he has a reason for saying that. I don't think he's talking out of his ass.

I'm just glad someone is working on new songs for Guns N' Roses every day.

Oh sure, I have a hard enough time following along -- now I'm expected to read subliminal messages.

I know, but I did actually like that one myself.

My guess is that he's doing what Ron did back in 2007, that is, adding solos and guitar work to already existing songs.  This is really the only context I can see his statement making sense.

Ron stated previously that he recorded on a "good handful" of tracks that did not appear on the first album, so his work for the next one might already be done.

[jarmo]

It was a little joke...  


Being optimistic about the future can't be a bad thing... That's the vibe I get from what Dj said. Optimism.

ahah loved the subliminal message! ah!

[gnr-4-ever]

ahah loved the subliminal message! ah!

I lol'ed. 


Great to hear from DJ, this certainly is the best news since the RIR confirmation. 

[Halo69]

Well i think they're definitely working on a new album... they can't be stopped... artists are always on the move and creating new things. Even if they're just working on instrumentals right now, this is great news!

Im very curious about the new album! There's definitely the same kind of buzz in my mind, that there was before CD came out. This next album is gonna rock and i can't wait to start listening the new songs!

I hope they include Oh My God, its one of the greatest songs they wrote ever! But im not expecting that to be included. I think its one of the songs that we'll never see on its finished form  

Im sure there will be other great songs on the next album though. I hope this is a more agressive album than CD though, more rockers less calm songs. I bet thats where their mind is, a more agressive album!

True...it's about time that optimism is an option with our fav band...
Let's enjoy the moment and hope there will be a new record being released sometime (soon) 

In my optimism, I don't think it will take another 10 years...
