DJ Ashba: :Axl's a Genious who's sitting on 3 albums".

[DeN]

DJ seems to work with Axl on some new material or new riffs & solos on older tracks while
others Gunners are doing their solo stuff, that's really cool, maybe we'll have something at
the end of the year if the band doesn't tour, or more probably in 2012...can't wait to hear
new Guns music, especially the more modern & experimental stuff Axl talked about years ago.

The fact is, is that the next GN'R release is highly likely to be material written and recorded, from the same sessions that the tracks from Chinese Democracy was from. DJ in my view would be adding parts here and there, much like Ron did back in 2006-8.

All people have to do is to use their common sense, if Axl is sitting on 3 albums worth of material. Why would he choose to record from scratch, and create an album that primarily features this current band.

He already has the gold, all I reckon is happening now is finishing touches and maybe some DJ overdubs to intergrate him into the project. That's why I didn't like the phrase DJ used when describing "GN'R recording everyday", because it made it seem like that the whole current band were locked in a room recording an album.

I think that the next album will be very much Chinese Democracy 2, in every aspect.

I think that the next album will be very much Chinese Democracy 2, in every aspect. 

That's what I'm hoping for.  But like Tommy pointed out, the powers that be at the label like to dick with things so God only knows what trouble they're making behind the scenes.   Like I said, they gotta be braindead to prevent another GNR release.

Every time I inquire about the label issue because I'm in favor of dumping them, the answer is always contracts and you're talking major money.  I think we're stuck with them.  And I just want to scream at some of the fans, how many times do you have to hear it's a label problem?!  Stop blaming the band for taking so long, it's not them.

Axl is a genius songwriter.  He works on songs for years and years.  A lot of the Illusion songs were wrote in the mid 80's or maybe even before.  This I Love was apparently something Axl was working on back in 92!!!!!

I never really got into Chinese Decomcracy but there is a few good tracks on there that you can tell Axl proabably spent a lot of time on.

Why do comments like this have to turn into an argument?

I realize that this is a "discussion board", but Christ!

Can't all just admire a wonderful, sincere comment from a member of our favorite band to a man who I'm pretty sure we all worship?

Just smile, think about your favorite band and be thankful that we're all able to share in the music we have. Just this once. Please.

 

[jarmo]

Yeah, ridicule those who actually support the band.

That's so cool!!!!!!!
