"Next Album" rumor / speculation thread *UPDATE AUG 22/2023*

[ericy210]

That's 23% of the bands music!  23% of the bands music is unoriginal music, written by other people.  That's crazy!

But don't you think they do a great job on them?  I totally do.

From the early gritty stuff like 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' right through the more polished 'Since I Don't Have You'.

I think they crush cover songs.  Not every band does.

Agreed.  They make the song their own.  The add their attitude and sound while still respecting the original.  I think they make some of those great songs even better, or at least as good but just different.

What is this a cover band then?

I would love to hear your input on new original music

I would love to hear fans saying.  Damn they really nailed it with that new song.  I sure hope that one takes the place of that song they play by that other band

Slash is back.

Duff is back.

Coma is back.

DTTJ is back.

Adler is back in the fold.

They're more of a stadium act now than during the Illusions.

Axl sounds great.


All checked, now let's get back to grinding on the friggin setlist...


I think we all want new music, though not all agree on the stance with the cover songs. To me they're Guns N Roses songs, the sound is not different to the ones written by themselves. It would be different if Axl tried to imitate Dylan during KOHD. A great song is... a great song I guess, people seem to think so anyways.

I also think we shouldn't get our hopes up regarding new material as long as they're touring under the NITL banner, it's sort of a comeback, greatest hits tour. Rather be happily surprised if they choose to weave in some stuff as they go along. But I think their plan is to do a separate tour when the time of releasing material comes closer.

Cool.

Enjoy your first European leg of this tour

On the Second North American leg of this tour

I am hoping for more original music.   No covers.  And a huge set list change

[GNR4L]

There's a time and place for everything... i'm sure we will get new material.... how's that one song go ?  Just a little.... Patience.

Thanks!

Just a question, you don't like LALD and KOHD?

Hoping for a change in the setlist is alright with me, it would be cool to hear lots of stuff from their catalog. I've never said otherwise.

The second NA leg is places they didn't play this year though, so I wouldn't expect any huge changes in the set.

[allwaystired]

I still have no idea why anyone who seems to dislike the setlist so much would book tickets to see the tour again, as well as spend huge amounts of time grumbling about it all.

No one minds criticism, debate, pulling the band up on stuff etc, but endlessly dragging on about setlists, given the great year it's been for GNR fans? It's pretty tiresome. To say the least.

So stick to the thread that is titled

"I love everything about GNR, because I am a true fan!"

If you don't want to read about set list speculation or wants or next album speculation or wants, stay out of the threads containing those conversations

The second NA leg is places they didn't play this year though, so I wouldn't expect any huge changes in the set.

I cant stand KOHD.  I actually hate the song.  I hate how it is played.  I hate how it is sung.  I hate how the lyrics are repeated over and over again.  I hate how it brings out fake audience participation from the mindless sheep.   I hate pretty much everything about it.

LALD is a great cover.  GUNS has always done a great job performing this cover song.   The thing for me is that they have played it at every frigging show I can think of.  Everyone I have been at anyways.   I am sick of hearing it.  Its not a original song, its a cover song.   That has been played to death I feel.

Even though this second NA leg is being catered to cities they havnt played yet.  I feel that they are playing in very similar markets as there past shows.  For example, if GUNS didn't hit your specific city 1 year ago and you where a fan and wanted to see them and they where just playing 1 hr away.  Chances are you went to see them.  I know I did, I know many people did.  So to me this is a second leg of there NA tour.  Things should get switched up a bit as they are playing markets that are very close to places they just played.

And I love how people find it ok to criticize other people for posting stuff that isn't a shared opinion....

Where do you get all the time to go on the internet and criticize peoples posts on message forums?? 

Do you also call into sports radio talk shows and criticize callers, for calling in and complaining and criticizing and suggesting things for there fav team???

You can have a fav team/band and still be critical of it/them.   

Look at it like voting.  I say if you vote you sure can talk politics.  If you don't vote keep your mouth shut

If you support a band or sports team with, purchasing tickets/albums/merchandise.  You can voice your opinion on what ever you want.   

If you like everything always, go a head and say that.   I dont

[Voodoochild]

So you can talk about this same thing in every single thread - even in one of the few which are NOT about live performances - because this is criticism?

But EVERYTHING you post goes back to "the band play too many covers, the setlist is boring, they need to change it" etc etc. You've made your point. Give it a rest!

EXACTLY. Every thread just gets derailed by the same old negative shit.

When did I ever say the set list is boring?

They do play to many covers

I brought this thread back from the dead to spark conversations.   And as I stated 3 pages back I made my point.

I was just asked direct questions though and responded to them.  

And if you don't like it

Start another topic.   And lets talk about that.

because the only thing I can really recall from your posts is you complaining about posts....

Really? You do realize the irony of that comment regarding complaints? There only seems to be one name that continually turns every thread into a complaint about cover versions and set lists......

[allwaystired]

There also seems to be a heck of a lot of other people who seem to be thoroughly sick of it too, looking at all the above comments!

So what else do you have?? 

What is your next hot topic you would like to talk about?

[Voodoochild]

I brought this thread back from the dead to spark conversations.   And as I stated 3 pages back I made my point.

No, you didn't. Sofine did it with this post:

With the momentum being so strong going into 2017, I can't help but wonder if there's been any further talk among Guns regarding the next album.  Being the biggest touring act of 2016/2017 I would imagine news of new music would go over particularly well right now.  I know the music industry sucks right now and that record sales are at an all time low, but you'd think they'd want to strike while the iron's hot, if they're ever going to do it.  Hmm...

But then you derailed yet another thread with your endless complaints. You didn't spark conversations, you incited people to argue (because your points are fair, but your rethoric is tiresome) about something that has little to do in this 286 pages thread.

I was just asked direct questions though and responded to them.  

And if you don't like it

Start another topic.   And lets talk about that.

Wait a minute: you're honestly suggesting people to start a thread to talk about other things?
