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

[D-GenerationX]

Thing is, if you put it out now, it would give people time to listen to it and get into it.  Perhaps draw in some new fans.  We are all just sitting around doing nothing.  Got nothing but time.

The counterargument is that the next tour already has the tickets sold.  So they could rest on that.  But who the hell knows when concerts will be a thing again.  That ticket you bought for 2020, they are banking on 2021.  God help us, we *all* are.  But what it 2021 doesn't happen for concerts?  Is there a second delay, or do you just refund the money at that point?  I don't know.  None of us do.

But if your intention is to a be a viable entity going forward, and looking to continue this for some time still, you need to replant.  Pretty nice window right now to plan for the future, whenever it restarts.

Of course, Plan B : head out whenever and play the greatest hits.  The people will come. 

Just a question of what you want to be.  Both approaches are viable, in my view.  One is just less inspired than the other.  But both make coin.

I like how we're already justifying no release until 2022...I guess I'll just go buy the AC/DC album in three weeks.   

Yep me too. It’s that bad waiting for guns I’ve even given thought to the new Bon Jovi record 

Jon Bon Jovi can...

It’s an alright album if you like Jon and John Shanks butchering the production and electric guitars...listenable

Life long fan here.  One of my favorite bands to listen to ever, in their prime.

But I gotta tell ya, the last album I actually dug was 'Have A Nice Day'.  And that's 14 years ago now.

Agree with everything there.

Not sure if anyone has noticed it or posted but on Twitter today Slash announced new album in 2021 with Myles and the Conspirators. So it means Slash has been busy, writing for GNR and his band.

^And humorously, it raises the question from an old Who song: Who came first?

So they can release a solo album but what about an album for GNR?   

[PermissionToLand]

Honestly, I was very disappointed with Living the Dream. I'm still curious though, hopefully it's an improvement and bodes well for new GNR material quality.

This is the type of news GnR fans want not the BS vague spin they've been feeding the fans for the last few years ,incredibly this is Slash's second solo album since he rejoiced GnR which tells me that they have no plans to release new music in the immediate future.

I mean this was just an offhand comment by the bass player... not really that different from what we've heard from Guns.

[rizzo160]

The difference is the solo album will come out next year where as GUNS album may or may not

[Gavgnr]

Wonder if we’ll get any kind of release before the end of 2020, whether that be music or a Blu-ray. Would certainly be appreciated after the year from Hell!!!!

There is still time for someting to happen i n 2020, but spring 2021 looks more promising. But it could be futher delayed if the Covid situation dont get better and the tour will be postphoned again

[rizzo160]

Any update on the album?  It's been very quiet

[sky dog]

Seriously? Take a look back to when this thread was started.

Just looked: it was May 3, 2012.

To say this topic has experienced evolution since then is an understatement.   

[sky dog]

Regarding the album, nothing has changed.....literally nothing.

[COMAMOTIVE]

Everything here is just talk and hope and sadly the occasional reprimand for daring to desire new music from the band we love.
Fact is the man in charge of any hope of new music provides more insight into his political leanings than actual music anymore and that's just where we are.

In therapy, they call it acceptance.
