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

[Ginger King]

"We recorded a lot of things before Chinese was out. We've worked more on some of those things and we've written a few new things. But basically, we have what I call kind of the second half of Chinese. That's already recorded. And then we have a remix album made of the songs from Chinese. That's been done for a while, too. But after Vegas, we're going to start looking very seriously at what we're doing in that regard."

-Axl Rose, June, 2014

You could flood the internet with quotes from band members on when new music is coming out.

Nothing anyone says- whether Axl, Slash, Duff, Richard or Frank's babysitter has amounted to jack shit in regards to these guys being able to either make or release a creative musical idea anymore.

It's been a cash grab since Slash and Duff came back and the next tour will be grabbing even more - which is fine.
I will give them the cash because I love the music and the shows are big party
But that's all this is -
Look up KISS in the dictionary - you won't be far off.
Less the makeup

So basically you keep paying, will keep playing.  Basically GNR is like Queen.

And in the words of the immortal Max Cherry "Ain't nothing wrong with that" !!

[rizzo160]

It is if you keep promising new music

I'd go with tease over promise as a term to use myself

Would it be fair to say that your hopes for getting a new record in the near future have cooled a fair bit? Your posts about new music until recently have been quite optimistic but there seems to be a change?

[rizzo160]

I guess for me it's great their together but I feel for it to be legitimate a proper album should come out.

[sky dog]

They are legitimately a band and have been since 1985. For fuck’s sake, if they want to release new music, they will.

I guess the only difference is that a while ago, I thought 2020 was still possible. If they wanted to put something out well in advance of the tours in 2021.

But my belief was always that this scenario wouldn't be as likely as releasing something once they are able to actually tour again.

I'm sure there are some cars out there still with CD players...  People moved on from tapes.

I bought my car in 2014 and it has a CD player. I haven't used it at all since I bought the car. I had a free trial of  SirusXM for awhile. I then listened to music from my iPhone or listened to the radio. Google Music used to have a free feature which would allow you to listen to music by similar artist that were in your music library. Now I'm paying Spotify and streaming it through the phone. I haven't bought a CD in about 8-9 years at least if not longer.

[Six Strings]

The last CD that I've bought was actually Chinese Democracy.

Grab a few! They're great and you support musicians!

If Im buying its a CD. Im not paying for bytes.

You're paying for the plastic and booklet. The actual music is in bytes...

It's a digital format. Unlike regular cassette tapes and vinyls.

But yeah, you want a physical object instead of a file somewhere in the cloud for you to listen to.

I want both.  Get my cd's off Amazon.  Immediately there for me to play in the house and the CD coming later for me or a gift. 

Some of my gift friends have shitty taste in music.    Only reason that's in my Amazon file.

[jarmo]

I get it. I like collecting CDs as well. And even LPs in some cases.


There's nothing like a physical release.

Going to record stores, browsing, finding that one album you were looking for, getting to listen to is, reading the booklet....
