Eddie Trunk: "By all accounts, there's definitely stuff in motion"

[LIGuns]

Eddie Trunk has in the past stated he is not a big fan of Axl's voice..He has also stated that there have been 2 contracts for GNR tours one for current lineup and another for a reunion...Who knows what is true...

[TheSyxer]

He is stating opinions and second hand info - people in the music biz coming to him with 'a friend of a friend stories'

Whilst it makes good clickbait for his podcasts, it's not helpful.

Wow.  We actually agree on something

Maybe hell did freeze over?

In all seriousness, I owe you an apology.  Any disagreements in the past stemmed from me being wrong about an assumption I had made.

Also, as I said earlier in the thread, returning a book to the 'point of purchase' as the author invited anyone to do isn't strange, it's perfectly reasonable.  Now that you have clarified why you took it to the Deli (that's where you purchased it), I don't think anyone needs to say it was 'creepy' etc...

Thankyou. I appreciate that.

Classic, if there is a tour this should be the official t-shirt...

I think its a combination of the news that things may have thawed between Axl and Slash, as well as the fact...what the hell else is there?

There isn't even a functioning line-up right now.  I could see if maybe there was still a band, how all this reunion talk would be a bit silly.

But we have mass defections, not a peep about a new album.  People are just looking for some hope.

How different is it to say 2008?

2-3 people gone vs. 1 person in 2008... Also in 2008 we hadn't seen the huge change in relationship with Duff, and we 'hear' there is a change in relationship with Slash (not yet proven or disproven).

This doesn't mean a change in outcome from 2008, but it is certainly a drastic change in surrounding circumstances...

[Princess Leia]

In 2008 we knew most of the songs from CD because of the leaks and because since 2001 we have heard a few of them live. And Slash didn`t say back then that his relationship with Axl was in good terms or more civilize terms.

Now we know nothing about CDII, there is no name for the album. All we heard was names of songs that never have been performed live. So there is nothing tangible. On top of that 3 guys are gone when in 2008 only one left. So Axl needs to find three new guys if he is  willing to continue with new GN`R.

Yes you pretty much nailed it. In 2008 I had heard just about the entire album minus 3 songs.  I believe behind the scenes is in the works. Everything Eddie Trunk said makes perfect sense from what we know.

There was tangible evidence there were new songs and an album coming.

Fast forward 7 years.  All these alleged mind blowing songs they are sitting on, they have not played any of them over several tours.

Well, in early 2008 you had Beta's "We're currently negotiating the release...." comments, and by late summer we had Shackler's Revenge & If The World, leading up to the album release in the fall.  

We haven't heard a freakin' peep about the next album in 2015.  I'm not saying a reunion is imminent.  Just that in 2008 things seemed far more "hopeful" in regard to NuGNR's future, even with Robin's status being vague.

Which reminds me, aren't we due for Fernando's big news update soon?  Or is that just going to be neatly swept under the carpet?

So you're saying you knew the album was coming out say in January 2008?

Yeah, two guitar players left versus one in 2008. But that's not the point.
The point is, we didn't know who was in the band, and there was no planned activity in say early 2008. There was no announced release date or tour dates back then. Sound familiar?

There were comments, such as the one on the official web site in 2007 and 2008. But do you think some people really cared all that much about those words?


Correct. They didn't play those songs live. Maybe they learned from the last time they did that? Who knows...

[sky dog]

speaking of 2008....from the Axl chats about Robin and his status.....sounds familiar and gives you a peak in to how Axl thinks about the lineup and touring....also note he says Robin's work for the "next" is done. 7 years later still waiting to hear that "work"..

Quote from: Bruno Poeys on December 12, 2008, 04:16:31 AM
Now that you said that please tell us if Robin's out or not... because, otherwise, we'll be reading several 'Axl wants Bucket back and Robin/Bumble/Richard out' type of threads for the entire '09 year and these threads annoy us, the new lineup fans.

Axl : It really is what it is. No decisions have been made by either him, I or us that I'm aware of.

When we're touring or working in the studio or there's social things like a friend's dinner or party whatever we would hang. But as people get older they have their own lives. The Stones aren't going bowling every Tuesday etc.

Robin leads one of the most different lives I know of starting with the trapeze in his backyard to the tv in his closet. Robin's work on the next is done so there's not lots for him to do here except the elusive promo and he'd rather be on stage.

It's more about seeing where things are when Guns decides it's right for a tour and if we're able to make agreements we both are comfortable and can live with at that time.

Well, hopefully Fernando's elusive news update will shed some light on that one.

[D-GenerationX]

So you're saying you knew the album was coming out say in January 2008?

I'm saying I knew there were new songs because I had heard them for years.

I have serious doubts as to whether Axl's heart is even in this anymore, as it pertains to "the second half of Chinese".

Insane as it sounds, a reunion actually sounds more plausible than this mythical next album.

And now you don't believe there are new songs because you didn't hear them?
