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

[D-GenerationX]

Man, all I know is that if Axl is beyond stoked about the next album and getting it out, he has an awfully funny way of showing it.

Its long past ridiculous. 

We live in a world where people traverse oceans in life rafts to escape terrible living situations...yet here we have a rich and pampered rock star that can't get a collection of long recorded songs released.

So much of life comes down to "want to".  You either do or you don't.

[D-GenerationX]

Edited to add: So it seems like due to Eddie Trunk and his secret sources, you guys think a reunion is more likely than new music from GN'R?

Maybe, yeah.

But when you are talking about something with a 1% chance of happening versus something that is at around 5%, the point may have been missed.

[sky dog]

that was funny...but, I would take the 5%....betting man...take the odds.

[D-GenerationX]

that was funny...but, I would take the 5%....betting man...take the odds.

Ultimately, yeah.

But it looks like either option is going to require a miracle.

[sky dog]

I don't think so....could get your cake and eat it too.

Making a comparison between refugees and releasing an album.
Now it all makes sense. Keep telling us "it's just a rock band".... You just compared a life and death situation to releasing an album.
Holy shit!

There's a difference between having to and wanting to.
Axl Rose doesn't have to please you. That seems to bug you to no end!

I think Axl debuted those songs on the tours pre-CD because he was excited about them.

I don't think he debuted any new songs with the last line-up because he was not as excited about them as a group.

I think you're wrong.
So he wasn't excited about There Was A Time until 2006? And Catcher In The Rye until 2009?

He's even mentioned song titles in the past and described songs...
You know that intro they used at some of the shows? It's from an unreleased song.

We are talking about the last couple of years of the band tour. They didn`t perform not even one new song!!! There was not one new song on some movie soundtrack either.

As I said before CDII doesn`t even have a name!!!

The current situation is that BBF and DJ are gone. And Tommy is most likely gone as well

How are we going to believe that a new album is coming up any time soon?

So? Does any of that mean there's no new songs?
Of course not.

It doesn`t matter. If those songs are locked in some deposite box. If we can`t listen to them it is the same as nothing. We are talking about a ghost or myth kind of album.

[OscarAxl22]

^^^ and we've come full circle.

essentially whenever any fan says.. wheres the new album? the default line is now... "Axl Rose doesnt have to please you"...

Ive never heard this answer from any other artist or their close affiliates ever.

Its a ridiculous answer.

This is the most insane thing I've read on the forum in a long time.  Those things aren't comparable in any way.

Sure. But doesn't mean they don't exist.

What's ridiculous is comparing the album to refugees. Come on!

If this wait is so horrible, take a break and do something constructive, Oscar.

Meaning what?  Both happen??

[D-GenerationX]

Sure. But doesn't mean they don't exist.

Right now, they are equivalent of every out of work actor's screenplay he's been working on since he moved to L.A. 8 years ago.

At least they exist. Unlike your imaginary celebrity girlfriend....

When Rihanna and I have something to announce, we'll announce it.

Why is that so hard to understand?

[jarmo]

I could make a joke here, but I know you'll just get upset.... 

By the way, you owe us an update because we've been supporting you and your imaginary existence for quite some time now.

There are 13 big movie premieres left in 2015.

We might just show up on a red carpet.

[jarmo]

What are the odds that this guy is gonna show up with Rihanna at a movie premiere versus that reunion?

Edited to add: Once again, I'm being way nicer than usual... 


/jarmo

[D-GenerationX]

I can only do my part.

I of course refer to giving you no updates or information about anything, ever.

Oh, and labeling such speculation harmful, and...a little irresponsible, frankly.

[norway]

We go around in circles, until we come back to the name discussion, the setlist discussion and the one about the lack of promotion for CD.... 

imo they should remix songs heavier than is the case. Like Roger Waters doing Run Like Hell, the changes occur at around 2:37 and 4:38

[jarmo]

We've been speculating for days. Why stop now?

I think the chance of a reunion is slightly bigger than you appearing at a movie premiere with a famous woman. Sorry!  

 

Edited to add: Congrats for post of the year comparing refugees to a GN'R album. Really. Good job!
