2 new songs rumor

[D]

Do you think if this were true, they'd write from scratch,  or use 2 of Axls 2nd CD songs and simply re-record the parts?

Too hard too say.
I'd prefer if it was a start from scratch job personally

What was the source? Metal sludge?

Someone in another thread said they had seen photos of Slash and Richard in the studio (not the same photo though). Anyone have those photos?


We don't know how long Slash and Axl have been in contact... maybe they've talked, met for over a year. Could have already written songs maybe?

I think the last point is probably more true than any of us realise.

Well, if Axl announces both a tour and an album on Kimmel, that would be fantastic. Unfortunately I'd never get to hear the album or see the tour however, as I would immediately shit my pants and die.

Honestly I think a new hits compilation with a new song or two or a reissued Appetite with bonus tracks is a far, far more likely prospect to support the tour. Why? Because why not. It's a damn sight easier to make and put out and it will sell just as well as a new album would.

I would like to know the actual source for this rumor.

Is it wishful thinking or somebody who supposedly knows something?

Not sure, but personally have felt that this is not about a ca$h grab (only) and that the music had to work for both guys to bury the past and move forward into a new chapter....so even if just a rumor, I was expecting and very hopeful that they were already working on new ideas...and could possibly have been so quiet because of this.

Lets say fun speculation, they do a couple new songs for a different, more authorized greatest hits release, to coincide w tour.

I can see that being plausible. Only need a few new songs that wouldn't take long like a whole new album would. Or do an anniversary re release. AFD is 30 next year.

My feeling is that another greatest hits album is far from their plans. Doesn't seem to fit with the buzz and energy being generated.

Does anyone actually read threads before they reply to them? 

[Voodoochild]

They don't need albums anymore. Just release two new songs on Spotify and that would generate enough buzz.

Things are looking up for sure!

Well they did record 12 songs in 1996, so there you go.

I can't be sure but it might have spawned from this guy that posted a picture of himself with both Richard and Slash and claimed to have worked with them both. There is a nearly 400 page thread at another forum that linked to his pictures and corresponding facebook profile. Everything on his page is in Swedish (wish I knew someone who could read it...) so it's tough for me to tell if there is something else on his profile that says he works a petrol station or something like that making it obvious he is lying... I'm not sure thought if this is a chicken or the egg situation. Did he start the rumor or is he trying to validate the rumor.

Seeing as it is the only rumor coming out of the last few days that hasn't been 'confirmed' by Billboard, The NYT, or Rolling Stone it is obviously much less likely to be true...

We'll all see next week what is really happening (or not happening).

Would be great if they jammed something out.  I bet they could come up with something good quickly. 

Maybe also use an older song they all knew well, and never finished.  Or one of the hundreds of songs Axl has written over the past 20 years.

Plus you have the comments from Richard saying they had worked on material from back when Slash was in the band, or however he phrased it. Like you said, who knows how long this has all been going on. Could they have been secretly working together for longer than we started hearing the rumors? Anything seems possible.

By the way, the guy is a Norwegian comedian.
