What do you want a next album to sound like?

[CherryGarcia]

Myself, if they could produce something between AFD and the UYIs in sound, it'd be epic. Something along the lines of their version of "Innuendo" (by Queen) - some hard rockers, some epics, and a couple of experimental pieces. Imagine say, Locomotive 2016, basically, followed by Slash and Duff's take on a Shackler's type song, followed by an It's So Easy type mid rocker, with an acoustic ballad thrown in there somewhere.

Sticky Fingers....

[Wooody]

I say let it out naturally.

Im sure Slash has matured, improved, and learned stuff in the past 20 years, let the sound come out naturally. Don't try and reproduce anything, don't try to ''BURY" anything.
Just have fun creating music. Play off eachother,  learn to Jam with Richard and Frank.

I would like an album that sounds light. One track for each instrument. Possibly 2 tracks for Axl's vocals MAX !

Shoehorning Slash over some songs done 10-15 years ago, who knows how that will sound?

I know you meant that as negative thing , but I would have no problem whatsoever of they did that.  If all of these songs are done sitting around why wouldn't you want to go through them with Slash and Duff and see what happens?  I also believe a song is "done" when it's released to the public.  Before that they are just ideas.  Sure they might be mixed and mastered ideas but only when they get released to the public are they "done."  That's when there is no going back from it .Until then you can change anything you want.

Slash?s Snakepit + Axl?s CD-like ballads + his 2010 voice ? and it?s brilliant.

[ITARocker]

Hope it won't sound like CD, in terms of mixing etc. Don't need great songs recorded like they are all fuckin demos.

[jarmo]

Like Guns N' Roses. Duh!

They don't need to try like somebody else.

Oh, I'd be for anything that gets us new material.  Up to, and including, taking hostages.

I'm speaking just from a style standpoint.  Honestly, if they go that route, I would say erase the guitar track entirely and let Slash lay down his own take on it.

[Thorned Rose]

I'm cool with whatever they try honestly. If will be good at the least.

As far as sound goes... I would want Civil War meets Don't Damn Me meets 14 Years meets Nightrain...

Just good old piano/hard rock. In that vein of piano like rock with fast and hard beats. Like the songs I wrote above^^^.

I'm always good for 1 or 2 Axl ballads too. I still think "This I Love" is a top 10 Guns N' Roses song.

[axlvai]

An album will sounds like magic.

Like when i played Uyis for first time.... just impressive.

[CherryGarcia]

What does 'like Guns N' Roses' sound like, though?
Jungle sounds way different from Estranged. Estranged in turn sounds way different from Shackler's Revenge. So what does GN'R sound like?

The Stones can be broken down as Mick vocals, Keith riffs, jazzy backbeat from Charlie
Led Zeppelin could be broken down as wails from Robert, epic guitar riffs from Jimmy, dark, brooding or jazzy keyboard parts from John Paul, and thunderous drums from John,

It's hard to pinpoint and that's part of the charm.

AFD --> LIES --> UYI --> TSI -->CHINDEM

EVOLUTION

 

[Thorned Rose]

Yeah it is tough to do. They really are their own sound.

AFD was very Stones meets Aerosmith in a lot of ways when it came out, then UYI stuff really changed that.

It gave them their own sound with 70s rock roots I think. Very cool.

[DeN]

maybe a mix between last GNR line up and Velvet Revolver

[AdZ]

What?

Book of Souls is indeed fucking excellent, but I don't really want Guns N' Roses to sound like that.

I'd love to have a new album - whenever the songs were written and whoever plays on them, as long as it sounds good I'll dig it.  Maybe more likely would be a best-of album with a couple of new tracks as bonus material.  That way they get new songs out, but don't need to write a whole album if they don't want to.
