Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 Christ, I hope so. This could all blow up in my face if I totally mark out now and start singing the praises of Axl Rose. So I'll quietly sit in the GNR corner with my boys JAxl & Black Tiger for now. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 Yeah don't crack open that beer yet. There has been rumors of a greatest hits package for Christmas to recoup some of the money spent on making Chinese Democracy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 Just dawned on me that it says 'New GNR Album', therefore it could be a greatest hits compliation or something of that genre. I'm not holding my breath. If it actually IS the CD we're all waiting for, then shouldn't promotion of started for it already? EDIT: Beat me to making that conclusion, JAxl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 Ya know, the band has only released, what, 50 original songs? How can you release a greatest hits CD based off of that. Hopefully if they do go that route, there will be one or two new songs on there. You know how it is though, in the world of a GNR fan any news at all is good news, so I had to post it.

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2003 Not to mention that releasing a 'Hits' CD and expecting people to shell out 15-25 bucks for it is fucking ridiculous when people can get all of GNR's albums for about 30 bucks. All logic points towards it being Chinese Democracy, however something tells me Axl has nothing to do with this and that it is just the record company putting out GNR related shit to go along with the new DVD's to generate some interest and suck in the remaining GNR fans. At this point, who knows? UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Doyo Report post Posted October 19, 2003 Ya know, the band has only released, what, 50 original songs? How can you release a greatest hits CD based off of that. The record companies seem to do that a lot now. They released a greatest hits album for the Damn Yankees, who had two total albums and only 1 big hit song. They even released one for Cappadonna, who had two albums and no big hits. Hopefully, the songs on a GNR hits collection would be remastered, and for that matter, I'm surprised they haven't remastered the GNR albums yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted October 19, 2003 I just don't know how its going to be GNR without Slash...I'm thinking its going to be alot like the Aerosmith era when Tyler and Perry were having troubles...if that's the case I'd rather continue remembering them through Appetite and the Use Your Illusion LPs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one comment over the course of the day, believe it or not I don't spend sleepless nights writing GNR material hoping someone mentions them on a message board just so I can post it.

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 I'm hardly lashing out at you YnA, so don't make things out to be more hostile than they really are. However, you do this EVERY time there is a GNR-related thread and it's just pointless and stupid. I mean, fair enough, if it was, you know, funny and stuff I'd be okay with it, but it's not.

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Yeah at least make fun of Axl for his awful wig or obvious plastic surgery. Or make fun of me and Illusions for continuing to support a guy who has spit in our faces time and time again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Yeah, I remember how mad my friends were that he didn't show, and I was like "Duh, this was a Guns N Roses show." I knew what I was getting into when I bought the tickets. So, BPS, what do you think the odds are of this actually being THE album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Zero. That album won't come out for a long time. I actually think it's going to be a hella good album...I just think Axl is paranoid about releasing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Axl told us 2003 was the year GNR returned and he's let us down, albeit predictably. HOWEVER, the year is not over yet and funnily enough, one of Dizzy Reed's reletives stated that Chinese Democracy will be out around the 25th of November, the exact date that Amazon listing quotes. Probably a huge coincidence, but what else do I have to be excited about in the world of Axl Rose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1234-5678 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Damn. I gotta tell ya, if this isn't actually it, I might finally lose faith. Just a reminder, the Illusion albums were released in a similar manner though, with rumors of a greatest hits album, etc. Axl obviously doesn't do things like many other people. I honestly expect an announcement sometime this week. A Metal-Sludge.com article also said something about a big announcement before the end of the week about GNR. Fingers crossed, fingers crossed. Another point, the only new material we have heard debuted January 1st 2001. And that's not including "Oh My God" which debuted, when? Fall of 1999? I think it may finally be time BPS. I mean what the fuck else could possibly need to be done on the album? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 ASIN: B0000TLA9G Erm...that doesn't seem right. That question has been raised all over GNR message boards, it means nothing.

I mean what the fuck else could possibly need to be done on the album? Axl's a perfectionist, and in reality I could say with about 90% accuracy that the album was probably ready to go 2 years ago. Axl must be continually tweaking it here and there because he is NEVER fucking satisfied, reason #1 why he used to storm off stage back in the 80's and early 90's.

Guest Black Tiger Report post Posted October 20, 2003 I am stoked about this. Sure Axl usually fucks us over nine out of ten times, but notice that in most situations the one time is usually totally worth it. Just to defend Axl, look how The Spaghetti Incident? turned out. Because there were STILL working on the UYI tour and probably put it out too fast. I'll be keeping my eye on HereTodayGoneToHell for the next few weeks to see if any news breaks. JAxl, UYI, and bps, just think, If it turns out to be Chinese Democracy after all and if it does kick ass we caN all tell the naysayers "HEY FUCKERS, SUCK ON GUNS N' FUCKING ROSES!"

Most of my friends are still so pissed about the concert, I am going to buy all of them a copy of the new album for Christmas if it does come out. Hopefully that will turn them back into fans.

Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 Just to defend Axl, look how The Spaghetti Incident? turned out. Because there were STILL working on the UYI tour and probably put it out too fast. Axl's never been good at interpreting the work of others though. 'Live and Let Die' is the only song I've heard GNR actually pull off well. 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' suffers from SERIOUS misinterpretation on Axl's part and most of the Spaghetti Incident is pretty sub-par, with a few notable exceptions like 'Since I Don't Have You'. I've always preferred original Axl Rose material. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1234-5678 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 As far as "The Spaghetti Incident" goes, "Down On The Farm", "Ain;t It Fun", "Hair Of The Dog", "Black Leather" and "Look At Your Game Girl" are all pretty good in my book. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Use Your Illusion 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2003 'Look At Your Game Girl' was cool, but unnecessary. Just seemed like Axl was tying to be bad ass by covering one of Charlie Manson's songs. Not to say he didn't pull it off quite well, but it was just a little too obvious. UYI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
