The optimistic part is thinking, "Well, at least a reunited Axl, Duff and Slash coming off the back of one of the biggest tours of all time will have a bit more clout and ability to get it past the record company suits than Axl And His Funny Friends circa 2010."
Heck, albums are just an excuse to go on tour these days for the bigger acts. Would think the record company is very much in favor of releasing something. Gives them a valid excuse to go on another big tour with large audiences, even if the setlist is 80-90% classic material. Merch sales and whatnot are a lot more lucrative than record sales at this point.
Really, they should take a leaf out of Ariana Grande's book and just release music in an ad hoc way instead of carefully structured album releases. The music industry's moved on:
" If I want to tour two albums at once, I’m going to tour two albums at once. If I want to drop a third album while I’m on tour [in 2019], I’ll do that too!”
lol, if Axl wants to release 1 album in 26 years, he'll do that too!
j/k, cool article & insights. I wasn't aware the 'young kids' just put songs out & bypassed the 'Album Release Date' scheduling mantra.
Re: Richard: 'Get An Album Out Soon'
More about a new album in a new interview with the German site ZEIT ONLINE.
Page 3: https://www.zeit.de/kultur/musik/2019-0 … -interview
ZEIT ONLINE: Until mid-August you're still on tour with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators. What plans do you have for the time afterwards?
Slash: When I get home, I'm going to sit down with the Guns N 'Roses guys and we're going to focus on a new album together.
ZEIT ONLINE: You have not worked on it yet?
Slash: No, but I know everyone involved really wants to make this album.
We talked about it, and Axl already has a lot of stuff he's produced on his own. I think we're in great shape to get started.
Re: Richard: 'Get An Album Out Soon'
Classic....”no”. Too funny.
three years in to the big reunion, not one note of new Gnr music from the three of them. Not During This Calendar year! 2020 here we come.
Jeez, im as big a skeptic as they come, but that quote from Slash was just deflating. Its like, whats the point anymore?
Re: Richard: 'Get An Album Out Soon'
Slash is really channeling DJ Ashba.
ZEIT ONLINE: Until mid-August you're still on tour with Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators. What plans do you have for the time afterwards?
Slash: When I get home, I'm going to sit down with the Guns N 'Roses guys and we're going to focus on a new album together.
Ashba: Well, we hope so. That’s our main focus.
ZEIT ONLINE: You have not worked on it yet?
Slash: No, but I know everyone involved really wants to make this album.
We talked about it, and...
Ashba: And there’s been more and more talk about getting in there before the end of the year, which I’m really excited about.
Slash: Axl already has a lot of stuff he's produced on his own. I think we're in great shape to get started.
Ashba: Axl, of course, has, I believe, two complete albums worth of songs already recorded.
Do they actually get canned answers in Axlspeak?
Re: Richard: 'Get An Album Out Soon'
And don’t forget Tommy with his Duff like optimism. I literally laugh when people think things will change on the new music front because Slash and Duff will hold some kind of magic power over Axl. It is just fanboy bullshit. Nothing has changed other than the size of their collective 401k’s and retirement plans.
