Lets say they have something agreed, it doesn’t mean Rick (assuming we’re on the right lines) sits twiddling his thumbs while GNR writes material. I’m sure he has other things to be working on. Maybe they want him part of the writing process ie vetoing tracks Ezrin style before they waste too much time on them.

It’s also likely a lot of the material is semi finished anyway. Either from CD or VR days. Whilst I’d like to see an album they’ve co written from the ground up I doubt that it’s likely.

Questioning the legitamacy of the rumour is one thing. I question it myself, I’ve never heard of the site it was posted at before, I’m assuming it’s some sort of music industry insider site but I could be wrong. Doubting the rumour is fair game.

Axl discussed the possibility of doing new music with Slash in the china exchange interview he did btw.

My point wasn’t that you should believe the rumour. It was that you are moving the goal posts in order to maintain your stance that everything is shit. For months your issue has been the tour is nothing but a money grab which is evidenced by the lack of new music or interviews (you even posted that same view in a thread about a Slash interview ironically). When presented with a new album rumour (and that is all it is) that contradicts this you explain why any new album will likely be no good anyway.

I’ve no issue with a ‘believe it when I see it stance’ but your current posts are that of someone who either revels in being gloomy or wants this whole thing to fail. Being objectively miserable doesn’t make you a realist.

Thank you. I’ve seen every tour GNR have done since 06 be labelled by someone as ‘cash grab’ as if tickets should have been free or something. I’m sure they all go to work and do their job for free btw.

I notice the NITL tour is now the fourth highest grossing tour by any artist ever. Behind only U2, Stones and Coldplay. In an alternative universe GNR fans might actually be pleased with such an acheivement to see that their band still has such appeal and popularity. But no, fuck it, ‘CASH GRAB’!

Any info, of which there’s very little, is in the leaks thread.

We don’t need a second one.

Merry Christmas guys!
