Axl confirms via MyGN'R that there will be a new album in 2012!

[DaniPhobos]

Clearly Axl hasn't watched that show since Season 2.....otherwise he'd have a username called "Game Of Thrones"..or even "Boardwalk Empire". Prolly Boardwalk Empire, cos Axl is the Boardwalk Emperor, while also being the King of Thrones.

When I read the title to this thread I was like "Woah,sweet" then to read that it was fake was a huge let down....I loved every Guns album to date and yes that includes Chinese Democracy,great album with really only one filler song,that being Scraped...Let's hope the next album (if/whenever it sees the light of day) is just as good as the Illusions albums and Chinese Democracy....Notice I never included Appetite For Destruction as in my opinion that album is always gonna be #1 to me...nothing will ever come close to that album.I hope we see at least another cd from Guns N Roses,if not two at the most...How long can Axl keep on performing before he realizes it's finally the end of the line for them...All I know is I've had the priviledge of seeing the new Guns lineup twice in my life so I'll die a happy man... I wish I was old enough to see the original lineup but to me the new lineup is my version of the original guns since I was 8-10 yrs old in the early 90's until they broke up so for me the new lineups (2001 till the present) are my versions of the original Guns N Roses....Of course I realize that no one could mess with Slash,Axl,Duff,Matt,Steven,Izzy,Gilby and Dizzy fuckin' Reed but for me the new lineups from 2001 till now are as good as it'll get for me.
I love both the original Guns and the new Guns (2006 - now),2001-02 lineup is a forgettable lineup simply because Axl was out of shape and had trouble singing,then there was Buckethead (who's an amazing solo artist,just never fit in with the band) and Robin Finck and is horrid NIN look....loved the caveman version of him in 2006.... ....I think Bumblefoot was influenced by his looks compared to what Ron looks like now....I just don't like the long beard on Ron Thal,if he kept it trimmed short to his face he'd look alright...but hey Axl is still around making good music,let's all enjoy his music,stop complaining that he's not what he used to be,that it ain't Guns N Roses...In my opinion I don't think Guns would be anywhere near successful all these years going back to the 80's if it wasn't for Axl...He's the heart and soul of the band and I couldn't see anyone else ever taking his place.I'm a huge Axl Rose fan (you can tell by my username... ) and yes he has two different sides to him,his nutcase side where he throws his tantrums and his nice guy sides like that video where he was telling fans about how Slash used to piss himself and then Axl would take his girl from him while he was passed out  ......Love him or hate him Axl is one of the top 5,top 10 frontmen in rock and roll history...He may get out of hand alot but he wrote some awesome songs that made them successful and he wrote songs that the band didn't even want to perform ex: November Rain.So there you have it,my rant...love it or hate it I don't care because every one is entitled to their own opinions.

Summarise please, tldr

What exactly do you want me to summarize,I was just stating my opinions on Axl and the new vs Old lineup,I don't know exactly what else you want me to talk about.

[shackler in the rye]

This is all bull and should now be moved to whatever or the trash, i don't know about anyone else but after living through the days of delayed releases and studio leaks from cd you develop a kind of 6th sense, a sort of gnr bullshit radar...and this sent my radar into overdrive.

If and when a new album is anounced it will be either on stage at a gig, or through a radio or on camera interview.
Treat anything else with suspicion.

[Catcher88]

When it comes to GNR you have to careful. More than 80% of the 'news' is bullshit, and some of that 80% even includes things that band members say. So, such a release in that form must be bullshit.
Allthough... Offcourse there's going to be a new album in 2012....but the post never said it would be a GNR album  ....

[shackler in the rye]

I think were looking at 2013/14

[*Estranged*]

I really hope I get to see a few more albums in the coming years, but as long as they keep touring i'm happy

[Andy Rose]

I just want them to stop recycling old projects and staff axl had hidden in his closet.

I want them to make new music together and see what they come up with

Sadly it would be fake for simple reason of Tommy has said in a interview not that long ago saying that they had no plans 2 enter the studio anytime soon.

Noooo, I definetly want to hear songs like 'The General' and 'Soulmonster' now  . The band allready made the expectations very high for those songs  + I'd like to hear a song where that 'Checkmate'-part will end up.
I'd also really like to hear 'Down by the ocean' now (starring Izzy, I thought).

[Crazy Child]

I'll believe it when I see it!

Off topic, but I remember a good few years back [think it was 06/07] I went into [the now bankrupt] retailer, Music Zone Direct to buy a replacement copy of Appetite, when the guy serving me proclaimed "we'll be getting their new album in store in a few weeks" before proceeding to show me the list of forthcoming new releases, which did indeed include Chinese Democracy. What the fuck went on there like?

Yes off topic, a bit, but still relevant to the history of G'n'R! Maybe the clerk had inside info, or he was a sociopath who liked to fuck with people's heads. Another thought is that a release date was given, then pulled back. That would not be the first time G'n'R has done that!
