Iron City Rocks: Is there more [Guns N' Roses] material in the future?

Dj Ashba: Absolutely, yeah absolutely."

Dj also alleges studio output is GN’R’s “main focus right now”.

Thank you to FunkyMonkey of Here Today…

[B.I.T.C.H]

Yeah, surely. Sometime around Christmas... 2020.

But on the other hand the talk about they're working on new material is good news

[Euterpe]

Tommy said they haven't even been in the studio. I'll take his word over DJ's

[B.I.T.C.H]

Yeah, Ashba surely talks tons and tons of shit.

[Catcher88]

I don't care when, as long as they are an active band (so touring or publishing).

If Axl wants a new record, there's going to be one, the man gets things done  !

[SoulMonster]

[Axl] gets things done  !

Excuse me, this is not the sarcasm thread.

[fan]

Unfortunately Axl once said he hoped to get another one out in their lifetime. That didn't sound like he's planning to release much material from the Chinese sessions.

Didn't Tommy also say they recorded a shitload of material and it was ready for Axl to add his input, but he doesn't know if it ever happened? I think a lot of music is recorded, but it takes a lot of time before Axl adds all of his finishing touches.

[ALLLOCKEDUPINSIDE]

Is this like the 8th time he's said it? 

[slashthe2nd]

Is this like the 8th time he's said it? 

Probably more

[*Estranged*]

Why would DJ go out of his way to lie about something like this? it doesn't make sense, I believe him..as to the future, well, that depends all on Axl.

[Awalker28]

I don't believe what DJ says.

[Randy Jesus]

I don't believe what DJ says.

DJ knew about the tour and was talking about it before any other member acknowledged or perhaps knew about it.

[Euterpe]

DJ knew about the tour and was talking about it before any other member acknowledged or perhaps knew about it.

So?

[shackler in the rye]

he may be telling the truth, just because axl may not be working on stuff with tommy does not mean he isn't working on stuff with DJ

[Exitus]

The whole band hasn't been to a studio together... Doesn't mean Axl hasn't been working with Dj. But, whatever they did, would be considered as "demos". It will be a long time until they all will be recording this stuff, especially with a long tour ahead of them right now.
I think the tour is the “main focus right now”.

[abaraxas]

While my knee jerk reaction is to dismiss this as more shameless cross/self promotion, whats he supposed to say?
Its nice of the guys in GNR to try and answer questions and generate goodwill even though I doubt any of them know what "the plan" is either.

Im sure DJ and the other musicians are writing new stuff all with the intention of it being used in a GNR song, it wouldnt suprise me if Axl Rose gets stuck into the piano regularly...but given the track record of GNR when it comes to new albums I call BULLSHIT on all this until we actually hear/can purchase some more unheard stuff.

After years of chinese democracy saga,  I cant bring myself to give a fuck...until Im actually listening to some unheard stuff.

[jplpool]

whats he supposed to say?

Excellent point, this place would go into meltdown if he answered "absolutely NOT!"

[shackler in the rye]

If you look at every member, each one of em (exept frank that i know of) is a song writer in there own right, and i'm sure they have all written and demo'd songs they hope will be on the next record.
This is nothing new, i have heard or read in the past somewhere (forget where i'll try find it) that one of the reasons uyi 1 & 2 were a double record is that each member of the band bought in there own songs and axl felt he needed to let these members shine on these songs to stroke there ego's a little so that the band might continue, i get the feeling that this has never fully been the (axl rose show) it has been portrayed as in the media, and considering this i think that either of a few things will happen/

1, The welth of backed up material will be added too by a few new songs and released as a double album in 1 to 2 years.. or

2, A new album will be written by the current line up, resulting in a long period of time without playing live,and the album would come out in 3 or 4 years but with all new material

3, I'm a verry drunk man right now

4, Macaroni predicament cover album is unleashed on the world, DJ comes out as gay...bumblefoot come's out as the second coming of christ and they have a light sabre style fight using dizzy's and pitmans keyboards as light sabre's ....(richard cries in corner)

5, Im drunk

[abaraxas]

You must be drunk-it definitely is the Axl Rose show...he owns it.

[shackler in the rye]

Maybe but i think he does more to include the other members in this than he would otherwise need to, he must in his heart see this as a BAND otherwise he could just as easly tour as AXL or NEWGNR.

 

[jplpool]

Axl does nay play guitar, bass, or drums, so yeah, defo the Axl Rose show. 

[abaraxas]

You know exactly what I meant, dickbreath.
All the other guys are employed by Axl, right?
Hes the boss, Im just stating the truth-no need to defend Axls honour (again) 

[jplpool]

dickbreath.

[taker]

"whats he suppose 2 say?" (Quote from Abaraxas)

I agree with you. Look everyone complains on this forum when anyone in the band says (yes there is other stuff ) but mostly DJ which seems a little harsh sometimes. I mean dont get me wrong im not defending the guy. Just saying that you know what would you pever him 2 say (no there is no stuff at all and not coming out in the forsable future). MAYBE just maybe some ppl on this forum should stop complaing soon as they hear some gd news.

Not saying that everyone does it but it always seems 2 be the same old ppl complaing about this. And would you like more to not hear 1 single word off a member if the band for like 9 months staright or someone in the band to ACTULLY take the time 2 talk. websites/radio stations etc.

seriously guys sometimes swear some ppl just wont 2 complain on this forum. Yes we know GNR are not the most vocal of bands with plans etc never have been. and yes dont get me wrong i dont like it much myself. But thats the way it is with them. always has been always will be. So if all you guys are going 2 do is complain about (o yea there is other stuff so why has it not been let out old story) Maybe you should take a look at yourselfs and question wither you want 2 follow this band or not. If not you know were the door is. Now i know this sounds harsh. And i know most ppl on this foum are fine but do get sick and tierd of the same ppl complaining about everything. (sorry for rant)

Tommy said they haven't even been in the studio. I'll take his word over DJ's

How can someone be in a studio recording material if they were touring SA and now US? If they want to spend like... 3, 4 days in the studio, ok. But I doubt the main focus of the band would be studio output. There isn't coherence at all, just like everything DJ has been saying over the past months.

DJ knew about the tour and was talking about it before any other member acknowledged or perhaps knew about it.

So...? Everyone knows that some band members mentioned at some point that they were planning to tour but in the end it didn't happen. Do you think they're still stupid enough to talk about GNR plans like DJ is doing? Sorry, but the only pathetic promotion whore on the band is DJ, not Bumblefoot or Tommy.

I wish Ashba would just SHUT THE FUCK UP already because he made several fans wait for a new record when in fact nothing proves that it'll come out really soon. Fans were expecting an album this years and it didn't happen. We don't know when the album will come out (or if it ever will since Axl doesn't seem to care about anything) but DJ saying that the main focus right now would be studio stuff isn't smart. It simply can't be truth. The band is touring and unless Axl rents a studio on every country they've played this year, Ashba is talking out of his ass.

He's an average (very, very generic) guitar player but his constant bullshit and promotion whoring (is that even a word?) makes me hate him everytime he opens his emo mouth.

I'm not trying to take a cheap shot at the guy (or any of his fans) or anything like that, but this is getting ridiculous.

[Bruno Poeys]

Uh, DJ's quotes? I didn't necessarily had to quote you, but I wanted to make sure that I agreed with your statement even though I didn't do it how I should

Dj also alleges studio output is GN’R’s “main focus right now”.

Ohhh, thanks for clearing that up. I couldn't figure out why you quoted me. I got it now

Sorry, but my english isn't that good and I don't know how to express myself correctly all the time

[Catcher88]

Excuse me, this is not the sarcasm thread.

I don't follow you're remark. You mean Axl doesn't get things done when he wants to? As far as I know it has allways been about Axl achieving anything he wants (making the show bigger, kicking Gilby out, using a more industrial aproach, continue the band with all other members and making CD with them,...). If you mean he's used to take his time to get things done, than I agree.

I think he wanted CD released earlier, the booklet to be correct, the Better video to be released, all the cancelled concerts to have been played, etc. So no, he doesn't always achieve what he wants, and when he does, it often takes him extraordinary long time to do it.

[GnFnRosesfan#1]

After hearing the interview, I personally like DJ. I think he could really bring something good to any future guns music. WIth his writing and producing background I think he could be a real asset. I also think any music he brings to the table is gonna have more of a classic gnr sound to it. I know a lot of you dis like him but does anybody else agree with me?

Let's see first what music he'll bring on the table.

I have to say no, based on Ashba's previous musical endeavours. I agree that he will bring a more 80's sound to Guns, but not a Guns N' Roses sound. Guns were (just!) different enough from the rest of the hair metal bands to be judged as something different I think, but Ashba has never done anything to prove himself in the same ballpark as Guns were. I worry about his writing input to be honest. But what do I know - I've not heard what he is supposedly working on.

Pull the proverbial banana out of your ass, We all know Bumblefoot is superior to Ashba. But it appears that Axl is hanging about Ashba more than the others in the band and working on material at least according to the lead cheerleader baz. Sure it may sound generic but at least Ashba's songs get played on the radio. Nothing against the other guys, and I am a big Bumblefoot fan, but the truth is that Ashba sells.

Chinese Democracy wasn't a comercial album and sold very well. Anything under the GNR name would sell, actually - it's just a matter of promoting the thing. What would you like to hear - Mi Amor/Ballad of Death-like of songs or Shackler's, Chinese and Riad-like songs - ballsy songs with real Hard Rock and experimental (phenomenal) guitar playing?
I don't care if it'll sell more or less. I do want to hear quality songs and Ron/Bucket can deliver it.

Radio play helps grow the fanbase. I am sorry to say that but it is true.

Again I don't really agree with you yet. The correct booklet and the Better video are not entirely off the table, as far as I know (only if new material will be released or an official cancellation from the band takes place I'll agree with you), and the cancelled concerts can as well been seen as Axl's will put through. Offcourse it wasn't all ideal and exactly as planned, but I meant it's all about whether his general goals make it or not, and they do as I see it. With his failing timemanagement I - as I said - do agree.

I agree, I guess, since I don't expect his contribution to be worse, on the contrary! I like his solos, like his stage performances too and don't really hate him for his frequent promises and his media attention (the band needs it a bit; without him the band might disapear from the world again each time they're not touring). But offcourse, we can't say anything for certain yet.

[IsaiahBerlin]

Well... Right now i'm more concerned about the way he fucked up This i love Solo...

[Bruno Poeys]

Well... Right now i'm more concerned about the way he fucked up This i love Solo...

Judging by how Ron played the solo I'd give it to him. He's more than capable of doing justice to the solo - DJ's solo isn't half bad, but Ron's was much better and sounded much more beautiful.

It'll happen when it happens. No use waiting for it.
