I think a new GN'R album from Guns N' Roses is a hard thing to comprehend for fans, simply because it's been so long since we've heard new material. Don't forget, all of the songs on CD except for Sorry and This I Love were known by fans for a good few years before the album came out. I hope that in the case of a new album, it comes out with the bulk of the material being completely knew and unheard by fans, that would be awesome.
My hope is that when they announce a new album, they start playing 1 or 2 songs from it. But then the other 11 songs or so are kept secret until the release day of the record. I can't even imagine how godly it will be for Guns N' Roses to release a new album, because the journey with CD was
so long and trecherous, it almost seems like an impossible feat for GN'R to release a brand new record.
Would be amazing though...
I wish there was a way to make the confused Scooby-Doo noise an emoticon. This will do:
. Scraped was a mystery til the album dropped, Shackler's premiered in Rock Band as the band intended, and the Prostitute leak came came close enough to the end. If the World, same deal. Plus This I Love, Sorry. Beyond that... I don't think leaks really do much harm. You like music or you don't. Hardcore fans buy it no matter what, casual fans will listen to it online first or listen for a radio single.
I don't think it's an imposible feat at all. I think, honestly, if they had some label support, they could have an album out in a year. And the stupid thing is, if a new Guns album did even the numbers CD did in first week sales it would be a huge success given how low sales have gone.
I'm with you though - would be amazing
