Spoke to @Slash last night and he said he is working on new songs for the next Conspirators album.

It is a disappointment.

I expected more from Axl Rose, expect more respect for the fans who follow him for decades .

I wish a Merry Christmas to Axl Rose, and that one day he respects the fans that made him famous and full of money

Your expectation is your problem. And you're creating your disappointing conclusions. No one other than those directly involved know anything. Eddie Trunk knows nothing. He's only self-promoting and purporting his own self-appointed, self-proclaimed authority.
Wishing Axl Rose a Merry Christmas is a wasted gesture. He does not know you. He will not receive your wish. Because of your complete lack of relationship, using his name in such an knowingly empty pleasantry is blatantly spiteful and callous.
Who are you to claim what deems his behavior disrespectful? What has he done other than deliver Guns N' Roses in the best way possible for all those decades? What could you possibly know about his business?
You come across as selfish and ungrateful.

Wonderful

Right?

Makes sense.

Maybe next time you want to make an uneducated generalization, you could make one about how no other fanbases compared refugees trying to survive with releasing an album?

Look, We Joke.  We Break Balls.  Sometimes, We Outright Fight.  But Anyone Still Choosing To Post Here, We Are All On The Same Team.

That's pretty cute.

Is Fernando's announcement considered clickbait ? 

[D-GenerationX]

Is Fernando's announcement considered clickbait ? 

Hahahaha

Legit question.

[EmilyGNR]

Is Fernando's announcement considered clickbait ? 

Only if he creates a blog or "news" site and posts

"You won't believe what's in store next for GNR-  Click here to find out!"

Oh, he would have to be proactive about it?

He's got no worries then.

Not really.

I mean you can question his motives or whatever, but its not clickbait. He's not running a blog, or a news site, and using misleading or over sensationalized headlines to drive web traffic to it. Hell, even here on htgth, its buried in a completely different topic...it doesn't even have its own discussion thread. Nor does it have an article link on the main page.

So, no..not clickbait. At all.

Sort of on that same note...are we sure that news he was talking about wasnt the merch site revamp/relaunch? He mentioned that some time later....i was never sure if that was the original news he was talking about or not.

Well my god, I think we would all hope that wasn't it.

He dropped that "2-4 months" line when we were asking him about band defections and what the plan was going forward. 

I would certainly hope his answer to such was not to tell us to us to sit tight, because the 'Welcome To The Jingle' shirts were already being produced.

I know we hope it....i mean, i do to. But are we sure?

I mean, the new "old" merch was a pretty big deal, here.

[D-GenerationX]

I know we hope it....i mean, i do to. But are we sure?

Well, no, not really.  And I can't say I'd be shocked if they tried to run that up that flagpole.

Just another in a line of "well, technically...technically, I'm saying...." sort of explanations from them.  If we even got that much.

Poor you, nobody holds your hand and informs you with step by step on internal GNR business. You are so abused 

When there is information ready, it will be publicly shared.

Well, actually, to be honest?  That is sort of hard to understand.

Can you shed any light?

Are people really losing their minds because Slash is working on other songs as if thats the only possible thing he could be doing now. Seriously people get off the ledge's. there are alot of musicians today as we know who have multiple bands they play in look at DJ Ashba people can multi task whos to say slash can't be working on his own stuff while potential reunion with Axl is also in the works.

Guess you haven't heard:  Dj quit GNR to focus on his other band.

I dont think this is the case. I think if that were the case, then after the old new merch/welcome to the jingle stuff came around and we were still discussing the announcement, someone would have told us "hey guys, that was the announcement. stop waiting for another one."

and i also dont think it was going to be about a new website either, since he already said they were working on a new website or something. so that and the announcement also seemed to be two different things.

who knows, maybe the announcement is being saved as a christmas present or another reason to celebrate on new years.

any input you could give, jarmo? do you think weve already received the announcement Fernando was talking about, or do you think he was talking about something else? i think many of us are under the impression that the upcoming announcent was not about merch.

Yes i know that. And how do we know he didn't work on GNR material while also doing sixx a.m. stuff. The point was that alot of musicians these days are involved in multiple bands.

I agree with this, pretty much.

Not that there is not a market for that merch, because I'm sure there is.  But I don't really think he'd treat that like huge news and try and build it up.

the merch is great. my old lady surprised me with a long sleeve afd cross shirt in the mail the other day, along with a hundred bucks to spend on video games and a can of san marcos whole jalapenos... you cant really get jalapenos in japan, so its really awesome and nostalgic to have them here.

but anyway, the announcement is the main reason i keep coming back every day. if i know its not coming, thats my cue to forget about gnr for a while, take a break, stop fixating on it so much. not trying to force info out of anyone or sound demanding, but if the announcement was about the merch, that would definitely be nice to know.
