Would you rather hear: CD II, or new album by new lineup?

[Brundle25]

What if Slash has already recorded parts for cd2?

[ice road trucker]

cd 2 no questions asked

[HBK]

CD 2 with Bucket and Finck still on it

Yep. 

Obviously

If CD2 is more of CD... leave me out of it.

I tried to be... but it wasn't for me

It's great to see how many people would opt for CD2, which would be my choice also.

Just goes to show how much faith and love we have for Guns over the past 15 years.

Let's hope 2016 is the year!

CD 2 with Bucket and Finck still on it

and then CD3 with Finck and BBF on it and also CD4 with BBF and Ashba on it.
all that could be released around 2097 or so.

The idea of two brand new guitar players is very unappealing to me personally.

It's hardly ideal.  Especially if we would now be 2 line-ups removed from the stuff in the Magical Mystery Vault.

It was already a stretch considering DJ and Ron part of that.  Their replacements, now?

At what point does it become a bridge too far?

Both with a trick, a double album (CD II + a new album) by the classic line up

This.  I'm just hoping they're not going to bring aboard some other D-List stunt player like Ron to fill in for a tour.  My ideal situation would be for them to drop CD2 and bring back Robin & Bucket (who are on it) to tour on THEIR MUSIC.

If there are no plans to put out said album and move things forward, then for fuck sake, just bring back Slash and Izzy and tour.

Well, we don't know what the new lineup is yet - and in any case I don't think Axl is going to recruit two new guitar players, write and record an album with them and then release  it faster than he's going to release the stuff that we've been told for years is done or nearly done or what have you. 

The question is, though, what material is actually going to be on CDII?  If it's been around for years, why wasn't it on Chinese Democracy in the first place?  If Axl has had some grand vision with a place for every piece that's been written and so on, then fair enough; I just hope it's not an album of songs that weren't good enough to be Chinese Democracy (which was a very good album overall, but hardly flawless and has some weak songs on it).  I mean... it's one thing to have songs that for whatever reason weren't seen to fit with the ones on Chinese Democracy, but if it's an album of material that was considered weaker than fairly lightweight songs like Scraped or Riad N' the Bedouins, that's less appealing.

Totally.^....but I think Axl has some gems left over, I'd love to hear all the songs we'v heard about, unless of course they are mediocre at best.
 Slash is and has been touring with his band now anyways, so I doubt much is going on with him in Axl.  I'l take a new album any day over a reunion tour.

[Wooody]

My opinion as well. This is about the music first and foremost. And I think that GNR lost track of that. Yes they toured extensively, and yes fans liked going to their concerts, but I went to see them in 2006, that's almost 10 years ago? and Just one album?
I think they have done enough touring to keep every fan happy in the entire world to have gone and see them at least once !

Now, new music please !
