Yes.
Over the last couple of years various members of the band (mainly GNR spokesman, DJ Ashba) have been talking it up that a new album is "in the works" "top of the list" "lots of great ideas" etc., so after all this time surely they've got something new they could play, but it doesn't look that way.
Even if there's nothing brand new there's tons of Chinese Democracy material, that didn't make the album, lying in a vault in Axl's house ("at least 4 CDs worth of material", Sebastian Bach - former GNR spokesman). We've all read about these alleged songs "The General", "Zodiac", "Jackie Chan" etc., maybe they could have surprised the audience with one or two of these?
Hell, most fans would be happy to hear them play "Going Down" live, another one that didn't make Chinese Democracy, but exists "in the vault" and is out there if you know where to look.
But no. Same ol' setlist once again. The site I got the setlist from had the True Detective theme listed as track 4, which kinda got me excited to hear their cover version of it, but after checking Jarmo's twitter feed the track was only used as the intro, like Dexter theme was used previously. Ah well, at least we know Axl's new favourite tv show. :rolleyes:
Am interested in hearing Tommy Stinson doing Teenage Kicks, apart from that...meh.0 -

First of all, BELIEVE nothing that D.J Ashba says, the man is a liar....... The only way we'll hear these supposed ''4 cd's worth of material'' is when Axl eventually kicks the bucket....... His ''management'' will cash in to their hearts content....... It's all nostalgia now with a few Chinese songs thrown in.... If it's Axl who's picks the intro songs, then he has good taste in television shows.0 -

Oh believe me I know DJ Slashba is a big time spoofer, only there to flog his overpriced "Ashba-swag" rubbish and to use GNR gigs to advertise for Monster energy drink, so I take everything he says with a billion grains of salt. But when Richard Fortus was talking about a new album I was optimistic as he's not known for talking crap. I also doubt it's 4 cds worth of material, as Bach said. Remember this is the same Sebastian Bach who described Sorry as "doom metal" ha ha. :pac:
Axl did a Q&A a few years ago on HTGTH and his login was "Dexter". He was asked about this and he said it's after his favourite tv show. Around this time they began using the Dexter theme was the intro, so I'm guessing the same is happening now with the True Detective theme. Either way, a savage show!
They used to have a segment of "The General" playing as the intro music before getting replaced by the Dexter theme music, so that song is recorded, but for whatever reason it doesn't look like it's going to see the light of day anytime soon.
I'd love to hear another GNR record but won't hold my breath. Most fans would be happy if they re-released Chinese Democracy as a 2 disc, with the second disk being various demo tracks that were left over from the CD recording sessions, but the perfectionist in Axl probably won't allow that to happen. Which is madness, as most would much prefer to hear demos with Buckethead and Robin Finck playing on them rather than an album where Axl lets Slashba's generic playing completely take over... Bumblefoot is a beast of a player, Fortus too for that matter. Kinda funny that the so-called "lead guitarist" is technically the worst guitarist in the band.

I think there were a few others too but they were changed (again) before the album came along. So they are mostly just similar-ish."at least 4 CDs worth of material", Sebastian Bach - former GNR spokesman
I wouldnt believe Sabastian Bach if he told me the day of the week :pac:They used to have a segment of "The General" playing as the intro music before getting replaced by the Dexter theme music, so that song is recorded, but for whatever reason it doesn't look like it's going to see the light of day anytime soon.
Axl may have soured on it. Seemed to be what happened with Silkworms. That was leaked and played live somewhere around 2002 and has rarely been seen or heard of since. If Axl no longer likes it, it's gone for the foreseeable future.0 -

I thought the same thing because Richard Fortus isn't one to go running his mouth off like another certain guitarist in the band, won't name names but you know yourself who he is. As far as Sebastian Bach goes..... I think he's just like the rest of us in a way, patiently waiting for the next GN'R album...... If you head to Youtube there are snippets of the mythical ''The General'' available, it doesn't have vocals though, there are 1999 versions of a few songs on Chinese Democracy available on Youtube
I've always said it, If Axl does release the rest of the Chinese Democracy sessions, he should leave this as they are, untouched & unedited....... I was kinda iffy about Bumblefoot at first, but that opinion has changed.... He ain't afraid to speak his mind, and he's brilliant with fans............ As far as DJ Ashba goes, he's blacklisted in my book, the dude can't even play Robin Finck's solo in This I Love note for note0 -
