Here Today... Gone To Hell!

In the Lisbon press release, he said a release date w/in the next few months.  

That would be June 30th.

I don't see it happening.

Why does 'a few' means 3?

I wouldn't take anything this band or management says to heart.

Axl also said 'see you next summer' at RIR3

The man clearly has severe psychological problems at this stage - nothing he says should be taken too serioulsy, i honestly wonder if he has any idea what's going on - not only in the GNR camp but in the world at large.

I don't think he's that mad!

I hope he isn't either

But lets look at the facts

He has spent 10 years hidding away - flatly refuses to talk to his fans, cancels shows and then lies that he never authorised them

This man is not all with it - remember he never was and has admitted psychological problems in the past

He is not behaving rationally - but it goes even beyond that - he is acting very strangely

I think the reason is because he's ill - i would be open to other explanations of his derenaged behaviour.

Ir?s all part of the master plan :rofl:No really Axl doesn?t work with the rule of fucking reality.

Dont count on it.... ::)

But some rumomrs on this board said something about a announcement... :-X

So lets see... :P

To use the words of Axl, someone thinks they know what's going on but really have no idea.

No.  A few means 2.  He's overdue again.  Doesn't bother me this time, I'm use to it.

Can't help but laugh a little cause this time it's Axl who's frustrated over the whole thing.  It's done and he has to screw around with legal issues.  Kind of like sitting in court and the federal building gets blown up isn't it?

Uh no.... If Axl said "In a couple of months" that would mean two.

A couple = 2

A few= 3

The thread starter is right.

Got to give a month as a token, so I would say even 4 months could be considered in the few statement. Beyond that, and he should have said "In a half a year" or " In a year"....or "In a couple years"

...or "In a FEW years"

...goddamnit, we really are never going to get this album are we?

:hihi:

Is that a shot at me? Or a shot at Axl?

If Axl knew what was going on it wouldn't be 11 years since the last GNR album of new material - some bands have churned out 5-6 albums in that time - the band had only been together for 2 years by the time Afd went out.....

'A few' is a very subjective phrase. I would take it to mean anything including 3, 4, 5, or 6 months.

There's not much point debating what 'a few' means.

Typical of Axl's answers regarding CD.

When he said see you next summer, I think he meant it. I can accept that something happened in the space of a year which affectd things. However, when he says a few months, I expect to hear something within 5 or 6. If I don't I'll genuinely be annoyed.

I hope he can show he means something when he says it at least once.

: ok:  ;)

Re: a Few means 3

A few: a small number / not many...

I'm hoping for 3 myself though...   :peace:

I really don't think we should be playing psychologist here. Unless you talk to him in his daily life, you have no idea how he's behaving.

Maybe he is actually better than usual because he doesn't have to put up with the public. Not releasing an album is not what i consider to be deranged behavior.

And i wouldn't say he's hiding away, just because you don't here about him, doesn't mean he is hiding away. It's like he said before, he goes out all of the time. And you make it sound like he has alzheimers, how would you know that he has no idea of what's going on if you have never talked to him personally? your psycho analysis seems pretty off base here, not saying he doesn't have problems because he has admitted before that he does, hell we all have some kind of problems.

a few doesn't mean 3 months ... pal

Great post. What exactly does a few mean then? since you seem to think you are the human dictionary. Read motherfunkers post, he pretty much gets what a few means.





Problem solved.

Who knows what 'a few' means. Its pretty obvious that Axl works on his own terms and his own timescale. The guy is practically nocternal, sleeps during the day and goes out if at all, at night!

The only good thing is that something has to happen eventually, in this day and age hes not going to be able to keep it locked up forever, somehow it will get out. Someday!

How sad that we are arguing semantics? Is there really nothing else going on?  :no:
(You won't hear anything  till Sept at the earliest, IMO)

Chinese Democracy to be released 11/30/04

From another forum:
Metal fanzine, Little Hammer, has revealed that Axl Rose is planning to release to his infamous opus, Chinese Democracy, by the last week of November 2004.

"Rose, the last remaining member of 80's rockers Guns n'roses, is being taken to court in August by ex-members, Slash and Duff, over the controlling rights of old Guns n'roses material. Further to the recent cancellation of a planned 2004 European tour, Rose revealed to a concert organiser that he will move forward with 'Chinese Democracy' after this, and all other legal activity has been dealt with..."

 :yes:

The definition of Few:  Who gives a fuck?  If someone actually believed Axl would give a release date in a few months then you're pretty gullable.  If you were Axl, what the hell would you say in a press release about Buckethead quitting the band?  You wouldn't say, "The release date for Chinese Democracy will be announced in two years," because then people would be extra mad on top of Bucket leaving.  The "few months" thing was just to ease the tension and frustration.  

Axl will want to play huge festivals and a strong US tour to promote CD before it comes out. He wants to build up enough publicity on it. He isnt just gonna release it without a huge tour first

Remember the 2002 tour was announced end of September, started November and was supposed to go into January. That's less than 4 months (cut down to three with it's cancellation of course).

What I'm saying is November is 5 months away. 5 months is a long time and a lot can happen.

As for Axl bullshitting about the few months thing, I don't think he would do that. He's put his money where his mouth is pretty publicly with that press release and I think he wouldn't do that unless he has some idea of when things are gonna get going. It was some off the cuff comment like "see you next summer" at a concert.

Maybe I'm just hoping, but one more bit of faith, if I'm gonna have it, might as well go on what he says rather than some of the rumours that fly around here.

@#$%Muther

We all know that Axl knows more about what's going on then the rest of us do.As we all know he's not a stupid person and I think that he will release something soon,I hope.Anyway,the word few doesn't mean 3.it can mean 8 or 9,who knows,not us,we don't know what he meant by saying a few months. : ok:

If the date is for lats week of November that means we would get a single and video at the end of october or beginning of NOvember. And a few weeks before that we would get a bigass press release that announces everything.....so if November is the month then October maybe September is the month we get the news and plans.....

IMHO ...

A few means soon is not the word ...

When are people going to realize that you cannot hold Axl to anything. If Axl released a statement saying :

Fans,
Recording is going swimmingly. As I said before, the departure of Buckethead really opened things up for some inovative recording. I will have a completed copy of Chinese Democracy in your hands on November 23rd. I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed making it for you.

Thanks for understanding
And as always the Sky is Blue.

W. Axl Rose



I wouldn't believe one word. That statment would make me think that Bucket was in the band, the haven't recorded anything, the album isn't called Chinese Democracy, there isn't a November 23rd (November goes 20, 21, 22, 24, 25) and the Sky is most definately not blue.

How can anyone think that he is going to release a statment about CD's release just because he said we'd hear in a gew months..............As far as we know Axl might only think he's been working on CD a few months.....something isn't right with that guy.

My sentiments exactly

Axl no longer makes any sense - placing any faith in his words is a waste of time

I interpret 'a few' as meaning 'soon' but Axl said 'soon is not the word' - so where that leaves us i have no idea :nervous:

I dont see axl releasing the new album anytime soon

I'd guess sometime around 2007 we might see a CD to collaberate with the 20th ann. of AFD

The problem is, is that time is very relative.

There is the New York Minute.

When fans show up to a Lakers game, they usually fill in much later than game time because they are on Los Angeles time.

I was watching Reno 911 and they addressed something called CPT. If any of you watch it you know. Lol...

Women have there body clock ticking...

Anyway my point is, is that, Axl is on Axl time. We just need to try to figure out what that means.

This is a mathematical formula that needs to be decifered. I suck in math, but maybe one of you is really good at these kind of math problems.

Once we figure out the formula, and have our results, we will know when Chinese Democracy will be released.

soon = XY
Few months = x... well you get the picture.

Thank god for Contraband!

Regardless we hope to announce a release date within the next few months.

Axl hoping for a release date... Not promising....

Well, like I said before, Axl's statements always seem to be vague as to a release date but I still don't understand posts like this. Yes he's taken an age, yes he's vague, yes it's getting on my tits waiting, but when has he ever said anything definate in a press release and then it turned out to be bullshit?

I doubt things because of how long it's taken, and Axl's seemingly weird behaviour, not on his past record of press releases which never came true. This being because there hasn't been any.

@#$%Muther

CD will take as lone at Brian Wilson's SMILE to come out

This thread is sorta like when Clinton argued the meaning of the word "is."  :smoking:

Regardless of what a few means, Axl surely didnt intend 3 months

I don?t think even Axl knows when the damn album is coming out anymore .
