Basically dizzy says that a february release seems more likely than a november one. Looks strange that he still doesn't rule out Chinese Democracy coming out in a month time!!.

pd: sorry for my spelling, i'm from spain.

Thanks dude.

Here's the article:

Guns N' Roses "Chinese Democracy" May Surface in Feb
 

10-20-04
.
(antiMUSIC) If you were hoping for a Guns N' Roses Christmas, there is still a remote chance that will happen but we will more likely see the long awaited release of 'Chinese Democracy' in February... if things go according to current plans. 
antiMUSIC spoke with long-time Guns N' Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed this week to follow up on an interview he did with Richmond.com last month, which was picked up by some internet music news sites last week, where he said of the release of the album, "They were originally shooting for November, but it may be February now."

A lot can change in a month so we asked Dizzy what the plans look like now. He reiterated the November target and February fallback. He told antiMUSIC that the November release still has a remote possibility of happening, but the February release is more likely. However, he said that the only definite answer he could give is that it will "be out soon". 

Dizzy seems confident in the final product. He told us that he heard a few of the finished tracks recently and they sound great. 

Meanwhile, Dizzy isn't sitting around waiting for the release. He has spent the past few months touring with his band " Dizzy Reed's Hollywood Bulldozer".  During these shows Dizzy and company treat fans to rock classics from bands like Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, The Who, Bowie, The Stones and yes GNR, interspersed with a little humor between songs. The band kicks off another leg of their tour this week on the East Coast (see below). 

Dizzy is the second longest standing member of Guns N' Roses, he joined the group during the "Use Your Illusion" sessions. 

Dizzy Reed's Hollywood Bulldozer Tour Dates
10/20 Mexicali Blues, Teaneck, NJ
10/21 Northeastern University, Boston, MA 
10/22 Washington & Lee University, Lexington, VA
10/23, Lincoln Theatre, Raleigh, NC 
10/ 29 University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 
10/30 Ned Devine's, Hernden, VA

Strange goings on

Given the nature of the bands they are covering I'd quite like to see Dizzy's band, but doesn't look like much chance of coming to the uk!

Be welcome!!.

Is it possible for a music cd to hit the stores in more o less a month's time with zero publicity at the time being (now)????.

Let's hope anyway that dizzy is correct and actually knows the current status of cd :beer:

I hope it'll be released after april, april fools day just isn't fun without fucking with gnr fans :D:D

For all we know that interview could have been taken a month ago.

True, we don't know for sure what date the interview took place on. But, the date on the actual article is: 10-20-04

Isn't it funny how people in the band(other than axl) refer the band as 'them'? Another thing that bugs me about this (and every other GnR interview) is when they say they've heard 'a couple' of tracks.... I find it hard to believe the artists in this band would only have heard a couple of the finished tracks. If it were me I'd have a bootleg of it already and listening to it everyday, assuming it's 'mind blowing' and 'fucking huge' or whatever we've heard.

I hope Dizzy knows what he's talking about. I think I believe what he says over anybody else at this point since he is more than likely the closest to Axl.

Anyways, thanks for posting the article.

Well, they did say that they spoke to him this week.  Seems current to me.

Last year it broke my heart, so please let it be out before april fools.  :P

every freakin 2 months dizzy freakin reed says that "it will be out real soon"

why do people lsiten?

Axl is probably ultra paranoid about the album getting leaked. He is probably keeping the thing under lock and key. It sounds like Tommy and Dizzy both heard these so called final mixes around the same time. I doubt Axl would allow them to have copies of the album.

Slash said it best in an old interview with NME shortly before illusions were released. When asked about the album he said "Everythings been really fucking hush-hush and no one knows what the fuck we're doing" Seems that this attiute has been transported from the old band into the new one and since there are only two original members i wonder who is responsible for that. My money is on Dizzy!  :)

"antiMUSIC spoke with long-time Guns N' Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed this week to follow up on an interview he did with Richmond.com last month, which was picked up by some internet music news sites last week"

I think that should show that the interview is current, from this week. 

WTF now February? This happens EVERY time. Every time they give us a date and we get close to it, they change it 3 months ahead of that date. By Christmas nothing will happen, people will start to make rumors that a spring release will be better. Then in the spring something will happen in the band, someone will release a solo album and they wont want to release Chinese Democracy. And just more BS in the summer. I remember back in 2002 when people where joking around about a 2005 release. We all laughed at them. WELL LOOK WHOS LAUGHING NOW!

I've waited for this damn thing far to long. Give ME my god damn music I DESERVE Axl. I went to your shity concert in Fargo and Minneapolis. I paid $100 three years ago to see you live, and in return you have given me nothing. What a joke.

Maybe it's part of the security concerns, to keep CD from leaking?

U2's Edge misplaced a CDR of their latest album on a photo shoot..  :hihi:

What did you pay for? I thought you paid for concert tickets and actually got to see concerts.  :o




/jarmo

Nobody with anything to do with the band has ever given us a release date.

P.S. Calm down fag.

Does anyone know what songs Dizzy plays by those bands mentioned in the article?

Correct me if I'm wrong... So, basically IF Chinese Democracy is due between November '04 and February '05, we would be getting some news between any time now and the last weeks of december, in regards to a single n' tour n' shit...
But that just seems so out of bounds right now..
Now wait a minute, and let me take this "an extra step further" :peace: :hihi:... Seriously, if they're on the way of settling a release date and tour in the timeframe that seems to be "within the next few months", there's very little time, and that would also mean 2 things: 1.) that they do not intend to replace Buckethead, and the Bumblefoot affair was another Ajax Garcia hoax, or 2.) that Buckethead may have already been replaced with none of us knowing, like when Richard joined the band, we knew nothing about it till it was officially announced on gnronline, or 3.) I must be reading too much into the lines.. :-X


Rock on

This is very possible because we do know how parnoid Axl is...  I think it is somewhat understandable too. Imagine if the early stuff they did leaked and everyone was like "this blows". We pretty much know they have changed the songs drastically. Or at least they better have since it has taken so damn long.

But at the same time, once the CD goes into mass production you can pretty much guarantee somebody is gonna smuggle it and boom... it will be all over the P2P networks.... I worked at Sony Manufacturing for about 3 months. One thing I know is that it would be so easy to steel an album/dvd/game/etc. without getting caught. At least you probably wouldn't get caught until axl & co found out... there are cameras everywhere so they could go back and find out who did it. But once it's out there ain't nothing Axl can do about it. It will spread like wild fire.

To put it into perspective, on my last day at Sony nobody asked me for my badge which is also a key. I could probably walk in there today and not a damn thing would happen. It's funny too because they have security guards at the doors. I carried a bag everyday in and out and they only checked it like twice.

They are just putting off the inevitable. At least when it does leak it will hopefully be the album they intended us to hear.

YES!  ;D -? ok:? :beer:? : ok:? :beer: :beer: :beer:  :D  ;D  : ok:

uhm....hmmm a thread made out of emoticons....cool....I think its gonna be locked...but I would like to say before it does get locked...that I WANT CHIDEM TO COME OUT AROUND XMAS. :rant:

I was loyal to him 3 years ago when he threw that shity tour, and in return I have nothing in my hand 3 years later.

be carefull! Carefull! ::)

All wrapped up with a St. Valentine's gift... :P

So what? Let me play a tiny violin...
If you didn't like the tour, you will not like the new album anyways. Why do you still even care about it?

 ???

I have heard "soon" and "possibly" many many times.  In February, the new date will be April, in April it will become July, in July it will become...well, you get the point.

they also, got the article! :hihi:

didn?t you guys understand ?!
they?ve been promoting Chinese Democracy for years with stuff like these
that?s the whole deal with the "I think nobody did something like that" from Tommy !

I believe the promotion for this thing will be like no other.


 :beer:
Rock On

Rancids' Tim Armstongs' side band The Tansplants have announced a realease date for their next record March 2005....thats almost 1/2 a year from now but at least their fans can expect to get something by then....why can't GNR do the same? If CD can realisticly come out by March/April. 2005 then just announce it.....if it comes out sooner like November :hihi: then so much the better. 

That's way too much for a GNR fan in their eyes.

Lets hope and pray

Its been 4 weeks - where is Dizzy's interview where he guesses at release dates.....oh wait here it is!

Does Dizzy pick these release dates out of a hat? Does he make them up? Is he on some kind of medication?

Why doesn't he just ASK AXL and get an answer - even if that was ''it won't be out till 2008'' atleast its accurate

I'm guessing for Dizzy's next interview he picks the 3rd May 1807 as the release date ::)

same vicious cycle, cycle vicious same, same vicious cycle, cycle vicious same, same vicious cycle....ad infinitum

Uh... do you think he hasn't asked Axl? The reason you don't get a date is because there is no date!


What we know is that RIGHT NOW they're still shooting for November and if that doesn't work, February.

It is that simple people! Now let's hope things work out.  : ok:

Last tour was at the end of 2002. So if I'm not mistaken, that is almost 2 years ago.

So that's why Dizzy keeps giving us one....?

It ain't coming in February, & it looks like it's never coming out. So sorry to bring you all down.

I'm thinking when people move on and stop debating a release date that has NEVER been confirmed, then the album will come out.  How does March 2005 sound...sounds likely to me.

Please read again:



Dizzy didn't give a release date, he said what they're shooting for, there's a BIG difference.

i'm sure we won't see chinese democracy in 2004!!!
we know new album will come one month before realised date,and before new album we will hear first single!!

There is no way they can still be shooting for a November release at the end of October surely?!

Febuary is realistic but then again this is GnR ain't it!

Is anyone going to see Dizzy's shows over the next few days. According to the 'related bands' section he is playing Boston (North eastern University) tonight.

Shit sorry about the verbal diorreah that is the five messages above!  :-[

Bullshit.

Then in January next year we'll get another interview saying now May. Don't believe a word till u see it for sale.

Thats wut i said. The same shit has been going on for like 4 or 5 years. They keep saying soon, or in a few months they hope. I find it very funny when they say "We hope it will be out in XXX months" and all the GNR fans are like "This is it! I have a feeling its coming!" Hahaha at all of you. I said as a joke 4 years ago that it would be out in 2005. And everyone laughed at me. WELL LOOK WHOS LAUGHING NOW. ME AT YOU.? :rofl:? :rofl:

But yes, I cant wait to hear wut AXL and the new band puts out. When that day comes, and for some reason I just cant see it, but when it does I have a feeling AXL will redeem himself.  :peace:

Don't bring the hopes and dreams of the rest of the G'NR fans.

If you didn't think it was coming out, then go post in the Chinese Democracy Frustration Thread in the Dead Horse Section.

Exactly.

 :rofl: :rofl: Please, I can't take it any more, someone make him stop  :rofl: :rofl: It's killing me!  ;D

@#$%Funker

Remember back at the VMA's when Loder interviewed Axl?  He asked Axl if CD would be out soon and Axl's response was "I wouldn't say soon, but it will come out."  That was two years ago.  The rumors of the release date have almost never come from the horse's mouth, it's always been some anonymous source.  Dizzy Reed and Tommy Stinson are two of the only reliable sources to speak on it recently. 

I don't know why the 2002 tour even happened to be truthful.  It probably had more to do with Axl appeasing the other people in the band than anything else.  Because Axl himself during that time that the album wasn't really close to being finished. 

...and even after that most (if not all) the gnr fans are skeptical. its rediculous that its come down to the fact that even the MEMBERS of the band can not be taken seriously..

Exactly I mean when Axl said in 2002 that he "wouldn't say soon" for when CD would be released, people should have realized that there was a lot of work and recording still to be done.  Yet the rumors swirled and people thought that the album was going to come out in early 2003 without anyone in the band even saying that it would, and without the record label issuing even a tenative release date like "Spring 2003".  It was just automatically assumed that the album was finished, but every rumor I ever heard like that wasn't a direct source.  The source of these rumors are from people who are actually in the band. 

I'll buy anything, but if this is the case wouldn't tommy know this and not even think about touring in those months if that was the case? ALso something needs to be in the works a few months before it comes out...

Here's a good research project... Anyone know what the various band members (Finck,Buckethead,Brain,Stinson,Reed etc.) were up to in the Spring/Summer of 2002 before they did their ill-fated GN'R tour? In theory, that should give us an idea of how quickly Axl can pull this group together and hit the road...

We're a week away from November....there are already 2 major releases ( U2's and Eminem's) on the way...there is NO WAY Chi Dem is out this year, folks...the best sign(s) of an album come out now are confirmed tour dates happening in Europe sometime in February or March. Surely, they won't tour without a record again... :-\

Does anyone think here that they will wait until a tour is organised before they announce a release date, or are they independent of each other.

He CAN'T tour without the new album if you ask me.

Exactly. You hit that one right on the head man.
