Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I know it seems like a morbid question, but it has been my theory for a long time that he is such a perfectionist that we won't get chinese democracy before he dies. But once he dies we could get 2-3 records, since they will want to capitalize on his death.  I been thinking more and more about this look at Dimebag Darrel. THey are releaseing a clothing line (that he was sorta interested in) now that he is dead. Look at Hendrix and how much more has been released since his death compared to his life. Same thing with bands like Nirvana.

Anyone else think we will have to wait until the unfortunate day that Axl passes away to get new cds from him?

i'd rather not have the guy dead..

yes.
granted its taking years...
but it will be released.
and then all this will be but just a memory  :peace:

If I could get CD I'd won't be too sad with Axl dieing... there is no difference now wheather he's dead or alive. ?We don't see him, don't get any music from him and not even a single message for his fans.

well i hope you have enjoyed yourself :beer:

there sure be dug up some material after his death, but we'll see a bunch of albums b4 that :peace:

um... I think there IS  difference to him and to those of us who care about him not just getting our hands on his music  >:(

Personally I think there's something really wrong with that opinion.

Actually this whole thread is stupid.


Usually the best artists are the ones who don't make music for you or me, they make it for themselves. Then if we're lucky they release it and we can enjoy it. Maybe even relate to the things they're singing about.

If you want to have you new material every year, go listen to something else.



/jarmo

the only way anyone will ever hear CD is when they pry it from axl's cold, dead hands.....

nah; axl has young blue hands  : ok:  and he isnt a perfectionist; I guess he is a day by day flyin' walker, still tryin to spray fortune and a lucky livin all over; yeah that has to be true, and perhaps a reason he still holds CD back.

He will never release it after he dies.
Apparently the dead can?t release any CD.

The record company can, but I?d rather not see such a release.
In that case, the album won?t have been what an artist thinks it should be. Without all GNR members? approval, it won?t be the Chinese Democracy. It?s not really the one we?re waiting for.

No offence but I?d rather not stumble upon this kinda kinky thread any more.

The scary thing is , just like us all Axl is only human. And his age is getting up there .. he could die from a heart attack , stroke , bad botox injection or what have you tomorrow. he could cross the street and get slammed by a bus. It would be a damn shame if Axl didnt get a chance to see his hard work come full circle and consumed by the public mass.

Maybe the album isnt finished , maybe axl doesnt have cofidence in the material , maybe the label doesnt have confidence in the material , maybe theres legal problems .. who knows?

All we can do is sit around and speculate when , where and why the album isnt out and when it will be.

wtf? just becuz u dont hear from a guy makes it ok for him to be dead? that's fucked up man

Well I don't know about Axl having to die but at his current rate, I'll be dead before it comes out :hihi:
Some of you folks take this man a little too seriously...but that's your perogative I guess...have Fun : ok:

He might as well be dead, he's already buried himself. :-\

I agree with Jarmo that this thread is stupid. No one can answer such a question. It's possible Axl could pass tomorrow (God forbid) and then he won't have lived to see it release, or he can live to he is 100 and I'd like to think it would be released in some fashion before then. In the end, CD doesn't really matter. I just hope Axl lives a long, happy, life.

99% of the threads on this forum are based on asking questions that we can never answer because Axl won't tell us what the heck is going on.  Without any real information or events to talk about we're left with baseless specuation.

I hope Axl lives a long happy life as well with the exception of one ass kicking he deserves for not getting the album done.

i think he will release the album when Geffen starts sue him for spending money of the company and not getting an album done , Axl has to have a contract were no one can force him to release the album if he doesnt wants , but if he does not take the album in a couple of years then Geffen will sue him probably.

Whatever it takes.........

OK, first thing I thought when I read the title of this thread:
"Bloody hell I hope so, and omg! What a horrible way to ask if ChiDem's coming out any time soon!"
Seriously! Its a horrible way to think! You, Takeshi wouldn't give a shit about Axl just so long as he released Chinese Democracy! But don't you ever think what will happen AFTER ChiDem's been released!? Don't you ever give a second of your thoughts to what might come after this long wait has come to an end!? If you don't, then you are a very shallow individual who can't see past the hysteria of ChiDem to what could be in store for you afterwards.
Chinese Democracy is not the be-all and end-all for Gn'R fans! Sure, its an important album, and I can't wait to get it, but Axl is not going to die the day after he releases it! He'll still be around (hopefully) to write more songs and create more albums!
Takeshi, you sicken me.

That we'll never get to hear.  ;D

"That we'll never get to hear." 

LOL!
That cracked me UP!

Haven't you guys ever heard of dark humor...I'm sure thread starter didn't mean any harm to braided one...why would he\she waste his energy on that?

I'm sorry dark Humor or not! This thread is just plain wrong!!!  :no:

Actually, this thread isn't stupid at all. Yea Axl is alive (well as far as we now, and that clone theory is just that), but for all intents and purposes he is. And that is how the man wants it. Its not wishing death upon him, so there is no need for you dudes to be all sensitive about it.

The great artists are not like Axl at all. I respect Jarmo, but I think he is a little off with what he said here. Whether the Beatles are ones cup of tea or not, there is no debating that they owned the music world like no other. Axl is the polar opposite. Whereas the Beatles had all the confidence in the world about there music and were the most proficient in there craft, Axl is not.

FUcking shame Axl couldnt take a hint from them, and keep his ass in the studio and perfect his abilities. Fuck live shows...Live shows is obviously not working out for him. I guess studio work isnt either.

OK, I just realized that I've made myself look REALLY stupid!
I have an apology to make to Takeshi! I didn't look at who the real thread starter was. For some reason I saw your name up there next to a not very nice comment (actually made by someone else).
I was too angry to check first, and now I've made a stupid mistake.
I'm really sorry! I feel reeally stupid now, so please forgive me for being such an idiot for not checking before I clicked Post.
All that post before was actually aimed at Starchild_666 for that incredibly selfish post.
Everyone who noticed my error, sorry! Takeshi doesn't sicken me! Its Starchild_666 who sickens me!!
*is extremely embarrassed by really really stupid mistake I made*
Sorry to all, but especially Takeshi! You didn't deserve that!
*goes away, hoping that people forgive me for such a stupid mistake* Gah!! Right now I want the ground to open up and bury me! Aaaaah!

Well regardless of when it comes out - I think we all earned or backstage passes by now......

you forgot to mention heat stroke or bowl explotion.....or newmonoultramitroscopicsilicovolcanoconniociese.........or AIDS!!!

I don't think there's much chance of that happening, he doesn't leave the house anymore!
If he did you know there would be photos all over the internet of him doing everyday things like shopping and eating in a restaurant.
Since we're on this morbid subject, have you ever thought that Axl may have written his will with specific instruction of what to do with CD in the unfortunate event of his demise?? He may stress that he want's it to be banished into oblivion if he passes away...
I think Axl want's this album to come out now, I think it is ready, well it was before Buckethead left cos you know Axl's gonna have someone come in and re-record his parts  :(
Knowing how Axl is (And the little jabs at Buckethead in the press release) do you really think he's gonna want a guy who left his band on an album that is so important to him?? Does he want Buckethead to gain even MORE recognition from a new GNR release??Of course not, he already thinks Bucket used his position in GNR to gain more fans. I wish Axl would leave it how it is (I love Buckets playing) but I really doubt he will.

 Its possible Axl dislikes BH as much as Slash at this point, so i dont think he will be on it. Especially if BH's playing makes the record kickass, that definately wont sit well because its Axl's masterpeice. Everone will say "whos that guitar player? then "oh, he left a couple years ago because Axl wouldnt release the record". I know Axl wont be happy answering questions like that.

Worst case scenerio, a different player re-records most of BH parts. Like OMG there could be 4 different guitar players credited with every song. Dizzy hinted that Slash and Duff could be on it. Not really them, but songs they helped on.

I'm afraid you are right  :(

Without any real NEW GnR news I am a little curious as to why my thread is so WRONG?  Personally it seems after one's death the celebrities family/record companies and what not whore out the dead one. 

I don't wish death upon anyone I thought it would be an interesting subject to debate, and that is what all message boards threads are ment for. For people to debate the subject.
