Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I wonder, How much time would it take Axl to release a New CD, when he releases Chinese democracy... (If he does it)..  I dont know ... how much time it is going to take... but Im pretty sure that he aint going to release "crap"...
what do you think-?

We dont need to worry about that right now all we need right now is Chinese Democracy

They are already done if what Axl said in 2002 is true. So help hope we really get that 3 cd in three or four year plan.

2 weeks.  : ok:

If the first album doesn't go over well......... we will never hear the others.

Pre-recording them all is retarded anyway because as a band you grow so much musically as you get out on the road and play together and get closer as a band. All the studio time in the world can't simulate that experience. By pre-recording everything in that you cheat the creative process that would have naturally come along as the band played more together and went through the early growth stage. By never recording again because you supposedly had everything done already, you never allow that growth as a musical entity to be put on an album.

And if you decide that you have come up with some new ideas and decide to record them, then this whole process and all the time involved has been a big waste of time as the whole goal of supposedly recording all these albums at once is so that they don't have to go into a studio again.

Either way, there is a reason this has never been done like this before. Because the formula doesn't work well. And that is not even a reference to starting up a new band with new members.

1 000 000 years!

I would say not too long. I think the reason why CD is taking so long is because they are collecting more and more songs once the three album's project is complete, the albums will drop one after the other..

THE HARDEST STEP IS THE FIRST ONE !

Well considering Chinese Democracy is taking this long, i think we have enough to worry about.
there might not ever be a 2nd one if the first one never comes out. :peace:

After the next Ice Age we`ll se the 2nd album.

Don't even go there!  ;D

Totally agree m8. i think about decade afta shes dead

Man, can you explain me more about the three album because i dont know anything about it... thanks :)

Maybe this one?

Thanks dude that was cool, I hope that is true by the way....

I think this really depends on CD. If CD is released, the band has a lot riding on the success of the album. If the album has great sales, then there may be later albums.. Who knows how long they'll take? If CD is released, and it's a bomb, then I think that will be the end of GNR... Anything they'll put out after a flop would kill them... I would hope that the "loyal" fans would buy all subsequent albums.... Of course, if CD is a bomb, it's more likely that no more records will be released... I strongly hope not, though...

You're kidding, right? Don't expect anything after Chinese Democracy. I truly believe its gonna be his last album. Thats probably one of the reasons it is taking so long. Thats why i'm really hoping for a 2 cd set. Even though a 2 cd set is unlikely. Consider Chinese Democracy to be Axl's swan song. Anything after CD will be icing on the cake. Hel, we'll be lucky if we even get CD.

I hadn't realized the fact that it might be the last GNR album, and it might be a great Thread by the way... "C.D. Last GNR Album?"
It might be sad, for all of us (Gnr fans) who have waited such a long period of time... I hope he understands that We will support him, no matter what kinda music he decides to make... anyway... only axl and time will tell---

Carlos Monta?o Serrano... Cbba Bolivia

hes to old i think Chinese demc will be his last.

Thats stupid!

 Helloooooo !?!!? Axl Rose is 43 Years old...????????? He aint old at all! How old is the guys in Aerosmith?? 55 or something?

One thing's for sure.

Once GN'R fans finally have Chinese Democracy in their hands, they'll be able to wait for the next albums standing on the heads!

Totally agree. If CD flops like a dick in the dirt, I think Axl will go back to his cave and this time leave the stone in front of it..

I dont think its so much a contention of "cheating the musical process" by pre-recording 3 albums at once, its more an issue of intelligence..The landscape of music and its genres & trends are continuously changing. What is the honest to god point of pre-recording albums years ahead of their tentative release if the material and music genre is outdated or extinct?? What was the big thing in 99? Rap/Metal and Industrial..lets say Axl recording CD's follups that far back or began them..is that material even relevant now? no, its seriously outdated and worn..What if while during the recording process the band were to write some emotional power ballad, and all the other material is rap/metal..obviously the track will stick out like a sore thumb..but lets say its a masterpiece..what happens? album formula and material must be revisited and reworked causing delays after delays...hmm sounds familiar :hihi:

either way, we'll never know if it's the last album or not

Press release: Axl Rose Announcing Retirement

I am hereby officially retiring from the music business. You will not see me or hear from me again ---

I think the post is premature. Even if the other 2 albums are done--which I doubt--the main thing is to get the first  one  out. Geez, it's been long enough, perfecting it and final  touches and so on and on....There is no way a second album  will be released within a 3  to 4 year time span. No  way.

I agree , the three album idea is not wise. Music is constantly evolving  - the only way this would work is if Axl has recorded three timeless albums, non specific to any genre, style or fad (eg. Appetite) - however, Axl is in a totally different climate than he was when he had to follow up Appetite and I think thats why we've waithed this long. When Illusions were being released, Guns were the biggest band in the world, following up a hit album of vast magnitude - this was prior (albeit only slightly ) to Nirvana, the rise of hip hop, pop etc... With CD, Axl is not following up a monster - there is a lot more riding on it, and there won't be the instant acceptance/sales that Illusions enjoyed solely because it was Guns...

so...  an absolute classic, flawless double album is what i'm dreaming of for CD, and i think perhaps that would be enough for me - some closure as a GN'R fan, and hopefully a work that will stand alongside the rich legacy that Guns have left

I dont know wether axl rose will release several albums... after chinese democracy or no more... buy what is pretty clear to me is that... no matter what Axl Rose releases it will be certainly a success...  regardless of the time...

He'S STILL STANDING...

CARLITOS...

A triple album .. release it all at once and slap the music industry in the face. 3 albums released in one package on the same day would be just so much to digest and comprehend.  :nervous:

I'd love it!  :love:

A triple album???

 That is perhaps, every AXL Rose  fan's dream, and if we have to be fair... that is exactly what fans deserve.... nothing less...  after all this long long looooooooooooooooooooooong time...
If it gets released damn... it will certainly be a BOMB!!!
