Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I'm not sure if this issue has been discussed or not.. Well I'm a big fan of GNR since 1991. After the TSI, I knew that the band is on the verge of "downfall" so I do not wait for Chinese Democracy until 4 years ago when AXL show up with his new band. Basically I've waited 4 years. Getting impatient BUT I still trust AXL will release CD when he is ready.

just a trillion of times on all the gunners boards  ;D


I agree  : ok:

Its strange I was reading some NME Magazines that I found at home from 1999 (The Cover Has Michael Stipe and Courtney Love on it)
 And It mentions Axl Rose working Hard on a new Album to be released in 2000 - So I suppose you could say Ive been waiting for 6 years now.
 Im Hopful that one day the Album will be released, but at times its hard to see when

since some time in 1995. i never expected it would take this long!!!!

I remember in '97 or so hearing that Axl was going to be playing guitar... that got me interested, but I didn't have the internet then so I wasn't really trying to keep up all I could.
Then I remember not too long after, I got a Guitar World magazine that said Robin was Slash's replacement. I thought that was sort of odd because at the time the only work I thought I heard of Robin was The Downward Spiral (which unbeknownst to me at the time, he doesn't even play on.)

In the later part of '98 is when I started to really look forward to new Guns N' Roses. The message boards got me all excited. Then in '99 when Live Era/Oh My God came out, I was expecting a new GNR CD within a few months.

Here I am still waiting..

I was a big GNR fan from 91-94 or 95. then I forgot about them for quite some time till I started listening to them again about 4 years ago.
and I found out about Axl and his new band and all...been waiting since then....it's getting pretty boring.

I have always been a fan since SFD, but after the Illusions I guess it was 94-95 when I started to become intrigued about 'what was happening next'...I'm sure before I even knew about HTGTH there was a website called 'Lost Rose' or something that I started went to to hunt around for any type of info on GNR. 

1999 when Axl talked about it in that MTV interview.. That's was the time I first heard about Chinese Democracy so I have waited for it since then.

I've been waiting since the old? band broke-up around 1994,.but nobody knew it was going to be called "Chinese Democracy" so:
- from 1994 to 1999, I was waiting for the old band to reconciliate (Axl and Slash) and release an album and tour etc...
- from 1999 to today (and counting...), I've been waiting for "Chinese Democracy".

It took me 2 or 3 years to "accept" the idea of seeing GN'R without Slash. It's still very hard for me to get used to it, but Richard Fortus has re-given me the hope. However, I still miss Slash a lot. He is unique, he was the sound of GN'R.?He was as important as Axl, GN'R is not really "GN'R" anymore without Slash. It will never be the same.

ive been waiting since 1994 too... So, i guess. First became a gnr fan in 1991 when the illusion albums came out..

1994.

Same here.

Not for Chinese Democracy

Been waiting since 94 as well.  Been a die-hard fan since 87.  Hopefully all the waiting will eventually pay off.  I'm tired of defending GNR v2 to all my friends that think CD will never come out.  I'll end up having the last laugh. :beer:

I got into GN'R in Summer 2002. Downloaded the newer songs in September 2003 so i guess since then. Nowhere near the lengths some previous posters have given

Since the beginning.  Always been a big fan.

5 years, since Rock in Rio 3, but sadly I mostly waiting for a reunion than for CD

I'd have to say 94 also

Since about 98/99. Somewhere in there.

1994

Don't give up guys!!

Too F@CKEN LONG... :crying: :confused:
But i will hope its out soon,because theres not alot of new music that i love as much ar AXLs
and VR..

since the release of TSI as i wanted the next album

Same here!

1994

For 2 years now. That' s not much compared to other people here, so I' ve still got some patience left  ;)

November (rain) 1999.

Since TSI cuz i thought it was shit, and i wanted to hear new stuff. (goin' on 13 years)

Not yet.

I'll start to wait when I hear the official announcement.  :hihi: My W8 is starting very soon!

Hum so in 1999 people heard of the name 'Chinese Democracy' for the first time.
incidentally, I'm curious to know when it was named Chinese Democracy.
Maybe it reinforces my w8 numerology  :P - about  how long you will  have waited for Chinese Democracy for when you see it.
This may seem off topic but assuming no one had waited for CD until then, it's sorta related.  :P

Hmmm... I'd say 5 years.

1994 :'(

I've been waiting for Chinese Democracy since 2000 Intentions didn't come out......

I remember looking through music magazines since 1994 looking for info on the follow up album. While at the time it wasn't Chinese Democracy, I've been waiting patiently for almost 12 years.

I wasnt all that into the Sympathy for the Devil release when it came out in late 94.  I picked that up and I kind of put GNR on the shelf until later on in my sophomore year in high school.  That was 97.  I remember being like, wow its been 4 years since TSI I wonder what they are up to. 

I started doing some research and I remember vividly the first time I read http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1429820/04181997/guns_n_roses.jhtml this article.  I remember being really confused and baffled by the idea of Robin Finck and Chris Vrenna being in GNR.  I was a big NIN fan at the time as well so I knew all about their work. 

When Slash was fired/left the band (who knows what happened) I was really dissapointed.  Then Duff left and at that point it all fell apart.  While its nice that Axl has gotten something together I still want to see/hear the results.  A few live recordings just don't do it for me. 

I don't really wait for things, when it comes out I'll be there to buy it.

Well I guess since TSI come out but I first heard about CD in a HMV when I was reading a kerrang mag that had a main article called coming in 2000. I yelled at the top of my lungs and the whole shop turned and laughed at me. But I was so fuckin happy 6 years ago when I read that.



 :peace:

way too long !

Not as long as the Chinese!

4381 days and counting... (from 23/11/1993 til 21/11/2005)

t - minus 11 years and counting .... tuuu  :hihi:
But it has been way too long  :(

I've always loved the band but it took me so long to get a computer with the internet and find info about them. So I've waited like 3 years. To be honest I don't give a fuck if the album sounds good or not, when it's released , it will prove Axl is back and has defeated his personal demons. : ok:

I've been waiting since they announced that "Oh My God" was gonna be on the 'End of Days' soundtrack. I'd been a very casual fan since I was a kid, so about the summer of '99 I guess...

Only since.. the end of '04. Pathetic huh? you guys are inspiration though.. if you can wait as long as you have.. I know I can.

Im extreamly proud to be a gunner though, honestly.. and you guys make up part of the pride I feel.. knowing the awesome people here. Chinese Democracy '06 baby!

how long have I waited for cd or new material... Well new material is easy since the illusions, so 1991... Cd I have been somewhat aware since 1999.. Gnr was always broken up in my book so I wasn't expecting any albums... When I heard oh my god in 99 I thought there was a reason for the new song like an album to follow :no:

Since 1994. I remember reading from a magazine that a new GN'R album would come out the following summer. I think it was Slash who said that. A lot of things have changed since then: line-up changes, oh my god, live shows etc... and every year I have thought that this is the year when it finally comes out. I'm still waiting, but I think it will be worth the wait when it's released. I just hope I don't have to wait another 12 years...

If you have heard "The Blues", "Madagascar" and "IRS", they are awesome songs and I trully believe that they are almost finished with CD. And it will kick ass!!!
I heard the Contraband and I do not like it. No disrespect to VR fans. I like Slash and Duff but I think VR music are no match for AXL. I like those 3 songs much better than VR. This shows that AXL can make a record without his original lineup while the others can't do it without AXL.
I'm predicting the latest by end of next year, we will see CHINESE DEMOCRACY!!!

Really?! Cuz, I don't see an album by Axl yet. And we have no idea how the finished product will sound IF it ever sees the light of day.

Also don't forget that the writing of Contraband was kinda rushed (Lyrics especially). I think the next album will be much better. (I did like Contraband as well) Those guys know each other much better now (both Professionally and Personally). And I think, this time around, Weiland's lyrics/vocals will be much closer to the old stuff he did with STP on Purple and Tiny Music.

Some people around here should really try to get past the whole "If it's not Axl, it's Shit" attitude.

When OMG was released i kinda thought CD was just around the corner.
How wrong i was   ???

Then when [the new] GN"R played Rock N'Rio and played some new songs. I though CD must be just around the corner.
How wrong i was  ;)

Now 2006 is it for sure  ;D
