Here Today... Gone To Hell!

about a half hour ago I was listening to WMMR Philly Radio. Slash did a pretty kool interview live because VR are doing AC tonight.

Slash says he can't wait to hear Axl's new record in March. The host says.. wait so Chinese Democracy is coming out in March?

Slash says the album is done & that he has been told many things over time, but this really sounds like it's coming out in March. He sounded really sure so I thought that I would share that at least.

Another highlight was that he doesnt blame Axl at all for the Vegas "red flags" for him not being able to attend. He said he doesn't think Axl had anything to do with "instagating" that & that it had to do with his Manager.

He also said the whole "feud" thing between him & Axl is just media hype & people just talking it up & said there is really no bad blood between them. & said he hasnt talked to him in 10 years. Also called the media sad for saying false things with the plastic surgury, pluggs stuff etc etc.

Take it for... well you know. sounded convincing though so i'm simply passing on. -BP
------
from CD.com. i dunno, just passin it on.

Sounds interesting.

That's actually pretty encouraging news!

But don't forget, on Behind the Music, Slash said for a reunion to happen, there'd need to be a mutual agreement and that they were far from it...so....

It does bring up some hope for a reunion down the line.

wow. sounds cool. go slash!

That's really really interesting. But the only thing that makes it that is because SLASH said it. But the post said that said that slash said hes been "told" things over time. So i makes you wonder who told him this stuff. And wasnt there a thread that said that one of the lads was going into the studio to finish something on the album(cant remember who or what). So it must not have been a big thing if it's finished.

Poor Poor Slash ... he's worked so hard on his new band and all people want him to talk about is GNR and Axl and Chinese Democracy.? :hihi:

I'll be a monkey's uncle... Guess Axl's finally got more than two songs with lyrics.

I'm glad BiPolar heard it himself, makes it actually something to believe in.

I will believe it when I hear it from axl.

I meant the interview Dave, not necessarily the CD release date.

Still, it would be sweet irony if Slash would be the one to finally break it to us - Only with GNR!  :rofl:

Why the poor poor slash comment?

Its inevitable that hes is going to be asked this or that about GNR and his relationship ( or non relationship ) with axl, i mean he was part of the biggest and most notorious band in the world!

I think it stands to reason how strong a person slash is by not refusing to answer questions and acting like a pre madonna aka like axl.

Wow, Slash and Axl may have patched things up through an intermediary. Remember Ross Halfin's comments about the two parties working on the GH part deux?

March would be terrific. I am happy that Slash has taken a higher position than he has in the past.

I think slash is prepping for a reunion down the road. Maybe after the new gnr and vr are done.

Well...b/w that dj and now slash saying something's up...not to mention the tour murmurs---this is a lot of shit coming in a short time period :confused:

Ahhhh, since SLASH said it was coming out in March, Axl's just gonna say fuck that shit and delay it again.

So, does this mean slash is now an ` insider ` ? !  :P

Maybe slash knows because of the  greatest hits 2. Maybe Geffen said put it out by march or they will be releasing GH2, So axl gave in and slash nows  GHs 2 is not coming out now, so he knows CD is.

I agree that this does open the door for at least a concillatory dialogue which  in the future could lead to a reunion.

The true test will be the lawsuit, if t hey can come to a compromise, then maybe in a few years we will get a reunion.

You're probably right---i mean, that seems to be the thing thats kept me thinking something might be up---it was a near certainty that GH2 was going to come out and that it was pulled and denied up and down by everybody.

So if he was told who told him is what i want to know ? If he heard it as a rumour than feck it wont believe it. And as someone said he wont believe it till axl says. It's nice to hear slash say something but TILL AXL ACTUALLY SAYS IT THEN, I'LL TAKE IT WITH A PINCH OF SALT. 

Axl needs to say something because its his band. How come Slash is always first to break GNR news? Good grief what a fukked up band.

But seeing as Axl isint giving anything out at the moment, then i'll take it off anybody who gives anything away. And better Slash then some fecking DJ on some Radio station trying to get listeners by making stuff up.   

Aynone have a link to the interview?

Id like anything either it will be out 2006 or not. Just to stop the rumours for a year.

Ya, actually because i would like to hear it for myself just to make it legit.

Just a brief statement like "Hi there GN'R fans, we are hard at work on our album, when it's done, we will let you know. No one has left, see you soon." Just something like that would be great.

Same here - I don't believe this.

Here we go again. A link or a lock please....

Ah it's not that i dont believe it, just that we hear so much about these radio stations getting things about the album. ?

Looked up the website of that radio station in philli, and it gives nothing about slash talking tonight, so lets not get very excited YET.

unless the album is out in shelves and we have a single, i refuse to start hoping again, but its still nice to hear slash talk about axl and the new album



rock n' roll

I'll take Mrbrownstone for his word.  Hell, Slash probably knows more than most being that he is in the music biz.

we're working on it as we speak.  remember, it was on the radio.  the peeps at CD.com are on it like a fat kid on a big chocolate cake : ok:

Its from Bi Polar the owner of cd.com he would not lie, he is working on getting the audio online.

I'd guess since Slash still owns some interest in the band along with Duff, they would both have to be notified if Axl planned to release a new GNR album.

So if audio of this interview surfaces, then definitely good news.

I for one find this encouraging. I'd say Slash and Axl are somewhat still connected through 3rd parties somewhere down the pipeline, someone possibly in the know. Just guessing. Even if this mounts to nothing, it's nice to have a positive comment...

This sounds suspect to me!  For one thing, VR is in Atlantic City tonight, which is a long way from Philly - right?  Unless the station picked up an interview from somewhere.

And how would Slash know anything about Chinese Democracy, when he hasn't even spoken to Axl in 10 yrs?  He's said in the past, as has Duff, they know nothing.  Why would they? 

Get a map   ;D ;D ;D

And even if he wasn't very close to Atlantic City, he could do a phone interview from anywhere in the world.

Slash and Axl were both involved in compiling WTTJ:TVBOGNR. Then suddenly it was silenced to death.

Slash might actually be on to something, because he most certainly was in the know when it came to WTTJ.

What if Axl and Slash called a truce? Imagine Axl joining VR on stage for a song? Axl N' Weiland dueting "Used to Love Her?"

I'd settle on an out-of-court settlement for the lawsuit, for starters.

Its just the same if gnr was doing a show in RI but called into a boston radio show.

Also, the interview could be recorded. :P

I really hope there is some truth to this and nothing else kills it if you know what I mean

Maybe Slash was taking the piss  :hihi:

well.. jarmo made it news... so.. is it for real? who confirmed it?

In the next few years, Slash will rejoin the band.
"Axl-Slash" is the real deal.

He did? Maybe he wasn't piss taking then.

What do you mean confirmed?


Some stories seem more credible than others....

It's not that weird for Slash to be on the radio.




/jarmo

Real or not, something is definetly going on ;)
Why else would they pull back GH2? Richard working with Axl in LA, and Slash saying march. This is good signs at least :beer:

Great, if it's true.

Also a quite important piece of news for me coming from Sp1at: http://www.sp1at.com/item.php?id=691
"For a better world"... it reminds me something... Roberto Medina...Lisboa....Rock in Rio...do you get it?? : ok:

Is it possible to contact Mr Medina? does he have an e-mail?

I for one think you are on thin ice Nesquick ???

>Enigmatic guitarist Buckethead will be working his way down the West Coast this February as part of a nine-gig trek >that kicks off February 17 in Seattle. The guitarist ? who was briefly a member of Axl Rose's retooled Guns N' Roses >? will wrap up the tour on March 1 in Flagstaff, Arizona.


*will wrap up the tour on March 1*
...could this mean Bucket will return to GN'R for some live gigging? - sure hope so! :)

As for Slash's comments about March release for CD. Well he is in the music biz so i guess he is spot on with his info.

who knows. maybe slash reads google  ???
v cool if slash is right tho   :yes:

Why did Jarmo put up mtv.com as a source for this news ? And can someone please get an audio of that interview cause the whole legitimacy of this is fading the longer i dont have audio proof.

I didn't, MTV was the source for the Buckethread paragraph.



/jarmo

that would be great if slash knew when cd was coming out and was right :hihi:

I dont know what to think about this rumours, but im sure something will happen soon.
There are so many things that points on early new year.. I guess Slash will be able to know much more
on what is happenig in the band, then other musicans in the bizz..

Lets hope for a better new year : ok:

that would be great having slash n axl together again on stage.. One day hopefully

   So if March is the real deal...can everyone say 1st single, "The Ides of March!"  ...as the old saying goes, beware the ides of March.  Also, if anyone is curious, the Ides of March refers to the day Roman emperor Julius Caesar was STABBED IN THE BACK.  From Axl's standpoint, I'd find this song title most appropriate, looking at his experiences with former bandmates.   8)

 :beer:  CD in March!!!

be patient, jesus.  we're working on it at CD.com.

I think Slash has heard the same rumours as we have. There's only a tiny group of people that knows what's going on and I think Slash has nothing to do with that group of people.

I feel good for 2006. Axl and the band if you hear me, don't forget to come in France. "Parc des princes" (Stadium - 50.000 people) is waiting for you once the record is out. : ok:
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/rhcpworld/images/2004_Tour/2004.08.15_Parc_des_Princes/Bender/11.jpg
Ain't that look like a great place to play for the band?  8)

That kind of posts should be posted in this new thread: http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=24573.0



/jarmo

do you know who the "band members" are?      i guess since it`s splat it`s referring to the new guys right?

I think you're right--i imagine Axl and the VR guys keep  much the same company they did when the orignal band was together--not inconcievable that those folks would share information about what each respective person is up to. Bottom Line: Slash would be in a better position to know than most people outside of Axl's inner circle-doesnt' mean he'll be right, but hey, might as well try to be positive going into 06!

Being in the music industry, even at the periphery can make you privy to lots of insider information. It could be as simple as having a lawyer who knows another lawyer who works with a particular artist.

Some friends had a band that was briefly courted by Interscope around 1998-1999, and he used to tell me all kinds of crazy stuff that he heard through his lawyer. It's not hard to get info in the music business, it just seems hard because we aren't on the other side of the fence.

Bucket isn't coming back. A fan talked to a friend/collaborator of Bucket who told the fan that Bucket had a nervous breakdown while in GnR b/c of how poorly he was treated by fans and the band itself. He apparently was hospitalized b/c of health issues associated with these problems. Buckethead won't speak, thru print or puppet, about his time in Axl's band. It's over.

Are you still reading buckethead.tk by chance mr.vector?  ???

buckethead poorly treated by the band?? he got his own solo spots every gig night......and poorly treated by fans???? I mean........a little hard to believe....then Robin Finck should have had allot more problems then him with the things people say about him..... but...what do I know.... :)

bucket was treated well by fans.  you can hear in the crowd for many shows, people are yelling "BUCKETHEAD!".   the fans accepted buckethead.  in one of the clips, you can see people wearing tiny KFC buckets and yelling "BUCKETHEAD RULES!  SLASH WHO?!"

Since we are talking about it, someone there did forwarded me the article, but, yes, this awesomely informative piece of news came from buckethead.tk. :)   I miss that place.

I won't count on it, I rather have it be a surprise.

Wrong, Axl doesn't have to inform them of ANY plans for a new record or a tour. They only have interest in the back catalogue, not the new stuff.  : ok:

Axl, Slash and Duff still jointly hold trademarks on the name Guns N' Roses.

I would say that warrants them being informed of major happenings with the Guns N' Roses property.

It's not like Slash fans would have been at any of the new concerts anyway.

This little bit of info, if true, is great, fills me with optimism. And it's cool to hear that Slash has no hard feelings with Axl, hopefully Axl feels the same way. It'd be cool to know if the two were even talking in the near future.

Axl owns the name and is the sole trademark holder when it comes to the name gnr. He didnt have to tell them about the shows in 01-02 and he definately doesnt have to tell them about any future plans he has for gnr.

I'm a huge slash fan and was at msg.. Axl n the name gnr mean enough to me even if I miss certain old members big time..

As for the bucket being treated well.. I agree, but I could have cared less who was up there being the real gnr was only axl there

Tell that to the federal government:

Anything's impossible.

And I really don't want to read any more stupid comments about Buckethead and his time in GN'R.

He had a bad time? WTF?

He had his solos every night and check the bootlegs, people gave him a great time, we made him feel home. We were used to the Godfather and we started listening to shit like those chicken tunes... And we never boooooed the guy. I was in London and Leeds.

Stop the crap.

I accepted Buckethead just cause he was in Guns N' Roses. I didn't like him in Guns N' Roses. I like his solo work but not him in GN'R. I defended him countless times cause people made fun of the whole mask/bucket thing.

Buckethead had a hard time in GN'R cause he didn't let anybody in. Not cause the other guys didn't like him. Remember the pic of the guys at a pub in London? Why wasn't Buckethead there? That's the truth.

Buckethead needs to check into a hospital, but not cause he was treated poorly from GN'R... He's got some serious issues with his head...

This is my last post for 2005.

Happy new year everyone. Especially for the GN'R fans... ?;)

he wants to sound like the nice guy, as always

We don't know what happened behind the scenes. Apparently he and Robin did not get along. As for not hanging out at a pub, that simply isn't Buckethead's style. He is a very private person but also extremely caring and gentle.

I personally witnessed Slash fans yelling curses at the guy while he did his solo sets at Vegas. It was an embarrassing scene and I personally felt sympathy for Buckethead.

As for these claims that Bucket became ill b/c of his association with the band, I think we have to understand that this is second hand information; the facts could be misrepresented but because none of us knows the real story it is impossible to judge. Clearly though Bucket was dissatisfied enough with the band to sever ties and never speak of it again.



Perhaps you should talk to the bots who stayed after Bucket's solo shows on the latest tour; Big B came out back, shook everyone's hands, signed autographs, and strummed a few tunes with an acoustic guitar. The guy loves and appreciates all his fans.  If we are going to talk about issues in the head, Buckethead is not the current or former member of Gnr that we should begin with.....

Despite the fact that this was most likely made up by an Axl fan to reduce the burden placed on the new lineup.

"Oh, I feel bad for Axl - the new album is coming out soon and by the way, he didn't have plastic surgery"

Yeah, I'm sure Slash said that.

 ::)

I totally agree! this is also my last post for the year dudes!

I saw him two times Toronto and London Ontario, very popular buckethead.

I happen to know a few behind-the-scenes stuff from first hand.

Besides Brain, he didn't have a very good relationship with the whole band...

Oh, you're right, we should talk about Axl and not about someone who wears a mask and a bucket and won't take them out infront of other people...  ::)

Sometimes I think that Axl got this guy so people in the media would think that there's a crazier guy in the band than Axl... (not that I think Axl is crazy, unfortunately the media does...)

who cares about buckethead. he played a few shows in an era of gnr that no one even knows about and he has no albums under his belt with the band.. He's a nothing in gnr history,  No denying his talent just saying who cares what happened

you hit the nail right on the head son!  : ok:

anyone else find it funny that when Slash said only 2 songs were done, everybody on here called Slash a liar and a hater and claimed "He didnt know shit"

but now he is reporting great news, his word is taken as gospel?


I honestly dont think Slash hates axl, just cause u disagree and have differences doesnt mean u hate.

What I took from Behind the music was, basically if Axl called and apologized and dropped his ego, Slash and CO would come back in a heartbeat.

thats what I interpreted from BTM.

I think there is a big difference in agenda between saying there are only two songs done and 'the album will come out in March." 


You obviously have no idea who buckethead is, then.  I'm sorry but that is a very ignorant comment.

I'm not trying to insinuate,

but with the STP reunion happening at that Scott Weiland/VH1 thing, it's really interesting for Slash to go on a radio show and be so positive in regards to Axl.

In hindsight, I think Bucket leaving may have been a great thing for GNR.

He was too carnivalish for my liking.

I have a saying:

For females:

When a female performer I.e. Mariah Carey,beyonce,alicia Keys are talented and can actually write,sing and perform, u dont have to walk around half naked and make rated R videos. the females who arent very talented have to use sex but when u are that damn great, u dont need it.


for males:

when u are great u dont need a gimmick.

buckethead is one of the greatest guitarist Ive ever heard play BUT his persona and his costume takes the focus from his playing and destroys his credibility.

maybe he really believes what he says but still, he dont need to dress like a circus side show for attention, his playing would get that by itself.

The costume is part of the performance and personifies the theme of his music. Just because he is not like every other rock n roll axemen doesn't mean he is relying on a gimmick. 

Just what credibility are you referring to?

 I don't know what you are hearing but when I see a bucket show, my eyes are transfixed on the man's fingers and my ears are swimming in notes that my brain cannot believe are being clawed out from beneath his fingertips.

 Ever consider the Slash was joking when he made the 2 songs comment? On the whole, Slash has always been, IMO, very complimentary of Axl as a talented artist, even if he thinks it was/is wrong for him to tour under the guns name.

KillingVector u have to seperate this for a moment.

Sure I agree with u, I think Bucket is awesome and his costume or theatrics dont take away from my opinion of him but u gotta go broader.

What do u think the casual fan is gonna think?

They are gonna say "U replaced slash with that"?

people who know music know how great bucket is but u gotta keep in mind the new fans and the casual people who dont think Axl is GOD like we do.

They see Bucket and they see a novelty act and it takes away from GNR's credibility when u see a guy dressed like that and supposedly sleepin in a chicken coup.

I think he's awesome and cool, but to casual fans, they more or less thought he was a freak.

Going off topic with buckethead guys... take it to pm's or something...

I for one am still waiting for audio proof of this.. as there is still no mention of the interview at WMMR.com... (the radio station's site)

Hey that's Jimmy Fallon's exact comment after the 2002 VMAs.  He made the comment that Bucket filled the role of Slash nicely, but I think he was just trying to convince himself that he really filled the whole.

I agree 100% on the image thing.  People see Slash as an Icon.  He is almost like a comic book character much like Buckethead.  Axl should of used someone who goes by a real name and not a image.  Someone who goes by a first and last name.  Otherwise to any non serious GnR fan it's like one character trying to replace another, or like 8 Simple rules for dating my teenage daughter after Ritter died.

Jeez. Buckethead is not an image. The man has an incredible talent and a body of work to show for it. If you cannot look past the character, then you are the one having the crisis. Axl chose an individual whose creativity and talent exceeded anyone on that stage; I will always savor the three shows that I saw this guy on stage with my hero.

  thing is we never got an album so who's to say he was wrong.. I'm sure the songs we heard were also works in progress like everything always is... How many times did you hear parts were being redone.. So to me the songs aren't done until they are in the stores..

As for the slash n march... I don't even look deep into that.. I'm sure he knows more then most since he is big in the industry and was a major player in gnr.. maybe he just heard a rumour or madison told him  :hihi:

why it's not going to help anything, and second this wouldn't be the first time from snakepit to vr that he has said something nice about axl..

What's wrong with Slash? First he said that never talk to Axl in 10 years and then now he says Chinese Democracy sound awesome?? WTF??

I think he wanted to be back in the band.. becoz VR will never produce an album that will get everyone attention and will never get a music awards.

He left GNR long time ago and he did not trust AXl at that time. I believe that he has listen to some CD songs as he still has some share in the GNR name. And after listening to these songs, he said CD will be great. What?s this suppose to mean?? He wanted AXL to call the truce and be invited to re-join the band??

AXL is not stupid. After 13 years of hard work and then Slash is welcome back. NO WAY!!

As for you guys who dislike Buckethead, What?s wrong with him?? Just because he wears a bucket and a mask?? We live in a free world.. He can do anything he wants. Do you also criticize Elton John because he married to a man???

We are not living in the 18th Century Idiots!!

I?m sorry Buckethead is not with GNR anymore. I really admire his guitar works.
I guess things just didn?t work out for him and GNR. Well everyone?s not perfect remember.

"but with the STP reunion happening at that Scott Weiland/VH1 thing"

I don't believe a STP reunion could happen in the near future, with "Army of anyone" coming up (Richard Patrick, the de Leo brothers, I wanna listen to that!)...

Welcome to the Jun... to the worlds most boring post   ;D

this post is nonsence.... VR will nebver win an award... Only won a grammy, only set a record as the best selling debut album (meaning it opened at number one)

never knew slash listened to CD :hihi:

If it were not for Buckethead joining GN'R back in... i would never have got to experience the Bucket [which i got to do at London Arena/UK]. I must have about 10 Bucket albums, some really good sounds on those :)

As for Slash, well he always said Gn'R was simply a garage band that got lucky and very big, and while Slash stays at that level,  Axl's the one heading for bigger and better things.

this post is nonsence.... VR will nebver win an award... Only won a grammy, only set a record as the best selling debut album (meaning it opened at number one)

never knew slash listened to CD :hihi:

Whatever... VR sucks and I tell you and you remember this for years to come... They will never get as big as GNR..
I hope AXL will release CD the same date as VR releases their 2nd album next year...We'll see who can top that...

always remember axl needs the gnr name to sell big time.. Try coming up with a new title for his band and see how many albums he sells.. Five of your friends can use the name guns n roses and many people will buy it simply because it says gnr on the label.. Axl's new gnr and vr will never be as big as gnr period, that was a worldy phenomenon that happens to very few bands..

I know it's a broken record when I say this but take album sales with axl using the name gnr compared to using another name no one ever heard of and see the difference in millions of sales.. With axl using the gnr name he doesn't have to do huge publicity, and half the dopes hear gnr is releasing a new album of new material in 14 years and don't even know the lineup.. You can hate vr all you want that is your choice but at least they did some leg work and toured their asses off to get their project rolling... They did the small club thing and did interviews all over as a band and let the people see behind the scenes.... lets see axl do that, instead he will forever hide behind the name as his security blanket to take forever and get more money then anyone else.....

If cd didn't outsell vr's second album then there would be a problem with the world... One is gnr one of the biggest names in rock history , the other is a bunch of guys who were huge years ago with a semi known name..

we all do good luck with that.. As his new mates rot waiting for their majesty to muster up some balls to face the world again

I thought the same. When he said something negative, some people here named him as an outsider, who didn't know shit. Almost two years later he says the album is ready and Marxh is the month and it makes his words true. People are strange.

BTW at least we has a hardcore Slash-hater who is talking shit about him even right now. Great job  : ok:

Slash and Axl are the  most important part of Guns n roses,so you comment is stupid

"I'm not trying to insinuate,

but with the STP reunion happening at that Scott Weiland/VH1 thing, it's really interesting for Slash to go on a radio show and be so positive in regards to Axl."


What STP reunion? Also, does anyone have a link to the interview? Was it really confirmed?

Wouldn't it be cool if the holdup on the CD was attributed to Axl and Slash trying to make things "work".  I know it probably would never happen, though it's neat to think about.  I would have to think that it would be the biggest story of '06.

Robio

Nah, if Slash came back at some point, that would be cool...But I for one really want Axl to see this through and release the work he's done with Stinson, Finck and crew.

IF is a big word.

I cannot see this happenings for years and years and years to come... if ever  ;)

Adlers doing his thing with AA and running down Axl and others at the same time.So he is in no position.

Axls doing his own thing with Gn'R. He owns the name Gn'R and the old band members quit so he wouldn't want them back. He too has been on stage running down ex members. Adler can't drum, Izzy can't hear.

Slash, Duff and Sorum. They seem to be on a mission to tell the world that they're over Gn'R and that VR is the future. I think deep down they don't belive in VR and are just going with it while it lasts.

Gilby don't seem to be going very far with anything. Although i think Gilby is the one ex member that Axl would still get along with. He has the talent.


For me, the biggest success an ex Gn'R member has had with musc has to be the first Slash's Snake pit line up. I really liked that album It's 5 O'clock somewhere. It had a lot going forit. Slash sounded good and the lead singer he was good too with a personality of his own. He didn't some across as someone who was there just to cash in on a situation (ie: working with an ex gunner, the biggest ex gunner, Slash).

-

My point being. I don't think there will be a Gn'R reunion until all the members have blown it. Blown it as in, there are no bands to play in, there are no records selling and the cash has run out situation.

Hell no VR or New GnR will never be as big as the old GnR, in the United States anyway, because the top 40 is filled with hot women who can't sing, rappers talking about the cool shit they have that we don't, and now as of lately country artist.  So unless Axl gets a sex change, raps about his mansion in the hills and the porshe in the garage, and sings redneck songs about his childhood in Indiana, GnR will never top the charts like they once did.

GNR can easily top the charts with songs like the blues or IRS. Not only in the US but everywhere in the world. Look at U2...are they rappers? Do they talk about getting a gangsta or shit like that? Absolutely not, and their last album "how to dismantic an atomic bomb" sold over 85O k the 1st week in the USA. also in France, none of the top 10 sellers are rappers.

Isn't Slash suing Axl? Why would he be saying that he "can't wait" to hear it and other nice things?

Maybe just maybe, Axl sent Slash a copy as a peace offering? You have to admit a VR/GNR tour would be a huge event.  ::)


I am aware it's a extremely long shot so don't moan at me  :hihi:

Its not like he is suing Axl out of malice, he is only suing him over business and what he thinks is right.

Back to Buckethead Killingvector.

Im not saying I dont like Buckethead but what do u think the average backwoods redneck GNR fan thinks about Buckethead when they see him in concert?

Last I checked he or Robin werent the most widely accepted at concerts even.

Bucket to the average fan comes off as a novelty, Robin comes off as a borderline novelty and for a serious greatest of all time band like GNR, novelties dont work.


Slipknot are a novelty band.

Look at Marilyn Manson, dude is one of the greatest frontmen of all time but never will ever get credit and why? Cause he is looked at like a novelty.

same thing with Bucket and even Finck in some regards.

if this is indeed true ?it?s cool i think.... ? i mean slash has definitely better contacts to the real insiders than anyone else. i`m not quite sure if he`s still good friends with del james for example. he`s definitely more in the know than the media, any fuckin`radio dj?s, internet sites or the "insiders" around here... ? an audio file would be cool...

Reunion theories or Buckethead image discussions doesn't belong in this thread.

I don't know about you, but I'm not interested in reading about those subjects in multiple threads that have nothing to do with the subjects in the first place.

of course he wants to hear it. who wants to hear "the sound that axl broke up the band for" as he said in an interview some years ago...

this here is like, the funniest post ever! haha wow

Looks like someone is dancing with Mr. Brownstone :)

Funny.

Nothing is "wrong" with Slash. To imply this is very insulting since Slash is a big reason why we're all into GNR's music in the first place. I doubt he wants to meet up with Axl since he would have to jump the high security fences at his Malibu and then be chased around by barking dogs and his maid, Beta. Slash has more important things to do like make great another great album with talented rockers.

Slash is showing great class, talking kindly of Axl and his work - unlike many on these boards who spew nothing but hatred on Slash and his work. Its like a divorced couple and you decided to estrange yourself from one spouse because they're not married anymore. I seriously hope nothing is wrong with you people and that you don;t treat family and friends like you are treating Slash - because that is baseless hatred and it can tear the world apart and prevent beauty from taking flight.

MNR

Slash has more important things to do such as the filing of another lawsuit against Axl...... ::) Excuse me, but Slash's lawyer even had the gal to accuse the redhead of fraud in the absence of an indictment.

However, the gloves have been off between these parties for a long time but you cannot accuse the critics of Slash solely as you have done abobe.  The critics of Axl  have been as vocal and cutting in their criticism of the former frontman as the Axl fans have been toward Slash. Both children of this divorce need to relax and reconcile.

But I do think that these comments are hopefully a sign of change in paradigm. Hopefully from now on, the two sides won't play these tired games in the press and the fans can focus on more important things.

has anybody actually confirmed this slash interview yet.


    W,A,R.

     

I believe what Slash is saying. You know he has sources in the GNR camp. Hell, even if he doesn't have sources in/close to the band, maybe he heard it from someone at Interscope/Sanctuary. It is interesting that slash didn't say anything negative.

Slash has done this so that we all get our hopes up and when march comes and we get nothing we will all start blaming axl for letting us down again.

it's just one big scheme.

Try to be positive, at least for the time being. : ok:

Jesus Christ! Is this the only other guy trying to get some straight news? The interview isn't mentioned on the radio stations website.. theres no audio.. come on.. lets not get our hopes up till its "true."

I'm still confused as to how this got onto HTGTH's front page without a source.

"Random message board poster heard Slash say things about Guns N' Roses on his local radio station"

Are we really that desperate for news?

The part that is confusing you is that you consider the source a "random message board poster."  He isn't, it was just copied from chinesedemocracy.com.  You could go there and check it out, but I don't think you need to doubt that he actually heard the interview. 

You see DunkinDave, your wrong. It wasn't just some "random message board poster" it was a "random message board poster who took the info from a random message board poster at chinesedemocracy.com." DUH!

and yeah, im confused to how something without an actual source is on the front page..

There is a source.  Its BP at Chinesedemocracy.com, who heard it on WMMR.  Read the entire thread before you try to get sarcastic and superior.

Actually the originator of the story is BP and he wouldnt be making this stuff up. He owns gunsnroses.us and is not a bullshitter when it comes to stuff like this.

Yeah your right, my bad. I wasn't aware of BP's "status".. i just figured he was some random guy. MY BAD!  :beer: :peace:

Years ago, Slash was in Atlanta doing an interview...the DJ on the radio was attempting to get Slash to talk smack about AXL....Slash stated...Axl will always be my brother and I dont talk bad about my brothers.

Slash might know something because he was expecting GH2 and now there is no GH2. Plus, I am sure Slash still know people in the Axl's camp.

Bottom Line....the more CD sells....the more AFD sells, the more UYI sells etc etc.

A wise man once told me.....if you can't explain something....its because of money.

LJ

but the question remains 'can anybody prove this to be true coz i dont care if the fukin pope heard it on the radio,ill belive it when its backed up with something credible.im not being funny but i think i talk for the majority of poeple here.hell i hope it fukin is true coz it would be cool.


   W,A,R.

i hold BP in higher regard than the Pope.

dont we all  :P

it still dont prove nothing



? ? W,A,R.

What do you want? Axl to write March on your forehead? :hihi:

I didnt bother to read the eight pages before posting, so I am sure somebody else has said this...

a little while back, SLash was saying he knew that Axl only had vocals for a couple songs, then he said he knows next to nothing, now he knows its ready for release?

Gimme a break.? Vh-1 announced on behind the music that it was scheduled for November 2004 release, and did that happen?  So why give what Slash says any credence?

it's all bullshit.? And Slash is downplaying the rift between himself and Axl.? if there's no bad blood between them, why haven't they spoken to each other in ten years?? Slash knows that damn well.

Axl could slap half you guys across the face with a release date, and you still would think it was bullshit.

i dont think this is bullshit i just wanted to know if there is any proof.all the years of bullshit rumours makes you hard to convince.if axl slapped some of yous with a fish youd look at its use by date and come up with a release date so dont patronise me dude

damn right kid.  that's because we possess something called rationality.  Axl hasnt exactly proven himself to be Mr. Reliable, so I wouldnt give a piss for his word.  i'll believe it when the damn album is in stores and not a second before.

anyway back to topic.if this is true and march comes and goes with no CD we will know that even someone as high up in the buisness as slash cant even get into this vault we call chinese democracy

Has the radio interview been proven true? Link? Is it listen on their website? Could this be 8 pages of nothing?

Now we're on to something! :rofl: I believe it, but would also like to actually hear slash say it.

thats what i asked but i got replies like '(What do you want? Axl to write March on your forehead?) and ( Axl could slap half you guys across the face with a release date, and you still would think it was bullshit)

Just a confirmation would be dandy.

I was joking when I made those remarks. Dont take everything so seriously. I just think we should be positive about the first good news we've had in years. If you guys can have orgasms over a bullshit amazon listing, surely you can have an orgasm over this. :hihi:

At least the amazon listing was something we could confrim. All we have he is an interview, which could have been made up...

Nixon can't. He's been on that Babs Bush porn site all night and is now empty  :P

Does anyone know around what time this interview was supposed to take place or who was the DJ interviewing Slash? I am in Philly and WMMR is my favorite station but I haven't heard anything about this.


--


Slash is a well respected musician so obviously he knows many people in the music business. He may still have contacts at Geffen/Universal. Plus, he had input on GH2 so isn't is possible he was told GH2 was put on hold in favor of CD? I'd sure take Slash's word over VH1. That being said, I am a cynic, so I don't believe CD will be out in March. Axl may be intending on releasing it in March today but I don't think it will come to pass just like every other rumored date.

Yeah, I was just talking to someone else from Philly and they said the same thing. She said it was her favorite station, and listens to it all the time and didn't hear this slash interview. I'm now starting to wonder if its a hoax.

you'd think the station's website would freaking mention an interview with slash...

Thats what makes this really smell like a giant turd. Slash leaking info about an imminent CD release would not only be on their website, but would be all over the internet, and would also get a mention on MTV and VH1. I was trying to remain positive about this situation, but the more you look at it, the worse it smells. The IRS leak on that radioo show was immediately announced on MTV. This is bigger news than that, and we hear nothing except some poster and a mod from another forum who "confirms" it. :confused:

Hmmm, How would Slash get information about the album?


He probably was joking, unless he has a really good friend (wink wink) working on it that gave him information.

I would normally agree with you, but if the interview took place Friday, it's only been 2 day's and people have been busy with New Years.  Plus, it's not official!  If Slash really said this, it will pop up other places, but give it a few days.

What I don't understand is the GH2 - CD case. If Axl was working on the GH2 album 2 months ago then how the hell could be CD finished? I thought it was another attempt to get some time (and money). If CD was so close to be finished then why did Axl and the record company lose time with the GH2 thing?  ???

Maybe his intention was to deliver the album instead of the GH 2 package; he recalled Fortus to put the finishing touches ( I use these words with as straight a face as I can muster) on the material......that's my guess.

But if there were only some really-really last finishing touches left then why did he work on another GH album? It still ain't make any sense... Or he thought he'd need another months (years) to finish but the record company blackmailed him with something or someone (from the band, management etc) finally said something that made him decide: 'Alright, if it's not good enough yet, it won't ever be, so let's go, Round 2 starts!'? Just a guess. 

I like how someone concerned we just wasted 9 pages on nothing....Welcome to the world of being a GNR fan....
If AXL came out and annouced a date ....we all would be afraid he would have changed his mind the next day....

or he was working on the GH 2 package and thought it was too much of a travesty to stretch the gnr catalog out this much; he could have said 'fuck it'; i'll finish the album (which has been rumored to be in a finished state for at least a year now) and satiate the label. I'm speculating of course with a very optimisitic light but the sequence of events isn't too farfetched to reconcile.

if it comes out by march great, if not I am not going to say slash lied... Everyone throws out dates or time periods, who knows where they get their info.. Only when axl speaks do I hold the word to be truth,... Same should apply with his band but we know their track record..

Maybe Slash heard it from his friend Ross Halfin....




/jarmo

Man. This blows. Its a fake as far as im concerned.

One thing's for sure... GNR fans are much more convincing than anyone in GNR.

this here is like, the funniest post ever! haha wow

Looks like someone is dancing with Mr. Brownstone :)

Yes I used too much Cocaine when I post that... Now What?

Finally somone puts 2 and 2 together. Isn't it obvious that both Slash and Merck are friends with Halfin? Therefore news could be passed between them without any sort of official goings on whatsoever, just Slash phoning Ross up and going "Hey, what's up?"

hey isn't that when the court dates are around now.maybe he might have something.like an inside clue or something.i kinna think he could be right slash.

Could be, but who really cares enough to go out of their way to tug the chains of drooling GN'R fans anymore?  "Chinese Democracy" is mostly forgotten throughout the media.  After 2002 the mystery was put to rest and Axl was laughed at and humiliated.  Even if it does see the light of day, who really cares anymore (besides us)?

Great point. : ok:You're absolutely right about 2002. It was his prime opportunity to capitalize on the mystery. CD would have sold millions. Now, he'll be lucky if it goes platinum here in the U.S.

he`ll be lucky if it goes platinum in the U.S.?? :hihi:  are you serious james?

Is that why the New York Times wrote an article about it in March 2005?

I'd say people are interested in the story about the album, which title was first mentioned in 1999, and Axl's return.

Of course many of those people see the album as a joke, but they're still interested enough to take notice when/if it's released.


It's better than any reality show on tv. ?:hihi:



/jarmo

this could be it, I hope it is. Maybe the world will finally hear Chinese Democracy, if not then I guess we will just have to wait...

I know it will go multi platinum but timing is important too as well as making a little noise before it happens.. I think if it came out in 1999 it might have been overshadowed by the shitty music movement... As the same with the height of grunge I think gnr album sales would have dropped drastically... TSI did good but not near anything gnr worthy with a video out, even live era could have sold so much better.... It's hit or miss but I woul;d say hit because gnr the name itself is an icon in rock music now.. James myself and jarmo can be in gnr today and it would still do amazing because gnr is trendy and and classic at the same time..

i've said this a billion times but it's the truth, I wish I could see how axl could do without having such apowerfull known name behind him? Seeing sales based on a name no one knew and just hearing it as new music would have been much cooler.... Just like in 2002 you'll pack arenas even if not one song is heard yet just because the name gnr is a draw..

The name is important, ok. But don't think people are blind, this "new" band will have to START FROM SCRATCH. Guns N' Roses is a cool band, yeah, the OLD BAND is, the legacy is, the name is, they are cool because it was a Rock n' Roll band with an amazing music. But Believe me, if in the future the general public see once again the exact same version of GN'R 2002, the (new) band will become very "uncool" in a second, like in 2002. No doubt about it.
I hope some bandmembers have learned a lot from their own mistakes and won't do them again. It includes lots of things.

start from scratch.. I'm sure these guys made a great album, but just look at what they have handed to them already (sure alot of responsibility as well) the stage to play on, the ability to get the chance to close a vmas as gnr *cough* to play rio, to have a new year eve show, to get major write ups in every rock outlet.. Sure people know the new guys from their past efforts but just look at how they can go through the roof without really trying now.. Whoever axl drags around with him these days while using the gnr name has the chance to be known by hundred of thousands at least in concert.. Their album would never be so known or talked about wether good or bad.. Most people have to break some ass to get started in anew band do some leg work do interviews,,SOMETHING.. These guys only have to hang onto axl and the gnr name and they are already half way there..

So when someone says oh they will sell great, people are looking for cd it'll sell millions.. Big fucking deal, it can do all that shit without one note being heard.. I know most people would see them live if they only did the afd illusion's songs....

I'm not quite sure people will be lining up to buy this album-it will still have to have quality music-there are plenty of acts who can draw crowds at arenas due to having a popular name, but that does not necessarily translate to strong album sales-Motley Crue had a strong tour with good attendance, but if they put out an album tomorrow, would it sell millions? I'm not so sure-if you don't want to see who Axl drags onstage, don't go to see them-"Why do you look at me when you hate me?

well stop right there....isnt that what it comes down to more than anything else? making a great album with quality music?

WIth the name comes expectations. Huge expectations. Because of what has been accomplished in the past. Nothing has been handed to them. Even though I disagree, Ill even play along and say that the name helped them get Rio3, the Vmas, and the 1st NYE gig...so what does it say about the actual players in the band and the new band itself when they were asked to play some more nye gigs, rio4 and im sure have been asked to play at festivals as well the past few years.

not really

who is saying that people went out to see GNR to see the new guys? Were they pushing new material hence getting new fans? Nope. They were coming to see Axl. And that just shows you the power of Axl. I dont see VR who have 3 member sof old gnr in the band commanding that attention with thier band. How come.yea i know its because its a brand new name. Thats a weak copout if you ask me. Fact is Axl is more appealing to people than the old guys. And im not trying to start something here. Im trying to get thru to your thick tophats that even if Axl went under a different name he still would be getting the same amount of attention.

And trust me im not disputing the effect of the gnr name. It certainly helps. But it would be a greater benefit forSlash and company if they ?were using it than Axl.

It comes down to the album. If its great it will get great reviews and if it bombs it will be made fun of. As most people tend to do now. If gnr tour and they play all of the songs on the album and only a few of the classics and peopel are going to the concerts will they be going because its gnr or because they might, hold on now, they might actually liek the new material. Or is it because some lil 13 yr old is wearing a gnr shirt and its the trendy thing to do.lol.....if it bombs no1 will go. cause theres nothing to offer....

the gnr name will help shorterm but the quality of th emusic will ultimately decided the fate of new gnr....

i think were straying off topic here guys,im sure theres already a thread about 'will chinese democracy sell or fail'.back to topic has anybody got any info on this slash interview yet (any proof)

there is no way in hell that axl would be getting the same amount of attention if he had a totally different name with this project and if he took a normal amount of time and used realistic amounts of money to create this.. Axl is mysterious he can be brilliant as well, but the name is very important to the people.... I will not say axl is not the most known gnr member but he would have a lot less in sales and concert goers if he used a name no one knew..  Axl also has an appeal because he left in a mysterious way... We all get to see slash on a constant basis so it's not as special then if n when you see axl.. it's a rarity along with talent.. he also has those MJ mike tyson qualities, like what nutty thing will he do next, will there be another problem? Axl's awesome in my book and always has been (well not as much over the past few years) but the weight of the name along with his is much bigger then axl rose alone

yes the topic is slash said cd in march.. You either believe or you don't, it either happens or it's just another person giving you a date out of thin air..

Key word:  mostly  : ok:

Merck said 2005 was the year and nothing why can't slash say's he heard march06? Hell i'll say February06, Do i have contacts? Yes with my guts and they have a feeling.
The person who really will know for sure?, The CEO of Geffen/Intercope when he says "go".

AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL ?:-*

Feb

And where do you live? Mars?

The New York Times is one of the biggest publications.

Most of the world publications copy their articles...

All you need to do is keep your eyes open. I've even seen a CD mention in the news section of a Mickey Mouse mag...

I know it's been some time but I have to say it since it was intented for the fans...

In November 2005 the Greek fan clubs of GN'R and Iron Maiden did a big party together.

I contacted Merck to let him know (since he is managing both Maiden and Guns) and he gave a message for the fans:

2006 will be an exciting year for both bands.

That was in November, which I guess is way more valid than the 2005 statement which was back in June? (which probably changed cause of various reasons).

I guess my New York Times subscription expired some time ago.

I'm mainly going on the amount of chatter circulating now compared to pre-2002.  It still gets mentions and whatnot but in the mainsteam media there doesn't seem to be a buzz anymore.

LOL. What do you expect? There's no news, no releases. Axl is not out there, most of the band members are doing their own stuff...

Once the album is released (if ever, of course), it will be all over the media for sure. If VR did, why not GNR?

Pretty bitchin' that you organize stuff like that : ok:

But who knows w/ Merck, like everybody else who is employed by Axl but NOT Axl always trys to placate the fans by telling them stuff is just around the corner, soon, [insert your own cliche]. So I'll remain a tad skeptical- i think that we won't have to wait long one way or the other to see if this band is doing anything this year though-my uneducated guess, based on all the chatter here and on other sites is that we'll probably know something by March.

Either 06 is the year for GNR, or it'll be the year GNR falls apart.? I don't see the members sticking sticking around much longer.

Thanks for sharing C. AG...

Sounds good to me... : ok:

i really think something will happen in 06 wether the rise of new gnr or the fall of what never happened but could have been..  Sometimes I feel bad that I break some of your balls and say such negative things, I know a lot of you really love this new band and want to experience your own gnr experience that some of us did yester year.  Well for the younger people here I hope it does...

Even though I don't agree with alot of what happens like the keeping the name and all the sides taken and all this fighting I hope axl comes back strong and puts in one more positive piece of gnr before it ends,,

Good post, I'd like to be able to take part again in an expierience GNR for the new age, like you we both come fromthe same scene with GNR, but it truly would be awesome for young people to expierince GNR and hopefully like you say in a postive light before its done.

If news sources credited properly or were half as anal as I have been with crediting people then I wouldn't have to explain:

I'm not a MOD at another forum. I co-own ChineseDemocracy.com & gunsnroses.us .  I have a history of reporting news from the GNR Camp accurately along with other sources. I've gave you some serious & rare GNR media (Pitt, Boston, other stuff I can't admitt to  ;D).  My point is that I've done a lot of work for ya guys n gal's to throw it all away to make up a Slash rumor.

Also from running sites......   :-\ it sucks when news sources will quote you directly & DON"T source you as the direct source of news.

-BP  ChineseDemocracy.com

well thats good enough for me to believe  :beer: thanks bp.

Well for goodness sakes, if this is true.  When would we here something official?  Any ideas?

I always credit you dude, I even wrote to blabbermouth for ya.

Before the end of Q1 2006.

ive just read this post over at chinesedemocracy.com and although BP cant prove what slash said on wmmr,it does sound like the truth.like BP said ''I've done a lot of work for ya guys n gal's to throw it all away to make up a Slash rumor.''.but the question remains ''where did slash get his info and why would we here the news from slash.

yeah if march is really true, we should be hearing about ?a single very soon.

Like I said the only thing that makes sense is the GH2. slash would know when CD is being release IF there was a deadline for CD and if axl didnt hand over the album buy that date then GH2 would be released. So since slash knows GH2 is not coming out then CD is coming on and he could know the date. That is my best theory but slash could just be wrong again. Until Axls says it, its not set in stone.

Don't worry, BP. Even if it was printed in the Times, the pissers here would cry foul. Your word is gold in my book. Keep up the good work.

but if slash has been told something about CD from the management then surely he will be under a secrecy claus to stop any release dates leaking.

you're assuming management told slash directly about this-as Jarmo and Gigger have pointed out, it is probably the case that Slash heard it from Ross Halfin, who is a friend of both him and Merck.

so if axl has said to merck ''ill give you CD in march'' then merck has mentioned it to his friend ross halfin who then mentioned it to his friend slash.why would slash blurt it out on radio live.im sure merck didnt want ross to spread the news and the same goes for ross,im sure he didnt want slash to spread it about(well not until its at least on paper).OR MAYBE THATS THE PLAN

 All I can offer is that Merck can't slap everybody he talks to with a confidentiality agreement especially if he isnt specifically talking just about gnr. And maybe ross told slash in confidence but slash decided to say it anyway, who really knows? we're just postulating theories. my guess is that it wont be out in march, but that we could very well hear something about it by then.

I highly doubt that ross Haflin is the bridge between these two. Most likely, the theory is correct, though. Slash was aware of the Greatest Hits 2 being readied for release. His managers/lawyers were probably informed that Universal halted the release when Axl and company gave written confirmation that CD is finished and would be ready for release in March.

DAMN Im happy to read that, that means a lot, now Axl knows Slash still apreciates him, I think Slash also wants a reunion, he is great and honest.

By the way this is actually the first good interview Ive read in several years about gnr.

its kinda cool to hear slash saying something nice about axl.  he always defended axl even after leaving.  then he kinda became a bitch.  I think he wants back in gnr cause VR just isnt the same.  It's cool, but it's not the biggest band in the world.  At times like this I kinda wish they didnt call CD GnR and come up with a new band name or Axl solo but I do still believe it's axl's name and it's his band so whatever.

Exactly my point. 

Thank you.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.  If the album somes out in March, we should here something in Janurary.

Hi guys. I totally respect Slash and think he is the soul in GNR, and dont get me wrong, but How come Slash knows CD comes out in  March?

Read in this thread, there are a lot of talk about Ross and Merck.

Another GNR dream:

 Guns N Roses CD comes out on March with the original members, as a huge surprise to the world!!! it was all planed, the breakup, the hatred, etc etc etc... Now that would be awesome...? :peace:  It was a conspiration among the members. And Slash is telling us the future :d

I thought there was another thread about a reunion.

well if march is the month then a single is right around the corner...late jan..feb
otherwise we move on to the summer!

I recieved an email from the WMMR today and they said they will have the slash interview as a podcast by today or tomorrow.


 :peace:

 Great Job Dead_N_Bloated !
 
 Hope someone gets it!

The radio station is replaying the interview tonight at 9pm. Someone in the area should listen to it.

No streaming?

I'll try to catch it but I think their website offers streaming for those who want to hear it. www.wmmr.com

I'm listening to it online right now, thanks Acquiesce.

james, it's 9pm where? :(

East coast

DJ just said "coming up at 9:00, the 15 minute interview I did with Slash".

This sounds promising.

I'll try and record it.

I'm listening to it right now, the interview is a true story.  :P

Just started. I'm recording it too.

Axl knew Slash was in Vegas and said "don't let him in the fucking building!"

lol

Ok, Slash just said that Chinese Democracy is coming out in March! ?He said:

1. ?he knows Tommy Stinson

2. ?he doesn't blame Axl for Vegas fiasco, he blames maanger

3. ?he hang out with road crew of GNR after vegas show

4. ?he said CD is coming out in March and said it twice

5. ?He said anywhere from March to May, but thinks record is finished

The original poster told the truth. ?Very interesting now that this has been verified. ?Now the only question is whether Slash's info is any good.

He also said that he knew who everyone in the new band was except from Buckethead + that they will have the interview on their website tomorrow.

This interview just made me feel so much better, but we will see what happens in March I'll guess.

HE'S TALKING ABOUT MYGNR - LOL

He said he's going to be reading reader response at MyGNR - go over there now!

They just mentioned mygnrforum.com, lol

That moron said that Appetite For Destruction is coming out in March.

Appetite For Destruction...STARTS NOW!!   : ok:

That was funny!.lol :hihi:

You all are missing ONE important aspect of this interview.

At the beginning, Slash tells the dj that he is 'totally laquered'...meaning he has had a few drinks.

And Slash said he thinks it's gonna come out in March....or April or May.....and that VR album would probably be out before CD....he laughs about it.

He said he heard March but then said April, May, etc.  He said he's been told many things.

He did stick up for Axl.  He did credit Axl as a performer BEFORE he gave his view about Scott's performance.

Slash didn't seem too sure to me when CD will be out.  He heard March but he didn't really know for sure.

Besides, Slash admitted he had drank BEFORE the interview. :hihi:

Interesting to note that the DJ is friends with Tommy and the news of a Chinese Democracy release date completely shocked him.

So either Tommy doesn't tell his friends much, or Tommy's out of the loop with regards to the album.

Here's the part about Guns and CD:

http://rapidshare.de/files/10356681/Slash_Interview_by_Voodoochild.mp3.html

He does say that he heard March was the time. Little doubt there. He does joke about possible delays but it was a nice piece.

little doubt?

he said he thinks march...then says april and may as well.

he doesn't know.  he says he's heard  a lot of things but THINKS it's March.

i love slash to death but he sounds like he's kissing up to axl for whatever reason.

He said "march, april, may...around this time".

Anyways, this doesn't change anything for me. He may know some people, but I don't really think he knows something for real.

He said he heard march then joked that it could be april, may, or whenever. There is little doubt that he heard it was coming out in March. If you want to debate the quality of Slash's information, then that is a different thread.

Outta all the forums dedicated to gnr I cant believe he gave any credit to mygnr.com ... oh geez slash.  ::)

meh , thats probably where he got his "march" info.  :hihi:

13 pages about that?

Nice interview though, thanks voodoochild. ?: ok:

it was the DJ who gave credit to mygnr, not Slash

Thanks for the contribution.

ummm what?!

Slash has always said he wanted to hear it and was excited about it. Using the GNR name is a different story, but he's always said he wanted to hear it.

I think slash may have better inside information than the current bandmembers. I actually believe it will be out in March too.

thanks vc for rapidsharing that : ok:

 Well, it looks like Spring wil be the time when we know whats up with anything. Here's hoping.

how do i download the interview

does anybody have the whole interview to share

The whole interview can be downloaded here -

I disagree with you here Dolphin.  It sounded to me like Slash said "and Velvet Revolver is coming out with a new cd in march, april, or may"  Something along those lines.  And then the DJ said "yeah, I bet yours comes out before Chinese Democracy".  That's what I heard.

You must have listened to a different interview - I didn't hear that at all.

If you actually listen to the interview Slash says...


Slash is talking about Velvet Revolver when he says "March, april, may" not Chinese Democracy....  ::)

And we all know that VR's new record won't be out before July (according to Duff), so I don't know when they recorded this interview. Or VR's recording faster than they expected?

This was a great Interview!

Slash says March for GNR album
Slash says March, April or May for VR album!

He sounded so sure about this... hmm.. And he knows Tommy?

The interviewer also gave out some info about Buckethead. Saying he looks like a regular kinda guy without all the hair and stuff. I had wondered if Buckethead wears a wig. Guess he does ;)

Wow this is a pretty good interview, just listened to it all.

Slash sounds pretty damn certain about the new GN'R album in March.

I've said it before and I'll say it again all we need is just a little patience Slash is a legend  :peace:

This is what I heard:

Slash: Axl's got got a record coming out, Guns I guess you call it, I think in March.

Which is sorta cool, you know it's gonna be interesting to hear it. After all
this time and after all this talk what's going on with him.

DJ: So wait, Chinese Democracy is gonna come out?

Slash: Yeah, it's coming out in March...

DJ: OK..

Slash: That's what... I've been told a lot of things over the years, but it definitely
sounds like it's coming out in March.

DJ: We've been waiting forever.

Slash: Which means Velvet Revolver probably in March, April, May. Will be coming out
somewhere around that time. It'll be interesting.

DJ: Yeah, I was gonna say your record will probably come out first.

Slash: No, no... Yeah, well. All things considered, it could. That could happen, but...
Judging by, I think Axl's record is finished.





/jarmo

At least we know for sure what was said was real  :hihi:



Still sounds pretty interesting to me  ;)

yeah!

This is the most interesting part of it all Jarmo!
It really sounds like he knows something.. and not even a bad word against Axl! Only Good words! This i like!
Something in the air here.. but cant tell what..

Slash: No, no... Yeah, well. All things considered, it could. That could happen, but...
Judging by, I think Axl's record is finished. Seems like he is holding back he`s source there..

that definetly sounds to me like slash is talking about CHINESE DEMOCRACY.but i still cant get the damn thing to download.am i doing something wrong,i go to the link,then i have to wait 30 seconds,then i click slashinterview and about 2 mins later a page comes up saying web site not responding.hhhheeeellllppppp!!!!!

either way its still a longshot

i heard the radio thing ... i dunno ... slash's voice ..... it sounds like he is being silly, just jokin' ...... i dunno :) wierd.

can someone post a a regular download that actually works

Maybe Axl is cursing Slash right now... hehe

maybe axl will mention this interview in the 2006 Chinese Democracy World Tour (which is gonna happen  :hihi:).

What do they say about Buckethead in the interview?

Totally possible.

Slash: I think the only guy I didn't know was Buckethead, cause' he sort of had a mystique, you know that I, that I wasn't familiar with.

But the other guys, most of the session guys, you know that have been in different bands or whatever. (I can't hear what he's saying after that, because the sound is so bad).

DJ: Didn't you dress up as Buckethead for Halloween?

Slash: Yeah, a couple of years ago (laughs)

DJ: (Laugs) He look so different, backstage he's like a regular looking guy without all the hair and...

Slash: ...I never seen him, I only know, I only know him from pictures, figures?

Slash is cool...  : ok:

It confirms that Buckethead was (and sill is) an unknown artist, even in the music business. He is an absolute anti-success guy, a guy who has never interested people and never will.
Anyway, Slash sounds good to me in that interview. Cool to hear him again. 8)

All sounds good and positive to me! Another step closer!! Mike

It's a sad state of affairs when the only mutterings about the new GNR are from a member of the old GNR. :no:

He doesnt. Believe me , he really doesnt.

btw , at the start of the interview slash doesnt say he's "laquered" drunk of whatever , he says "accolades" cause the guy was praising him up.

I looked on the website of the radio station and there was no link, that was 2 days ago

Yeah, he'll come on stage in August at the STP VR show in honor of Weiland :rofl:

Matt Cord interviewed Slash before the Velvet Revolver show at the Borgata
Plus he got some inside dirt on Axl and the new Guns 'n Roses album...


http://www.wmmr.com/extra05.shtml




/jarmo

Actually....VR won a GRAMMY for Best hard Rock Performance.....something GnR never did win

linkin park won one,  :P are you saying linkin park is better than gnr  :hihi:

I don't think this is right. Bucket was lined up to play for Ozzy before he got in that  ATV accident. He doesn't mind playing with his heroes and isn't afraid of success. Most people just don't understand his performance art.

what's a dirt? is it a special information? a confidential one?

Let's not forget that Axl Rose hand picked him to be in his re-tooled Guns N Roses lineup.

Also , SOAD's singer Serj has begged bucket for years to record an album with him which they did in 05 , "Buckehead and Friends - Enter The Chicken"

To say Bucket doesnt interest people is silly ... just bear in mind that buckethead doesnt write bubblegum pop music for the radio and for these same reasons some of the best guitar players in the world such as satch and vai are also relative unknowns.

Well, if you remember, that article wasn't exactly complimentary and sure got a stron rebuttale from Merck ;D

Not in the least, I was commenting on a this false statement "VR will never produce an album that will get everyone attention and will never get a music awards." 

Personally I like GnR best from the Lies and AFD days; I think they got a little bloated during the Illusion albums

I read an interview with Ozzy where he would've only if Bucket lost the bucket and mask and Bucketface wouldn't, so he didn't.  I don't think the ATV accident had anything to do with it

good post Saul :beer:

Sorry could someone explain the ATV Accident please?

Ozzy Injured In ATV Accident

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/12/10/entertainment/main587724.shtml

This story has been picked up by 2 danish websites...

They are not posting many things about GNR, so this is big!!! : ok:

http://ekstrabladet.dk/VisArtikel.iasp?PageID=328560

http://gaffa.dk/nyheder/view.php/news_id=14719

No, This I Love...  ;)

Slash didn't admit he drank before the interview. The radio guy calls him a true legend, to which slash reples, 'thats a pretty heavy accolade'. I think you were confusing the word accolade with laquored. And i don't think he was joking around when he said all this stuff, he sounded pretty serious to me, he was probably just laughing at how surprised the DJ was when he told him CD would be out in March. What's really interesting here though is that someone who was actually at Vegas 01/01/01  (that being the Dj i cant remember his name) actually quotes Axl as saying 'Don't let him in the fucking building'. Then having learned this Slash is nice enough to say that it was probably just Axl's entourage that kept him out that night, even though the guy just told him what he said. God what a great interview...... AND SLASH KNOWS TOMMY STINSON? WTF

Apparently this wasn't the true story.  Ozzy spun the encounter a bit when asked about it from a reporter, but according to Mick Trammel, a close personal bot of Shawn Lane and Buckethead, Bucket was set to do the gig until Ozzy got hurt.

Slash's info, like his hairstyle, is a little out-dated  :hihi: (That was a joke)

Considering it's Jan, with no announcement immediately forthcoming in the next couple of weeks, I think you can discount March as an active option

Thank you.  Now lets pray that this thread will go away.

Not immediately forthcoming? ?Does that mean an announcement in the coming months?

How do we know that! Could be a announcement tomorrow, or maybe next week for all we know! ?: ok:

or next month or in 07

There will not be in the next couple of weeks. Too many people are on holiday at the moment for that

cool interview...the dj wasa actually nice towards axl

that was by far the best interview i heard from slash!
finnaly a dj that actually likes New Gn'R, and he's a friend of tommy. i gotta say slash was kinda put on the spot there towards Axl, cuz the DJ obviously liked the band. and he was lucky enought to hang out with tommy and Axl back in 2000.
awsome.

Mysteron just let the cat out of the bag

the album comes out in May, BUT the first single and video hit in March.

what? :-\

What?

what?

Mysteron, at this right moment in the GNR camp ( begin of the the year, and a "promissing year" acouding to Merck ), do you know something about the album or nothing again?

If u have followed Mysteron the way I have u will notice his Freudian Slip.


Mysteron always dispells rumors vehemently and leaves no room for shit to happen if its false.

Mysteron as u notice said "nothing is coming in the next TWO WEEKS cause everyone is on holiday, but he didnt say that NO ANNOUCNEMENT IS COMING as he always has said in the past.

So that being said,Slash said CD is coming out in March, that doesnt mean the album per se, only that the shit is gonna get goin in March.

U release the single, video all that in March, the CD comes out perfectly in time for late Spring/early summer which besides christmas time is the best time to release a product.

I wouldn't rule out news from GnR by March but I'd be surprised if a single drops before early April.

I agree with Mysteron though, an album in March is unlikely. If I was a betting man I'd go for May.

Look out for the Rio headliner announcements, the Da Vinci Code soundtrack details and the bandmembers schedules if you want real info.

I'm confident that the first half of 2006 will be an exciting time to paraphrase Merck.

just to let you guys know that the thing is spreading...

http://www.whiplash.net/materias/news_916/027092-gunsnroses.mv

big Rock n roll Brazilian site, and they mentioned HTGTH

 :)

seems this thing is getting big.well we havnt heard off the management rubbishing this yet.the thing is,is it important enough that if its fake,will we hear off the management to tell us or will we be wondering until the end of march.hope that makes sense (just got in from the pubs an i cant see straight,hiccup) :beer:

it wouldn't matter (atleast to me )if management squashed this one . Right now I don't put to much into anything that comes out of the guns camp as reliable .

Yeah, if its false, they definitely need to "squash" it. But I have a feeling they wont, because it keeps the hardcore fanbase interested and buys them more "precious time". : ok:

CD is coming in 06.

They wouldnt have pulled the release of Greatest hits volume 2 unless Axl had this thing finished.

So since we didnt get GH Vol 2, I find it myself being very optimistic that this means the CD is finished.

when exactly does it come out in 06? cant tell u, but its comin this year.

FUCK YEAH IT STARTS NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ok:

Part of me hope your right .But they also puled the first Gh at one time too.


i guess I'm just trying not to get My hopes up to high .

Journey just said the same thing so ill tell u what i told her.


Why did they pull it?

Cause Axl promised to deliver CD, Correct?

he didnt deliver so they released it.

So if they pulled version 2 its cause axl promised to deliver hence richard comin back in December.

it is all comin together my fellow GNRalites!

Well hopefull the little red head delivers this time

 if your wrong my friend .Your fate will be the same as I said in the WWe game 2 topic. :hihi:

dude if im wrong, all my fellow Guns N Rose bushes alites can personally beat me down.

the males are the Guns bullets the females are now known as the Rose Bushes.

I hope you're right. Its definitely a believable scenario. There's no reason for it not to come out this year. What could possibly cause another year long delay?I think the only thing that could cause a delay into 2007 is if a band member left. If its finished, or 99% finished, there's no reason for a bandmember to leave. So here's to CD in 2006! :beer: (Knocking on a gigantic piece of wood)

there is a dick joke in there somewhere..... :hihi:

that's gonna be great if album comes in 06... can't wait anymore :D

*slash says chinese democracy starts in march*


The beginning or the end?  ;D

Duh!?  Mybe because he made GNR what it stood for,  ever thought of that one!?
Obviously not!   If you took sometime to think about it,  you'd realise that GNR wouldn't mean what they have ment without Slash solos and riffs.
He was the key figure.

Slash was more than the key Figure, he was the one who made GN'R as talented as led Zeppelin with Axl.
Axl-Slash was like Page-Plant or Jagger-Richards. Slash is an icon of an entire generation. mlillion people start playing guitar because of him,
maybe even Axl himself!

What was out-dated? The release date he mentioned or that CD is finished?  ???  (Considering that Richard had to go back to record some I think both...)

thanks for the link....it was a good listen

Hey Mysteron Happy New Year to you mate! I am a little confused here. I cant comment one way or another as to what your inside knowledge is on Guns N Roses and if you do have any, then fair play on you! I have always read your posts with interest and respect, and also with the hope that you really do have this inside info! Maybe you do, maybe you dont! But your quote above interests me greatly. I have just listened to the download of the Slash interview and it was a very very interesting listen! It put to bed so much of the shit that I have heard in the media over the years about the relationship with Slash and Axl and all other kinds of stuff. I am not insinuating the two dudes are mates now, but there does not seem to be the hatred there that the media have made out. Anyway getting to the point that relates to your above comment. With Slash saying that he believes that Chinese Democracy will for certain be coming out in March, I believe this is the most postive and believable news I have heard about the band in years. I mean come on! Slash may not be in GnR anymore but I am sure that he knows a fucking lot about about what is going on within the camp so his info probably has quite a bit of truth to it (the bit of the interview about the 01 vegas gig, where slash spent the night after the gig hanging out with the guns road crew even though he could not get entrance to the gig just goes to show that he still has friends in the camp). Now Mysteron this is really what my point is: What reason do you put behind your above comment about there being no announcement coming in the next fortnight? If the current band members are not sure of the plans then how do you? How do you know that Slashs comments are wrong? To me it sounds like positive news from a person who probably has more right to have inside info on the current band than anyone else! I cant even imagine how many high powered people in the music business that Slash could get info from, that us mere fans could only dream of. So what makes your info more credible? Like I said earlier I respect what you say and write Mysteron generally, and if you do have really good and up to date knowledge on the band then I apologise, but your comment above seems a bit odd and it is just a little unfair to tease us with snippets of info when we are dying for something to get really excited about! I have moaned on this board before about some of the things ex GnR members have said about Axl or the new band. Because I dont mind admitting, I am an Axl Rose man through and through, always have been since the early days even though the whole band were cool as fuck, he is awe inspiring and a genius. But a lot of the things Slash said during this interview were being positive about Axl. And it made me for one think that what he said about Chinese Democracy coming out in March may have a great deal of credibility to it! Just my thoughts, I would be very keen to hear yours, and like I said I am not trying to be confrontational here or take the piss. I'm just airing a few thoughts mate! Take it easy! Mike

Another mention of this Slash / Chinese Democracy / March history:

http://www.89fm.com.br/notas/?14790

site of a HUGE Rock N Roll Radio Station here in Brazil, and they even put a possible tracklist

Now Blabbermouth.net has a hold of this story.I don't know what to think about this whole thing I am trying not to get my hopes up because as we all know with Guns it can go either way but this still excites me just a little.I think what D said is most likley to happen I just hope it happens this year I want to see Guns on the road and out there again and when they do tour I pray for no riots but you really can't blame the riots on Axl or the band because the rioting was just people acting stupid.

This tracklist is just a reharsh of old rumored titles. I guess it was something started by Splat along with some site called xfm.com and it's being repeated so many times that some people might think it's true.

GnR management have become very adapt at crushing hope. I guess living in a vacuum is better than in the matrix.

So no March? wow, big surprise.  Pushing for another rumored Fall release. LOL.

I hope it's true and happens soon. How doe sthis thread keep going so long.. ? It is either true or not,, if anythijng gnr's team will do like always and say cd is not coming out in march..

I'll be honest I love when a rumor gets big enough to get gnr's team involved so at least we can read their saying it won't be happening then..

Fake. Subtitute is not a GN'R track

But, "Prostitute" is : ok:

who even knows what the tracks will really be called anymore?? Who even cares what they will be called after this long just as long as they are there..

i couldnt care if they were called dipsy lala tinky winky and po just as long as there is an album to listen to

teletubbies rule ;D Don't forget nu nu

i didnt know where to put this and i didnt want to start a new thread but,is it just my imagination or is there a lot more poeple visiting this message board since slashs interview.i just counted at the top of this page and theres 47 poeple here of which 23 are unregistered guests.maybe just huntin for info.

is nu nu that hoover thing  :rofl:

(http://www.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~ondre1am/teletubbies/tele018.jpg)

mike and Mr W unite for Halloween!

Look! It's the new GN'R lineup for 2006!

Seriously, that was the ugliest picture I have seen in a long, long time..

Man who the hell is the guy in the green..he looks exactly like my stepfather... :hihi:

that reminds me,i gotta pick that costume up of the drycleaners coz mike spilt his beer down my arm  :hihi:

it always seems to be that way.. I don't know if it's people from other boards or what but irs was the last huge outpoor of people.. I have no idea where these people come from

and yes nu nu is the vaccum

nu nu sucks  :rofl:.i wasnt sure it just seemed like a lot of poeple here tonight.

Tubby Democracy starts now!

i should av guessed that was coming  : ok:

But how? How in the world could you guess I would say something like that?!  ???

 :peace:

Your predicitions start now?

just another rumour link from Norway

http://www.nrk.no/musikk/5369199.html

nothing new

Over a couple of nights this has becomed such a big thing and know these "news" (I made these " " because it might just be a rumour) have started to spread across the Globe.

But that's good, I hope and believe it's true.

i don't see why slash would lie about this, although his words are no guaratee for an actual release.... lets just hope his friends know what they're talking about... :-\

Maybe a bit of oneupmanship....who knows. But I doubt Axl would like slash to break this news....The more I think about this, the less likely I believe it will land in March.

Slash looks old as FUCK in the pic on this site. haha.

hahah, is Stinson Stinson a new nickname for Tommy?

Darn, though I love to sack and pillage, I can't read Viking.  :'(

Hahaha, "I can't read viking."

ill translate it for you.
  former guns n roses guitarist slash has become the first human to give birth to a penguin.yes a penguin.this may come as a shock to you but can you imagine slashs reaction when he went to the loo for a dump and out popped a lil healthy baby boy penguin.he named it poo guin hudsan and is expected to keep the penguin at home with his other children london and cash.slash who recently commented on his ex bands new album which is fronted by legendry frontman Axl Rose.slash says the new album Chinese Democracy will hit the stores sometime in march of this year.he says the info came from non other than....yes his new baby penguin.the penguin is believed to have been born with a tattoo on his left shouldr which reads,"Chinese Democracy WILL be out in march 2006 so all you doubters over at HTGTH can stick that in your pipe and smoke it".its not yet clear what HTGTH is yet but scientists are hard at work trying to find out.maybe its some kind of satanist group or something,who knows.but the good news is that we might just get this legend of an album they call Chinese Democracy before the summer.

                      W,A,R.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything. Remember, the same thing happened with the original Greatest Hits. It popped up on Amazon with a release date somewhere around Thanksgiving 03. It mysteriously dissapeared but  as we all know it was eventually released in March 04. So I wouldn't  assume GH2 is pulled for good.

I think if you are going to honestly release the album and someone had an idea of the time period it would be good for someone to mention it just to get a buzz going.. Doesn't matter to us because axl can say it's coming out january 7th and we'd be out the next day..

Sirius Hair Nation just repeated the Slash statement today about cd coming in March - not that it's a credible statement, but interesting

It would be if it were definately coming, but if this is just another nebulous target date, slash's comments could fuel more of this release date parlor game. Much like the blurb at the end of the GnR BTM.

I think every music media will just hear about it and just pass it along.. Hell the daily news had twelve alive one dead after the mine exploded.. people print hear say as fact instead of doing research.. These days when someone says so n so also printed the same thing it's not as impressive

Slash said Axl was trying to release it simultaneously with the contra band.
Seemingly he's really concerned about Axl. :hihi:
The prediction for the March release is not new to us is it?
They are news. :hihi:

Slash hasn't lied imo

People get snapshots of information. Sometimes they get brave and give fans an update as to what is up, perhaps throwing in a few opinions. But then everything changes and that information isn't valid anymore

The funny thing is this has happened so often yet many of you act so perplexed and critically when situations like this occur.

Indeed. Slash is just passing on info that he was told. If it turns out to be wrong (which I think it will), it's not because Slash lied it's because the info he passed on was false or became invalid.

So, why not just shut up untill is 100% sure?

Why would Slash care if he gave false info on an album he isn't even working on? Doesn't bother him does it. He was just passing on what he was told. You can either br grateful or ignore it. Your choice but don't blame him if the album isn't released because he had nothing to do with that.

if it happens great, if not it wasn't going to happen anyways.. ANyone can get some wrong info.. Doesn't affect slash one way or another.. Guy isn't sitting around thinking how can I get publicity for new gnr...

Of course not. But was his choice to say something about this album. He knows if it turns out to be wrong, everybody would blame Axl, not him.

Also, the subject wasn't brought by the DJ, Slash could have only talked about the new band. But he wanted to talk about Chinese in march and talked like it was for real this time. Well, either he is just naive or he didn't care much to say something not so reliable just to laugh about it later.

It's the people that 'blame' that have/are the problem, not Axl

From the audio, Slash was clearly being sincere. As in he has been led to believe that it will actually be out in March. He clearly stated that he has been told loads of stuff in the past but he actually believes it this time.

I disagree with him - I don't think it'll come out in March, my money's on May but there we go. It's no ones fault if he's wrong or I'm wrong. So let's just drop the "If CD doesn't come out in March then Slash lied" stuff. The only person who you can rely on when it comes to the album release is Axl - when he says it's coming out, it's coming out. Until then everyone who mentions a date or gives you information is simply passing on what they have been told - not telling you what is the gospel truth. That applies to Slash, the bandmembers, Mysteron, Sp1at and just about everyone else who tries to find out what the fuck is going on in the world of GnR.

really?  ;D

so pretty  much the entire music industry, most of the GnR fanbase, and 95 % of the non fan base..... ::)

I think Voodoo is right.

I wonder if anyone else has quoted this yet. Call me crazy, but if it hasn't been posted, I thought I'd put forth:

With the title being "Chinese Democracy", the Tianammen date is April 22. And the peak time of the workers strike was May 18/19-would this have anything to do?. Slash throwing a date of March-maybe this would be a release for a single? Then have the album release on the anniversary of the Square or the Workers strike?

Completely random thought. But I was just reading Toffler's "Powershift" and it clicked in me head.

Also, back in Dec 02, at MSG, Axl said "See you next summer!". Could the release have been April or May 03 and a summer 03 tour would have happened?

Back under the rock I go.

You forgot the media, kv.

Mysteron, I have a board. I know how people deal with this kind of frustration... I didn't say it was Axl's problem, though.

why would people blame axl if what he said was wrong?? Not like he said axl told him.. ANyways by now the blame has been on axl already even if he never mentioned it

there's a quote running out there where axl said something about several albums an dtouring like the illusions with "short" breaks in between, like tour the winter then a spring or summer tour then rest etc.. 

You already said the answer. If nothing happens again, who's to blame?

I'm saying axl is already to blame because of his saying things about cd already.. No one is going to give direct blame if what slash said is not true.... I'm still waiting for axl next summer that he said in 02

This is amazing news, It's great to hear Slash talking so highly about Axl, and it's awesome to know that he's not saying fucked up things about Axl, the future seems to be looking bright for GNR so glad that Slash brought up Chinese Democracy!? : ok:

each day that goes by without hearing anything off the GNR camp makes me think less of what slash said.i think if its true about march for an album or a single then we sould hear very soon but till then,im gonna treat this like any rumour.but i still have my fingers crossed.

I think my promise of give beer to everyone in here when CD is release is coming true!  :peace:
I just cross my fingers so it makes real, also i made a shrine with a candle so CD gets release  ;D

Because then we wouldnt hear shit from anybody and this site would be dead by now. Thats why.

Im gonna hold you to that one  ;)

well it's the second week of january, if we were getting a march release I think something would be said damn quick or it isn't going down

You are right.

Does 'Chinese Democracy' come out in march? I don't think so, but if it does they must have some damn fast and good promotion for it.

What makes Slash's comments interesting is the fact that the trial is scheduled to begin on March 28th.

These two events in the GNR world cannot happen in the same month, it's impossible. Slash saying these things gives hope that an out-of-court settlement isn't far off, though.

Stop thinking March... start thinking May.

Bands that are releasing albums in April are making press releases at the moment.

So if it's coming in May (in time for Rock in Rio and the Da Vinci Code soundtrack) then we'll hear about it in February/March.

Do you really think he would say someting bad aboot axl in public?? No he says so much shit about him behind doors most of which gets put out but not many see it.  And he is to blame if it doesnt come out bc axl said see ya next summer not CDs out next summmer. We havent heard from him in like 3yrs so i dont see how you blame him.

I'm glad you know Slash so well.

I think people are annoyed because he said see ya next summer and they didnt.

Obviously people thought the 'Chinese Democracy World Tour' was to promote the album in the relatively near future. However Axl never said anything remotely close to this (as far as im aware). However the things they did get from Axl e.g 'see ya next summer' didn't happen either.

I think some fans hear one statement from Axl or Slash that wasnt true and hold it against them for eternity.

Slash made it pretty obvious that he was saying that from what he has heard it would appear that Chinese Democracy (he doesn't even name it, the DJ has to prompt him to confirm it is CD) is coming out in March.

yea and axl said soon wasnt the word he said it would be a while so wtf is everyone bitching about the time and what axl said. Bc axl never said next year (2003 or 04 or 05 or 06) he never gave a fucking date. And why be glad he brought it up it was just so ppl would be like omg slash said somthing about cd good about axl just so ppl will listen to vr and ge some sttention. Look at the law suit and the shit he said like axl did even write the songs it was all them and he would make shit up abou8t what they were about. yea slash has some really good things to say about axl.

Slash is too professional to criticise Axl in public.

I wish the same could be said about Axl.

hes said shit about axl in public. And axl didnt say anything bad about slash in public he said whats going on and how he and duff as fucked bi time but never made shit up or talked shit abut him liuke slas has.

blaa blaa blaa, I decided not to even comment...
On the topic, im just waiting for next Slash interview where he will probably be asked about this...

colt is correct about soon not being the word.  people have no right to bitch about anything.  Didnt axl say if it were never to happen you would not have missed a thing?  he made no promises about anything.  Also, im sure it would be out by now if it were not for buckethead.

i have a "poster" on my wall 8cut it out of a magazine) and it sais : SLASH IS A LIAR.
and that was axl's words... and calling someone a liar is negative, so axl aint no saint...

its not negative when axl is telling the truth about something. Slash is a liar axl wasn't talking shit he was stating a fact. Saying that he didnt write any songs and made what they were about up is a lie and shit.

What are u even talking about???

It wasn't Slash that said that about Axl not writing songs; it was Duff and he was MISQUOTED.

And really, how do u know who is telling the truth.  You don't know Axl OR Slash; you're just talking out the side of your neck.

axl even said it was a farewell tour i think.....   in pittsburgh for example if i remember

correctly
well duff wasn?t really misquoted. in his response he said he forgot that axl wrote "my world"............    so take it for what it`s worth.   he really lost some of my respect towards him with those two statements...

I've been around these boards for about 18 months and not once have I heard this.

what ever i for got duff said it but they both lie though. And he was not MISQUOTED dick fuck he said thoes exact words and then chaned it latter when more ppl heard and saw it.Duff did shit in the band anyways sry for screwing the two up. 

Can you put a coherent sentence together??

Again, unless you know Axl, Slash, & Duff personally, you don't know what happened, or who is telling the truth.

I'm not going to be too concerned with my grammar and spelling on a fucking forum site. I dont give a shit how it looks im not graded and i suck at typing so i dont bother.

WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT OTHERS SAY ANYWAY! This is Axl's band and if you all rember Slash's is in my ass Thats were he is So he must only hear SHIT! :hihi:

I think He meant a farewell to the oldies?

We all know that thread is in the Dead Horse section.  Thats why I posted that there.

It's nice news to hear. But this is the same guy we all attacked for claiming only two songs were finished (or something along those lines). So have the rest all been completed since, at a time when the other band members were off touring on other projects?

I'm feeling very sure Chinese Democracy will be out this year, but not because of what Slash said.

I would'nt doubt that at the time Axl only had 2 songs completed, at least vocally.? It's no secret that Axl likes to do the vocals dead last when recording.? I do the same thing myself when doing vocals for my band.? Doing the vocals last allows you to key into all the instruments i.e. putting a harmony over a lead solo etc.? It's the smart thing to do.?

not because of what Slash or whoever said, but because of what I sense.
Believe the magic number of 8! : ok:


Does it?  I thought only "MSN. Search" said so.  ???

Where does it say this??It still says NO NEWS FOUND when i go there. :no:

Look in the dead horse thread, the rest of us have seen it before and don't care.

This March rumor that Slash started has grown some serious legs.? I've gotten well over a dozen Google updates since his interview.

You're calling a woman here "dick fuck"? You have no class.

Maybe the album will only have two songs on it.

I can imagine two 35 minute songs.

Yeah, an extended version of Coma, and an alternate extended version of Coma. :hihi:

Haha nice one..I like it..I dont belive the March rumour though..Wed know somehtibg by now I think and I also think Slashis just saying whathe heard and isnt aware that the fans hang onto anyhthoing about the album

Yeah, everyone can forget about March, unless a CD announcement is coming this week. There's not enough time to promote it properly. Unless Axl's just gonna release it with no promotion. But who knows. I just wish he releases it before we all have a million posts each and drop dead. :hihi:

Since I heard the word 'epics', I've been waiting for a few +30 mins hard rockers... :yes:

Here's the Jam! Music (Canadian website) article on Slash's comments:

GNR disc set for a March release
By MIKE BELL -- Calgary Sun

Putting thoughts in print is a sketchy proposition.

The reason being, no sooner do you write something, then you turn around and it's immediately dispelled or proven wrong or libelous and you're slapped with a summons, or merely slapped.

For example, a week ago I wrote on my online diary -- which I call a "weblog," or "blog," if you will -- "i thinke lindsee lohan iz going to hav a sooper yeer. i see nuthing butt helth and gud fortun for the superhott singer in 2006!! lol! :-)."

(I have no idea what any of that last stuff is, but I'm pretty sure it makes me net savvy -- whatever the hell that means.)

Unfortunately, this week, as everyone knows, Lohan died.

Or went nuts. Or something.

It doesn't really make a difference -- what matters is she's not enjoying gud fortun (although the nekkid Vanity Fair pictures do further the freckled one's superhottness) and I have, in turn, been proven wrong.

Well, the same can be said for an article which ran in Friday's Sun, which bemoaned the upcoming months in the music industry as being slow and without much to get excited about.

Turns out, that was only partially correct -- the next few months do blow, but it appears there may be something that will set off as close to a CD-buying stampede as you'll ever see.

According to former Guns N' Roses, current Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash, the legendary Chinese Democracy is set for release this spring.

Slash recently told a Philadelphia radio station his former band -- now consisting of only Axl Rose from the original lineup -- has completed the 10-year-in-the-making, on-again, off-again album and is getting ready to finally let the world hear it.

"It's coming out in March," Slash tells the station. "I've been told a lot of things over the years, but it definitely sounds like it's coming out in March."

Slash says he didn't hear the news from Rose himself, admitting, also, he hasn't spoken to his former frontman since he left the band a decade ago -- which has led to much speculation about their relationship.

"I haven't really talked to him directly, but we're not at each others throats, or anything like that -- just to kill all of that bad blood that people keep recreating," Slash explained. "God, it's been going on for 10 years.

"He and I have never had a conversation, an argument ... over that whole 10 years and people have been generating all this animosity.

"But at this point there's no friction going on."

If you want to hear the entire interview, you can check it out at www.gmppodcast.com/tabid/58/mid/380/ItemId/157/default.aspx.

And if you want to hear the album, close your eyes and wish it so. Just don't write it down -- you'll only be disappointed.

Not at all!

Where did Slash get information? He's not the  member of the GNR camp.....

Slash is saying the record will be out just to fuck with Axl. He's getting a laugh by putting him on the spot- saying"it will be out in March" just put pressure on Axl- which is really funny :hihi:....Just my opinion on things

Apparently GN'R management says there's no date.

Please continue the discussion in this thread (http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=24732.0) since it's not about Slash's comments anymore.
