Its in Dutch. Another forum translated this as :

"The DJ said that Axl Rose wasn't very happy with it (the leaks) but Axl said that the problem will be solved at the end of March, then the album is in stores"

what the fuck? ?

This cant be true..

why not ?

Axl apparently has moved to Holland. ???

Exactly why not.

axl was in da club before the leaks wasnt he ?
or maybe was he talking about the first IRS leaks.

i mean, i'd be happy to get the cd in march, but what about marketing and all ! such a waste, this could have been great  ..... what ever

Same ole for me...I don't believe anything unless it's official.

what the... :o

Agreed. ?Why would a dutch radio station get info such as this?

Some people are trying to confirm it.

Perhaps someone can call the station?

Because i dont understand why he should be in contact with a Dutch radio station!

But damn who knows! I think the last few days has been to waird to be true anyway!

"and by the way" i replyed as a "reaction" not as "fact.." ?

Maybe they called him and he took the call?

It's only just over mid Feb now.. plenty of time for marketing. Anyway we may just get a single or soundtrack song or something around this time period with the album more toward the US summer.

If only it was that easy..

Ah well.. you never know.

Nieuwe Guns n' Roses lekt uit

Twee nieuwe Guns n' Roses-nummers zijn momenteel te downloaden via het internet.

Het gaat om het nummer 'Better', waarvan een videoclip circuleert en de track 'I.R.S.', die al in 2003 werd geschreven en toen al in het bezit kwam van de Amerikaanse deejay Eddie Trunk.

Zanger Axl Rose is er niet blij mee, maar zegt, dat het probleem eind maart is opgelost. Dan ligt het nieuwe album van de heren namelijk gewoon in de winkel.


Translation:
2 new GN'R songs are available on the i-net.
The songs are called 'Better" (of which a VIDEOclip is circulating) adn the track 'I.R.S.', which was written in 2003 and was already played on the air by american DJ Eddie Trunk.

Singer Axl Rose isn't happy with this, but says, that the problem is fixed at the end of march. Because then the new album will be available in stores.

So to say the least...they have just been mixing all the interviews/rumours to this nice fantasy story.

i really would like to get my hands on that videoclip of better ;)

Riiiiight.... ;D

i`m pretty sure this is pure misinterpretation and misinformation.......

I don't think so. ?Even if the CD is ready and is "gold" they still need to go through the production process, distrubution process etc. ? The is no way right now for distributors to order the CD either. ?There's still quite a bit of work. ?I'd love to be wrong and I'd love to see Chi Dem in March, but I just don't see it somehow.

I think so too.

My guess is that the station got the information off the internet. I tried to contact them. In the meantime, since I am an English teacher and I am Dutch, let me translate the article for you:

Nieuwe Guns n' Roses lekt uit
New GNR leaks

Veronica (name of station)
Twee nieuwe Guns n' Roses-nummers zijn momenteel te downloaden via het internet.
Two new gnr songs can be downloaded off the internet right now.

Het gaat om het nummer 'Better', waarvan een videoclip circuleert en de track 'I.R.S.', die al in 2003 werd geschreven en toen al in het bezit kwam van de Amerikaanse deejay Eddie Trunk.
It concerns the track 'Better' of which a video clip (yes, that is what it says!) is circulating and the track "IRS', which was written in 2003 and came into possession of the American DJ Eddie Trunk. (I guess they assume it is the same recording, but I don't quite agree with that theory)

Zanger Axl Rose is er niet blij mee, maar zegt, dat het probleem eind maart is opgelost. Dan ligt het nieuwe album van de heren namelijk gewoon in de winkel.
Singer Axl Rose isn't pleased with this, but says that the problem would be solved at the end of March. That's when the new album of the gentlemen (plural) will be for sale in stores.

End of article. Very sloppy translation, but I guess you can understand. Doesn't state a source.

Be great if it happens, but personally I don't think its legit.  Reporters seem to be taking a lot of liberties with quotes and information concerning CD.

Slash was telling the truth? :o

slash was right he knew ;D

Slash is my hero. HE knew all along. Of course, banking on this story being true. :smoking:

Although former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash told a Philadelphia radio station last week that he heard a March release date was on tap for the long-delayed Gn'R album, the band's management has told "people" that no release date has been set. Slash said that he had learned about the March date from sources inside the Guns camp. A management spokesperson said that the new album, titled Chinese Democracy, "is coming," but its official arrival date had not at that timebeen "officially" determined, It will however be announced very soon and has now been "officially" determined. I am not saying Slash was wrong, just very-unofficial, if you get what I am saying.

Axl just a few weeks ago said that 26/32 songs were not done.

Considering the geologic timescale on which this band operates, I doubt very strongly that March could ever be feasible.

I hope they surprise me. I really do.

But I do think now that the promotion for this album has to be very short and  very furious.

where did you get his from??

Right now promotion wouldnt need to be very big, as there is a HUGE buzz surrounding guns. If Axl came out today and said the album was going to be released on such and such a day the buzz would grow 10 fold.

Unless it was a double album they only need half that amount or even less for one solid album

OH MY GOD, you have some kind of special summer in the US? Damn, why did I come in the middle of the winter...  :hihi:

You are in the middle of all the promotion they need.? :P Web-Blogs, Radio Stations, News Networks, Message Boards. Everyone is talking about Gn'R.

thats what i meant.....

Also they can't risk anymore leaks.

We have a taste of CD now. They need some live performances and perhaps someone to interview Axl.

that is true.. but ?why dont they start teasing with a new website.. i always hoped for a Official GNR website, "THAT WORKS". The gnronlie thing is a joke..
and there is a videoclip from better? where does that source come from?

I could see cd coming out in march if it was late, late march.

I think they mis-translated the word 'clip' (not whole song) with video clip. So, they didn't do their homework. Very unreliable source, BTW. Veronica is all right, but Shownews gets their stories from the gutter, where most of these stories should stay IMO.

Who cares. We will get it when we get it. I seriously doubt a radio station in Holland got an interview with Axl Rose. It doesn't make sense although we clearly know nothing of his goings on.

Hm,
I think the buzz isn't as huge as you think.
The problem is to be objective. Of course we all know about the leaks and every radiostation who has some gnr news.
But the common people don't know. I have asked some friends of mine, who even like gnr, and they haven't heard anything about the leaks.

If you would have told me last month that Axl would play Chinese Democracy at a strip club in the wee hours of the morning, I would have said it didnt make sense. Nothing makes sense in the GNR world.

If you told me that today I'd say it doesn't make sense.

Alot of internet sites (non gnr sites) are reporting about it and its being played on radio startions to millions of people. I would say thats some damn big promotion/buzz going on there....

They recorded an album.

Yeah, just because you're friends are g'nr fans doesn't mean that they look up at the internet. Just wait for the fire to spread.

Release date announced
About thirty days or so
Before the street date.

Splash

/Mike

I remember they also announced the premiere date/time for the YCBM video on MTV.  Never forget watching that with my VCR ready thinking "wow, they are BACK!!!"

I would hate to think anyone would put words into axl's mouth

BUT probably this radio station heard the leaks, pieced it together with slash's statement about march being the release month, and then reported that axl said it.

March..............2009

Hmmm I'll give veronica(The radiostation)a call tomorrow :)

In my opinion they need much more promotion if cd is on it's way.
Think of any HUGE bands today like U2. I think the whole world knew when HTDAAB was going to be released.

coolt i hope its not a damn joke.

wow... ok, this is getting a little out of hand. :-)

I have had several email contacts with this radio dj from Veronica. (this started when the new Axl pics -with the goatee- showed up) I've showed him those pics, this forum & website. He was pretty cool about it all, and thanked me on national radio and even named www.heretodaygonetohell.com. So, the day after IRS & Better were leaked, I told him about it, and that they were floating around. I used the word 'clip', but in Dutch that mainly means "videoclip'. My mistake, but I was reading the word in English context everywhere... So, it's very probable they didn't have the (audio) clips yet by the time they published this article on their site. (Since they believed a videoclip was leaked, instead of the audio file)
I also told him about SLASH's remarks on the release of CD in March. He probably didn't 'understand' me well, and published a slightly different story of AXL saying this... Kinda freedom of expression... :-)

Today I got an email of him saying he might wanna play it during his show. I haven't been able to listen to it the whole 2 hours, so don't know if he did yet. (I told him that it'll probably be illegal, but he wasn't convinced...) Tomorrow he's got another show, so who knows...

Anyway, hope this clears things up a bit. The source was informed by me (maybe some others as well), but "rearranged" my info a bit.

remco

Is that confirmed?
Who is your source?
Do you have a link?

Did I forget anything?

Axl might just get pissed off, and go into hiding! for another 10 years

 :rofl: @ kujo

while i dont believe for a moment that chinese democracy will see the light of day this coming march, i do think you're underestimating the power that the axl rose and guns n roses names and brand carry. u2 et al dont really need to have such a fanfare over their new album and tours, but they arent a comparison anyway. guns and axl are a unique (to say the least) case. and (though im not sure about distribution and pressing and that malarky) it would be entirely possible for them to announce a release date in a weeks time and the world to go utterly nuts.

such is the myth and power of the band, axl and this record that a buzz and attention are a split second away, and it would take very, very little to catapult them back into a prominent position in the cultural psyche and the mainstream media.

First off, love the name philspectorshot me : ok:

second, U2's biggest promotion was the Ipod commercial with Vertigo and than SNL the weekend before the release, other than that I dont recall alot of hype. You can be sure that GnR wont be selling unreleased songs for commercials................ I hope :-\

If they do have a track on the Da Vinci Code movie soundtrack, maybe we will have 1991 all over again, ? la You Could Be Mine/ T2. Man, that would be awesome. The Da Vinci Code is gonna be one of the biggest movies of 2006, and surely CD will be one of the biggest music releases this year too. The movie is coming out in may...a single in march or april?
