Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Or is this just about the leaks..? ?

it does make it sound like they are reviewing the whole album, but how is taht possible?

innnnnnnnteresting

insteresting :o :o :o

and they only get 1/20 of the cover?

well gnr are not really big news in teh uk at the moment streets are much more likely to get read.  Axl will front cover kerrang if any mag

If you go here http://www.nme.com/magazine

they say "Yeah Yeah Yeahs album and Guns'N'Roses new tracks reviewed" so it's probably just the leaks.

It must be the leaks.

Just something written to sell more copies.

But the cover says "new album reviewed."

WTF

Probably the leaks + the good old 1999/2002 tracks (OMG, Madagascar, The Blues, etc.)

Also a good way to sell more copies of their magazine.

I'm fairly sure if they really did review the whole album, Axl or the band would take the whole cover...:)

well tomorrow when it comes out we will know for sure, ill deffinatly be going to the shop for a peruse tomorrow morning

well nme isn't usually a rock magazine so they might not take the cover, and the streets are a much bigger band in the uk so gnr will not take the cover until the album has a release date

nme is owned by mtv i think or has very tong ties with them will that affect the chances of it beign true?

If the are just reviewing the leaks, it is extremely missleading. You don't say "new album reviewed" if it is only leaks! :rant:

Can't believe a magazine would get to review the whole album before anybody had even heard it was officially being released, ?most likely the leaks. We can always hope though : ok:

it is the uk's biggest music magazine, but i still doubt they would review it before other big major magaziens in other countries

I agree with you, but I believe they are only reviewing the leaks...why would they have tha album when noone else does?

Actually, if it?s not correct, it?s a pure lie...

I think ive seen this before

 >:(

deja vu.

It'll be the leaks for sure. Hense why no Axl front cover because surely he would be otherwise.

http://www.nme.com/magazine

Just tracks.

"...Yeah Yeah Yeahs album and Guns 'N' Roses new tracks reviewed..."

If u take a look at the timeframe.. i actually posted it first...


HAHAHA!

its prob the leaks..  :-\

Yeah, you're right...u posted this first  :yes:

yep.

if the album is being reviewed. im not sure if gnr would take the cover. the nme is for bands with zero talent and hardly any weight anywhere else but the uk. on a brighter note, thank god for classic rock magazine, they always feature any sort of gnr news.

cheers
Dave

well it doesn't mean its just tracks, the site says one thing but the cover another, misleading public isn't a nice thing to do the only way to know for sure is to wait for tomorrow

Ha, i like rollercoasters

Read the threadtitle. Reaction-> Yeah,sure.  ::)
See the mag cover. Reaction -> WOHOO!  :o
Read their page. Reaction -> Retards!  :rant:

What comes next? Fun Fun Fun ..  :hihi:

It must be the leaks, unless the guy from the magazine partied with Axl and got to listen to the album with him. ?Note, that the cover doesn't say Chinese Democracy, it says "New Album." ?It may or it may not be CD. ?Either way, they're being very misleading if they're reviewing the leaks, because we don't even know if the leaks will be on a "New Album" or any album. ?We also don't know if the leaked tracks are final takes, so it shouldn't be reviewed as "New Album" material.

So we're mislead once again. Well, we should've become immune til now.
Just let this thread sleep, til someone called NME and/or Merck.






Gnahahaha, yeah sure, we do that.  :rofl:

Good point I would have thought maybe RS would get the scoop on CD when it comes out as it seems to be a magazine Axl still respects. Speaking of RS isnt the spring summer edition of RS due out soon that supposedly has a huge Axl and Zak De La Rocha feature in it or was that BS? 

Even if they did hear the whole album, I don't believe Axl will let them post a review of it before the mother came out.

When will this issue come out? I can't find it on their badly designed page.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs isn't out until the 28th.

I hope they review catcher in the rye leak too

If anyone is in the london area, its already out.

Please go pick up a copy and look for us.

I will be in London on Saturday, not like that helps anything.

Newsflash: Magazines lie to sell copies.

yeah, just look at the tabloids...  :yes:

It?s a real difference between this and the tabloids:

It clearly says it all on the front page:

New album reviewed.






I?ll say, sue them Axl!!!  : ok:

Precisely!   : ok:  and this is supposed to be a credible magazine, not a tabloid.  I'm interested to see what will come of this... they'll definitely get 3000 letters to the editor, unless of course it's legit!

NME ain't exactly known for their responsible journalism. They can hype up bands to the extent that it's gets really stupid. So they can also "lie" on their frontcover....

It's the leaks, don't you think they would have the whole front page if it was the actual CD?

Agreed...the speculation should really stop here dudes....if CD was out, even to mags/media, it would be wrap around cover type of stuff...not a little blurb on the front.  I bet the whole "article" is half a page to a page at most. 

They will review the leaks and I warn you, as a longtime NME buyer, they will not like the music.

Basically, if the music doesn't make you want to kill yourself then NME won't like it.  : ok:

aint that the truth, i hate chris martin....

well im going at lunch time to check it out just in case, but not getting my hopes up, but if it says we heard "this i love" we hate it. I will be happy as i know it exists. I get really defensive over my love of guns. all my mates hate it call axl weird etc. but the music means alot to me. so any review will be ignored!

It must be similar to the RS one and yeah who cares what critics say

but I'd appreciate if someone could type it out for us. ;D

ill be checking it out tomorrow morning when i get my dayly paper

Then I hope they include Silkworms and Rhiad.

It is gonna be leaks, Better, IRS, TWAT.

Yeah you don't, but you do it anyway cause you want to sell a lot of copies :no: This is Tabloid style :rant:

It's just the leaks

^^^Did you see the actual magazine or you just think that (please clarify)

if this was CD being reviewed I would hope it would get the entire cover or at least a pic of newer axl

Magazines do that all the time with videogames. Before it comes out they get an exclusive review before everybody else. Why not the same for an Album?

and we all know axl's been travelling alot , with the cd itself. I wonder if the album gets it's own seat on the plane?  :hihi:

 :rofl: Yeah It'll get a window seat  :hihi:

The hits just keep on coming from Saul!   :rofl:

its only going to be the leaks come on nme is such a random mag to get the first reivew of it

what a clueless mongoid you are :yes:

there are tons of bands out there more in touch with the public than gnr.  :confused:

and errr, NME is the biggest music magazine in the UK.

but they always mislead people.

FACT.

I know my music mags.

NME sold their souls years ago

They'll say whatever it takes to make money

Also, if you look at the NME site... on the page that talks about the next issue the text doesn't even mention CD review. You'd think that would be worth pointing out. It's gotta be a half ass review of the leaks & live recordings. Fuck NME.

When is this thing out.  I have heard conflicting reports.

If the album was actually coming out GN'R would get the cover without a doubt.

Hence it is obvious that these are only the leaked songs.

Shame that a review in a very popular mag is going to be in based on demos. Hope it doesn't tarnish people's views in the actual album is much better.

I shall be reading this issue tomorrow morning @ approx 7:30am and i'll post @ around 8am from work....

well they are going to be playing in England shortly and it is the biggest music publication in England, so from that perspective it makes perfect sense.

But in saying that, I think it will be the leaks  ::)

Still, such a poor move on NME's part.  Anxious to hear what everyone here reports come tomorrow...

I wouldn't be suprised if it was just the leaks.

Remember, don't trust a Journo as far as you can throw them. Lying pack of bastards.

Of course they had to put some stupid Nirvana reference on the cover with it.  :hihi:

when is the earliest anyone can buy this mag???

Some 1 go and buy this!!

I dont know where else to post this but theres a rumour going around that MARCH 26 is the release date of CHinese Democracy. if this is true then Mr.I was right  :hihi:

Where did you hear this? Source?

slash

several gnr forums. a guy is saying he knows Brian May and says it'll drop 3 26

Is that possible with no single yet?

I don't buy it for a minute. There would be a single and press release out by now. You need like two months notice to get the ball rolling with promotion.

ermm i dont know.

March 26 isnt even a tue its a sunday isnt it? Its bullshit.

heres a link to where he also posted this
(man im gullable)



http://chinesedemocracy.com/viewtopic.php?t=11533

Yeah, I hate it when fakes dont bother to look at calendars. :hihi:

I think CD will drop in May right before RIR. The perfect date is the tue before rio May 23rd

didnt slash say march also?

You didn't know that Slash is a liar?? :nervous: :nervous:...... :rofl:

you know him?!?  :o :o :-*

That would make sense. Just release the fucking album already. If it doesn't come out in 2006, even with all the tour dates, that would just be fucking nuts. Why complete 36 songs? WHy not just go with 13 stong cuts and release them right away. This could go on forever.

He should release it the day after they play RIR, that'd be one hell of a rant before he exits stage left...."oh by the way, you might want to go to your record stores tomorrow....SEE YOU THIS SUMMER! haha

So, now it's 9AM over there in Fishnchipsland. Do we really have NO English around here?!

i just read NME today in a newsagents. it's just a review of IRS, TWAT, Better, CITR and the Blues.

typically NME get alot of the facts wrong says TWAT is the only 'new' song as the rest have been played live before?!

they also have a pic of Brian May claiming he played on a 'un-named track' on the album - nice research there NME!

the reviews of the songs are pretty positive though. their favourite is TWAT and they say CITR has a beatles-esque sing-along chorus.

the only reviewed the extended version of better, not the whole track and they said it cuts off as it get's interesting (or something like that)

they also claim GNR has only one london show planned at the present (download) but that they may be planning a smaller london club show around the same time.

I guess someone will type it all up here soon. I didn't buy a copy cos there's really nothing new in the article.

to sum up: all old news, but a quite positive review of the leaks

I'm English but I couldn't give a flying fuck what NME says about anything and neither should anyone else.

Thanks illoozion. As we thought.

And TWAT: I agree, but I think it's interesting nevertheless because it WILL be read by many ppl. Well, these ppl may have no taste, but they ARE buyers, so if we want Axl to have commercial success, he needs these ppl too. That's why I'm interested.

Frustrating mistakes.... but nice to see another positive review. Hopefully Uncle Axl is encouraged by the recent positive feedback in the media... : ok:

yeah download is not in london, so did they actualyl say a london show is planned or did they say donwload is planned plus another london gig?

i think it said that GNR had only confirmed one UK show (download) but that they may/are/might be planning another smaller london club show around the same time as download. they deffinately suggested it was a possibility.

i would think that given the other mistakes and lack of research shown in the NME article, that this smaller london club show is pure speculation by the NME 'journalist'.

can't see it happening, would be fucking cool though! i'd be first in the queue for a small london club show from GNR!

Good to see they did their research ?::)

Pity they didn't review the full version of Better... without a doubt that would receive rave reviews.

As for March 26.. think about it.. it's now March 15 ?:hihi:

Sounds like just speculation but very very possible.

Good reviews in all I guess. Could be a lot worse.

I think thats the best anyone could have hoped for out of NME. Useless magazine

Jonx

I guess Im not the only one who was reminded of STP in "Better."  Thats certainly not to say Axl was influenced at all by STP, its just what I picked up on first listen.  It reminded me a little of a rocking "Adhesive"...

Tanks so much GNFNR.

They will shit their pants when they hear the better full. :hihi:


That's news. Yet they haven't heard better full.

Thanks GNFNR! :beer:

The first part of the article is good, with a hint of a new UK date. The reviews of the new songs are laughable.

It reminded me a bit - a tiny little bit - of Plush in the first listenings... . :P

While the NME don't know their GNR for shit, they would definatly be ahead of us lot in terms of being aware of possible dates...

I'm fucking praying that they do announce a London show!

The new Wembley stadium would be sold-out. This new band needs a BIG SHOW, but not a festival, a big big show on their own.
Something that would stay in memories like the Paris'92 for the old band.

easy
"NME understands that a second live date is also planned around the same time - possibly a club show in London. "
sounds nice as well.

i geuss the reviewer didn't download the full version of better.

They claim they previously have heard it live.

That was one of the worst reviews I have ever read and is piss poor journalism. Many of the facts are incorrect, obviously (like what was played live) and "Better" sounds NOTHING LIKE STP!

i bet its earls court or apollo hopefully earls court because it could hold more, but applo is such a great place to see bands, you feel so close to the stage no matter where you are

How could they not have heard all of Better but heard CITR?Also out of those songs only the blues was played live. That article was shit

What?? Does the Blues demo really leak??

No the guy is misinformed.

Blah. ?Weak article. ?They don't even have the full version of Better.

As far as the review........there's that old saying, "Opinions are like assholes".

Yeah, a lot of half-truths in this article. Annoying.

well... decent article, but bad journalism in parts......

the review of the blues and better lack some research....

They were quite positive about the leaks, but all those little mistakes (TWAT the only leak that hasn't been played live, author didn't know Brain May played on CITR, no full version of the Blues) make it a bad read. I think anyone of us could have written a better article.

It amazes me that you couldn't look at the main page and find that there was already a thread for this.


You're smart.

There's a The Blues floating around that's actually two live shows playing at the same time, with audience sounds cropped out.

yeah that is the one my friend did for me, he did the same to madagascar.

yes you did and we are all very greatful :)

everything the magazines are saying in the moment about Axl's band is bullshit.

that was a very mediocre article

yet considering NME standards it exceeded my wildest expectations. ::)

for the record NME 5 years ago printed on its cover that CD will definitely come out that year(was it 2002?)

Am I the only one confused by the IRS / You Could Be Mine comparison?
They sound nothing alike at all... :confused:

Shame they didn't have the full version of Better to review.

good old nme thinking they have been played live as well

and why review the blues and not madagascar or chinese democ?

I'd rather the Astoria or Brixton..
