Nobody posting here seems to know.

And you want to have a discussion about something nobody knows anything about?  ???





/jarmo

The Album is finished, Ron is taming yetis in Siberia. Axl is sleeping right now. Robin is combing his beard as it was the hair on top of a beauty queen. Pittman is realizing that Jackamo is a character in his own head when high.

Their is noway none of us know what they are actually doing, unless they are standing right next to us.   

Come on, there must be at least one stalker on this board.

i wasnt aware that no one on the board didnt know the whereabouts, i just wondered because sometimes bbf or fortus return emails etc, that allude to what the band are up to so ::)



dude thats what i figured! :hihi:

they are in LA and not NY right?

They're taking some much needed time off, putting the finishing touches on the album if/when necessary (and depending on their roles within the band), and enjoying the downtime.

Except Ron, who's off taming Yetis.    :peace:

America.

Central America or South America?

They're hanging out at Bucket's chicken coupe in space.

Planet Earth.

I talked to Ron on Thursday night. He said he was going into the studio on Friday

I hope that satisfies your curiosity  : ok:


EDIT: Post #1000

there's a gay mod obsessed with deleting my posts...

Awesome.

i heard they took up saddam's old spider hole. They figured nobody would look there twice

cool robman from what bumblefoot said about goin into the studio it sounds like there not dicken around


hopefully there done with all the "finishing touches"

What's someones sexuality got to do with it?


Grow up.

Its good to know that he is recording for the album. Hopefully everything is going well. Give him our best regards, Rob...

Thank god that he is done Taming the Yetis...  :hihi:

I guess that compromises the March 6th tentative date since Axl said the album would require two months from the time it was turned over.

Only if bbf was talking about gnr recording sessions. Since he didnt specifically say "im going in to record with gnr" he could have meant he was producing someone else or whatever....

The topic creator states a good point  there are thousands of users here some with even close associations with Axl per say ( beta01). A little shout out  to let us know he is okay or any kind of babble on the completion of Chinese democracy coming around is fair to inquire......somebody has to know something (

Good point. Any clarification, Robman?

actually not... they have to turn it in next week... Perhaps BBF is replacing Buckets stuff...

I was in Vegas during New Years and I read in the local paper that some members of GnR were at a VIP party someplace in town. Didn't say who though.

He said he had to go to bed, he had to go to the studio in the morning, besides that, not much else about the studio. I know theres a transcript but it hasn't been published yet.

the few of us must have chatted with him for 2 or 3 hours.

More than likely THE WHOLE BAND!

Don't mind me, I'm drunk right now. :beer:

this was in todays las vegas review journal, under the gossip columinist norm clarke

"Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is putting the final vocals down on a new album that he has been working on at the Palms recording studios. The new album is due out in March."

and another small mention later in the page

"At Fix (Bellagio): Rose, with family and friends."

http://www.palms.com/recording_studio_1.php


the palms recording studio is in the same building as the playboy club in Vegas , hmmmmm coincedance or not ?

Is that a studio or a presidential suite for musicians?

The only problem are the ever-present temptations a location like that sets to a person. Axl likes his Vegas, hope it inspires him instead of stalling.

It just cracks me up everytime I hear that they are still recording. :rofl: Mar 6th, I think not.

thats the maloff casino (same dudes that own the sacramento kings)

so should the mod who keeps deleting my posts/threads for absolutely no reason, and without any explanation...

http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2007/Jan-07-Sun-2007/news/11834677.html

Good news. Good news.

And why?? things seem to be going on as planned. axl has to hand it in next week to make the marc 6 deadline.

at least we know the band IS in the studio finishing up the cd just as axl said in the letter.

well...
if they are still recording, that means that they are still not mixing,
if they are still not mixing, that means that they wont give it to the label next week.

going into the studio could have meant he was going in to meet with the band and oversee final mixing

True, but don't you think the question posed to him was something like "how's the CD coming?" or that the conversation was probably centered around GNR?

More than this, i stayed for two hours, and the comp was left on, and as i woke up, it said there were 3 people remaining until 8 am french time and i had left at 5 and a bit..

Well, BFF left at about 11:30 central US time. and he had arrived at about 8





what do you mean?

he said he had to go to bed because he had to go to the studio in the morning

well, there's the other thread where it says he's doing vocals...

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is putting the final vocals down on a new album that he has been working on at the Palms recording studios. The new album is due out in March."


How can final mixing even be done ?

if this is true, i dont see how it can be out in march. its doesnt make any sense. if he is still doing vocals, that means the vocals are not done. then the vocals need to be mixed. then the cd's need to be packaged and then they need at least a few weeks for advertising. i dont see how this can all be done by march 6th

I do not see a March 6 th date as possiable either

What it means is that there were weak points in the vocals in some spots. However the vocals can be layered over in no time. It is most likely done already.

lets say thats true. my points above still hold true. there is not enough time to get all of what has to be done to get it out by march 6th. and knowing how axl works, i can't see him just doing some quick vocal recordings at all. and as far as mixing/layering, this takes time to do and also to schedule. andy wallace is mixing the record and he is always busy.

guys, try to understand this...

maybe he is working in only 2 songs, putting some "yeaahhh" or "woooooah" and stuff like this... and the others songs are already finished and mixed... or even he still working in some song ALREADY MIXED but trying to put some back back vocals, or replace some words... simple as that, I?m a musician and sometimes I go to the studio with an idea to some finished song and I record, mix and hear if it?s good or not

c-ya

They have this up coming week to get it out. The week after that would be too late. Believe me, the mixing will get done.

i hope you're right. i really do. i just can't see it happening...

"Final vocals."  Perhaps two of the prettiest words my ears have ever heard....   :peace:

Hence the importance of the word "tentative."  March will make me happy, no matter what specific Tuesday it is.   

Apparently it's in the same building as that playboy party he was at---so this is true.  : ok:

That sounds....possible

so who cares if its march 20? as long as they are finishing the cd!! axl they said neded 2-3 days to finish the cd. well that would mean stuff for him to work on. say he finishes it this week. It doesnt take that long to mix something

No, it only takes 7 years. We don't know anything about the state of CD, so let's not assume mixing is all that remains.

And lets not assume that it is not.

I have logic and statistics backing me up, all you got is hope. I'll assume nothing's done if only not to be let down again.

if ron was in the studio on friday, this is most likely old news (old meaning some days.... or they finished today...) and the work might allready be done. merck and axl both said there isn`t much work left. merck said two days of work and axl called it "minor details"....

maybe, just maybe, we`re going to hear something this week. i definitely expect something this month. even if CD is coming out on march 20th.....

I'm expecting to hear something this month too, but I'm not sure what exactly yet. The 8 weeks window passes on Tuesday.

This is exactly the case. We have no idea what stage the cd is at this time. nothing concrete, nothing...

hey i agree it pays to be a pessimist, especially with gnr. all im saying is people make a host of assumptions bout what has been done and what remains. we simply dont know tho.

people assume for example that if theres still work to be done, then nothing has been mixed. but perhaps songs can be mixed as and when theyre finished, so most songs are probably entirely done.

This is from Axl's letter:



Looks like he's doing just that.

What's the problem?




/jarmo

i dont think its a problem at all. but what does "minor" mean? i have no idea what he means by that. if he gave more specifics, that would help define what he means by minor. minor in ones opinion may or may not be minor to another...we just have no idea what he means by the term "minor." if someone knows, let me know....

Who knows. It could be something as small as deciding from three different covers.

The problem is that Axl has said 'minor' before, years ago. It doesn't matter what remains, all I know is that as long as there are more stuff to be done it can go on indefinitely.

One should never apply normal assumptions to Axl Rose.

again, this statement is right on. bottom line is that i want the cd as badly as anyone else. but i won't believe a thing until i have it in my hands...

He might have, but he never gave a tentative release date before.

So I assume minor means minor.



/jarmo

Exactly, despite what people think & the media lies about... this is the FIRST time this has ever happened.

That is true, and might be the only hint of increased progress, real progress. I'll remain skeptical after last years 'happening', but I must also admit I feel this could be for real now. If only because he's dug to many trenches to climb out of this time around.

He's not an idiot, so he must feel confident he'll make it. Then again, it's Axl.

Either way, things need to start happening soon.

well, that is sort of true. as we all know , when asked if the cd was coming out before the end of 2006, axl said "yes." and yes he said 3/6 was a "tentative date." but that gives him a lot of wiggle room if it does get pushed back again and i hope it doesn't. and as for "minor", how can one define a word with the word itself?? the question is, "what does minor mean to him?" i have no idea.

Only W. Axl Rose knows what 'minor' means man, otherwise... blame Canada.

exactly my point.........

As long as the album is in Axl's possession anything can happen. Not just as long as theres "more stuffto be done". I'm assuming when its handed over to the label its then entirely their say what happens to it, but i could be wrong.

My point being, theres little point in worrying.

The problem is that we've actually managed to go a week or two around here without having anything to mindlessly speculate about, forcing most of us into discussions about things that we had legitimate information on.? I, for one, was kind of enjoying it...

If you read Axls letter and assume this report in Vegas is true then I would say this exactly when I expected Axl to be in the studio. It was unlikely it was going to be finished over the holidays, this last week and perhaps the coming week would need to be when he was in the studo if we wanted to see a March 6th release, and apparently he is in the studio so I see no reason to worry right now. At the moment I think things seem to be running to schedule.

We are just guessing.

There was a report that "Guns n Roses members (they did not list who) were in a nightclub in Vegas on Dec. 30th".  And we know that Axl was there on the 31st.  This article does not give a date as to when they were in the studio...so who knows how long they have been there.  I also think the words "tentative release date" is key. : ok:

As he explained himself, he thought it would be possible to get it out in 2006:


Sometime between the VMAs and the letter, he must've realized it wasn't gonna happen.


I don't think he would've put the tentative release date in the letter unless he believed in it.

Now, I understand the meaning of the word, as do many others here. It's not just up to Axl to get it out on that date.

There are a lot of stuff that needs to fall into place. A record doesn't magically appear in the shops as soon as an artist says it's done....




/jarmo

well, i don't know the meaning of "minor" is in this context, and no one does, except axl. also, i agree that it isn't just up to the band regarding a cd's release date. however, if a band gives a date for a release and then someone says that it isn't just up to the band regarding the release date, then giving a release date is meaningless unless the band knows that everything is done and ready to go. any business owner (in this case, axl) should be held accountable for the things he says about his company.

I hope "minor" will not become similar to "soon"

final vocals, could mean anything from a couple of additional layers to one track, to re-doing an entire song. but since axl said minor additions, i'm assuming it's only gonna be a couple of layers.

Obviously a band wants the album as soon as possible. But maybe the record company says "sorry, we need more time".

Are you gonna blame the band if that happened?

There's a lot of things that are outside the band's control. That's why there's record companies.  ;)




/jarmo

On the bright side:

Axl is working and playing.  Health is important.  The "muse" must be sticking around.  All systems go. 

im not looking to blame anyone. my point just had to do with bands/people making statements about whats going on within their band/company. if a band/company comes out with a statement about when a product is coming out, it should be reliable so we can trust them and count on what they are saying. if they continually say something and nothing happens, we begin to lose faith and trust in what they have said. its sort of like the boy that cried wolf story...

Ten-ta-tive
Adjective
not certain or fixed; provisional

i dont get why everone is so upset

- axl said the had finishing touches put on
- bumblefoot said there goin into studio on friday


and im just speculating but how would the newspaper know what they were doing in the studio unless axl was interviewed by them

A friend talks to a friend

The record company also wants CD out as soon as possible to start recouping some of that bread.

dont know why people are upset. this is the exact thing axl talked about in the letter they would do. do we really know if hes laying down vocals?? the article says so, but what do they know really.

March 6 was always sort of unrealistic. I always expected them to get in the studio last week/this week finish it up.

the release date will probably be around March 20 like merck said

According to blabbermouth, the Las Vegas review is reporting Axl is in town laying down vocals at a local recording studio-maybe someone can provide the link here-I'm no computer person-sorry-good or bad news-he's still laying down vocals? More new songs?

IF IT'S TRUE....

It's probably the "very minor additions" he talked about in his open letter.  The timeline would work out, too.

Agreed-I think it's the work Merk was talking about also-I think he said 3 days worth?

If he's actually just now doing that, the album won't come out on March 6th.

After it is all recorded, they still have to mix the thing. Granted it is probably already pretty much mixed, but they will have to tweak the songs with the new vocals at least.

They will also need to master it.

That is unless the "muse" decides not to show up again as it didn't all last year when he was trying to make these "minor additions". Then mixing and mastering would be the least of their concerns.

This is absolutely right. Tell me, whats wrong with just waiting until the cd is released or until we hear otherwise?

Then why are you here?

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=64923

Mixing in backing vocals on a track can be VERY quickly done.  Mastering it, once it's mixed, can be pretty quick, too...

Given the dates in the letter, and the info we've gotten from "other" places (which can't be discussed here), it sounds, to me, like they're pretty much on schedule if the report is true.

To give you the benefit of my supreme calm.

Agreed, this week and last was always going to be when he headed back to the studio if the March 6th target is to be reached. Right now I think were exactly at the stage we should be. We just have to hope it gets finished this time.

Agree.

http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/2007/Jan-07-Sun-2007/news/11834677.html

Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose is putting the final vocals down on a new album that he has been working on at the Palms recording studios. The new album is due out in March.

damn it! i was in vegas at NYE. missed Axl, but saw gilby clarke instead.

They're probably chillin' and doing the ''finishing touches'' in between

or the other way around :hihi:

you`re most likely right though....

I hope these are just "minor additions" and this thing is getting wrapped up this week.  Maybe the muse is visiting and he wants to create for just a little bit longer.  But it really is time to wrap the baby up.  I'm glad that all the chemistry and "chops" that were earned on the '06 tour are going to be represented on the album though.  I bet Robin has been laying down some nasty solos on recent trips to the studio.

Add another possible recording rumor:

According to the La Times.com January 08, 2007 at 05:23 PM

I was at the Palms last night for a television premiere media event that was supposed to happen at the Palms recording studio, but was moved at the last minute to a private suite. The reason for the change was an unexpected booking in the recording studio. This jives well with rumors that Axl Rose is in the Palms studio these days

Source: http://vegasblog.latimes.com/vegas/2007/01/fame_games_in_v.html

actually i think he was actually in the studio with a band named "Q*Ball" who are on his own label. It was not for GnR as far as i know :peace:

here is a liink for Q*Ball...its Ron and this guy named qball


http://www.qballmusic.com/about.asp

Thanks dude.

So, would he STILL be on studio? She talks about Sunday, wich is the same day the other news was published.

So, BBF wasnt recording with GNR?? thats a good sign at least that his stuff is done.

I wonder what axl could be doing?? the article said vocals, but who can really trust the article for that much? im sure someone working there said axl booked the studio and for all we know axl could be mixing etc.

whether or not, its good news they are right on schedule.

I am beginning to believe that Robin Leach is following Axl around while he is in Vegas. :hihi:

Posted Jan 10th 2007 10:38AM by Robin Leach

PARTY POWER
Rocker Axl Rose, who's stayed on to hang in Vegas was less rowdy than normal when he entertained family and friends at FIX in The Bellagio feasting on wings, Kobe sliders and adult Mac 'n' Cheese. Dining at the next-door table was baseball great Alex Rodriguez with friends and they ordered the same but added on Sea Bass and Salmon! ...

http://www.vegaspopular.com/2007/01/10/vegas-prepares-for-a-porn-star-invasion-as-avn-kicks-off/

mmmm chicken wings...

Great.. Thats all Axl needs.. To be around A-Rod and his sucking.

Not me.

Besides, remember that It was said that the band had done some recording for the follow ups to the first album during the last tour.

thats what im saying. we know axls in the studio. but really we have no idea what he could be doing. could be anything really

in his press release he said



so hopefully he's finishing up the minor additions : ok:

Is this DA place?? http://www.palms.com/recording_studio_1.php
Is this the site where the muse is present, thus allowing for the completion of the project!?
 :hihi:   

http://www.studioatthepalms.com/

How f'ing cool would it be to see the behind-the-scenes recording, jamming, etc.? 
Oh well, I'll settle for a couple albums and several concerts!!!!!!!!   :beer:

I am gonna be in Vegas next week...how fuckin cool would it be to bump into Axl there

Ahhhhh it just aint fair, wish I lived in Vegas, blooming UK, hate it here!!  Im not likely to bump into Axl, Gilby or any of em am I, sniff sniff.  Oh well, I got my own band now to concentrate on, hey maybe I could bug my bandmates to tour in the USA.  Thinking ahead somewhat there lol.

Daff x

He's still ridin' high though.

Highest payed player in professional sports history.

Jordan made more, but it was off his endorsements, not his actual contract.

He may be making more in terms of total contract...but per season, Jordan made 30 million the last season he played with The Bulls...and that was 98! Plus I think LennoxLewis and or Mike Tyson got like 28 million for there fight

Anyways, back on point..Im definetly gonna take some trips to The Palms next week and see if there's an Axl sighting. And a friend of mine is out there working, and he can get me and my buddies VIP to Spearmint Rhino, the strip club..and I know Axl frequents those places

Just out of curiosity, has Beta been on here posting about anything lately??? ???

I wouldn't mind hearing a little bit of an update from her. :yes: : ok: :beer:

That would be kind of nice. :D

This weekend it's the Adult Video News Awards at Mandalay Bay, If I was any sort of a celebrity, that's where I'd be, lol. So I'm gonna go down there and take a look around on Saturday....It's driving me nuts knowing he's in town, and frequenting so many public places, if I did get the chance to see him though, I wouldn't ask him a damn thing about the album, all I'd say is "Hey man, will you PLEASE sign my tattoo" lol, then I'd be on my way, I don't wanna bother the guy. If anyone is gonna be in town and is intrested in going, you can get tickets here(which I think will be pretty cool weather Axl's is there or not)  http://www.avnawards.com/tickets.php  the goood seats are already long past sold out though, not like I could afford them anyways.


BTW, for those of you that care....Slash is in town at the CES convention at the Gibson Guitar booth. It's not open to the public, but fairly easy to snake you way in, theres a lot of really cool shit to see there.

If I remember correctly, Jordan at one point with endorsements was making $109mil a year.

As for Axl, most likely that the 'word is out', he'll probably get out of Vegas, lol.  :hihi:

On the radio today, i think the station was 107.9, the dj said axl is in a hotel in Vegas laying down the final vocal tracks for CD. who knows where he got that info from?

I'mguessing this exact thread right here  :rofl: :rofl:

He got the info from Blabbermouth...

must be damn legit  :hihi:

Not if Blabbermouth got it from "this exact thread right here" too? :hihi:? :rofl:

is that a pun ''snake your way in'' slash snakes lol.and that would be funny if it is.
