Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Edit:

There is no release date at this point. This date is false.

Do not listen to online retailers who are only guessing the date and want you to pre-order the album from them.

according to the hits music channel new release date sep 17th 2007

and you believe it? :hihi:

that's my birthday!

would be sweet if it came out that day, however it'll be coming sooner than that.

don't believe everything ya read man! : ok:

Mail them and say that HMV is not as reliable source for the release date of CD....

just makes you wonder if they just make it up as they go along!!!!  And yes I do believe it will be out way before then

There's a long time between now and September 17th where something could go wrong.

If Sept. 17th is the new release date I think we should all quit being fans of the band.  Next Fall?  Give me a break.  What a joke.  I really hope this is not reliable.

Isn't there a tread about this already? ? ?

 ???

This is ridiculous.
Even if does turn out to be true, they are not going to annouce a firm release date 6 months ahead of time.
When has that ever happened?

Despite the touring they did last year and before in 1991 before UYI came out, I have a hard time believing they'll be touring the world extensively through the Spring and Summer without something to support.

A late Spring/Early summer release seems logical to me.

Yes!! We FINALLY have a release date!!!  : ok:

 :hihi:  and  :rofl:

There is no release date planned now! It's gonna be out probably at the beginning of the tour, so towards the last half of April, or at the very latest the first week of May.  :peace:

Summer is more likely, after this current tour. The main music markets are American and European, they need to be in those regions when its released for interviews, promo and maybe even some of the summer festivals.... they still have loads to do! They cant move on with the release until its physically completed in every way!

another HMV rumor......mmmmmm :puke:

Okay. A. this isnt a reliable release date source, and B. ?If this is true, Imma walk my ass to LA and have a talk with the band.

Once everything is ready to go, they are going to get it out as soon as possible. I think the tracks themselves will be probably 100% completed in about 2 weeks. So, then I think the album will be out a month after that, give or take a week or so. That's how I came up with my thang. It'd be cool if they could do one of those MTV Unplugged things before the tour and air it the week Chinese Democracy comes out, also with an exclusive interview. Then when they come back, they can do some other "special" interviews, and shows, etc...

Jarmo or Mods: Would it not be great to have info in the "Read me before you post" thing with the lines

- We dont want to hear about HMV release dates
- We know adler is dreaming about a gnr reunion
- We dont want to hear about your friend who is working in a record store and heard....


and things like this..just a idea.

Hmmm i see where your coming from but i think thats optimistic. We dont know if a video has been completed, that needs to be done, they also need some time to rehearse so that they can actually play the new material. Based on other tours and the amount of time the band have used in the past to rehearse old material i cant see the timeframe fitting. Half the people in the band probably havnt even played on let alone learnt the new material, its going to take some time to get it tight, and they are going to want it tight as the expectations are going to be so high. Theres also the fact that these African/Asian audiences arent going to want to hear new material, they are going to want the set we all got the last time round. More than likely they will play these shows, come back, rehearse the new set, release the album, do the promo + mini tour in America and Europe, then back to the states for a full blown one starting in San Diego!

Jonx

Sep 17th, that seems too soon, mixing/mastering will take at least a year.

All in the name of entertainment my friend!!!! Just passing on what I saw dont shoot me xxxxxx :-X

that's not soon and BBF said that soon was the word :yes:

Axl said soon in 2002............ that word should be banned here

Jonx

It looks like HMV put it on their site...Blabbermouth.net picked it up and now so have others.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=67816

HMV has been wrong I don't know how many times...I think this is the same. :no:

Man, oh man Efish.

With all due respect, and you deserve plenty, you are VERY optimistic for a Guns N' Roses fan!

Also

Axl never said "soon" in 2002. In fact, he said these exact words after the VMA performance: "You'll see it. I don't know if soon is the word, but you'll see it eventually."

And another also...

Any mention of "HMV" should be filtered and automatically deleted on these forums.

axl said "it'll be out, don't know if soon is the word though"? : ok:

and dude if you haven't noticed, times are way different now :yes:

ahhh ya beet me to it. : ok:

i doubt that highly, for one the album is done and in the mixing stage and should be done with that in 2 or 3 weeks give or take a day, and then they have to turn it into the record company witch takes 8 weeks so i'm thinkin we'll have CHINESE DEMOCRACY in 11 weeks or sometime in May or june :yes:

God i hope so ?:confused:

I'll believe it when i have it in my hands. Things are different, but not very different, once a video has been shot and completed, artwork out there for us all to see then ill believe things are different. Axl had CD ready in 2000 but it never appeared. He now has all the recording done, but if the mixing doesnt come out right it could be a very long process, and if he suddenly has some wave of inspiration then "soon" wont be the word all over again!

this information seems to be passing hands at an alarming rate. my mate, who hates GNR, sent me a text this morning informing me of the release date which he says he got from a local morning paper they distribute free here on the bus. he heard some people talking about it in college, saying that it was coming out in september, around the same time as the illusion albums did in 91...so perhaps....

Remember folks, Axl said it takes 8weeks to get ready promote and finalize the record once it is done.

Which means that after it is mixed (which could take another month) it has to be mastered, then it is turned over to the record company.

The very earliest would be roughly 3-4months from now.

June: earliest
July: more likely
August: even more likely

I'd rather word it as possible. There's nothing likely about CD.

Unfortunetly, we all need to accept the fact that there is a chance that this album will never be released.

T

why do people still believe that it might come out in july august; these months are dead months as far as releasing albums goes. if it's not out till june, we'll have fall / late fall again. that's the story. besides, gnr somehow love to release albums in fall, as far as i remember.

When did he say that? I?ve just seen a quote that were something like this "99% of music is done and 80% of vocals".

Where did he say it was done in 2002?

Well for these shows in South Africa/Japan they can play pretty much the same setlist as North America 2006 tour and it will be fine, since they havent played these places yet. They can slowly learn some new songs and maybe bust out 1 or 2 in South America, and by the time they are back in the States, they will have had some break time between tours to learn more of the new songs, and hopefully that time around they will play atleast half of CD, if not more. Oh well, we'll see. I still think the album will be out in late April or early May. It'll happen....

between april-june or september-(early)december; if not: next year or...

Moby was briefly producer on the album in 99/00. He told Axl he had an albums worth of good material and should just release it. Axl fired him!

Jonx

This is not true.

There is no release date and we all know it.


As soon as there's news on the album, you will know about it.




/jarmo

woah it was false, i fell for it... no but seriously i wonder what april fools joke we will fall for this year

true. but gnr fans somewhat need those kind of rumours like fish need water. we'd rather be disussion vague dates, hoping that there's some truth to it (although in this case i hope there's none to it), than having to stick to the even more vague status "soon". a studio project, that has been virtual, a myth and a mystery for such a long time, if turned into something tangible, always brings our hopes (and fears) up. although we should know better by now...

AWESOME! Another release date!!! Im so excited I can now go on with my life again. Seriously though even if it doesnt come out this year or next be happy that its getting mixed and will one day be out. Just go on and live your lives until "The Man" gives us a official date. Then we all can go ape shit!

Ok so Moby said the album were ready?!! Come on!! I think Slash said it was going to be out last march. And I also think that we should not listen to other artists, I love Slash and I like Moby too but I dont listen to them regarding releasedate of Chinese Democracy.

Edit: And what I heard it was in 97 he helped GNR but I didnt know he was producing.

Edit2: Just remembered, I think Moby is recording his albums in his bedroom, and HE thougt the material was ready for release?? I think Axl and Moby got different standards regarding quality of the albums so I dont think you can take his words for CD to be ready.

Yeah! : ok:

There are 44 tuesdays left in '07. Chinese Democracy will come out on one of them.

Hahaha! :)

You guys are laughing, but this same situation again would not surprise me.    :-X


/bringbackadler

Technically, we won't know that this is "false" untill September 17th, right?  Technically, it's a rumor.


Whatever.  Anyone else wanna make a pact to stay away from all GNR boards for a couple of months?  It's just getting depressing.

once again the wise Jarmo shows us the light we always knew in the back of our heads : ok:


Ohh God not this shit again ::)

It is amazing how fast this stuff spreads.  My friend just heard the "release" date on the radio on his way home. :no:

It's not a rumor since there's no source for it.

The store that says so, made it up themselves because there's no September 17th release date.

It's bullshit.


/jarmo

Axl's writers need to write another letter for him, and give another tentative date. : ok:

I don't know... I'm starting to think that there might be something to this particular release date. ? ?:yes:



/bringbackadler

The store just figures how long it will take to mix the record then gives a false release date WITHOUT any info.  I knew it was false...and they will continue to be false until we get a press release...obviously.

HMV is wrong all the time, but have they ever picked a date that was too late?

Here we ago  again:
March, May, June, Sept. Nov. Dec., oh it's next year already.

RIP 2000-2006
2007, are you next?

I'm putting my money on late 2007 or early 2008, and I think it will be a double album.  :hihi:

Nope  :no:

Knowin my luck i'll miss the announcement and tour dates!!

I wonder how many GNR fans have died waiting for this album to be released.

Ya know, honestly I have often wondered this  :-\

Just hoping I get to see the thing released before something bad happens  :hihi:

I don't think this September date is true, but I'm seriously going to be dissapointed and pissed if this album doesn't come out at the beginning of the tour.  It doesn't particularly matter what I think, but what the Fuck.  You can't have 3 Chinese Democracy tours spread out over 5 years without an album and expect to be taken seriously. IMO

There seem to be those among us who echo this sentiment prior to every tour, and yet the tours keep on comin' and people keep on attending...Please remember that all known dates are taking place in parts of the world that have not yet heard the show we've been listening to for a few years now.  The final frontier, the last horizon.  They had better hurry up or they'll be playing Antarctica in '08.

yeah right,they know realising date

I'm tired of fuckers who knoing nothing

"once there was this rnr band, rollin' on the streets,
time went by and it became a joke"

for the public, this seems to be what has become of gnr.

2006 was a chance not taken, to prove them wrong. march 6th another. now what. pretty hard for non die hard gnr fans to understand our obsession. if cd won't come out during the next months it's getting more and more ridiculous.

WHEN????????

I remember watching the VH1/MTV show in 2002 or whatever, In fact i re-watched it recently. on the brief interview after the show by the curtain, he was asked, will we hear Chinese Democracy soon, and Axl replied

"Oh you'll hear it, I don't know if soon is the word, but you'll hear it"

I'm not saying that he never said soon in '02. But that's a case where he explicitly said it wouldn't be soon.

Then im wrong, my mistake, i got the context wrong!
