Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Been a while since ive posted on here.

1. CD - from searching around i can clearly see that we still don't have a date for the release.

The best rumour or current one seems to be feb 08! where do we get this from?

2.1st single - any ideas or rumours!

last time i was around we thought better!! as it was on some harley advert, anyone know any current news....

great to see guns tour, fingers cross for the album.

You know about as much as anyone else does. 

Wishful thinking.



Nope.

i wouldn't compare this to those time periods, axl will be on a record less then a month from today, some month ago he said "the timing coulnd't be better" (yeah he has said an awful lot of stuff but still..)

and come on, it was a tentative date, but when it comes out it'll be better then if it came out months/years ago..


live your life man, axl and the band and some fans does : ok:

Are you serious?

Some people forget so fast.....

I'm sure we have forthcoming news, but hopefully it's very soon

The album is a hair's breadth from being released.

Yeah, I don't think it'll be out tomorrow either.

So you're right about the soon part.  ::)


Seriously, we know nothing and this means it's not coming out?

Where the hell does that logic come from?


GN'R have managed to keep things secret in the past.



Remember when there was nothing and suddenly we had multiple shows to look forward to?

In the past, news about the album has appeared when nobody was expecting anything.


Stop assuming that no news means nothing is happening.....

I still believe that the album will be out as soon as possible.





/jarmo

what do you think is a realistic release date then?

jajajaa ??? :no:

Anything after tomorrow.


I don't know how these things work, so my guess would be just that, a guess.

i dont post much at all, but ive read every day for the past 6 years or so... and all we do is have the same conversations...... its very tiring

so i see why people are so pessimistic and impatient


on the other hand... people really need to learn to accept that it will come out and when it comes out, and theres no point to speculate on it, or worry about i too much...theres just no way to know...

You don't? Well, first you write some songs, go to a studio, record the songs, mix, master, whatever you want, then your record company will pick the most radio friendly song on the album to start promoting it, some bands also release a video clip, then usually after three months the album is released. That's how things work. Writing and recording may take some time, so usually the band avoids long tours during this proccess, you know, to keep the focus on the record.

Do you also release two albums on the same day and put out ten minute songs as singles?

Face it, GN'R isn't like every other band.

Gotta love them for that.

"Face it, GN'R isn't like every other band."



- It is funny how it only takes 10+ years for some people to understand this fact :hihi:

Jarmo, as long as I have known you or of you from way back from '96 on the Dust N' Bones mailing list, I've always enjoyed your opinion.  Moreover, I've always appreciated your commitment and efforts to the GNR community and fan base.  That said, as often as I agree with you, I find my opinions in contrast to your's on numerous occasions.

I'm not sure if you read my entire post, because at the end of it I do acknowledge that I do believe that this album will come out. 


I only know what I know, and all I know right now is very little.   I don't contend that nothing is going on.  Like I said, there's most likely legal issues or mixing issues or bandmate issues that are all possible reasons as to why the album isn't out yet.  But since there's been little to no indication that the album will be out soon, that only leaves a logical person to believe that it won't.  That doesn't mean it won't be out by Christmas, but if you were to have to bet something substantial on it for arguments sake, based on prior experiences and issues to date, a wise person would bet on a longer delay. 

Moreover, I do argue that in 2006, we did have a light rain if you will before the storm of shows.  There were leaks, there were numerous Axl appearances, and there were plenty of rumors floating around about possible warm up shows and a tour afterwards.  Moreover, we did have Axl saying at the Korn concert that you would hear music this year.  Other than a few ambiguous statements by Axl in a press release about Bach's upcoming album and Del's admission that recording is done in late February, we there has been little to nothing.  You could point to the tour in Asia/Pacific, but Chinese Democracy world tours haven't always (in fact never) yielded any new albums before.

And soon as possible is a relative term.  It's hard to argue the efficiency of a project when it's been ongoing for over ten or eleven years.  Hey, it's their art, they can do what they want with it, but seriously, it's only Rock N' Roll.

Cheers,

Andrew

exactly. what does "as soon as possible mean?" It means nothing. It can mean tomorrow or in 20 years. Just like what does "soon" mean? Well, we are still waiting for that and while im at it, just like i said a year ago, the word "tentative" means nothing and gave them an excuse for another delay. Im stating facts here, not opinion. Just look back and what was said and what has happened. Unfortunately, a lot has been said, but nothing has happened. I've been waiting for 16 years for the new album and i will continue to wait. i have no choice. i hope its "soon......"

another blah blah blah thread.? i hope we see this cd soon, as i'm starting to get bored with waiting.? i've been content lately with listening to older bootlegs, as the newer concerts seem pointless as we get no news of the "forthcoming" album.?

CD begins someday...but not today!!!

I was wondering who is still waiting for CD?  : ok:

I someday, it comes out, out of nothing....FINE! But I gave up the waiting....

Dude, you are digging up a convo that happens once a week. Try reading the boards more and maybe that will give you an update. Here we go again...

Hard to argue with any of that, I'd say.  Thanks for bringing some common sense to the board, and for demonstrating that it's possible to be a little pessimistic without being "not a real fan."  That accusation gets pretty old.
