Here Today... Gone To Hell!

Not true.


http://allyourtv.com/0708season/news/april...008axlrose.html

A major music-oriented television channel has pitched an idea for a reality series to Axl Rose, according to sources close to the project.

The show, which would appear on a cable channel that asked not to be identified, would follow the troubled rocker as his continues his decade-long effort to release the Guns N' Roses project "Chinese Democracy."

Rose has been laboring on tracks for the project on-and-off since mid-1994, and in both 2006 and 2007 gave several interviews promising the album would be finished "within the year."

The sound of Chinese Democracy has often reported to be industrial rock music similar to Nine Inch Nails and Ministry, a style that Rose had long been a fan of. But the tracks that have surfaced online show a variety of sounds, with tinges of everything from Ministry to Queen to classic Guns N' Roses.

According to sources at Geffen (Rose's music label) a version of "Chinese Democracy" has been finished and delivered to the label. But there are still outstanding issues between the singer and the label, not the least of which is a recording cost for the project which (depending on who you believe), has reached between $11 and $15 million. Another stickler is the digital rights for the tracks, along with some proposed "bonus" tracks Geffen would like to release digitally.

This reality show project would be part of a larger effort to build buzz for an album which faces a number of promotional hurdles. Rose's recent concert appearances have been erratic at best, and many fans of the classic Guns N' Roses lineup are going to require some persuasion before embracing this new sound. Rose is also not an especially "journalist-friendly" preformer, making promotion for the project even more difficult.

The new (still untitled) reality show would follow Rose and his band as they prepare for release of the album. It would include behind-the-scenes rehearsal and studio footage, as well as interviews with a number of the participants. "There is a lot of footage to choose from," said a network source. "Some of it is incredibly personal and revealing about Axl's life."

According to the network source, the deal for the show is "close, but not signed." Part of the holdup seems to be the timing, as the particpants want to integrate the show into a timeline with the leadup to the album's release, along with the announcment of a limited number of concert dates.

Efforts to get a comment from Axl or his management have so far been unsuccessful.

"The new (still untitled) reality show would follow Rose and his band "

would... they say it right... would.



for god sake... ::) hope this ain´t true!!

I would love it-bring it on

Well I hope this shuts some people up about whether or not this album is really done! :peace:

Very interesting development, indeed.

I never doubted about the album being done but... does this news has any credibility at all?

GO FOR IT AX!

I know he said he wasn't like John Lennon in that he wasn't as good around cameras, but this is the kind of thing that will help the financing and sales of GNR's new albums. It could also give the general public a better understanding of Axl and his new players rather than letting everything hang on damaging speculations, which have only served to hurt their chances in the last few years.

MNR

This would be a great way for the band and Axl to create a major buzz.  Maybe it would give us all some insight to this lengthy process and then I might get off of his ass.

I have no doubt that Axl would bring the drama!!

Great marketing idea!

You want the drama?

lol voyerism... that?s what humanity has gotten into!

Quit acting holier than thou, you know you'd watch it.  I hate reality TV but you bet your ass I'd watch it just to hear the new music,

The most reclusive man in rock headed for a reality show that documents both himself and the most mythical album of all time???

I smell ratings, as well as sells of CD going through the roof once it's released.

you're reading WAY to much into that, and obviously didn't read the part right after... "There is a lot of footage to choose from,"


it's just describing what the SHOW would do

But hell yeah, that'd be great

Axl will be the new Ozzy!!! ;D

lol you just talked about the drama.. I pointed it out.  ;)

I was just using the world "would" to state my opinion that I really ain?t too much receptive to this. Just trying to say that they should stick with the "would".   : ok:

Why would you hope its not true...So many people always want information and say we dont get enough of it. If this did happen wed get all the information wed need on whats been goin on in the CD process. This would be great for the fans. Big deal its reality TV..its still Axl Fuckin Rose!

why woudlnt anyone want this??? the GNR camp has been so secretive...imagine a reality show/documentary on the making/release of chinese democracy...

I wouldn?t mind a documentary. It would gave us the same information, the one we want so badly. But why a reality show? I just don?t get it... but people are so hooked to those kind of shows today anyways... I?m just not... sorry!

This would be great for the fans and takes care of promotion for the album at the same time, obviously something that is probably holding things up right now.

Great news if this is true although I have a little trouble thinking Axl would want to yap continuously on TV.

isn't it new that the source is said to be geffen?

pinch of salt but I like the idea of a serious documentary on cd.


demos but the description is not bad.


erratic in what way? ???

If it's good for the band, I'm all for it.

HA that wil be cool . : ok:




I hope its true better than nothing....

And we go from suicidal to excited in less than 24 hours :D

This story isn't true.

"Despite rumors floating around the Internet, Guns N' Roses will not be appearing on any reality TV program to promote their forthcoming album, Chinese Democracy, or for any other reason."

Indeed, this was a rumor which mas also mentionted in a (for the rest reliable) magazine in Belgium (HUMO). They stated that with the new album, there will also be some (DVD) documentary added with the album from the recordings of Chinese Democracy...to promote the album.

So, again we received false rumors in the magazine ! ::)

They only thing I find a bit strange is: why does the official website denies this rumor? This is one of the few times they actually do an offcicial statement about GN'R related rumors. What about all the other GN'R rumors sometimes going around the internet?? (Robin leaving for example??)

 :smoking:

EDIT: on the other hand, it's a pitty this rumor is false: it would have been cool to have such kind of documentary about the recordings of Chinese Democracy. Then we would see how much effort has been done to make this album by the S E V E R A L artists in the last 14 years....it would had been a cool promotion for the album
