http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=702As for the fate of the long-awaited Guns N' Roses album, "Chinese Democracy," Stinson would not reveal specifics, but says he expects it will see the light of day sometime this year. "The record is being completed. Other people are putting their final little touches on things, and then it goes to mix," he explains. "My physical presence wasn't really needed until September, so that's why I'm getting out and doing some shows. I've got my parts all done."
2003.06.11.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=726This part news, part editorial and part review. As we reported last week, Guns N? Roses bassist Tommy Stinson, in an interview with Billboard.com, eluded that the long awaited Guns N? Roses album ?Chinese Democracy? may see the light of day this year. We can now report that Guns N? Roses frontman Axl Rose is also confident that the album will be released soon.
2003.06.17.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=730Axl had a couple of guitar parts he wanted to play around with. That's the reason why the band haven't been together for a while and why they're all doing their own things.
The album is being mixed "as we speak". Tommy also mentioned September as the month when they're gonna get back together.
2003.07.19.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=751Stinson insists that despite Guns N? Roses problem-plagued 2002 tour, he and the band will be back on the road next summer in support of their 10-years-and-$9 million-in-the-making epic, Chinese Democracy.
2003.08.20
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=786"It's closer to the end of the record being completed than it is the beginning," he says. "And we start back up in rehearsal mode in the middle of September, which is a good sign to me that the record's going to be ready to come out soon, and we'll be out on the road again touring behind it soon after that. "I'm not drinking the company Kool-Aid on all that. That's all straight info. I guarantee that the album's coming out. Hopefully, it'll be out sometime before the end of the year."
2003.08.22
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=789Apparently Dizzy has been called back to the studio by Axl and GN'R hope to have Chinese Democracy out by Thanksgiving.
2003.08.25.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=794Axl?s been super supportive. So hopefully the GNR album will be out early in the new year, and my album will come out in February or March
2003.09.07.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=812This may be Dizzy's last trip with The Haptones for a while due to G n R going into reheasals to finish up the new record.
2003.11.15.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=875Dizzy was playing a show with the Starfuckers at The Gig in Hollywood, CA on New Year's Eve. Apparently when asked about the release of Chinese Democracy by a fan, he said that the band is trying to get it out within the next few months.
2004.01.02
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=913The interviewers said they keep hearing it will be out soon and it never happens.
Dizzy, getting a bit irritated, said, "it will be out soon, next time I'm here I'll have it in my hand, hopefully."
2004.01.29.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=935In the meantime rather than dwelling on the negative, Guns will be moving forward and surprisingly (without giving away any details) this unfortunate set of circumstances may have given us the opportunity to take our recording that one extra step further. Regardless we hope to announce a release date within the next few months.
Sincerely,
W. Axl Rose

http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=997As for Chinese Democracy, the mirage of an album Gn'R has been working on for nearly a decade, Stinson is fairly tight-lipped. "All I can say right now is the record is going to come out sometime sooner than later," he says, "and I will tour with them when they call me to do so."
2004.05.12
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1047Stinson added that he thinks the record is finally almost done, and the only thing that's holding back its completion is legal issues. Even the recent departure of guitarist Buckethead isn't slowing anything down
2004.06.10.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1073Apparently management has denied that any planned release date exist for Chinese Democracy.....
2004.07.05.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1097Dan: Is there any kind of a timetable? I know its so hard to say because there are so many dates that have been thrown around, but is there any idea at all?
Dizzy: There isn't unfortunately. I would say this year.
2004.07.09.
http://rockjournal.com/interviewdr.htmlStinson, the band's longest-serving member after singer Rose, puts the delay down to "legal and other issues" including "ego management" and the "psychological mindgame" of keeping a large band "simmering but pulling in the same direction". He expects Chinese Democracy to appear late this year or early in 2005.
2004.07.15.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1104Fans have been waiting for Axl and co's album 'Chinese Democracy' for over a decade, but Stinson reckons the wait is almost over. "It's a hairs breadth from being finished," he adds.
2004.08.04.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1118GUNS N' ROSES bassist Tommy Stinson has told the Rocky Mountain News that the group's long-delayed, well-over-budget album, "Chinese Democracy", is almost out. "I'll probably be touring [my solo] record up till the end of the year," he said. "Then I'm thinking the GNR record will be coming out real soon after that. Then I'll be touring behind that record. I'm anticipating being on the road for the next year and a half, two years." According to Stinson, "Chinese Democracy" "is almost done.
2004.09.07.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1148Braveworld has a Tommy article in which he talks about Chinese Democracy and Axl. According to the article he recently listened to the final mixes of the new album: Stinson also says that he listened to the final mixes recently and "added his two cents," noting that the songs were mostly quite long and epic, but "mind-blowing and fucking huge."
2004.09.11.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1153"I would imagine they would start mastering it some time in October, November, somewhere in there," says Stinson vaguely, about a record that seems destined to miss another semi-set release date.
2004.09.15.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1156antiMUSIC spoke with long-time Guns N' Roses keyboardist Dizzy Reed this week to follow up on an interview he did with Richmond.com last month, which was picked up by some internet music news sites last week, where he said of the release of the album, "They were originally shooting for November, but it may be February now." A lot can change in a month so we asked Dizzy what the plans look like now. He reiterated the November target and February fallback. He told antiMUSIC that the November release still has a remote possibility of happening, but the February release is more likely. However, he said that the only definite answer he could give is that it will "be out soon".
2004.10.20.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1184Has it gotten this close to mastering before?
No. This is it. It's coming in for a landing. The landing pad is near.
2004.11.17.
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/news/shownews.php?newsid=1207The record is being finished as we speak," Stinson said earlier this week on the phone from his home in Burbank, Calif.
What could possibly be left to finish on a record that has been at least, oh, a decade in the works? Some vocal parts and mixes, Stinson said, adding that once the band decides what songs make the final cut, GNR will, oh yes, tour.
