Guns N? Roses, Chinese Democracy: As we all know ? we?re closer than we?ve ever been. We still believe ?

[bazgnr]

A lot of us still believe.  At least now we've heard from Axl directly, rather than rumors and hearsay from various magazines and "news" sources...

And this as well from "Big in '07?" from mtv.com:

Misunderstood Geniuses Still Earning Enough Credits To Graduate

Who: Guns N' Roses, Dr. Dre

What We Know: Despite promises that their decade-plus-in-the-making supposed masterpiece, Chinese Democracy, was right around the corner in late 2006, GNR still haven't delivered the album. A recent post from Axl earmarked a March release but hedged ? we'll see what happens (see "Axl Rose Sets Chinese Democracy Release Date, Apologizes For Delay"). Equally mythical is rap legend Dre's purportedly final studio album, Detox, which he's been talking about for years. A video recently posted on MySpace has Dre prot?g? Bishop Lamont promising a release in September, but a spokesperson would not comment about a potential release date (see "Producer J.R. Rotem Helping 50 Get Soul, Tossing Beats For Dr. Dre").

Prospects: These albums have become the equivalent of the "awesome girlfriend from Canada" stories your buddy tells after summer vacation: tantalizing but short on solid proof.

I look forward to hearing Dre's "Detox" but I'm not sure his album is "equally mythical" to Chinese Democracy.  Maybe in some circles I guess but he put out "The Chronic 2001" 6 short years ago.  Axl ain't done shit!

six years is still a very long period of time... its only in comparison to gnr 6 years seems like a "short" amount of time 

got a baby cousin who's about 5 yrs old and was born around the same time as i've started waiting on CD... its so scary to look at him now and be like "i've been waiting for a music album longer than you've been born"

Yeah but Dre is also running a record label imprint, producing and guesting on albums.... Axl... well he tours sometimes.

So "Detox" while taking along time to put out still has its reasons, Dre is a busy busy man.

As for Axl I'm sure he's been busy but it just doesn't seem like that because he's been out of public view for so long.

" maybe Axl will leave a message like this on his website on Jan.1:"

?Hey fans, there?s only 52 Tuesday?s left in 2007! hint, hint.?

[PrettyTiedUp763]

Call me crazy, but I still believe. And I always have... 

[gandra]

well,i believe in chinese democracy from 2001

[michaelvincent]

I've been completely intrigued with this since that Axl interview on mtv...back in what? 1999? I remember it came on mtv and i was like 'wtf? wow...axl is actually doing something with GnR?' Ever since I've been following it just because it's about the weirdest thing i've ever heard of in music this side of brian wilson.

[bazgnr]

Yes, but Brian Wilson did release "Smile."  His story has a happy ending...hopefully, Axl's will, too - and soon!
