Band stability after CD's release?

[Lostrose]

first, i dont think they'll split up.  i met Robin at a bar in Providence RI a while ago, and i went to the first show at Hammerstein and met Ron Thal afterwards.  They both seem to enjoy working with Axl.   But then again, that is definately obsolete information. 

Second, when i saw GnR in london, axl said he was working on THREE albums.  Thats also obsolete, and i also believe CD may be a triple disc albumn.  Its never been done before, it would explain the delays, and if anyone was gonna do it, it would be Axl, the only man who can bring what i call "metal-rock" back from the dead.

Hey! "metal-rock". Well put!!!

he wouldn't be the first with a triple album . Prince already did it ,if I'm not mistaken.

Prince has done it at least twice actually (Emancipation and Crystal Ball). Seem to remember seeing three LP's in one release before as well, but can't think of any off the top of my head.

band stability??? gnr???

this was a joke, right?

there never has been band stability in the gnr world. there's been plenty of turnover in recent years, and i'm sure that will continue.

but i think it has little to do with IF the album ever comes out. probably more to do with touring, since i'm assuming that's where today's members of gnr make the majority of their $$.

...and i also believe CD may be a triple disc albumn.? Its never been done before, it would explain the delays...

"All Things Must Pass" by George Harrison to name at least one triple album.

Of coarse I've no proof (nor will I pretend otherwise) but I think that the monkey on this bands back is Chinese Democracy.? It remains to seen how its going to be recieved, but my guess is that once this baby is on the market, the whole band will go from strength to strength.? Axl has been, its common knowledge, been dealing with a lot of demons over the years, this album has been troubling him as we know and it may be for reasons we haven't touched upon.? Having experienced a breakdown myself, writing your thoughts and feelings is a great way to release the troubles one has, (it doesn't quite work on a PC funnily enough ).

Now the point is, this being a huge step, I would imagine that the great one, will have to be ready to face the (music I was gonna say) public. It isn't enough to release the thing, the meaning of lyrics? will be asked of him, speculated upon and even (suprise suprise) bullshit about, Axl can't unrelease the genie from the jar, if he's not ready to face the world with this.

That said, upto 2005, I beleive the demons were still in evidence, but through dealing with these and clearing up issues surrounding its release, I would think that the time is near.

The other members had careers in other bands, just like the original line-up. Like Jarmo said, "who says they've only done one albums worth of recording?" I think a second album will drop about 1 year on from CD and will be accepted as a genuine Guns n Roses album. I also believe that newer members may add to the writing of songs on the 2nd album, comfirming their status as fully fedged members of the band.

I agree with alot of this. I just know that if I put as much time and energy into something that I presume these guys have with this project, I couldn't see doing anything but showing it my full attention and support after it was finished.
