Hey, you shouldn?t insult fellow members!

Here's the deal-Axl has control of all the music-period. The band comes in completes all their parts-by all accounts-ALOT of material-30-40-60-100 songs whatever (instrumentals). Axl then takes this body of work and does his vocals, mixing, tweaking, changing, cutting and pasting whatever, until he has a record HE wants. During this time he can call people back in to the studio at various stages to contribute small things back in to the mix. Simple as that. Whether one album, two albums or no albums come out of this, ONLY AXL can decide because all this has been done for HIM. When he has a body of work he wants to share with the world, then we will have a release date.

I agree - but i'd like to see where we have evidence that they have done 70 songs.

brian may 2003 radio interview.. he didnt exactly say 70 songs but he said "more than 2 albums worth"

Forget that...Axl said it himself in the 1999 MTV interview.

[PhillyRiot]

Well, there goes the November rumor.  Congratulations to GNR, they keep finding new ways to dissapoint!!!!

GUNS 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. Closer than it has ever been, for certain. I went and listened to some of the songs before I left L.A. to make sure my two cents were thrown in, so to speak. I was pretty stoked about it. I heard some really, really great stuff that I hadn't heard in a long time."

Stinson is currently touring in support of his solo debut, "Village Gorilla Head", which was released in July through Sanctuary Records.

The founding REPLACEMENTS member recorded the material for the set in a Los Angeles studio owned by Charles Thompson (a.k.a. Frank Black) with contributions from A PERFECT CIRCLE drummer Josh Freese, his brother Jason Freese on saxophone, CATHOLICS guitarist Dave Philips, and GNR guitarist Richard Fortus and keyboardist Dizzy Reed.

This coming from someone who just the other day claimed they were not even in the loop

[grog mug]

March 2005 is what he's trying to tell us.  But will the world tour be called Chinese Democracy World Tour once again?  I mean how can you tour under the same name twice.  It's getting double the promotion.

[Johnnyblood]

You know what this means then right.
No CD this year.

Dave I can't believe you were the first to point this out! But it's true, no way is November possible or even Christmas, if what Tommy's saying is true. I can't say it's thrilling to know that it *might* be out beginning of next year. I've been waiting since 93, been hearing 'beginning of next year' since 99.

this news is ok but its just wait after wait if it doesnt come out by spring axl should just competlely cancel this band out and live his life without music..

[Drugtongue]

getreadytorock.com has chinese democracy slated for a 2005 release...have to scroll down though...

[grog mug]

Being "slated" for release means shit now as we all learned from VH1 slated November release which obviously isn't happening.  A few more "months" out of Axl and we will see CD see light of day once and for all and maybe a few others down the road of 2005.

another point is, which someone may have or my not have mentioned.
MNM and U2 have albums coming out both in Nov/dec
I really dont think interscope would want three huge releases in the same month or within four weeks of each other
that is why I think interscope will let axl put it out in 2005

[killingvector]

didn't tommy just say a week or two ago that CD would be out this year? Didn't Peeps make that contact with him? Was Peeps report bogus then? Or is Tommy just all over the map?

[DemocracyRose]

Novembers is out of the question....

I hate to bring it on, but because Tommy has listened too a few songs, doesnt mean that C.D is ready....

[Dont Try Me]

Novembers is out of the question....

Yeah, btw they took out the "november" part off from gnronline too

"Includes news, tour dates and information on Chinese Democracy."

"Includes news, tour dates and information on Chinese Democracy." 


Yes, but this Google thing means nothing...

[metallex78]

One day, just ONE FUCKING DAY I'd like to read "Chinese Democracy is FINISHED and will be released...", but all we hear is it's almost done, it'll be out this year for sure, its coming, its close to being done, just some last minute tweaking to do etc etc etc.

Us GN'R fans are suckers for punishment.
