Completely done? + Mastering soon...so CD will leak pretty soon !

If a song leaks, they should just offer it as a free download or put it on iTunes as soon as possible. So people who wanted to hear it could do it legally instead of having to look for it.

Unless it's an unmastered or demo version of the song.

Of course that would be the way to go, but I would think someone like axl would get a kick out of letting one go and see how people react.. I think that would be a great thing..

Or they could just release a song as single.

That would be the best, but without an actual release date I don't think it'll happen.. I don't know what road this band will take with singles n videos, but usually they go hand n hand, and I haven't heard anything about a video...

Greenday did the right thing by getting american idiot out way before the album hits stores..

[estranged.1098]

btw, someone please edit the title of the thread... mastering is not done yet.

[badobsession81]

this is all well and good, but from what i can make out, all that's been said is that stinson 'imagines' it'll 'start' being mastered in oct/nov... that doesn't leave me hugely optimistic, but it is good to hear that progress is being made by the sound of things! have i missed an interview or something?

The day a song or the album leaks is the day I remove myself from visiting this board until the actual album is out (I don't want to hear a word about any song until I hear it first hand). I don't care if it's months in advance, I'm not ruining this wait to listen to crap quality mp3's or ogg files. No way! The first time I hear CD will be at home on my mixing monitors!

P.S. - I think I just sharted.

[horsey]

no stinking leaks for me.i will wait for the cd to hear it for myself.im planing a big party for the occasion.a few friends and some other goodies.it should be a good turn out.good music with good friends.

Remember, that Dizzy said that are like 3 versions of one song. What if they let leak one of the less appealing and in the album appears the best version.

Not if it's a planned leak done by the band, dizzy did say they had songs like 5-6 years old that they kept doing..I'd love to hear the first few versions to see how much the songs changed..

[McGann]

When the "Bad Apples" demo leaked in early-mid 1991, it was slightly different.  The mix was a bit more raw, it opened with a countdown, and Dizzy's piano was not yet present.  I liked the song as an appetite-whetter, and it was a cool contrast to the finished product, but even at the time I felt a little guilty when I found out it was being played against the band's wishes.  I'd rather not see any leaks.
Back then leaking wasn't nearly the problem it is now, and there was only one leak, and it was quickly suppressed.  I think the current band's precautions virtually guarantee no leaks.

If there is a leak, I will downoload it, but I won't listen it but one song I'll choose randomly. But if Uncle Axl changes his mind and doesn't want to release the album and postopones it again, I will listen the whole leak. 

[dave_guns]

Anyone who thinks a release this big won't leak is an idiot.  When it does I will try my best to hold off though.  As much as I want to hear new material I've waiting so long that the experience of hearing it for the first time, with cd in hand, should be a lot of fun.

[SuicideUZI]

Tommy said it should start sometime soon, so it's not done yet. And even during the mastering, I don't believe it will leak. And there's no way I'd download it if it's crappy 128kbps MP3 anyway. I might think about it if it's lossless (SHN, FLAC, APE) but MP3 no way, I don't want to ruin my first listen of something I've been waiting for 11 years.

i guarantee CD will be on the internet before the public can buy it in stores whether it be a week or only a day beforehand, but i doubt it will be because of a leak during mastering or anything in the studio, and it wont be 128kbps it will either be 192kbps or variable bitrate

Is that a money-back guarantee???

Good one...
If it leaks just a day before the release, that would be no big deal at all to me. I waited 11 years, it's not like 24 hrs would be the end of the world. I don't like MP3s anyway so it would be even easier for me!

[grog mug]

I've never seen anyone in the band say anything about a CERTAIN release date until Dizzy said they were planning November but shooting for February.  This means the album WILL be done by the end of the year.  BTW, Axl doesn't care what the public opinion is, he'll know when its done.  He's putting the album out for himself, not anyone else.

[axllovin89]

i think axl will end up making a brill album he has the most amazing mind when it comes to lyrics and i totally admire his views on the world, mainly i find that life sux.... but i'm a teenager i dont know any better

I haven't waited this long to spoil the initial listening with a crappy bootleg

ditto

I just really hope that it dosen't leak waayyy in advance, cause I don't want to hear about it before I listen to it.

I understand what everyone is saying, part of me just wants to know it's real.. It's like I can't believe one day someone will actually say a release date, an actual point in time I can see on my calendar.. I know it sounds weird, I just feel like it will never come out.. I count the wait as since I about the SI.. It must be a little easier for newer fans.. I've been expecting something since Oh My God..
