Exactly I mean when Axl said in 2002 that he "wouldn't say soon" for when CD would be released, people should have realized that there was a lot of work and recording still to be done.? Yet the rumors swirled and people thought that the album was going to come out in early 2003 without anyone in the band even saying that it would, and without the record label issuing even a tenative release date like "Spring 2003".? It was just automatically assumed that the album was finished, but every rumor I ever heard like that wasn't a direct source.? The source of these rumors are from people who are actually in the band.?
Exactly. You hit that one right on the head man.
